This release from the high-octane 1994 animated series Iron Man offers all 26 episodes of the show on three discs, following the titular self-made super hero as he manages his private life as audacious millionaire Tony Stark while simultaneously piloting the super suit that allows him to face off against the most hardcore villains.
You'd actually be amazed to know that the Iron Man comics of the time were almost as bad. If you only know the character from the movies, this show from the 1990s is bound to confuse and lose a lot of the older viewers who'd pick this up. This collects both seasons of the series, the first being almost unwatchable. The second season is a massive improvement, cutting out the Force Works characters to focus more on Tony and Rhody, but it seems too little too late. The first season tries unsuccessfully to incorporate some incredibly rough, early computer animation that, even for the time, was bad. Kids under 10 may have fun with this series, but for older fans, comic readers, and those who've only begun following the characters through the Marvel CInematic Universe, you might get a laugh out of the cheesey writing and horrible animation, but this isn't even close to the Iron Man you've come to know and love. Only for very young kids and the most dedicated of Iron Man and comics fans.
In 1994, Marvel Comics' legendary quartet of mutated superheroes came back to the screen in an animated television series, and this special DVD collection features the show's complete 1994-1995 run. The Fantastic Four has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Surround. The dialogue is in English, with no multiple language options, through closed captioning in English has been included. As a bonus, this edition also includes introductions to the episodes from creator Stan Lee, as well as essays from Lee on the series.
The 90s F4 is, sadly, the best Marvel has ever come to giving us a "good" F4 TV series. Spanning 2 seasons and 26 episodes, the first 13 episodes are fairly weak, overly campy, and designed for a much younger audience than would normally watch this type of show. The second season sees an improvement in content, introducing the Inhumans, and starting to become a show more on par with the hit Marvel cartoons on Fox Kids, X-Men and Spider-Man. The animation is the same for both seasons, looking very similar to the animation style you'd see in the final season of the 90s X-Men cartoon or the final season of Captain Planet. A show that's good if you're nostalgic for the shows of your youth, but probably better for your under-10 set. If you have young kids who like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they'll probably appreciate this more than you or your kids over 10 will.
