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.

May May May Ma-aayy!

eh, so it's May. One of the least exciting months, in my book. Unless you're a senior in high school who's currently experiencing prom, graduation, and the transition into adult-hood all at once. But beeen thereee done that!

Only think really worth discussing over a cup of tea, is we've finally decided where's we're moving when our lease is up at the end of the month. It's only about four miles from here, and I'm gonna go from paying $115 a month in rent, to about $172 a month, which really sucks.. but what can ya do?

I also have to get my address on my license changed so I can get in-district for college. And I can't do that for about a week and a half >.> But hopefully everything falls through with that, and I can get summer classes all paid for, and OFFICIALLY be a college freshman =)

And I might be going to see The Avengers tomorrow..? But yeah, that's about it.



Someone should cure Cancer or something, so that May 2012 can be more exciting.. #justsaying

Sherlock Downey, Jr.

I'm going to come out and say that I'm probably one of the few select people in this worth that doesn't really like Robert Downey, Jr. I didn't like him in Iron Man, and I thought Iron Man 2 was one of the most boring movies ever, and I faintly remember what even happened in it.

That said, I absolutely LOVED him in Sherlock Holmes. This role I think is absolutely perfect for him. This movie doesn't really fall into the category of movies I usually watch, which is probably why it took me over 2 years from its original release to even watch it, but I really enjoyed it! The movie had great action, loads of mystery, and the perfect touch of comedy!

Every single character was beautifully cast, the sets were spectacular, the props and costumes were spot on! Watching this really has me more interested in seeing the sequel that's in theaters now!
