Ah. Sounds as those it’s one of those well-meaning projects where the creators wind up talking down to the target audience instead of entertaining them.

I wanted to like Super Hero Squad a lot more than I did. Some of the bits made me laugh – and I enjoy the running gag in the credits where the Infinity shard or whatever that Hulk picks up near the end turns him into a different version of himself every week – but mostly it was just too heavy on the fart jokes, and the stuff that wasn’t related to bodily noises/smells just tried too hard.

The thing that was really telling, though, was that my 4 year old lost interest after just two episodes, but he looks forward to Batman: Brave and the Bold just about every week.

I know they were trying to appeal to kids with the character designs. But they don’t come across as kids… more like, umm, “little people.” It’s just weird.

Now, had they gotten someone like James Kochalka to do the designs…

It’s been pretty cheesy so far from what I’ve watched. Still, it may be worth watching just for the sake of seeing the Defenders on screen in some form.
