JackFetch Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think they should call it Super Crazy Fantastic 4 Fun Time Hour based on the style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Would be quite cool if they made this like Ultimate FF. Why is Ben's logo painted onto his chest...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Cause he doesn't wear shirts, duh. Why is Johnny missing a leg? Why aren't Ben's teeth rock? Nothing about that picture makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Cause he doesn't wear shirts, duh. Sometimes he does. Mostly, however, his FF logo is on his belt. The spray paint looks dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I know. Just thought I'd mention the shirt, 'cause people often forget that he has worn more than the standard underwear-like trunks. In fact, my two favorite Thing costumes are the full pants / tank top look and the Ultimate Thing uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 FANTASTIC FOUR VOICE CAST Two brothers and a couple of former Smallville guest-stars are among the main voice cast members for Cartoon Network's upcoming Fantastic Four animated series, The Continuum has learned. Brian Dobson is the voice of The Thing and brother Paul is providing the voices of both Doctor Doom and Mole Man in the series, which launches Saturday, Sept. 2. Both brothers have dozens of voice credits, including Transformers: Cybertron. Also recently, Brian was Lex Luthor in Krypto the Superdog and Paul was Juggernaut in X-Men: Evolution. Other main voices in Fantastic Four include Hiro Kanagawa as Mr. Fantastic, Lara Gilchrist as the Invisible Woman, Christopher Jacot as the Human Torch. Kanagawa is perhaps best known to comics fans as Principal Kwan from Smallville. He also played Taka in the recent "Sacrifice" episode of Spike TV's Blade: The Series and played Meizumi in the Elektra movie. Gilchrist played an 18th Century witch in the "Spell" episode of Smallville. H.E.R.B.I.E., a character created to replace in the Human Torch in NBC's Fantastic Four animated series in the late 1970s, will be in the new series, voiced by Sam Vincent. Other voices in the show include Laura Drummond as Courtney Bonner-Davis, Sunita Prasad as Alicia Masters and Alvin Sanders as Phillip Masters (a.k.a. Puppetmaster). H.E.R.B.I.E.? Why are they bringing him back? He was created because they were scared kids would light themselves on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tglancy Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Ugh. Less anime themed cartoons please. I hadn't read anything about this and happened to catch the show last night, and freaking hated it. More american cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 The anime animation style is fine in my book, but Johnny's character was way too anime-inspired (RE: stupid, loudmouthed, cocky teen). That alone nearly turned me off, but I can get over it. Did they air two episodes yesterday? According to my TiVo (and Jack's post from above) the debut episode was supposed to be about Dr. Doom, but Cartoon Network showed "Trial by Fire" instead.

Reed summons one of his deep space probes back to the Baxter Building for repairs, only to find that someone has hitched a ride on it back to Earth: the Impossible Man!

Now they have to figure out how to get the Impossible Man off the planet before he goes from ‘annoying’ to ‘dangerous!’ Episode #11: Bait And Switch Original Airdate: ?

The team realizes they’re in trouble, especially when they learn the Super Skrull, who already possesses all of the FF’s powers, has teamed up with Ronan the Accuser! The FF’s only hope might lie in the hands of the ‘Fantastic Fifth…’ a nerdy teenager named Rupert. Episode #13: Molehatten Original Airdate: ? Ben is abducted by the Mole Man – along with half of New York City!

But when the Baxter Building is pulled underground as well, the rest of the FF must fight off the Mole Man’s Moloids, protect their troublesome neighbors, and figure out how to get the city back above ground while Ben makes his choice: live underground as a king, or protect a world that considers him a monster. Episode #14: Annihilation Original Airdate: ? The FANTASTIC FOUR fall into a trap and are taken to the NEGATIVE ZONE, where they’re attacked by ANNIHILUS and his warriors.

But Doom isn’t one to share power, and he takes Annihilus’ energy source back to Earth with him. But even if the Four can escape Annihilus, how can they defeat Doom, who now has the power to destroy the world? Episode #15: Strings Original Airdate: ? The Fantastic Four are evicted from the Baxter Building!

