This cartoon series is one of the greatest for keeping nieces and nephews entertained. The characters are now defined in more of the way a five year old thinks and the jokes are on the same level of wit as Rocky and Bullwinkle thereby making the show just as enjoyable for grownups.
When this cartoon premiered a few years ago, I balked at first-although I`m an avid fan of superhero animation, I thought Super Hero Squad would be cutesy and cloying. Careful viewing proved me wrong. The characters are presented as fairly true to their Marvel counterparts, and the storylines are absorbing and action-packed, with a healthy dose of humor. Much of the humor comes from head villain Dr. Doom. Though he`s menacing in the comic books, he`s more of the classic bumbling enemy here, much like the Monarch from the Venture Brothers show.
The heroes are also a lot of fun: you get to see their contrasting personalities as they both do battle and play together. Iron Man is usually the leader, but everyone gets some spotlight time. As others have noted, SHS works on both kid and adult levels. I can see this in operation when we watch it with my nephew ( and luckily his favorite the Hulk gets a lot of face time). Settling down for a marathon of the show is truly something to look forward to!
This is a great show for younger children. My two boys, ages five and four, love superheros, but aren't going to the real Avengers movie (yet...because of the "drug references"), so this is a great alternative. I find it to be very kid-friendly and quite entertaining.
