How old were they supposed to be? Adults? Teenagers?
Reed and Sue looks like late twentiesish.

I thought it was pretty cool the way Reed was on top of the situation seconds after dropping into it. Johnny is, almost literally, "Reed, the aliens want to kill me, they've put me on trial, you're my lawyer. Go!" And Reed doesn't miss a beat. He even breaks out some legal jargon, and he still finds time to be fascinated by the Kree's apparent likeness to Roman culture.

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Anyone see tonight's episode? I thought it was vastly improved over last week.
I'm also seriously digging the fact that they are offering no introduction to the characters. No origin stories or anything. It's actually pretty awesome.

Very good episode. I like how [spoiler:99441c1243]Thing was so hurt by Reed/Doom saying "Man fuck your cure." It's like they actually KNOW the characters very well.
And Doom! YES! Dr.Doom is doing this all to fuck with Richards!! YES![/spoiler:99441c1243]
I wish I would have been able to catch this tonight. Instead I went out for coffee with an old friend from high school that I used to have a crush on. Then she asked me if I was gay.
That line at the end about Reed seeing Doom's face was pretty interesting, as he was unusually smug about it. I'm wondering if the writers will make it so Doom isn't horrible scarred, but rather just has a faint scar somewhere on his face.
And Thing swatting a really tiny aircraft at the end was kind of hilarious.

I thought he had an accent... but, more importantly, when he stole Reed's files they were transferred to the Latvian embassy...

So this show is actually pretty good? I have not been able to catch it yet.
Last half of last night's show in a nutshell:
Reed in Doom's body: I'm really Reed! You've gotta believe me!
Sue: *stares intently*
Thing: CLOBBER LAWL
Johnny: *snappy one-liner*
Doom in Reed's body: I WILL ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE COMPLETELY UNLIKE REED NO ONE WILL EVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE HA HA HA.
<repeat for about 7 minutes while Reed in Doom's body gets his ass kicked>
Reed in Doom's body: Halp Sue I'm really Reed you gotta believe me even though you have no reason to believe me because I've offered no proof whatsoever but god damn woman get me out of this plastic box I'm trapped in.
Sue: *stares intently*
Reed in Doom's body: C'MON SUE PLZ
Sue: OK ^.^
There have been worse shows though. I'll try to catch a repeat of it on Youtube or something, since I missed the first half.

Actually the whole point of Doom taking over Reeds body was to be an asshole.
So I think you lose points for ignoring anything about the episode except what you were determined to hate. Like the catchphrase the Thing has been using for ages.
Reed in Doom's body: Halp Sue I'm really Reed you gotta believe me even though you have no reason to believe me because I've offered no proof whatsoever but god damn woman get me out of this plastic box I'm trapped in.
Except it's explained that Sue got suspicious when Reed was not acting at all like himself.
But again, let's ignore that.

So I just cought the first ep.
Yeah, Johnny's hair sucks. The voice acting was a bit iffy. But I thought it was way better than the Justice League pilot, which I thought was pretty bad in both the new voice actors and the ridiculous character design.
I really like that they're more like the 90s cartoons, in the sense that it's not "OMG WHO IS IRON MAN?" Nothing gets me more in a comic related media(that isn't comics) than referencing another character outside the show.

I actually missed the first half of the episode, which is why I added in the caveats that I planned on catching the whole thing when I could.

Wow, way to gay up Dr. Doom~! Why does his robe have popped collars and then a hood? And why does the Thing only have 4 fingers?
Oh and why's Dr. Doom in a martial art pose?
... what the fuck are you talking about?

I caught the episode with Doom the other night, and I wasn't all that impressed.
The show sure is shiny. Like there was a high wattage bulb in every scene.

So was tonight's episode the first one in production order? It felt a lot more like a first episode than the one with the Kree two weeks ago- there was even a nod to the FF's origin, though again, no actual shots of it. It's also the first time we've seen Alicia, and the first time Sue's actually gone invisible on the show.
Speaking of Sue, I did like how Doom kept her incapacitated with sonic attacks. The action was little better in this episode, but I thought the character interaction seemed to suffer a little- it wasn't as natural and flowing as in last week's episode.
Doom, however, was perhaps the most Doom-like that he's been so far. He would destroy an entire city and kill thousands of people just to put a black mark on Reed's reputation. Johnny's mimicry of his grandstanding at the end was amusing too.

I'm still digging this show. It really surprises me how well they've nailed the characters down. I still wish it would have used some traditional western art style, but hey, the anime stuff is what's popular with kids. Who knows, maybe the style will get their attention and lead them to the comics.

Incidentally, has anyone else noticed that some of the background females in this show have huge tits? Like in two of the three episodes so far, there'll be a scene that pans over a crowd or an audience and there is inevitably some chick with a titanic pair of knockers.

Can't wait to see what happens with that whole microverse thing.

It has not been a pleasant evening.

If it's any consollation, Munch, Dr.Doom was very out of character, terribly done, and the episode was horrible.
[spoiler:f0d9c73320]Oh god I'm lying, Doom was so Doom and the episode was great.[/spoiler:f0d9c73320]

Kinda.

Foreshadowing?
And Doom kind of has an accent in that if you don't listen for it, you might miss it. But he definetly has one.

Have you even watched the goddamn show?
I would LIKE to watch the show but I can't find it on YouTube or Google video and I don't have cable. Woe is me.

Man... everyone keeps bitching about his hair... apparently they neglect to realize that it could be much, much worse...

But I'll be damned if that painted on 4 STILL isn't growing on me. I mean, I even got used to Thing's tiny head. But not that 4.
