Iron Man and Wolverine Are Heroes (Not in the Good Way)
Like, in “the TV show called Heroes” way. Remember how I told you that, due to some kind of gas leak at Marvel somewhere, it had been decided that Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia of Heroes/Petrelli brothers fame had respectively been cast as Iron Man and Wolverine in their Marvel anime series? Well, here’s a clip of the Iron Man anime which features both of them, and good lord. Pasdar is an okay Tony Stark, admittedly, but Milo Ventimiglia is possibly the worst Wolverine voice I’ve ever heard in my entire life. And yes, I’m including the Australian dude from the 1989 X-Men cartoon. (Via Comics Alliance)
