Marvel heroes coming back to TV
I'm happy to hear that Marvel is sticking with what's worked in the past and that's animation though I don't see how they're going to be able to do anything new with Spider-Man or the X-Men. There have been 3 incarnations of Spidey in the last 10 years or so. What else can they do? I'm sure I'll watch it anyway. As far as X-Men, Wolverine will once again be the focus or leader of the team. As I said in my X-Men 3 review, Wolverine is not the leader of the team. I wish they'd stay true to the book. It worked for the X-Men cartoon in the early 90s with Cyclops as team leader. I don't mean to be Cyclops's biggest defender or anything. I just think it takes away from Wolverine's mercenary/solo/on his own terms dynamic. The new Fantastic Four cartoon is going for an anime/manga look which should work for it. As far as Iron Man goes, I'm more excited to see what Jon Favreau is going to do with the movie.
