Just now getting around to reviewing ShoutFactory!'s DVD of Hey Arnold: Season 2, Part 2 that just came out this part July... cause I'm just really getting tired of reviewing crap DVDs like this.
Do companies not realize that fans want the episodes of shows released IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ORIGINALLY AIRED??? If they do, then they're just assholes. Because this is my second review in a week, where a company has screwed up the episode order.
The problem: we have the episodes "Part-Time Friends" and "Biosquare" that originally aired as the 16th episode of season 3, on the season 2 DVD of the series. Seeing as how it was produced as the 19th episodes of the series overall, it would have made sense to maybe include it in the season 1 DVD, but that didn't even happen. So some moron over at ShoutFactory! made the stupid call to just randomly stick it on the season 2, part 2 DVD.
This is the third DVD release for the show, you'd think they'd have stuff like this organized by now. I'm losing my faith in ShoutFactory!

Earth's Mightiest Heroes.. DVD Disappointment!
As I said last week, I got Volume 5 of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Tuesday. And I am BEYOND disappointed with this release.
The episodes on the DVDs are not in the order they were aired, they are in the order they were produced. So if you watch them in the order they're in on the DVD, you're going to skip around a lot and be extremely confused. At one point, the "last time on the Avengers" segment actually SPOILED some major points for us before we realized that the episodes were out of order.
When studios release shows like this, it only tells me one thing: they don't give a shit about the show. They don't care about the fans, they're just putting some mess down on a DVD and calling it a day in an attempt to earn some money.
I was very happy that the season starts off with a cameo from the Fantastic Four. That was a nice surprise! Then we got a cameo from the Guardians of the Galaxy later on, another happy surprise.
But the jumbled up episodes completely ruined this release for me, especially since I can't even watch the episode "Behold... The Vision!" yet, as it's episode 14 of the season, but on the DVD they have it as episode 9. I'm putting a hold on watching it until Volume 6 comes out to finish the rest of the season, so I can watch the episodes in order.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Review
Last week (it might have been the week before, I just happened to notice last week), Walmart released Volumes 1-4 of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on DVD. And for ten bucks each, I couldn't pass on them =)
In just a couple days, I have concluded watching all twenty-six season one episodes. I thought all the heroes were portrayed perfectly. Especially how stealthy they made the Black Panther out to be, most of the time I forgot he was there, and when he did appear it was a "whoa" moment. Haha! Only problem I had was how BORING The Wasp was. The only time she seemed really bad-ass, was when she took her gigantic form.. which was once. Most of the time she seemed really petty, and was just a damsel in distress. She should not have had as much screen time as she did.
What made me the happiest, was that Iron Man wasn't made out to be the most important character in the show, which is what happened with the live action Avengers film. I'm probably the only person who will admit to this, but I hate Iron Man. I find his character annoying, in both live-action and animation.
The cameos by the Fantastic Four made me really wish they'd get a new animated series! Seriously, somebody make this happen.
What's great about me finishing all of season one today.. is that the first thirteen episodes of season 2 come out in a Volume 5 DVD set tomorrow (as does the live-action movie!)! I'll get that after work tomorrow, and let ya'll know what I think.
You all should watch this show. It's awesome.

Aaahhh!!! Real Monsters!!
After almost a decade and a half of being off the air, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters finally comes to DVD thanks to Shout! Factory. I've made it a goal of mine to get all the DVD releases of the old Nickelodeon shows Shout! releases on DVD, and I was doing very well. Until all of a sudden, the stores in my area, Walmart, Target, even Best Buy, stopped selling these releases, old and new. I have no clue what happened there, but it made it very difficult to get the DVDs, as I wished to get them on the day they were released. Most recently, Walmart isn't even selling newer releases online. I don't know how Shout! is expecting to make money off these with such limited releases.Today I ordered the newest releases of The Angry Beavers, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Danny Phantom, and Hey Arnold all online.
Also finished season 2 of Real Monsters today. It has become one of my favorite older cartoons, and I had never even heard of the show before Shout! started releasing it on DVD last October. The only thing I really don't like about these releases, is that there are no special features! >:(
For those who don't know, it's a pretty dark show, like Invader Zim, that centers around a trio of monsters that are in school for the art of scaring humans. The show takes events and obstacles that happen in our every day lives, and twists them to what they might be like if monsters truly did exist. This is a show I'd recommend to any cartoon lover like myself! :)
