    You all need to bite the bullet and download itunes, you can also download episodes of Korra for free on it.

    EDIT:
    Also, I refuse to believe that Mike in Motorcity is not played by Steve Blum. That has got to be a pseudonym in the credits, right?

    It's looking increasingly likely that Disney managed to get the cooperation of, well, everybody for Wreck-It Ralph:
    Last month, we first saw concept art from Disney's upcoming animated feature Wreck-It Ralph. Set inside the world of video games, the film features a game villain — the titular Ralph — in his quest to become more than the sum of his pixelated parts.

    Disney today released the first teaser poster for the film, and our first look at Wreck-It Ralph, above, does indeed hearken back to the 8-bit era — and not just in the imaginary Rampage-style game that forms the movie's first world. The film will feature appearances from actual video game characters and villains, similar to the way in which cartoon legends from throughout the ages appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

    Legendary Nintendo villain Bowser is confirmed to appear in the film, as is at least one ghost from Pac-Man (though no word on whether it's Inky, Blinky, Pinky, or Clyde). According to IndieWire, other known baddies are planned to appear: "villains like Doctor Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog, Kano from Mortal Kombat, and Coily the Snake from Q*bert also pop up."

    We also know Dr. Wily and Zangief are in it.

    You can check out the poster here:

    there in lies the rub. theres being a sucker, and being a sucka. that foxconn comment was way, way, way uncalled for. hes a sucka. Understand that one, Titmouse is a business hanging by the skin of its teeth, and two there is such a thing as the union at least getting a rate that is fair to both the company and the workers their trying to represent? This is more Union going by the old 1950's song and dance about wage increases, instead of trying to get a fair rate for all involved.

    So there's a strong rumor that the current Avengers cartoon will be cancelled after season two due to low ratings and replaced with a new Avengers show "more in line with Ultimate Spider-Man," whatever that means.

    Also, there's a teaser trailer for Beware the Batman that makes it look every bit as visually awful as the Green Lantern series:

    The downfall of Heroes was partly considered Loeb's doing (writing taking a giant nose dive coincides with Loeb taking a bigger role in the writing).

    Also, in the comics, Marvel's Ultimate Comics: Ultimatum is largely considered one of the worse atrocities ever committed in the medium (slight hyperbole, but only slight), to the point that the tie-in books by other writers/creators would contradict and retcon Loeb's writing of the event while the event was still going on.

    Yep, and in the stupidest, most-out-of-character ways possible.

    He also technically killed Spider-Man in that event, to which Bendis (writer of Ultimate Spider-Man) basically went "Uhhh, yeah, no..." and glossed over it.

    But yeah, I wince every time I see Loeb's name in the credits for Ult. Spider-Man and Avengers.

    Sounds like Loeb is using his political weight to wipe out any projects he wasn't apart of whether they're doing well or not. I really hate it when Hollywood politics screw up good shows like this. I imagine this means he won't continue the Marvel anime from Madhouse, either. :evil:

    Watch this preview clip ... because Starscream's expressions are fantastic. I don't think there's been as much personification in this show before. A bit from Bulkhead, maybe some from Megatron (angry to ... angrier). Optimus has none, it's all through his voice. Arcee and Airachnid, maybe. But this is Starscream's show now.

    It was still ambiguous what happend to Peter in the main Ultimatum book.

    Loeb can still write a good comic when he wants but rarely does for whatever reason.

  • nightmarennynightmarenny Registered User regular
    It was ambiguous because Bendis hadn't decided if Spidy should die yet. He already had the idea for Miles and had intended to kill Peter during Ultimatum and introduce MIles after. He decided to wait.

    Ultimatum was stupid for a lot of reason(one of which being that no character actually made any Ultimatum) but after year or two Millar and Loeb got kicked out of the Universe and now it might be the best thing in Marvel right now.

    Pretty good season finale. Wasn't expecting Red Arrow to be a Cadmus clone much less see the original in a stasis pod minus an arm. Can't help but feel sorry for the guy since he's been living a lie for years. I'm glad to see what the question of what happened during those 16 hours will likely be answered next week since Cartoon Network is jumping right into season 2.
