Iron Man

I didn't watch Iron Man on Sky Digital. Instead, I watched every Iron Man episode (26 episodes) at a hospital when I was a boy. Iron Man was shown on the this tv channel - Fox Kids. It belonged over there. So did other ones such as The Incredible Hulk, Silver Surfur, and the Fantastic Four. Neither was as popular as Spider-Man and the X-Men on Fox Kids, however, among the children. If I could reverse back-the-clock, I would've made an effort to see every episode or season of Iron Man (26 episodes), Spider-Man (65 episodes), The Incredible Hulk (21 episodes), Fantastic Four (26 episodes) and Silver Surfur (13 episodes). Not the X-Men (76 episodes) however though it was deemed too long. I didn't mind if for example X-Men had over a 100 episodes even, but I still wouldn't watch it. Realism I presume. If the Spider-Man had over a 100 episodes, I still would've made an effort to watch these 100 or so episodes of this spectacular show ;) I'm glad for 65 episodes in the end ;) I liked how Iron Man looked in this animated series ;) I even liked how Tony Stark looked in this Iron Man series ;) Yet I would've preferred had Tony Stark looked different completely to the one we usually know or see ;) Not some man. If you want to see the Mandarin, see this tv series. Iron Man 3 will disappoint you. 8/10.

Everything here lists this as being shown in the 90's--I think it was recycled from an earlier show. I am almost positive that I watched this show in the 80's--there is no other cartoon I can find with these characters from Saturday mornings when I was growing up--and I know I watched Iron Man then! Plus, the animation (at least for that listed as season 1) is not on par with other shows from the 90's. I think they recycled a program (at least Iron Man) and reused it here. The updated computer animation does not blend well with the older animation. The references to the sudden "improvement" in animation also leads me to believe they ran out of the old footage--or got funding for new animation!! I had a crush on Robert Hays, and to me, he was always Tony Stark!

I don't think any current Marvel cartoons can compare to the awesome 1960's cartoons but the Marvel cartoons from the 90's and early 21st century are still entertaining enough.

This Iron Man series was shown in 1994 and Iron Man was joined by other superheroes which meant much more action and excitement. Joining Iron Man were the likes of Hawkeye, War Machine and Spider-Woman. And Iron Man's armour was so cool.

The villains were okay but Iron Man's arch-enemy The Mandarin tended to be over-exposed a bit too much. He didn't look much like The Mandarin from the comic book;he looked more like Ming the Merciless from the 1980's Defenders Of The Earth cartoon.

All in all, there was plenty of action throughout the series run.

Well my last review on this show was negative, but now that I have watched the whole series that has changed. Just like everyone else has stated that season one was terrible and i agree with them . As, I felt that every single episode of that season had the same formula, the same villains, the same plots and just the same everything. This was pretty obvious to know how each episode would end. Also, the terrible CGI did not help.

But season, came along and changed things up a bit, by actually adding new villains, having this home computer called H.O.M.M.E.R who is in J.A.R.V.I.S. I especially like how episode 7 s2 was handled.

The voice actors was good but season 1 felt it was lacking, Robert Hayes is a pretty underrated voice actor in my opinion.

I wish they explained though how he got H.O.M.M.E.R, I also wish they did more crossover episode that would have debuted Spider-Man, Captain America, The Fantastic Four and the X-Men but other then that it was a decent iron man cartoon.

In the mid-90s there was a string of cartoons based on Marvel comics, from the wildly successful Spider-Man and X-Men to the lesser ones such as The Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four and this show, Iron Man. FF and Iron Man both started as part of the Marvel Action Hour with debut seasons of 13 episodes each. They were both rubbish. Choppy animation, lame out of place CGI and inconsistent voice acting didn't help the stories, which ranged from limp and mediocre to indecipherable (one episode about a plane being stolen through some sort of time displacement makes absolutely no sense).

Despite this, Iron Man got a second season and managed to prove itself as a good show. The glut of regular characters was cut down. The Mandarin being reduced to appearing in minuscule vignettes at the end of each episode while hislackeys disappeared almost completely, allowing for a fresh batch of villains such as Firebrand and AIM to appear. The Force Works team also broke up, with Century and (the terribly accented) Scarlet Witch being cut almost entirely and Hawkeye reduced to a handful of appearances. War Machine and Spider-Woman were keep along and both managed to grow more as interesting characters in their own right, helped by War Machine finally getting a consistent voice artist in Dorian Harewood. Robert Hays stayed on as the best interpretation of Iron Man yet; smart and funny, yet able to convey action and drama well. He was joined by his armour's new AI Homer, who added some nice comic relief. The show improved in the second season visually as well. The art became more detailed and moodier, the animation much smoother and the mind-numbing opening credits of the MAH season were replaced with a fairly cool rock theme. If you can catch it in repeats, the second season of Iron Man is well worth watching, with engaging and entertaining super-hero stories (many of which are adaptations of stories from the comics, such as the Armour Wars two-parter). Just try and avoid the first season.
