Welcome to the second installment of "Il Palazzo's Weekly Heroes Rant!" Each week, I hope to inspire you to get off your couch (after watching Heroes), and jump into your computer chair (so you can read about Heroes). Beware though, I'll be recapping each episode as it airs, so spoilers will abound. Look forward to my often-wrong theories, erratic comments, and comparisons to the comics the show steals material from is inspired by. Hit the jump for my rant on episode three!
...or episode two if you count last week's as one episode.
Welcome to the first installment of "Il Palazzo's Weekly Heroes Rant!" After several months of waiting, we finally saw the return of America's favorite non-superhero superhero TV show. Each week, I hope to inspire you to get off your couch (after watching Heroes), and jump into your computer chair (so you can read about Heroes). Beware though, I'll be recapping each episode as it airs, so spoilers will abound. Look forward to my often-wrong theories, erratic comments, and comparisons to the comics the show steals material from is inspired by. Now, without further adieu, hit the jump for Il Palazzo's first Weekly Heroes Rant for season three!
With the incredible success of the Iron Man movie, it's not too much of a surprise that there's a cartoon coming out in a year or so about the Armored Avenger. This isn't exactly how most of us know him, Tony Stark is actually still in high school, as is Rhodey and presumably, Pepper. I think it's a little weird, not to mention condescending, to younger audiences to presume they can't identify with adults. Regardless of that, the trailer still looks good.
See it after the jump!
Many have already seen the first trailer, now Marvel has released a second. Both trailers kind of remind me of the X-Men cartoon from the early to mid 90s, just better. X-Men Evolution wasn't bad, especially the latter few seasons, but the stories were pretty scaled back for a younger audience. From the looks of both of the trailers, they're going for a much darker tone than Evolutions. I'm pretty excited about this, especially since it has so many current X-Men characters (like Dust), but still keeps many of the classic ones. Added to that, having the Hulk in there may indicate more crossovers with the rest of the Marvel Universe.
NBC has recently released the latest preview for the third season of Heroes, which is being subtitled Villains.
After a stilted second season (with a better-than-expected season finale), will Heroes be able to draw the crowds it once did? Will you folks be watching when it returns this fall?
