So when will Iron Man and Fantastic Four show

[GL2k2]

on ABC Family? Have they announced anything yet?

[JohnStewart-GL]

Hopefully soon. And hopefully the Hulk too.

[GL2k2]

I would think with the sucess of Spider-Man their going to play out the 90's series as much as possible as well as X-Men with the new film and Evolution series doing well. As for Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Hulk, and Silver Surfer, and dare I say Avengers we can only wonder. I think Incredible Hulk is owned by someone else right now, but with the new film they'd be wise to grab it quick.

Also, Daredevil and Hulk have appeared in the Fantastic Four and Iron Man shows respectively. They should play that up as well.

Oh yeah and Black Panther is in FF, and a new movie is in the works with Wesley Snipes.

They were going to show them with Xmen and Spidey Unlimted when the original premeire was to take place, but switched to Xmen and Spidey (FoxKids) at the last minute. Hopefully, with the airing of all 4 Spidey toons, they'll be pushing toward them again soon. I had also heard that ABCFam will be converting a lot of the network to animation come this fall, but I don't know if or what will be on it.

they should do it like this:
X-men at 6:00 /7:00p
Fantastic Four at 6:30/7:30p
Ironman at 7:00/8:00p
Spiderman at 7:30/8:30p
and
Hulk at 8:00/9:00p

Well, if you haven't heard, ABC Family just added the Spider-Man toons and the Incredible Hulk to their weekend roster. This is promising. Still no sign of FF and Iron Man, but at least we know they own pretty much all the Marvel cartoons for one huge block if they wanted to. I wonder if they own the 60's Marvel cartoons as well?

I can't wait for Incredible Hulk, one episode featured the only appearance of Ghost Rider ever in animation. I think.

Ghost Rider had a cameo in X-Men:TAS when Prof. X does a probe of Gambit's mind. It's a brief shot but Rider is there. Predates the Incredible Hulk series by about a year.



So much good stuff coming, I may just have to get a second VCR to keep up.

[GL2k2]

Hmmm, interesting, I don't remember that one.

Hey, any of you thinking what I'm thinking. If they own Incredible Hulk now, then this definitely means there will be a DVD down the line somewhere, probably when the film comes out next June. I'm there.

Ghost Rider made an appearance on The Fantastic Four toon. A year before his Hulk appearance I might add. Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) provided his voice.

[Christopher N. Denner]

I remember the Fantastic Four scene as Well. Ghost Rider shows up, and I believe Johnny Storm says how he thought he was only a legend or something. I know Ghost Rider was supposed to be in the FoxKids Spider-man show, but the powers that be refused to let him on because they didn't want to give UPN free publicity if they lended the series for sunday mornings.

[Joe Wagner]

Actually at one point in time Ghost Rider was also the subject of having his own series with either Fox Kids or UPN. Unfortunately this around the same time Fox was re-organizing and was forced to cancel a lot of shows (Fox didn't help here) including Avengers (which had been picked up for a second season), Silver Surfer (one of my personal faves), the in pre-production Captain America and the work in progress Daredevil and Ghost Rider toons.

BTW - the schedule has just been updated and the Hulk will be making his triumpant return on July 6! Score!!

....now if we could only get them to air FF and IM......

The Fantastic Four airs on Cartoon Network.

Not the 90's version. The 60's version did, but wasn't it moved to Boomerang?

[Joe Wagner]

Boomerang airs the 60's toon on occasion - although I don't get Boomerang so I don't often get to see this series.

-Joe!

[GL2k2]

Yeah, CN airs the 60's version at 5 am during Boomeraction on Sunday mornings. We're referring to the syndicated 90's version that was coupled with Iron Man and introduced by Stan Lee.

I want them to bring back the silver surfer cartoon, so that I can finaly see the unaired episode guest staring adam warlock.

Hey am I the only one who thinks that disney might just end up buying marvel enterprises, since they already own the rights to the marvel cartoons made by saban and are already have the rights to air some of their other cartoons.

[GL2k2]

It would be smart, that would put them in direct competition with Warner Bros. who owns their rival Looney Tunes characters, and their DC comics characters. Imagine seeing Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse, Hulk, Donald Duck, and the X-Men in the Disney Stores across the way from the Warner Bros. Stores with their already established Superman, Bugs Bunny, Batman, Daffy Duck, and Justice League. It only makes sense. But stupid is as stupid does.

Also, WB has Burger King locked down with Warner Bros., Marvel gets would get more money if they were picked up by Disney who already is joined with McDonald's.

[Joe Wagner]

The Silver Surfer episode was in fact aired - just on a Friday night with little advertising. As for Disney buying Marvel - I would never want to see this happen. The freedom Marvel currently has would be lost and the talent would be strip mined - probably being yanked for projects with the Mouse while some of my favorite characters are toned down in violence and used to sell endless Disney sequels.

Yes, I did see the Adam Warlock episode too. That was one of the few episodes I did catch. I thought he was kinda big in size like Superman, but oh well.

Also, ya know I have to agree with you JJ, Disney is not WB they do things like that. Maybe it is a good idea to leave them independent.
