    Oh my. Can the return of the Spiderfriends be far behind?

    It looks like Marvel was jealous of the Teen Titans cartoon.

    Yeah, that looks terrible, but that's pretty much par for the course for the animated Avengers stuff so far.

    Teen Titans was great shit. Not JLA good, but pretty good most of the time.

    Who is?
    Because this isn't appearing on the TV. You have to buy it.

    Yes, certainly there is no market for DVDs targeted at children. Otherwise there'd be like an aisle of them at Best Buy or something.

    Do children actually buy them?

    Because I've made a few cartoons, and we never forgot that it's the parents who have to open the wallet...

    I guess so. Presumbably the idea is that parents that are aware of the Avengers will see this and think it's appropriate for their kids.

    That said, it seems like an awfully dark story to have the main characters be no older than 9 or 10.

    Is there something about this that you think would prevent a kid who liked Teen Titans from bugging said parents repeatedly until they opened their wallets?

    I'm not sure what we're arguing. It looks terrible. It may sell millions, it might be exactly what Marvel wanted, but it looks terrible.

    I'm not sure the kids are going to want it that badly...

    It might work as "nerd dad buys it for his kids", but I don't think kids care enough about these characters they've never head of, and if Dad doesn't care, well then...

    Robin is cool because he's Robin.
    And they have already seen it on the TV, and it's watchable by adults.
    Admittedly I'm biased towards TT, since my old boss produced the show.

    Kid heroes vs Ultron...who, btw, just laid out the Avengers...seems Ultron should win.

    Heh, but WTH, might be fun to watch.

    I'd buy it if it was 5 minutes of Ultron crushing those kids, then credits.

    Enh, it seems harmless. I was more annoyed by the crappy Legion of Superheroes cartoon.

    It's of course completely coincidental that the 2 Avengers left alive in this movie happen to be the same characters that have movies out this summer.
