Legends of Fandom | Captain America The Animated Series

[@vincentfranklin17]

Cap certainly deserves his own series!

[@Dimensioneer88]

3:18 Soooooooooo unless you're a plane or a bomb or some ice or a brainwashed buddy or a Spider-Man, then you don't necessarily have to yieeeeeeeeeeld!

[@DarthJoshReturns]

Here are a few topics you can do: -Space Usagi: The Animated Series. -The Various Unmade Batman Films In Between 'Batman & Robin' and 'Batman Begins.' -Daredevil: The Animated Series. -Mega Man X: The Animated Series. -The two unmade TMNT cartoons before the 2003 series. -The "Gatchaman" movie by Imagi Studios. -Gotham High. -A 'Power Rangers'-esque follow up to 'Batman Beyond.' All I really know about that one is that Bruce Timm thought it was a stupid idea while Kevin Smith thought it was absurdly awesome.

[@TheRealVicSage]

I usually pride myself on knowing a lot of these deep cuts but you got me beat man. Did not know this was ever in production.

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

It would've started David Hayter the voice of Solid Snake himself and anyone whose seen a single episode of X-Men or Spider-Man The Animated Series that had Captain America in it knows that it couldn't be more perfect casting.

[@wastelander9977]

If they ever make a Captain America animated series, they better get the people who made Earth's Mightiest Heroes to do it. Would they? Probably not, cause they're focused on those really bad shows on now. But a man can dream.

[@unseenphantomamvsytp2186]

I would rather have EMH continued then see cap get his own show to be honest. I doubt anything can top that version.

[@wastelander9977]

The Invisible Mare Fair enough. I'm just saying of for some reason they vehemently didn't want to bring back EMH.

[@skybite]

They would probably rehash the Captain America Trilogy movies like the rest to current Marvel cartoons now

[@penny1545]

To be fair the solo episode of Captain America opened the door for narrating countless of stories.

[@autobotproductions1244]

@@unseenphantomamvsytp2186 I mean, the back half of season 2 was pretty Cap focused anyway

[@albion65]

You want something crazy to learn about, try doing an episode on the unmade live action Captain America tv series that would have been made in Japan! Yes, Japan! It was going to be a follow up to the live action Spider-Man series.

[@bionicleanime]

9:55 this gives me so much closure! I always wondered why Spider-Man Unlimited was canned!

[@NivMizzetFiremind]

David is an awesome superhero actor. He also played the Guyver and even though it was 90s cheese he really made the part his own.

[@knight2976able]

I know it 5 years later but yes he played the guyver in the sequel guyver 2 dark hero

[@carnessabennett6768]

i love this guy

[@Remythechef]

To be fair, Hyrda was the weapons supplier for the nazis.

[@nostalgicarchives9463]

Exactly!

[@Citrakite]

HYDRA was formed in the comics after WWII in Asia by escaped German War criminal and Red Skull ally, Baron Von Strucker. This weapon supplier thing was made up for the first CA Movie so as to skirt the Nazi issue.

[@noebryce3386]

Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf recently =)

[@ariesnathaniel2245]

@Noe Bryce Yea, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

[@harlemmaddux9564]

@Noe Bryce Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

[@codybratsch]

To me David Hayter is and always will be... the Guyver. Also, almost everything I'm hearing about this Cap. America show sounds super awesome!!! Now I'm really sad we didn't get it... :'( ... Oh, well!!! Who's for Chinese!?!

[@issacflores2010]

1:29 that same guy with no powers ended up defeating, a huge Russian with a hammer, twenty thugs, a titan enhanced goon, and the Joker all at the same time.

[@orastellathefirst]

Yes, give us more of this series.

[@Sampin19]

keep it up erod! your doing a great job!!

[@meatwoodflacmedia]

I'd love to see a Legends of Fandom about Unmade Doctor Who Stories/ Films like Shada, Dr Who Meets Scratchman, The Dark Dimension, and others.

[@bhavyapopat5871]

Please Make a video on Daredevil Cancelled Animated Series (1999)!

[@JurassicRod]

I wish this had been made! I'd have loved to see a Captain America cartoon in the 90s Marvel Animated Universe.

[@JurassicRod]

I was always gutted that Hulk wasn't in the Secret Wars story arc.

[@grkpektis]

Please do a video on the third Schumacher Batman movie, I hate Schumacher but he had some great ideas for the movie like bringing back Jack Nicholson as the Joker (Jack even agreed to it)

[@nathanblevins9870]

The iron man show was my favorite. It even had a cameo of Stan lee in the beginning.

