天下制覇

 

Someone in music clearly was not trying.

Impressions:

My first thought was “Wow, they put some effort into this. Marvel must have scrounged up some extra money after the entire Madhouse year long fiasco.” That misconception didn’t last very long though as the animation stopped after the 15 second pre-OP scene. And then the piano kicked in for vaudeville hour. It took the entire rest of the episode for something to happen and by ‘happen’, I mean for any antagonists to show up at all, because actually fighting them is the cliffhanger for next week. Can’t be rushing too fast after all! Although it bears mentioning that the preview for next week doesn’t show a single piece of action at all either.

It kind of reminds me of one of those bad western cartoons, especially from the 80s with aliens or dinosaurs (or alien dinosaurs), where there’s a team of superheroes and then the plucky two to four teenagers who find them out and become their mascots and/or teach them valuable lessons, only this episode didn’t get as far as the mascots or valuable lessons. There was an entire pack of other teens wandering around that had will be important stamped on their foreheads, but they didn’t actually do anything except squeal over how great Iron Man and Captain America are, which pretty much sums up what the show was all about. No surprises here, just an ad for the Avengers and latest cheap plastic toys based on them. The only thing that stands out is that it moves even slower than most toy ad shows.

But at least it wasn’t the full on, non stop, chin dribbling blowjob for Stan Lee that Mighty 7 is.
