Fantastic Four (1994) Review

Hey, yo, this is Gear. And when I'm not helping

out my pal Static, I have my backpack always

playing Geekcast Radio Network. Hello and welcome

to episode 34 of Tooncast Beyond, brought to

you by the GeekCaster Radio Network and Audible

.com. I'm your host, TFJ and Mike, and joining

me is JT from Saskatoon. Hello. How are you doing?

I'm okay. Are you sure? I think so. I'm going

crazy, but that's nothing new. We all go a little

crazy sometimes. Yeah. Mainly when watching a

certain... Fantastic Four cartoon that shall

not be named World's Greatest Heroes. Today we

are jumping back into the Lorian for one final

time with our heading set for 1994 and Fantastic

Four. To set the stage for this one, Fantastic

Four also known as Fantastic Four the animated

series We all know how certain people hate that

term. Is the third animated television series

based on Marvel's complex series of the same

name. Airing began on September 24th, 1994 until

ending on February 24th, 1996. The series ran

for two seasons with 13 episodes per season making

26 episodes in total. I don't know. I remember

watching this show but it was like... I remember

the voice cast more than I remember the actual

stories. I'll tell you one thing that I remember.

Worst theme song ever. First season only because

the second season did like this big band kind

of very bombastic sound, which, you know, worked

very well, I thought. But, you know, that on

and out of space. Oh, God, I wanted to claw my

ears off my head. And just like the thing just

loves to fight we know that You know Johnny is

the human torchable duh No, it's just I know

some of my friends Both here in Saskatoon and

online don't like the Avengers theme song. I

love that theme song God However, you might feel

about it. I love it. You know, I'm sorry. Oh,

okay Here's what I'll say and you're you're talking

about Earth's Mightiest Heroes, right? Yes, not

not United they stand that should go die in a

ditch Yeah, thank God. We never covered that

on this season was very wise choice in your part.

Yes What I will say about Earth's Mightiest Heroes

theme song as I said in episode 32 I prefer the

outro to Avengers where there's no fucking lyrics.

I like I like the instrumental of it I like I

like the actual music of it, but the lyrics I'm

sorry they fucking suck I'll Disagree with you.

I like the lyrics so It's kind of like a Linkin

Park song past meteor. Oh, no the singer i swear

to god better than lincoln park oh hell no are

you kidding me no no the world is about to break

or um oh god what is it what the hell is the

actual name of the song it's um god i forget

what the we mentioned it in the avengers episode

anyway we're getting off on a tangent here um

what do you remember about watching uh... fantastic

for in in the nineties uh... well i'd did see

it somewhat sporadically his yes i saw it uh...