The FF are getting a good night’s rest when Doctor Doom makes his move! Doombots infiltrate the Baxter Building, and while the FF do their best to fight them off, they all realize that the robots are nothing but a distraction… Doom’s real attack is the launch of the Baxter Building into space!! If they survive the Doombots, the cold vacuum of outer space, reentry, and their neighbors’ complaints, the FF plan on having a word with Doctor Doom. Episode #17: Impreious Rex Original Airdate: ? Susan and Johnny witness the arrival of Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who bans humankind from using the oceans of the world. Susan takes Johnny (who hates the water with a passion) under the sea, hoping to reason with Namor. Instead, the siblings become prisoners of Namor in the fabled city of Atlantis. Reed and Ben fight their way through a swath of undersea monsters to come to their rescue, but Namor proves to be a formidable foe. And even worse, impressed by Susan's eloquent pleas for peace, he decides to keep her in Atlantis as an ambassador. Episode #18: The Cure Original Airdate: ? Reed has come up with yet another cure for Ben, and to everyone’s amazement… it works! Ben is human again, but there’s one catch: he doesn’t remember the Fantastic Four. Ben’s memory has been reset to his life just before the flight that transformed them all into Super Heroes. And now that they’re down a member, the Mole Man decides the time is right to strike!! Even with the She-Hulk stepping in for Ben, it looks like this time the Mole Man may win. Unless a very human Ben Grimm can stop him. Episode #19: Frightful Original Airdate: ? A new team of heroes has arrived in New York, and they’re stealing the Fantastic Four’s thunder! The Wizard, Klaw, Trapster and Dragon Man are always one step ahead of the FF, saving lives and becoming media darlings -- much to the team’s chagrin. But while the two teams butt heads, Reed begins to suspect that this ‘Frightful Four’ doesn’t have such noble intentions. The FF will have to save the city from its new team of heroes, whether they like it or not. Episode #20: Out Of Time Original Airdate: ? The Fantastic Four return from a time-traveling mission to discover that Doctor Doom has taken over New York City! But even worse, they discover that history itself has been changed; the Fantastic Four never got their amazing powers in this alternate timeline! The FF realize that they must travel back in time to the moment of their origin if they’re going to stop Doom’s sinister scheme. Episode #21: Atlantis Attacks Original Airdate: ? Namor the Sub-Mariner has returned, but this time (although he’d never admit it) he needs the Fantastic Four’s help! Atlantis has been overthrown by a barbarian called Attuma, and he’s threatening to invade the surface world. Johnny comes up with an excuse to stay home and dry - someone has to safeguard the city - while the FF head to Atlantis. But Johnny doesn’t realize that Atlantis’ attack has already begun in the form of a giant, mutated whale. Meanwhile, the FF discover that Atlantis poses a threat far greater than they ever imagined. Episode #22: Shell Games Original Airdate: ? When the Fantastic Four are attacked by several suits of IRON MAN armor, they go looking for the inventor of the armor… TONY STARK. But Stark is just as surprised as the FF are about the attack… until he finds out the suits of armor were taken by DOCTOR DOOM! But before the FF can stop him, Stark goes after Doom on his own. Now the FF have to deal with Doctor Doom in a suit of enhanced ‘Iron Doom’ armor as well as the true Iron Man himself… now under Doom’s control! Episode #23: Johhny Storm And The Potion Of Fire Original Airdate: ? While fighting the alchemist Diablo, Johnny is doused with one of the potions the villain is using in a ceremony designed to give him ultimate power. And while Diablo escapes, the potion is having a strange effect on Johnny. He’s becoming more powerful - which is great for Johnny… but he’s also turning EVIL - which is not so great for the FF. Episode #24: Contest of Champions Original Airdate: ? The Contest of Champions has begun! Forced to compete by a powerful Elder of the Universe, the FF now must face four of their greatest foes in a series of alien events. It’s no holds barred competition against Ronan the Accuser, Impossible Man, Annihilus and Super Skrull! But even if the FF survive the events, they still have to deal with the Grandmaster. The stakes are high in the Contest of Champions – because if they lose, so does the human race. Episode #25: Doom's Word Is Law Original Airdate: ? Doctor Doom has unleashed his most advanced and most dangerous Doombot of all against the Fantastic Four! But Reed is shocked to find out that Doom may have created a true artificial intelligence… a free thinking, sentient being. Ben takes this ‘super-bot’ under his wing, and the team comes to trust this pet-like creature. That is, until Doom reasserts his control over it and captures Reed and Susan. Now it’s up to Johnny and Ben to match wits with Doctor Doom and free their teammates – but they have to go through the super-Doombot first. Episode #26: Scavenger Hunt Original Airdate: ? An alien scavenger called Terminus has come to Earth looking to steal the planet’s resources and technology for himself, and the only thing standing between him and the end of the world is the Fantastic Four.

slothian Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Is this anything like the Timm/Dini/Whoever DC universe? If not, I reserve judgement, especially as I don't rate most all Marvel characters in animation series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Is this anything like the Timm/Dini/Whoever DC universe? No. It's very anime-inspired, but not in a good way like Teen Titans was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
