Lena to do voice in The Super Hero Squad Show (Marvel)?
Sep 1 2009, 5:46 PM EDT | Post edited: Sep 1 2009, 5:46 PM EDT
Was browsing around Wikipedia on some of my favorite X-Men stuff and came across this on Mystique's Wiki page:

Found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystique_%28comics%29 Under: Other media
"Mystique will appear in The Super Hero Squad Show voiced by Lena Headey."

And on IMBD on Lena's page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0372176/
"2. # "The Super Hero Squad Show" (2009) TV series (post-production) (voice) .... Black Widow"

It appears this new animated show has a lot of voices done by pretty popular tv stars, here's a list I found for the show on IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1388589/

Excellent list there. Marsters and Hamill are terrific voice actors for these sort of things.

The only one missing is Jennifer Hale. In my mind at least. :-)

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that this show is based on Marvel's *bobble-headed* collection of action figures which are designed for ages "3+ and up".
Throwing around words like "sexy" is one thing for a cartoon that's designed for people in their double-digit years, but this is Marvel's most child-friendly offering. Though Disney had no involvement in making this line up, it's essentially what would happen if Mickey Mouse was directing Marvel characters.

It's so kid friendly that Steven Blum, who is one of (if not) the most veteran Wolverine's voice-actors, seems to have made his voice "less gravelly" to fit with the tone of the show...
Really... They're censoring *voices*.

I just watched 16 minutes of the second episode of this show on youtube.
Here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drotjDbVQhc

Lil' kids will probably love it, so "mission accomplished" for the creators, but anybody who watches TSCC shouldn't be getting excited about this. No matter who's in it.
It's ******* awful.

You know what I mean Deadpool.

Of course it aint designed to be sexy, I am just saying its gonna be cause I think she has a sexy voice. 3 year olds watching it aint gonna give a hoot about her voice, nor do they know who she is.

And **** yeah I am gonna get excited about it, there aint much get excited about these days.

I watched the vid and cracked a smile a few times but..meh.

Why can't they do a cartoon that's geared towards adults?

Why does everything have to be geared towards kids? =/

Well I agree with this, it would be better if it were for grown ups.

Exactly. Do you think any child out there is gonna appreciate the actors working on the show?

Come ooooooooooon. The superheroes are 99% adults. Adults do adult things.

So it'd make sense to make a show geared towards adults.

Because most adults don't want one?

But seriously (at least as far as Marvel goes) this cartoon is exceptional in the "catering to the toddler" department.
That's what I think people didn't realise, and the point I wanted to hammer home. It's far more child-orientated than anything Marvel's ever done with animation.

Compare that to either of these clips, and you'll see what I mean. One's from a seemingly cancelled Spider-Man series and one's from a direct-to-dvd movie, rated 12:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYTXcgzKKhk - Attempted sexual innuendo?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gj4AwtO3-g&feature=related - Blood?! (Wolverine has the same voice actor as in this new show. Notice how light his new voice his?)

Big difference.

They've even done an Iron Man cartoon recently.

IRON MAN IS NOT A CHILD GODDAMNIT.

Yeah, the new cartoon seems so.. tame. They always seem to be appeasing the censors, but..this is borderline toddler level. Come on, Wolverine has 6 adamantium claws. He cuts people the hell up. In this he'd probably slash someone, they go "Ooooowwww" and that's all.

1) Never cared much for Spider-Man, but this is pretty funny stuff.

2) Okay, I'm gonna watch this whole thing. Judging by this clip, it absolutely kills the live action X-Men movies in *every* way. Or the ones I've seen, anyway (#1 & #2).

Well, Iron Man did build his armour as a teen in Marvel's "second biggest" imprint (i.e. the "Ultimate Marvel Universe"), before growing up into the drunken, promiscuous superhero we all know and love.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Iron_Man
So it's probably partially inspired by that...

That said, while I don't like the idea of a teenage Iron Man (it's almost as bad as a teenage 007 - which does exist as a series of books), that series (from what I've seen) is still plenty more mature than the "Super Hero Squad" show.

About Wolverine:
I remember when a member on here (can't remember his/her name) was criticizing Wolverine for USING his claws as a weapon.
What the **** did they thing he was going to do with them?
Professional hedge trimming?
Extreme litter-picking?
Peeling stubborn oranges?
