I missed this series when it originally ran (no surprise because I never catch any shows when they first air). But I am seeing Iron Man on the Jetix channel which I think is a European network. My first comment is the intro, it's really cool and maybe my favorite part. It shows Tony Stark building the Iron Man armor and shows the progression of what the armor first looked like (a tin can) to the 90's version (I have no idea what it looks like now). Also in the intro is a really cool theme song that is very very catchy, its the same words of the Black Sabbath Iron Man song "I-AM-IRON-MAN" sung to like a Whitesnake heavy metal rhythm, its right now my favorite cartoon song on out there (yes I know, I lead a boring life, lol). Nick Fury and Shield are in this series a lot (I have only watched about 5 episodes so far), growing up I like Fury and Shield as they took on AIM. There is a lot of material for Shellhead from the comic book and this looks like a pretty good translation to the TV realm because I have seen some cool Marvel supervillan's here like the Crimson Dynamo and the Mandarin among others. Animation is not bad from what I've seen and people did die in one episode where a nuke missile exploded in a Russian silo so I like that for some realism. Is it perfect? No, but they made it for kids and its still pretty good for me as an adult to watch. I can't wait for it to come out as a movie I pray it's not a total rewrite like they did to the Hulk (I think Marvel learned the errors of their ways though in destroying that movie franchise with a convoluted plot, hey I still buy the radioactive mutant superpower bit so just stay with that, lol). Recommended for Shellhead fans. Hey my favorite Shellhead comic book moment, when Iron Man gets zapped by Thor (who's being controlled by Moondragon) and with the huge energy boost slams Thor through 10 marble columns!
