Synopsis

The Super Hero Squad Show is an American cartoon series by Marvel Animation. It is based on the Marvel Super Hero Squad action figure line from Hasbro, which portray the Avengers, the X-Men, and various other characters of the Marvel Universe in a cartoonish super-deformed-style. It is also a self-aware parody of the Marvel characters, with influences taken from on the comedic Mini Marvels series of parody comic books, in that the heroes tend to find themselves in comedic situations, and have cartoonish bents in comparison to their usually serious personalities, and is an overall comedic take on the Avengers. The series' animation was produced by Film Roman and Marvel Animation.

Rectangular_businessman This was a very dumb cartoon, being way too unfunny and childish to be remotely enjoyable. All the jokes from this series are terrible.If the creators of this series wanted to make a lighthearted portrayal of the Marvel super-heroes from a cartoonish perspective, why they just didn't make an animated adaptation of Chris Giarrusso's "Mini Marvels" ? That could have been something way funnier and much better than this painfully unfunny drivel. The only good things about this series were the animation (Which was gaily decent in my opinion) and the characters designs, which I personally liked. Other than that, this doesn't have any single redeeming value.1.5/10 (And that's being generous)
sailorknightwing I think a lot of reviewers are overestimating the target audience for this show. It's not for the Justice League group. It's not even for the Teen Titans group. It's the DORA THE EXPLORER group! Pre-schoolers! Of COURSE it's going to be incredibly simple stories and fart jokes! Afraid kids will be scarred when they read the source material comics? The target audience is too young to read anyway! It's an adorable show for very young children that won't make parents cringe when they watch with them. My 55 year old, Silver Age-loving dad thinks it's really cute. A lot of care was taken with the material, reducing characters to their simplest but most accurate characteristics. I think even Tony is addicted to something, though it isn't alcohol. Quesada and Stan really put a lot of thought into this series and it shows. Plus you just can't go wrong with Blum as Wolverine.
lpwcomp This show is based on a series of 2-inch action figures from Hasbro that came out starting at the beginning of 2006. The line was aimed at kids "3 and up". So yes, the show is aimed at kids. So what? Doesn't mean everything from now on in the realm of animated comic characters will be aimed at this audience.I came across this show cold upon seeing it in Greg Grunberg's CV. Having seen the first episode, I probably won't make an effort to watch any more, but lighten up people. Treat it as the farce it is and don't watch it if you don't like it.It would be one thing if this series was supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the comics - but it isn't.I personally find the leathered up X-Men and Fantastic Four movies harder to take as they don't look anything like the characters I remember - but then I was reading the comics when they first came out.And while I like "The Spectacular Spider-Man" and will miss it if the Disney takeover of Marvel kills it, as seems likely, the liberties it took were sometimes jarring.
Brownsbros3 I don't get it. Are they supposed to be little kids or midgets? I like the idea of doing a multiple superhero series featuring the Marvel characters, but this just doesn't work for me. Obviously, this is geared toward a younger audience, but I know younger kids that probably won't care for it either. I was not too keen on the idea of making Tony Stark a 16 year old kid in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, but at least they are making that work for me. This show, on the other hand is just plain terrible. They ought to go back and watch episodes of Justice League. The writers need to see what worked on that show and adjust accordingly. Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, etc. are just as beloved as the DC characters, and could become a good series if done right.
