I don't think he's "bad" in the classical sense of the word. He is a heavy-handed ruler. When Korra mentions the word invasion he actually looks very offended at the notion. And honestly, Korra's family seems to be full of very stubborn and headstrong individuals...especially on the Dad's side.

As for Varrick, I don't think an American cartoon show would ever show a Capitalist in a bad light. But if LoK does then wow, its breaking quite a lot of new ground.

So I've been watching Avengers Assemble on and off and just recently caught the Dracula Episode. AA isn't a terrible series but compared to Earth's Mightiest Heroes there's just something….missing and the way I look is…it's the equivalent of a kid playing with his toys making up a bunch of nonsensical "Stories" as he goes along.

One thing that AA is missing is…there just isn't a sense of impending danger like EMH had and the villains aren't really that threatening. Which brings me to another point and I know I've said it before at least once: Red Skull has done nothing that earns him the seat of being the main villain for the season…the number one reason why the Avengers had to come back. Sure he stole Iron Man's armour and left him for dead but it's a feat that becomes null and void within five seconds of the 2nd episode and I don't really think he's done much of anything since those two episodes.

It's not a terrible show like I said better then United they Stand or Ultimate Spiderman but AA is pretty much cashing in on the popularity of the Avengers movie which is a shame because it could've been so much more...

Catching up with Xiaolin Chronicles. I really liked the original series but this new one has lost a lot of the heart and charm that first show had.

Between Ping Pong and the Honey Badger, i'm about ready to call Chronicles a disappointment.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I thought it was because I was just seeing the original series though rose-colored glasses.. but... Chronicles isn't good.

Oh yeah, Chronicles is a thing. Guess I should get caught up just to form my own opinion... But from the three I saw, Ping Pong was really rubbing me the wrong way.

Honey Badger.
Seriously? They put the Honey....

Well, that just ruined it forever. I don't even care if it's just a character's name, the Honey Badger thing is stale.

Oh yeah…I totally forgot about Chronichles…and how dumb the idea of having CGI showdowns was...
