May. 17th, 2014 03:56 pm...I don't like the way the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon killed off T'Challa.
Actually, I'm not sure I get what all the hype is about anyway. Having now watched most of it (I might give up at this point, T'Challa definitely counts as one of the best things about the cartoon and now that he's gone I have no particular desire to watch the last few episodes) I'd characterize it as "okay, but not great." I mean, it's not terrible, and I do know deeply bad animated shows, I have a weakness for some of them, I'm a Transformers fan, I've watched G1 all the way through more than once. But I wouldn't call it inspiring either. It's just. It's okay.
Seriously. This is what huge sections of the fanbase are being super whiny about it being cancelled? It's way not that good! I wouldn't really expect it to have gotten a third season except superheroes and Marvel being a fairly hot property these days. The pacing is dubious, the writing is uneven, it leans heavily on continuity, but doesn't use it to do anything much interesting, the action scenes are - competent but not, as I said, inspiring. And they take up too much space without necessarily advancing the actual narrative, which leaves the episodes feeling stretched out and floppy and rushed at the same time. It's okay, it's not bad. It's just. It's just. It's not great.
And they killed off T'Challa for totally unnecessary drama.
I just. What is all the fuss about this show why does so much of the fanbase think it's the best thing since frozen pizza dinners arrrrgh.
