Why do Some Prefer Marvel and Others Prefer DC?

The other ‘Bots and I were discussing comics the other day, and we got to discussing the whole “Marvel vs. DC” thing, which is kind of like an even lower-brow version of the old “Ford vs. Chevy” argument. It’s every bit as irrelevant, and yet it strangely does seem to tell you something about the person, based on which one they choose. (I’m a Ford man myself. As a brief aside, I’m quite proud of Ford as a Republican in that they refused the government bail out, *and* they’ve managed to turn a profit recently.

EPISODE REVIEW: Iron Man Armored Adventures: “Tales of Adventure, Parts 1 and 2” (Episodes 25 and 26)

So here we are, after just about exactly a year, the first season of Iron Man: Armored Adventures comes to a close. There was some confusion as to exactly how long a season was, and whether or not we were actually well in to the second year of the show - cartoon seasons tend to run 13 episodes - but ultimately it turned out to be one long run of 26.

EPISODE REVIEW: Iron Man Armored Adventures: “Best Served Cold” (Episode 24)

Curiously, I seem to have missed an episode. According to the official information, there was an episode called “Uncontrollable” involving the Hulk that was supposed to air between this episode, and “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” I have absolutely no memory. I’m not sure if they reversed the order they’re airing in, or if I somehow just completely spaced out and missed it (Entirely possible, I’ve been very sick), but I have no memory of Hulk in Iron Man.

EPISODE REVIEW: Iron Man:Armored Adventures : “Designed Only For Chaos” (Episode 21)

Once again, we have an above-average episode that hits on some moral and character development in the show that, somehow, manages to fall a bit short of its potential. But as they’re consistently beating their own average, I have little to complain about.

EPISODE REVIEW: Iron Man: Armored Adventures: “Technovore” (Episode 19)

A slightly better-than-average episode that deviates from the established format somewhat, but still doesn’t manage to rid me of the ennui I’m feeling about this whole series.

EPISODE REVIEW: Iron Man: Armored Adventures: “Fun With Lasers” (Episode 16)

SHIELD just makes everything better, you know? I don’t know why that is. I can take or leave most of Marvel - actually, that’s not true, I can leave the overwhelming majority of it - but SHIELD is just inherently cool, and I’m not sure why. It’s better than Checkmate, it’s better than SWORD, it’s better than the 80s/90s LEGION, it’s better than any hoobajooba metahuman intelligence/spy organization. It’s just cool.
