Expanded Universe...

Marvel more and more...








Later today, Disney XD takes a big step in becoming that Marvel Channel we were talking about...

Tonight is the premiere of "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Avengers" as well as several other shorts, intros and clips. It's the beginning of a block of Marvel and other Disney content that is supposed to try to attract a more consistent young boy audience for the channel. Hopefully that "S.H.I.E.L.D" animated project will get approved soon.

And of course, this summer there will be the "Tron: Uprising" animated series that the Mouse will be using to justify green lighting another film sequel...

Soooooooooooo excited that two of my favorite Avengers (The Vision and Ms. Marvel) will FINALLY get some exposure in cartoon format on TV. It's one of my third-grade wishes coming true (about 30 years late, but excited nonetheless)!

My take on Ultimate Spider-Man:

Pretty good, overall. I laughed. The writing was good, the animation was good.

I think it was a mistake to relaunch the animated Spider-man franchise when Spectacular Spider-man was doing so well. Sometimes I can't figure out what goes on in the board room at Disney...

I love the whole Disney buying Marvel. Two brands I have loved since forever.
