Squaddies and Saturday mornings

The squat-bodied Marvel equivalent of the Super Friends started airing last week, with the awesomely named pilot "And Lo... a Pilot Shall Come!" The premise is apparently: saving Superhero City and a MacGuffin sword-fragment-of-the-week from Doctor Doom's Lethal Legion of cartoon-villainy that lives right next door in Villainsville.

A couple highlights: MODOK and Abomination fighting over superhero-Mortal Kombat, Hulk hitchhiking, surprise Doombots, and bringing in this guy in the second episode:

[Avengers: the Initiative cover]

Only, y'know, with slight changes:

Ms. Marvel is the kinda mean, hard-ass boss of SHIELD (including Cap and Hawkeye so far), who are sorta-ally-rivals to Iron Man's Superhero Squad. Silver Surfer talks like a surfer dude. Thor's got the thick Ridiculous Olde Accente. Captain America keeps talking like it's still the 1930s (Those were the days. Hot jazz and skinny eyebrows. Wha?). Hulk is cartoon-dumb. And also the mayor of Superhero City has Stan Lee's voice.

I kinda wonder how many liberties they'll have to take when they get to super-deformed Punisher though:

Aaand the opening sequence:

I hate those Squaddies. I'm sure people can relate, Doom.

ETA: Now with voices besides Iron Man's and Doom's. Ms. Marvel is Azula:
