Please Watch This New Avengers Cartoon Trailer… on Mute
Errgh. So the new Avengers cartoon still looks like a cartoon you’d see on Disney XD; I’m cool with that. It still stars Hulk, Iron Man and Cap kicking ass together, and the whole Who’s Who in the Marvel Universe, Supervillains section. That’s all I need, although since I am an Avengers fan, your mileage may vary. BUT THAT THEME SONG. GAH. I CAN’T FUCKING HANDLE IT. I can’t imagine any of the Avengers cartoon’s intended target audience, no matter how young and/or lame, thinking this theme song is anything other than one of Loki’s cruel tricks. Or maybe something Thanos pulled for his girlfriend Death. Because every time I hear this shit, I want to kill myself and others. (Via Geeks of Doom)
