A_Different_Drummer Based on the IMDb reviews I was prepared for the opening episode to be weak but frankly I was astonished. The worst animation in the series -- animation that makes you want to stop the DVD and run screaming down the hall -- is the first scene in the episode 1, where a walking man is done so badly you can get vertigo just watching. And the story for that segment is weak also. But -- just like the other reviewers said -- it gets better and the animation actually becomes kinda fun. Good writing, good voice actors, lots of action. Now, this is not the place to comment on Marvel decision to "juvenilize" their asset (as they have done with every other franchise) because that is beyond the ken of this review. But it works. Pretty good.Update Feb 2015: The more time I spend with this oddball production the more impressed I am with the production team. I think they were capable of much more but, because the series never caught fire, we will never know. There are lots of inside jokes buried in the script. Look at episode 212 for example (All the Best People are Mad) where the "doctor" who shows up in the 30 seconds to take the insane high school student back to the asylum is called Dr. Bradner -- and Brandner just happens to be the name of the series Producer! Lots of potential, under-rated.

Anthony Castelluci You have to take this series as an alternative timeline or alternate universe. The story arc is strong. But if you are only able to view Marvel characters as pure cannon, then this may not be for you. But if you are OK, with "What if" scenarios this is cool. The skinny - You've seen Peter Parker in high school, what would Tony Stark be like in High School? Like the review title says it has a lot of French design elements in it. The art direction is highly influenced by Jean Gerard Mobius. There are also a lot of Jack Kirby inspired design in this as well as manga influences. The action is excellent. And the Cell shaded 3D animation is wonderful. The characters are awesome. Again the animation comes into play with bringing them to life. Pepper Potts is particularly hilarious with the way they animate her eyes. Doesn't hurt that the voice actress and script are hilarious at times. Didn't bother me that they were all in high school. Again, I look at this as alternative universe. It's not mainstream cannon where Tony Stark is 40-something and the CEO of Stark Enterprises.The only thing I found a little off was how thin looking the MK 1 armor is portrayed. Granted the teen age Tony Stark is skinny little dude. But still, I thought his neck was too small for a super hero. But it wasn't enough to make me drop my rating a whole point. Love to see Silver Surfer in this style.

Fluorine Lawrence Yes, yes, YES! Now, this show is exactly what I want out of a Marvel cartoon. This series blew me away when it debuted on Nicktoons Network. This series has everything going for it: The plot, the super villains, the action, etc. Let's go ahead and review this marvel of a Marvel animation. The plot. At the beginning of this series, a younger Tony Shark is having the good life and than, all of the sudden, the airplane that Tony and his father was riding blows up and Tony thinks that Stane caused it. He knows the truth eventually and does whatever he can to save Stark International, a company that his father founded. The super villains: AA contains a TON of Marvel (?) super villains like Titanium Man, Whiplash, Mr. Fix, Justin Hammer, Count Nefraria, Stane (Note: Stane and Hammer may not be super-villains), Magnato (one episode) and much more. The action: AA has a ton of action. Almost all episodes have some form of action in it, even if it's not always Iron Man fighting. You know what? Forget that bulky Iron Man you see in films today, this series is basically KING. Tony Shark, in my opinion, is more popular in this than in the films. We really don't know much about Tony Shark in the movies, but in this, there's barely an episode that doesn't have Tony Shark in it. I love this series and no one is going to change my mind. In my mind, it's a Jewel.

WakenPayne Tony Stark battles the enemies of world peace with his revolutionary power armor technology. Yeah To Any Comic Book Fan This Sounds Cool But DOES EVERYBODY HAVE TO BE 15 YEARS OLD Its Ridiclious Everyone Except The Villiains Are 15 This Is What Happens When Disnep Buys Marvel Stupid #@*%ing Kids TV Shows Get Put Onto TV I Will Be Glad When This Show Is Cancelled Iron Man Is One Of My Favourite Heroes & He Is Portrayed Like This. Note To Everyone That Reads It: If You Want A Good Cartoon From Marvel Try Wolverine & The X-Men(2008) X-Men(1992) Incredible Hulk (1995) Iron Man (1995) Iron Man (1966). Even The Hulk 1978 Was Better Than This Crap.