this series uh... whenever i travel before i

moved to saskatoon from you know where from my

where i grew up on the farm uh... so he's been

sealed to see it when he came to his family saskatoon

at saturday's because they had cable and a few

times in the early nineties when the full family

would truck to my not north dakota for alliance

convention and my dad was part of that group

uh so you know again cable he got the watch all

sorts of awesome american television would start

begging my dad to get a satellite dish and eventually

he did so it paid off but i dug the series like

it was airing you know uh same time as the iron

man series uh and like ff has been you know i

like a lot of different comic books and ff has

always It's kind of been up there in favorite

Marvel slash favorite comic book teams So yeah,

and this was the first FF series I found it was

like year a couple years later I found like the

60s Hannah Barbera series and then I heard about

the 70s version but I've never seen the 70s version

of Fantastic Four and I really dug this series

because basically when I started watching it

it was in the second season already Right and

eventually I found the first season there's a

couple episodes here and there but most of the

time like I said I want to claw my ears off because

of that theme song But it was overall this is

kind of like, you know The second season of Iron

Man was so much better than the first the same

thing with the FF here and And I really did dig

this series not not as much as I date I dug,

you know world's greatest heroes aside from the

douche But yeah, this is a good series. I mean

especially For probably the most one of the more

recent that people would remember I mean by the

time this came out people either didn't remember

just outright ignored the previous stuff Yeah,

oh Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean this series I would

say the first season is better That's the funny

thing outside of X -Men Season 5, the other,

because I don't count, I like all five seasons

of Spider -Man, the animated series, I don't

care what anyone says, I like them, I like the

stories it tells, but outside of that and outside

of X -Men Season 5, every other Marvel cartoon

in the 90s, well, and you really can't count,

spidey unlimited since it only had one season

every other cartoon in the 90s for marvel it's

like either season one is good or season two

is good or what it's like either or it's like

hey let's have a shitty season and then let's

have a really good season you know and vice versa

so i don't know it's so weird um but again this

was actually my introduction to the fantastic

four as a kid, even though I only caught episodes

here and there, the episodes I did catch were

ones that focused around Ben and Johnny arguing

and fighting with each other. I mean, essentially

Ben and Johnny are one of the first superhero

cartoon comic book bromances before bromance

really became a term. I mean, they just are.

And then when the movies came out, and Chris

Evans and Michael Chiklis played the two, you

know, Chris Evans played Johnny Storm, Michael

Chiklis played Ben Graham. Just comparing this

cartoon series to those Marvel movies or Fox

or whoever the hell owns Fantastic Four now,

I forget, I think it's Fox, I don't know. Loved

what they did and how they transitioned and I

just I don't know. I just absolutely loved this

series No, I can agree to that. It doesn't stack

up very well against the movies But as a representation

of the comic books, right? Right. It is a very

is very well done and that was Marvel's thing

back then in the 90s was hey We want people to

read our comics. Let's make cartoons based on

our comic stories so people will ghost like again

referencing x -men phoenix and dark phoenix after

rewatching those those sodas made me want to

go back and read the comics that they're based

off of same thing with the fantastic four same

thing with spider -man not so much hope because

the hulk series sucks but uh... but you know

it's just one of those things where It made you

admit this is how in the 90s. This is how I got

into comics was watching these Marvel cartoon

series regardless of If the animations bad regardless

the stories are bad regardless if they make no

sense to me now as As a 14 year old this made

me want to go out and buy fantastic for comics.

It just did No, I I can get that I mean, you

know just to speak of the spite of the spidey

thing There wasn't a lot of stories in that series

taken from the comic books, I mean, the origins

of some of the characters more or less, like

the scorpion, the Morbius was almost completely

different, Morbius the living vampire was almost

completely different from how he got it in the

comic books. Right, but I mean stuff like, stuff

like the secret mausoleum and stuff like secret

war and the I really really really hate clones.

Oh, I love the clones. I'm sorry, Mike, as a

lifelong Spider -Man comic book fan, uh... I

love that because it's not... No, you can love

it. I don't. Okay, right, but the reason why...

I'm trying to think. Secret War and the clone

episodes are different, right? Secret War was

the team -up. And then they're followed by the

clone ones. It was basically, that was the series

finale. Right. Oh, okay, right. The reason why

I love those two episodes is because I got to

learn about different incarnations of Spider

-Man. Because by that time I had only known classic

Spidey. I don't know, 616 universe, whatever.

