Well The IronMan anime was pretty bad. Shame really considering the trailer.
Maybe the problem is whoever is writing the plot for these series. Why Marvel didn't just hire animators while keeping their own story intact is beyond me...unless of course that's what they did when they made this crap 🙁
Then again, boobies 😄
I watched the next few episodes and they were much better. Probably they toned it down for the dub, because there was no crazy screaming and overly loud orchestral music making the whole thing ridiculous (I watched the 1st ep in the sub and the second in dub). It had a better, more subdued tone. Also Emma Frost is very milf-alicious. :3
Though Cyclops is a bit of a tool. At least its true to the comics there then.
My previous estimate was off. Cyclops is in fact a MASSIVE tool. I don't know why they even brought him along, he was pretty much a liability. But I guess they didn't have anyone else. Either way, I'm on ep. 6 and I really hope he gets over his emo phase soon.
And yeah, Storm seems unusually weak. And her powers aren't working right. She shouldn't be able to conjure up a wall of ice.
At least in Wolverine and the Xmen Cyke in a rebellious act in reaction to Jeans death and other issues went out and kicked ass! Motorbiked out and tracked down Mr Sinister's hideout and smashed.
In this show he's an emotionless yet untactful character who puts his team in danger.
The show also upstages Armor as the teams Ace in the sleeve, which is predictable considering she's Asian. Not trying to sound racist but all of these Animes are ripe with racism and patriotism in Japanese culture.
And it really is off putting.
In Ironman. Stark is uncharacteristically giving up his Ironman tech to the Japanese in the first episode. A first step in arming the world. The Japanese Generals sneering at the opportunity...........
Why the heck would Tony Stark do that? he first episode and the futurist billionaire is giving his tech up to all governments!
I wasn't surprised that Xmen was the better of the Anime series. Just like in the Ultimate Universe. But it was dull.
Marvel! If you want the Japanese style then fair enough. But keep your writers in check.
If I had that artistic team I would write mad episodes. Just choose an issue an go! People are idiots. It's a miracle the 90's Xmen even happened. They had complete power to makes episodes about whatever they wanted.
The IronMan one is off putting due to it's over-emphasis of Japan on top of Stark just willingly giving away his suit specs. Though I will say it's the superior in quality of the other two Marvel Animes aside from the lame CG suits
I don't even know why Armor was in here considering we already have Sunfire and Deathstrike if the writers just had to have Japanese elements in it.
Storm is highly unlikeable in this series considering her cocky attitude and watered down powers. Cyclops is being too much of a prick for his own good. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, Emma isn't a total *****; why is this a complaint you ask? Because she gets shit done at least IIRC.
Started watching Iron Man.
Yeah Iron Man is much better, simply because Stark is a really likable character and the coolness favor is focused on him. None of the X-Men really come off that well except for Wolvie which I directly credit to the magic of Blum, and I hear that the Wolverine anime is trash. Blade might be good.
X-Men was still okay though. But its really only okay imo. Mediocre. Don't know if I'll continue watching it though.
Most male anime characters are pretty effeminate and sexually ambiguous... so clarifying that anime Cyclops is gay is borderline redundant. We could already deduce that he would likely be gay by mere virtue of appearing in an anime. I mean, they bishi'd up Wolverine for his anime, what chance did the significantly less manly Cyclops have?
I'm only being slightly facetious.
Bump.
The ending was crap. Iron Man was much better, though still somewhat mediocre. But at least Iron Man acted like a hero and didn't mostly stand around and do nothing in his own series. I can't believe how many times the X-Men could have easily handled a problem but didn't because of how incompetent they are.
And in the last 5 or so episodes they waste nearly all the time trying to get answers out of some ***** scientist even though Emma could have just read her mind at any point. Man that was dumb. I havn't shouted at the screen like that in a while.
Well I can't wait to be heavily dissapointed by the Blade anime. The IronMan one could've been way better than what it was but it was still better than this mess.
See, that's why I stopped watching this; the Xmen were too depowered and incompetent for me to recognize that they were the Xmen and not just an organized mob.
I realized the first episode they showed her on that Emma would only be there for her perfect MILF bod; god she was weak as **** in this.