[@loganmurphy2195]

this was good, please do more

[@orly2me]

That's why Spider-Man Unlimited was canceled?!! I always wondered why such a cool show ended without an ending

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

"The Marvel Super Heroes" theme song is the same tune as "The Army's not the Army anymore" from Disney's "Donald gets Drafted".

[@VerdantRange]

I'd love it if you maybe talked about some things like the once planned Doctor Who movie, The Dark Dimension, or maybe George Lucas' original idea for a sequel to Star Wars, Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

[@darkservantofheaven]

Fun fact: Marvel was had produced GI JOE comics from 1984-1994 (along with Transformers comics) Makes me wonder why there were no crossovers

[@Mecha82]

They also had crossover back in 90's were Cobra rebuild Megatron into his G2 form and GI Joe had to get help from Autobots.

[@darkservantofheaven]

my bad, I meant makes me wonder why there were no crossovers between GI Joe and Captain America. Though there was a Transformers/New Avengers crossover. Now if IDW can make a crossover of Transformers and the TMNT....or have a single issue where the GI Joe ninias duel with the TMNT,

[@RhyperiorRanger]

Captain America wielding adamantium claws and teamed up with Wolverine? Why isn’t this a regular thing?!

[@slashandbones13]

To be fair, he is at the bottom of the superhuman scale and batman is peak human so they are pretty close and he had the best martial arts teachers in the world

[@vamphunterdlover]

There was another superhero that almost got his own animated series in the 90s but Batman beat him to the punch and also nearly got an ORSON WELLS made film. I am talking about the real dark knight, the man who bob Kane based Batman off of, the one who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men, THE SHADOW.

[@shapur8187]

need more of this

[@texaswerewolf]

I remember hearing there was supposed to be an aliens animated series back in the day.

[@tokendave80]

Please do more btw I wish this came out back then it would've been awesome!!!!!!

[@katherinealvarez9216]

This was fun. There was going to be a Black Widow series before they canned it for some reason, can you talk about that?

[@unseenphantomamvsytp2186]

I would rather have EMH continued then see cap get his own show to be honest. I doubt anything can top that version.

[@DrEllert]

Really liked this one, ERod. I saw you mentioned there the silver surfer - one of my favorited cartoons. Why did they cut the series all together?! The episode does not tie or end, and is even called "The End of Eternity, Part 1" and there's no part two :(

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

Any plans to look into the Joss Whedon version of Wonder Woman?

[@TSLuckett]

I've read that script. I can't put into words how glad I am that film was never made

[@bradentwidwell7955]

Honestly kinda curious how you'd do Godzilla the animatted series

[@billymccrary2246]

Any plans to look into Ultimate DC?

[@thefandomconnoisseur8518]

ERod Blockbuster Buster great video erod. love your work gotta throw my nerd card though... u know batman can beat cap any day of the week rite? or do you not watch death battle?

[@kabesilvermaine4768]

I like these you should do the Daredevil cartoon next. I remember Marvel wanted to do one of those but the networks put all these restrictions and new junk like giving Daredevil a side kick dog called dare dog.

[@Maniac536]

Kabe Silvermaine I heard that it was a Marvel business decision to cancel the project as they were trying to do some financial housekeeping at the time. It wasn't canceled due to the project's merit

[@weisenbergphoto]

After seeing him in X-Men 97, I believe Marvel should take another stab at animated Captain America series set in that universe.

[@leonardojuan92]

1:18-1:34 Yeah tell that ScewAttack. XD

[@gamegeek812]

Did you get my email about Spider-Man 4?

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

1:21 yeah no Captain America doesn't have super strength. It's been stated multiple times Captain America's abilities are the peak of what a human is capable of achieving. While that makes him slightly stronger than Batman it's hardly anything he hasn't handled. Hell he's kicked Bane's ass repeatedly and he's essentially no different from Captain America, except maybe smarter and actually does have Super Strength. Also Batman has spent well over a decade mastering over 100 martial arts styles, while Captain America's main combat experience is at best, atleast before he became an Avenger to maybe 1 to 2 years since he didn't see the end of World War II. Plus Batman studied an insane number of other skills, Forensic science, Battlefield Tactics, Escape Artistry, Disguise. Also Batman simply has more drive than Captain America, Batman has pushed himself above and beyond what is needed, inspite of having no super human abilities and dedicated his entire life to this pursuit. Captain America does it because of his strong patriotism, which is a strong drive but doesn't match Batman's.