I don't know the fucking comic universes. All

I'm saying is the reason why I liked Those those

episodes was because I got to see so many different

spider -man from so many different eras. Well,

yes. Oh, I That that was one of the cool things

about I mean it was more so a chance to I Mean

because of the I know how the comic stories like

the the whole iron Spidey armor that was really

just like a one -off from the issue and then

all spider carnage which was lifted from the

comic books of the time when Spider -Man's clone,

they had this whole thing where they thought

Ben Reilly, who was the original Spider -Man

clone from the 70s, it was said that he was really

Spider -Man, and the Peter Parker that we've

known for like the last however many years was

the clone, stuff like that. I mean, I like that

design and all that, but yeah, just... the whole

clone for me the clone saga story in the comics

has left a huge bitter taste in my mouth okay

in the comics i can see that but going in but

coming from someone that that is at that point

especially in the nineties that never read the

comics and that series got me into the comics

the clone saga in the cartoon series wasn't as

bad as maybe what it is in the comics at least

getting back to fantastic four Yeah. Spider -Man

Tangent. Uh, getting back to Fantastic Four,

uh, getting into the voice cast, you had Bo Weaver

as Mr. Fantastic, Laurie Allen as Invisible Woman,

Quentin Flynn as Human Torch, Chuck McCann as

The Thing, Brian Austin Green as Johnny Storm

in Season One, uh, Quentin Flynn played Human

Torch in Season Two. Oh, boy. I ha - That's one

thing I have always hated. Is they'll start out

with a voice actor or they'll start out with

an actor that does a voice and and then they

change it and they I hate that in what like like

if you're gonna do if you're gonna use Bryan

Austin green for the full series and Then the

next like world's greatest heroes was the next

one to use a different voice actor. That's fine

But to change it I hate all the voice changes

in one singular series that goes for anything

I just I don't like when they do that because

it's so confusing it's like It's like cartoons

are turned into soap operas Johnny Storm today

will be played by blah blah blah Yeah, no like

that I can get it Yeah. John Vernon played the

first voice of Doctor Doom. Neil Ross played

the second voice. He also played puppet master

Warlord Krang. Hey, wait a second. What the hell's

a brain doing in this show? Super Skrull for

season one. Simon Templeton played Doctor Doom's

third voice. And Pauline Arthur Lomas played

Alicia Masters. For the guest cast, we have Edward

Albert, Greg Berger, Mary Kay Bergman, Jane Carr.

rocky carol dick clark as himself uh very sad

seeing that name just now anyway yeah uh jim

cummings was it keith david uh michael dawn oh

my god wow he got wharf in here holy crap ron

feinberg ron friedman uh brad garrett as hydro

man oh my god george gee Dan Gilvizan as Warlord

Morrett. Benny Grant, Richard Greco again as

Ghost Rider. Mark Hamill as the Kree Sentry.

He also plays Maximus the Mad and Triton's second

voice. Jess Harnell as Impossible Man, Super

Skrull Season 2. Jimmy Horton, Psycho Man. Chris

Howerton, Claw. Kathy Ireland as Crystal. Now

who the hell is Crystal? She was one of the Inhumans.

Just look up the Marvel comics then he was on

wiki. Yeah, I clicked on her name and it pulled

up the wiki article and she's pretty hot. So

yeah, Cathy Ireland's hot this time around. Tony

J as Galactus in Terrax in season one. Wow. I

can see Tony J pulling off Galactus. That's...

Kinda weird. Megabyte and Galactus in the same

sentence. Okay. Well, you did Galactus in the

Silver Surfer series as well, I believe. Oh,

cool. You have Clyde Kusatsu as Annihilus, K

.E. Couture as Ego the Living Planet, and then

you have Mr. Stan Lee as himself and his wife,

I believe it's his wife, Joan Lee, as Mrs. Lavina

Forbes. Kerrigan man as the seeker Wait, is that

gold are what the hell is gold are doing in this

series? picking up a paycheck Probably No, it's

no, it's not the same. Let me see. I'm just looking

here. I'm trying to see if it's Yeah, it is.

Wow. It is gold are huh weird Helen Oppenheimer

as Firelord, Gary Owens as himself, oh my god,

Ron Perlman as Bruce Banner, Riff Reagan as Melinda,

John Rhys Davies as Thor, Robert Ridgely as Skrull

Emperor, Robin Sacks as Silver Surfer Season

1, Bill Smitrovich as Daredevil, Gina Tuttle

as female TV reporter, and James Warwick as Namor.

