The Guardians of the Galaxy Cartoon Still Doesn’t Know What To Do With Its Most Underused Characters

In the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, James Gunn did a pretty spectacular job of fleshing out the five heroes of the team in relatively equal manner. But so far, the animated series is struggling a little more in this regard—when it gets it right, it’s every bit as fun as the movie. When it…

The Guardians of the Galaxy Cartoon Loves The Guardians of the Galaxy Film A Little Too Much

The very first shot of Marvel’s new Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon is of Star-Lord’s cassette player.

What…

The Guardians of the Galaxy Cartoon Reveals Groot’s Origin Story

Guardians of the Galaxy didn’t need to explain the backstory to its bizarre, single-sentence-speaking plant-man Groot. But the upcoming animated series wants to, just as it did with Star-Lord.

The first video footage of Star Wars: Rebels is playing with fire

Two promos for Disney XD’s new Star Wars cartoon Rebels have finally been released, giving up us our first look at the show in action! At a glance it looks like Clone Wars, except we don’t recognize any of the characters. Also, the promos’ narrator seems to be a bit of a pyromaniac. He keeps…

The new Avengers Assemble cartoon looks… actually kinda okay

The first clip from Avengers Assemble, the new Marvel cartoon debuting this Sunday on Disney XD, has arrived, and… well, it looks fine. As a lover of the needlessly cancelled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, this is difficult to say, but Assemble feels like EMH, just with the movie roster. I guess we won’t know for sure…
