...Oh and I know about PPP being Trickester ;3

Yep, gotta agree with this. The cuts are a little much and I'm not so sure on this team aspect, but damn if it isn't a pretty show.
Climbing up that building near the end of episode 1 looked fan-damn-tastic.
It was awful compared to Spectacular. It reminded more of Spider-Man TAS than anything.
Nothing is as awful as the 90s series animation wise. The fight sequences in the first two episodes were great.

It indeed was a disappointment. Pretty much for the kiddies.

It's not about Dark/not dark. BatB was genuinely funny, with a varied humor and a lot of in-jokes, USM is just silly. In a bad, bad way. Of course this might change with more eps, but I don't really believe it, 90% of the first eps is just unfunny chibi slapstick, silly freeze frames and almost painfully bad "What Peter thinks" flashes, and all of this doesn't match the drawing style of the series one bit. It's all so out of place.
Which is a shame, 'cause the animations are really great at times. So disappointed.

I really enjoyed the 2 episodes I watched.
The only prominent gripes for me were the cheap backgrounds and perhaps a lack of life to J. Jonah Jameson, given that we've watched J.K. Simmons's live version. So far he was a talking head, which will most likely change.
The humor was a bit hectic and a little too Scott Pilgrim-y, but I appreciated that they included it without cheapening the art style (like I felt they did with Avengers, maybe Legion of Superheroes too) or going completely overboard (Teen Titans). For superhero cartoons, this is a fresh breath of air for me.
I liked all the hero voices but didn't like the villain voices
also lololololol @ NOVA CREEP

The Updated Jameson is brilliant.
Traditional Jameson : Grouchy newspaper editor. Perfect mass-media icon for the 60s-2000s. Not so good when print media is dying.
Modern Jameson: Multimedia Mogul with a political agenda (Fox news Rupert Murdoch style). Same characterization, hypocrisy and media presence, except far more fitting in the digital age.

I really hate all the clowning around.
I think they are playing up being a teen.
Man, they're gonna wear out the slapstick stuff faster than Teen Titans. Still, I liked Teen Titans and I'm liking this for the most part.
I was kinda worried that they were gonna make Doom look like a chump for a second there, but he came out looking like the boss that he is. He was better in the Avengers episode from last week though.

Am I the only one who thought the little Doombots with their squeaky voices were hilarious?
Yeah they were. Looks like they are using Nova's powers from his second series, were he didn't realize how strong he was. And accidentally killed a couple of villains.

Yeah, I like the quips and stuff like "Nova Creep" was actually pretty in character for Spidey, but it really could stand to take itself a little more seriously. Too much slapstick, which is a shame because I feel like there's a decent show somewhere underneath all that.

I think I'm hitting my breaking point with this show. I expected to make it a few more episodes in, but the constant awful attempts to be funny are seriously grating on me.
I don't think I want to watch it anymore.
Coulson "going native" was pretty great, though. It's the only joke that really worked.

Okay, watched 3 episodes.
Spectacular Spider-Man was better, shame cancelled for this. The attitude of spider-man in that show was awesome, the little change ups were great to keep it fresh and the quips where just so spot on.
This is like rolling everything that is bad in different animation shows into one. Overkill on the "spidey" gadgets they can sell as toys or action figures. Amazing Spider-man and his "friends" but overkill on the team part. inconsistent character, spidey is such a douche, not humble in the slightest and always contradicting himself. The comedy and chibi bits fit well into Teen Titans because that show was built around that yet utilized it appropriately and not every damn 10 seconds.
Taking this off DVR list. For record i'm also really disappointed in these first two episodes of Avengers as well, opening is atrocious and just stinks of some new executive somewhere trying to synergize all these brands and thinking they know what they are doing getting his hands on it.

That would be Loeb.
Brahs I can't take this serious anymore. The asides and chibby shit ruin everything. Because of it this show has no flow or rthym. And Power Man freakin' Power Man???
whats wrong with power man rafa? other than the fact that they had to use the wrong one?

Just not a fan of his. Reptil would been great for this series since they are targeting young kids. What kid wouldn't love a dude that can change into dinos?
latin quota has already been filled unfortunately. anymore, and its a non-white team.
cmon, are you serious?
If you have got Iron Fist on the team, then it makes sense to have Luke Cage.
i know. it just seems wierd when there is currently a teen power man running around with a different moveset.
but seeing as how the similarities between him and danny exist, i can kinda understand.

loeb is taking EMH away from Yost in either episode 11 or 13.
I don't understand what this means.
prepare for random ass shenanigans in place of actual storytelling. also references to his son(he already has one on ultimate)
but when did he start writing Avengers:EMH ? The 52 episode order was completed and in the can a long time ago.
thats a good point. is there a list of the episodes hes worked on?

Chris Yost was in creative control for EMH season 1 and about half of season 2, then Loeb and crew are in charge.

Spider-man cartoons...serious business.
I think the show's great. I also really like a team based spider-man for once. He's been on the avengers forever, but we've only gotten him as a lone gun in the cartoons (aside from the team-ups in the old 90s cartoon).