Um, overall I think this - pretty stellar voice

cast oh yeah no i mean uh outside of the chill

like it's a stellar voice cast but i don't like

that they change had the change voices um be

you know for certain characters that was kind

of silly to me yeah no i get that uh you know

the whole like three different dr dooms although

simon templeman's probably my favorite because

he got more of that uh you know, kind of that

upper crust kind of regal sound in his voice,

more so than John Vernon or Neil Ross did. I

mean, again, the Dean from Animal House working

for Marvel. I think probably when you look at

the voice cast, I mean, you got, you know, Michael

Dorn, War from Star Trek as Gorgon, member of

the Inhumans, and then Rocky Carroll, who plays

Director Vance on NCIS right now. Oh, yeah. Holy

shit. That's because when you're reading off

the name, it's like, isn't that the dude? And

I was like, click, click. It's like, yeah, that's

Director Vance, yeah, from NCIS. So I thought

that was actually pretty cool. Yeah, Dick Clark,

he was in the very first episode. of this because

he was on like some telethon interview talk show

thing and because they did the obligatory origin

episode with the you know them talking about

how they went into space and they got their powers

and the fact that they were renting like the

top 10 floors of the Baxter building before they

bought it yeah and that's where Stanley's wife

Miss Forbes I believe was their landlady Who

had like this bitchy little dog, and she's like

I don't like all the noises coming from behind

your door You know and just constantly trying

to find a way to get them out Right was that

kind of forced humor thing that happened to a

lot of animated series in the 90s But I think

yeah the biggest names in here like you said

you got Jess Harnell's impossible man, which

is like wow that was perfect Because impossible

man is basically in Marvel comics. He is the

animaniacs. He's this almost irrepressible Hyperkinetic

alien from another planet that has like basically

he is the mr. Mixius Pitalik. Oh my god to the

Fantastic Four Superman like he can Transform

into anything. He makes the laws of physics his

bitch So yeah And but I think my favorite nail

key got again you got Richard Rico back as Ghost

Rider in the One of the Galactus episodes you

got Mark Hamill in here, you know putting in

his time, which is awesome And I'm gonna speak

blue for a moment you got Keith motherfucking

David Yeah Goliath as Black Panther, which was

awesome. But yeah, I think overall my favorite

voice or favorite member of the voice cast was

Tony Jay as Galactus because That dude just has

a voice that you know, I don't care. He's reading

the phone book. I'm listening kind of thing.

Yeah Yeah, Tony Jay is was just amazing. I wish

Sadly, you know, he's he's not with us anymore

I wish he still was because that would be an

interview to end all interviews I mean you would

have in that interview you would have Galactus

Megabyte and share con all at once and that would

be just amazing and also just looking at his

animation wiki here he was also chair face Chippendale

on the tick which is another reason why i love

that show and i didn't know that he was the narrator

on skeleton warriors yep i mean yeah this dude

you You know Tony motherfucking Jay, you know

Then there's only a few men in the world that

you can you add the MF between their names like

that He's one of them. So yeah, no awesome voice

cast man. Like it just You know, it's just the

goal the days of your first Saturday morning

animation Yeah, you know, I you know just since

you brought that up I think I think that's actually

coming back, because every Saturday at this point,

I watch Thundercats, Green Lantern, and Young

Justice. I mean, granted, it's not... It's Eastern

time here, the real time zone, 9 .30, 10, and

10 .30 a .m. Eastern time. That's an hour and

a half of really good Saturday morning cartoons.

I mean, granted, it's not, you know, the 80s,

where it's 6 a .m. to noon. but at least it's

something to do on a Saturday morning. Yeah,

you get a good slice of nostalgia watching, at

least nowadays, like with a lot of series like

that, and not necessarily the superhero stuff,

but just a lot of animated series nowadays, like

there is this sense that the, you know, guys

like us who are watching cartoons back in the

day are now making cartoons, and that love is

crossing over into the work, so. You know any

Any of those stories you want to go over for

the seasons are there any like major ones that

we need to mention? Well the one thing I think

you just talked about a little bit more in depth.