[@allanolley4874]

Captain America does not have super strength in the comics, note that Captain America has claimed to be proficient in all martial arts in the comics several times (somehow he learned it all during WWII), and he fights master martial artists (like Iron Fist) to a standstill on occasion. So I don't think we should imagine some huge gap in Batman and Cap's abilities in a straight fight, they are both supposed to be among the best human hand-to-hand combatants on Earth. The other thing is that Batman barely won the fight in question and google suggests there are other crossovers where they stalemate. I think them being about evenly matched makes a lot of sense given that both characters are supposed to be basically the peak of human ability in terms of combat. I don't see why it has to be that one or the other is just sure to win...

[@stefanopirrello6057]

More "Legends of Fandom" please..

[@FNGLHR]

You should really look into the 1994 American Godzilla film. The story for that film is both awesome and tragic.

[@jasonshadow8052]

Can you PLZ DO an honest review of the aforementioned Spidey and X-Men AS/

[@angusng816]

Can you please do a Legends Of Fandom on the original script of Transformers 2?

[@elineman4523]

Speaking of Superheros, are you going to do a real thoughts on Wonder Women 2017

[@DarthJoshReturns]

No. He stopped giving the DCEU a chance after getting three strikes.

[@sebastianemond5313]

Just an interesting fan suggestion; also, no offense to Solid Snake's actor, but if they had made an animated series for Captain America, my pick for Steve Rogers would've been Kevin Sorbo, given his popularity built from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys in the 90s. Also, Sorbo has played a similar character as Steve Rogers with Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda of a soldier of war who's lost in time and is awoken in modern times to continue his duty as a hero of the people.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

I seriously want to know what happened to the top 10 Flash video.

[@LuftmanPlay]

Could you review the spiderman unlimited show?

[@MegaMr46]

Sam Raini's Spider-Man 4 because Remember the Spider-Man Villain Casting couch where you casted Bruce Campbell as Mysterio? He would've been casted if Spider Man 4 hadn't been scraped.

[@DarthJoshReturns]

From what I've heard, they were planning Ben Kingsley as the Vulture and Anne Hathaway as Black Cat.

[@kyletowers9662]

that makes Hathaway playing catwoman kinda funny

[@skyevaughn3745]

Blockbuster buster wasn't there any other reason?For example the 1990 captain america live action movie might be a clue too.

[@tykamen5588]

you forgot X-Men evolution he made a brief cameo in of their episode

[@comicbookfangaming9733]

he hates show

[@Ellthom]

The X-Men Evolution show wasn't apart of the Marvel animated universe of the 90's. The Captain America animated show was going to fit in with the X-Men Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man and the Fantastic Four animated shows. X-Men Evolution version of Captain America was not related to the Captain America show that E-Rod was talking about :)

[@joeycampbell3703]

Ty kamen yes thats true I remeber wolverine tells them about it

[@sadlobster1]

Speaking of Cap, one thing has puzzled me for some time. Did the events of Captain America Civil War cause the fandom to hate Cap, by chance? I can already tell your love for Cap still remains, ERod. But what about the other fans in Marvel? If they DID hate him, after that movie. I would say it's pretty unfair and shallow

[@lynngreen7978]

The bankruptcy also lead them to sell the movie rights to a lot of their top sellers to FOX, Sony, and other companies. 20 years later, they still have not fully recovered from that hit. (If you feel the way I do about their print media, they are in worse shape. Fortunately the movies are made for actual audiences that will buy tickets, and not people who want something to complain about.)

[@goodtimeslp2989]

dude come on. david hayder was in the guyver 2. the best movie ever.

[@ryandowney9383]

Please please PLEASE do a Legends of Fandom on the Guillermo Del Toro AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS movie!

[@connoravila]

Also David Hayter also directed my all tine favorite movie Wolves

[@SJ_RANKS]

You got it wrong 3:59: this is S4E2 The Cat 4:19: and this is season 5

[@Safersephiroth777]

I prefer your old room as a set to tell the truth.

[@Kazuma_DoubleIce]

I would like to know your thought on avengers united they stand and spider man unlimited, they get allot of hate and I don't get why I really like the shows and would like to know your thought about them.

[@TheMarvelousM]

Please talk about "Tim Burton's Superman Lives"!

[@michaelnally2841]

We also haven’t had a series for Thor yet

[@jamcalx]

You forgot that David Also played Guyver in the second and FAR SUPERIOR Guyver: dark hero film.

[@knightweb85]

yes please. make more.

[@nazishhussain2712]

Good vide

[@twilightzoneseinfeld]

Actually, it kinda varies on the writer whether Captain America truly has "superhuman Physical attributes" or not. It's pretty nebulous in many cases. Like how Marvel Wiki's and Databooks list him as being "peak human" among other things. Though Cap did get respect in the JLA/Avengers crossover later on (the one with Krona).

[@twilightzoneseinfeld]

But I do understand the point you got across anyway.

