Well, looks like this was officially a flop. In retrospect, should have seen this one coming. I really enjoyed the show, but you cannot expect a show geared to 40+ year old guys using a 30+ year old story to have mass appeal. Kids were always the market for animation and comics -- especially young boys. Once, creators lost sight of that, everything went to shite and even good products failed.

This show was written for old nerds like me, and I am thankful it exists. But we are a small niche and not big enough to make a show a success on our own/

At some point, you have to dumb things down a little and jangle some keys to get the mass appeal needed in such a crowded marketplace. Just reality I guess.


I know multiple kids that enjoyed this show with their parents. This isn't true.

I don't think it's comparable to compare X-Men 97 to the live action MCU shows either. Animation in general is going to have a smaller audience IMO. Especially if it's not a feature film.

Measuring success for this shouldn't be the same as measuring success for Ms. Marvel or Echo or whatever MCU show.