Maybe is just the fact that like Iron Man There

was this complete overhaul for season two. I

mean Again very much like Iron Man the first

season fantastic four had this he man versus

Skeletor you good versus evil You know, there

wasn't a lot of story per se in each episode

in the first season It was just done in one and

on with life. Whereas the second season Had Not

as much as Iron Man had a recurring storyline

with the you know, the Mandarin reclaiming his

rings But they had like three different Galactus

Silver Surfer episodes Where in Doctor Doom is

like I must have the power and he's trying to

sap off the power cosmic and take over the world

and get his revenge on Reed Richards and all

that. But yeah, like the second season, updated

animation, better theme song. Johnny wasn't,

I wouldn't say he was any more of a dick in the

first season, but it's just the characters and

the writing came together more cohesively in

this season. Yeah, I like the one thing I noticed

from the first season's I like the darker caught

uniform designs because the first season was

You know this very almost sky blue with you know

white collar and boots and gloves on Three members

of the team in the second season. They got this

darker Blue, you know much more like the comics

Yeah, so I just think the other more attention

was paid in the second season I don't know why

it wasn't paid in the first but you know Well,

the first season was at least for animation was

done by Wang and Kennedy You said Wang Well,

it was I know but it's funny I'm trying to think

here The first season was primarily written by

Ron Friedman. Well, the second season was overseen

by Tom Tederant Taterynowski? I don't know how

to say his last name. Through noticeably having

fewer introductions by Stan Lee with several

of the new shorter intros being used more than

once, not only that, Four of Freedom's plaza

replaced the Baxter building as the Fantastic

Four's home base in season two. The season two

episodes also drew upon John Byrne's 1980s run

on the Fantastic Four comic as well as John Buscema's

artwork in addition to further Lee and Kirby

adventures. Overall, I mean, the stories that

the show told, regardless if the first season

was bad and the second season was good, it was

a pretty solid series for the most part. I mean,

there wasn't anything that really made me say

I'm never watching this show ever again. It introduced

me to these characters. And then when the movies

came along, Love the characters even more for

what the movies did with them apparently There

was supposed to be a season 3 which never happened

according to season 2 supervising producer Tom

Tata Rinkowitz I don't say his last name had

there been a third season of Fantastic Four he

would have wanted to go into the whole Sue Storm

pregnancy story arc In his eyes this would have

given the production crew a chance to do their

own Take on the Submariner who only appeared

in season one as he played the arc in the FF

issues leading up to around issue 100 He also

wanted to bring in Medusa and she Hulk into the

mix as part of the Fantastic Four I Don't think

they would have gotten away with that if it had

happened. I don't think 94 tonight wanted to

show in 96. Yeah uh... ninety four ninety six

i mean it's it's hard to crack those ninety sensors

i mean tiny tunes that well enough but i mean

it's it's hard to it was hard to crack those

sensors back then so doing a pregnancy story

line in a superhero cartoon i don't think they

would have gotten away with that they could have

gotten away with it is as the idea was because

i remember reading about this not too long ago

as I want to do. Basically they were going to

almost write Susan out and bring in like what

they did in the comic books when she was pregnant

was bring in Medusa and She -Hulk. I mean She

-Hulk really came in the comics when the thing

left for a while but I mean they were going to

write in you know Medusa and then She -Hulk as

part of the group. Right, you know to fill that

slot and I mean it could have been done like

basically as soon as pregnant didn't You know

over the course of the third season You would

see her getting bigger and bigger and then the

birth would have happened entirely on screen

Like she goes into the operating theater and

read comes out with Franklin Richards You know,

that's you won't see anything you won't you'll

hear the cry of Franklin, but you won't hear

Susan like give me the devil You know Give me

the juice Yeah, no, it's just you they could

have done it it would have been like way dumbed

down and way simplified Yeah, so I mean that

could have happened yeah it might not have happened

very well, but No, I mean So, where are we on

the list here lost my place? Um Season three.

Yeah. Oh, so like then we go into the favorite

episodes. Do we not? Yeah, you can talk about

some favorite episodes. Cool thing about Fantastic

Four more so than Iron Man that was running concurrently

with this is there are three classic FF stories

that they translated into animation. There was

of course the three or four Galactus episodes.

