The worst was when the Punisher shows up and he gets stuck with non-Lethal ordinance that would make Batman snicker. That said, the show did have some real epic bits and they tried to make it the series that tied the 90s Marvel animation together( X-Men, Fantastic Four and the Hulk I think).

These days...I dunno. Now don't get me wrong, I like light-hearted shows like Teen Titans Go but I think something a little more epic would show kids more about the difference between right and wrong and consequences.

I miss the 90s....Animation wise anyway.

The one where censorship wouldn't allow him to throw punches so all he did through the whole show was swing on a web and kick people? Punisher and his fucking 'mercy bullets' hahahaha! Yeah I remember it, loved it as a kid but the animation has not aged well at all, so much QUALITY.

I think the bigger problem now is that censorship is so tight, even shows that do try and do something more '90s' like say Young Justice or Ben 10 Alien Force or Generator Rex all end up falling flat most of the time because they are so limited in anything they do.

I agree kids shouldn't be exposed to like extreme violence, or sex, or swearing, or drug use or whatever but it's worrying when there is more violence and gore in the playground than there is in the cartoons and really the best kids shows are the ones with adult themes, educationally, as the kids can actually learn and think about things rather than just learning how to do a new fart joke.