[@seandrew3355]

How about the cancelled second season of Spider-Man Unlimited. Might be worth discussing! 🤔😉

[@Frankie1622]

There was no Daredevil in that Secret Wars story line... Aww

[@xfreak385231]

Do a video on Buffy the animated series.

[@Dimensioneer88]

He could have also teamed up with Namor, the original Human Torch, and the original Black Panther.

[@pushon10]

Awesome

[@DCUOMultiverse]

How about a video about "Superman Lives"?? ;) ;) Just kidding.... John Shnepps already covered that one. ;) How about the X-men series from the 80s?? They made a pilot called "Pryde of the X-Men". It even was featured in Marvel Age.... and the made a Graphic Novel type of comic using freeze frames from the actual pilot. It was an AWESOME pilot..... which somehow did not make it as a series. :(

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

More.

[@DCUOMultiverse]

Agreed. ;)

[@jasonhelquist7743]

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

[@markperl3869]

Actually, the fight with Captain America and Batman was decided through voting. So Cap never had a chance.

[@bsabruzzo]

Hey now. That Nick Fury film is where I first learned of SHIELD and fell in love with Fury and his organization. I still wish Hasselhof would make a guest appearance on Agents of SHIELD as the real Nick Fury from WWII so I can get the image of that pretender playing Marcus Johnson (ie Nick Fury Jr) out of my mind. Love Samuel L Jackson and his portrayal of Junior, but he's not Nick Fury.

[@gamegeek812]

I believe there was an unmade Captain Marvel movie in the early to mid 2000's.

[@cazar4]

Aliens the animated series. Yeah that almost happened in the 90's

[@lynngreen7978]

GI Joe with superheroes? COBRA *was* HYDRA. The Joe's leader was supposed to be Nick Fury Jr., and they were a SHIELD combat unit (per the origins of GI JOE:Real American Hero).

[@mikeperry7335]

its too bad they never made this coulve been dope

[@MC-kg5gz]

The Nazi avoidance also has to do with German law. The swastika is against the law, which is why gargoyles couldn't put it onscreen when they did a ww2 episode either.

[@chrisbrasel9049]

do a video on the never made legend of Zelda film or the Roger rabbit sequel.

[@A113-p9e]

How about the unmade Jurassic Park: the Animted Series?

[@TevyaSmolka]

Huh interesting

[@Falxifer95]

Please talk about George Miller's unmade Justice League film; Justice League Mortal!

[@thexdatabase]

not even a pilot even Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagle got one

[@NebLleb]

7:15 - 7:40 DAMN. Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. really is _that_ bad, isn't it?

[@asakurawhyte4320]

ANOTHER!

[@timephire]

I think i mite be crazy but i could swear that i seen promos for a cap america cartoon to air on usa network if not a few episodes airing. strange!

[@ciscovaiese7535]

blockbuster buster you know their is an early pilot of power rangers that was originaly going to use footage from choudenshi bioman

[@Redrally]

I suspect the network didn't want any Nazi symbolism purely to prevent obstacles to airing the series in Germany. Nazi symbols, gestures, memorabilia and even references to the name are banned in Germany (I know there have been discretionary allowances, such as in documentaries and historical pictures but those media are aimed mostly at adults, not children).

[@andyrandall9289]

Actually Batman cheated, he used a remote controlled batarang & knocked him out during the contest. It was a phone in contest, the most phone calls won.

[@Actionfan19]

Here's an unmade show just up your ally. Their was supposed to be a Thor animated series a few years ago, yet nothing came about it. Most likely reason is all those despised marvel animated universe shows that started with Ultimate Spider-Man.

[@tykamen5588]

blockbuster buster is that true there was a Nick Fury movie I didn't know that

[@davissmedley5937]

Spider-Man 4?

[@farmerproductions9869]

Erod I guess you should know bats beat cap in the death battle

[@Ahturos]

I really hope Marvel and Disney just takes a break for a moment and look at there animated shows and think really hard if they really want to force in the references to the movies in them or not. I was really happy when Disney bought Marvel becuse to me that ment the 90´s era could be back in full force. Who whould´t love great animated 2D or 3D with our great heroe´s. They could do for younger and older kids. Sadly it seems like if the channel is called Disney it has to appeal to 7 years old and not older. They even stopped showing the 90´s show they had. For a couple of years ago Disney channel did show re-runs of Spiderman, X-Men and even Fantastic Four. But I guess they thought those were to dark and mature for kids. Just get another animated channel for more teen oriented stuff. I want Fox Kids and Jetix back!

[@maniamixgamer7281]

Couldent they use nauthcies without useing the symbol
