The Avengers Cartoon Reassembles on April 1st
 |
?Let me honest: The news story that’s going around is that the long-awaited Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon is finally debuting on Disney XD on April 1st. It will be part of a Marvel-themed programming block along with season two of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, which is the part that’s got me excited. I love the bejeezus out Avengers, which is so good that even if the live-action Avengers movie sucks, I won’t kill myself in anguish because I know I’ll have the cartoon.

?However, there is one thing that has me excited for Ultimate Spider-Man — well two things (which I probably knew but forgot): 1) Clark Gregg will be voicing Agent Coulson, which means FUCKING AGENT COULSON IS IN THE ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN CARTOON. 2) J.K. Simmons will be voicing J. Jonah Jameson too, which instantly makes Ultimate Spider-Man a better Spider-Man franchise than the new movie. J.K. Simmons as JJJ = WIN. PERIOD. I can’t wait, people. I cannot wait. (Via Spinoff)
