took me 14 years to finish it!

The reason it was cancelled is because the president of Fox Kids hated Avi Arad and wanted to put him out of business. Also they could only get enough money to do 65 episodes. At least it lasted longer than Super hero cartoons do now. Spectacular only lasted 2 seasons and Wolverine and the X-Men only lasted one season.

Man you said it! i agree with you so very much, there is much that i would do just too bring this back! my gad, i loved it too much when i was a child! and ofc i still do.

Really, really dug this show. After years of
suffering through animated abominations of superhero comics, this show, the X-Men, Batman, and Superman ushered in
an awesome era of superhero animation.
They used stories and characters directly
from the comics, as well as capturing the
essence of the characters and the comics.
Gone were the days of lame characters and situations (H.E.R.B.I.E., the robot?
Seriously?) of the 70s and 80s, as the
90s introduced the real deals.

Dunno how long it's going to have taken me to finish it once I'm through. Missed a ton of episodes during its original airing in the `90s ('specially from the final season--I saw maybe two of those eps) and re-watching the entire run on Netflix right now, along with my friend's X-Men and Iron Man animated series DVDs--she warned me that the order is all messed up for X-Men though, as of Season 3 (Disney didn't fix it), so there's a lot of disc-swapping while viewing in order to make the story/continuity flow smoothly.

After, I'll re-watch the `90s Hulk (I'm sure I missed some), Silver Surfer (never saw it, heard it's one of the best Marvel animated efforts), Spider-Man Unlimited (never saw it), and [bi]maybe[/i] Avengers: United They Stand (wasn't big on it when it originally aired and only saw maybe three or four eps, but didn't outright hate it either).

We'll see if I get around to all the 2000s and 2010s shows (saw the short-lived 2003 MTV Spider-Man with Neal Patrick Harris & Lisa Loeb, as well as Wolverine & The X-Men, but that's it). Not intersted in watching any of the `80s Marvel cartoons, except for maybe Pryde Of The X-Men eventually (saw bits of it when I was a kid, but never the whole thing).

Iron Man is pretty awful (finished Season 1 a few days ago). It's the same villain and basic set-up every single episode (Mandarin stealing from a government facility/shipment--a few times after adamantium--or trying to kill Iron Man or take over the world, mostly getting his inept joke minions to do the work), with little variation and pretty sparse character development/motivation. The re-used CGI "suiting up" sequence in every episode is an insult, not to mention the amount of flashbacks in the final few episodes of Season 1 that rip you off for story. The only interesting thing about the series is the thinly veiled misogyny and how catty Julia/Spider-Woman and Wanda/Scarlet Witch are to each other over Tony...they didn't shy away from making Tony a total ladies' man in this series either, which is kinda funny to see in a children's show.

I won't re-watch The Fantastic Four. It was the first of these shows to be released completely on DVD and at the time, I bought it. It was mostly a struggle to get through. Didn't like the few eps I saw in the `90s 'cause it was too cheesy (I was 10 to 12 and watching stuff like Gargoyles, Batman: TAS, and X-Men at the time, nevermind all the grown-up sci-fi like Terminator 2 and such--of course it looked poor by comparison). I've seen enough of it, enough times.