Right there was the mask of doom, which is basically

In the 60s at one of the classic FF stories from

the original couple years was dr. Doom kidnapped

Sue storm and He has basically a time platform

which you know He's he's the only guy in the

merl universe that conquered time travel And

he sends Ben Johnny and Reed back in time to

find these mystic gems that'll help him increase

his power and in the comic books, Ben becomes

Blackbeard and such like that. It's one of the

classic tales. So they animate that. Then there's

the three -part inhuman saga, which basically

it follows the beats of the comic books, how

Medusa and the rest of the inhuman royal family

are out in the world, and she gets amnesia and

becomes part of the first frightful four, and

then... she gets loose and Johnny chases after

and meets Crystal and falls in love with her

and then the Inhumans fight the Fantastic Four

and they go back to fight against Maximus the

Mad, Black Bolt's evil brother and then they're

sealed off in the world for a while. It followed,

a lot of the stories did follow some of the most

classic and very much cherished Fantastic Four

comic book stories. And there's other stuff like

First episode of the second season It's it's

again This is another one that's based off of

a two -part comic book story where the fantastic

four lost their powers due to dr. Doom's machinations

and basically daredevils kind of got a show you

can be heroes with a handicap and You know because

in the cartoon basically read devices like exosuits

that allows them to like kind of simulate their

powers and Right such like we're seeing that

yeah, see I mean overall It was a great series

I mean I Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of that

first season, but it's still pretty good Yeah

All right, so as far as how it stacks up As far

as how does the show stack up within the same

franchise well At least for animation. This was

the first cartoon, wasn't it? I don't know. I

mean, this is technically the third series, but

Well, right, but I don't like I don't remember

anything this yeah, this would be the first series

for many people, right? Yeah Again, you couldn't

compare it. I mean we can compare it now to world's

greatest heroes but there's really nothing else

to compare it to Aside from if you remembered

the 60s series at the time. No Again, you couldn't

really compare because again even that first

season the stories were a little more involved

and a little more better plotted and paced out

than The 60s, but again, right? What's great

about the 60 series is it's so simple and you

just kind of get into it Yeah, and run with it.

So So what would you rank this amongst other

superhero cartoons in the same in the genre?

Basically, I would throw this up against Pretty

much all of the 90s Marvel series. Yeah Minus

unlimited. I don't think that was 90s specifically.

It was 99. Yeah so kind of shoehorn that in there.

But yeah, you could stack it up against, you

know, X -Men, Spidey, Iron Man, even the Hulk

a little bit. And again, to dip my toes into

the DC pool, you could throw this up against

Superman. Maybe not so much Batman, because just

the way they were doing the Superman cartoon

was this very Silver Age -esque, you know, fun

and it wasn't too serious, but it wasn't too

silly either. You know that there was a lot of

respect for the for for the comics and that was

definitely inherent in this Fantastic Four cartoon

So I you could do it like that. I mean, I know

you don't like the Hulk and the Hulk It's like

the flip version of Iron Man and Fantastic Four

But definitely you could throw this up against

spider -man and x -men. Yeah All right zero to

four. What do you give it? I'm gonna give it

a two. I guess I'm recommending this For anyone

else. I'm gonna give it a two. Yeah Two and a

half. I mean I want the DVD collection. I haven't

been able to find it. So Yeah, I'm gonna give

it a strong two as well it's nice it's a nice

bit of nostalgia at this point but it's not anything

you like really need to seek out. I mean if you

want to get into Fantastic Four, yeah sure. As

far as the reception, as with the case with its

sister show in the Marvel Action -Hour Iron Man,

the first season of Fantastic Four was poorly

received by fans and critics. Many criticized

the first season for its campy tone and silly

acting in the show. As previously mentioned,

the show was revamped for a second season in

1995. with revamped characters, more complex

stories, and more mature tone. However, despite

mixed positive reviews from the critics and fans,

ratings still dropped, which led to the show's

cancellation. It is on DVD following the release

of the 2005 live -action film Walt Disney Company

through Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

Released the series on Region 1 DVD on July 5th,

the DVD set now featured new introductions by

Stan Lee for all 26 episodes. replacing the original

introductions, which had been removed for network

broadcast. Additionally, pieces of footage from

the episodes themselves had also been removed

for network broadcast. And it's these cut episodes

that comprise the DVD set. I hate when they use

cut episodes. No one likes a clip show. Exactly.

So we're going to head to a commercial break,

and we'll come back after that. Welcome to my

494 sir, I Love this series like it's a huge

slice in nostalgia for me You know especially

because you know when I think about when I first

got to watch this was also times when I wasn't

on the farm I was in a city and I know after

cartoons are over we're going to go out and see

things and do stuff and right it brings back

a lot of present memories for me but on top of

that and not beside that but on top of that is

it's pro is one of the first uh you know like

I said was the first animated fantastic four

it's certainly one of my favorites in the entire

marvel catalog of animation And I dig it. I mean,

you know crappy theme song aside I really do

love this series and I would have you know it

again Yeah, it would have rocked if they had

done a third season, you know pregnancy storyline

or not It was just been awesome to see this go

on just a little bit longer Yeah, I agree Um,

yeah, you know, I'm gonna have to seek out the

DVD set myself just to you know I've caught episodes
