Late to the boat due to PC problems and being in Toronto over the weekend.
Wow, what a way to start, so we have slightly new intro (still keeping with STAND AS ONE in it), the group shot was updated to have no Antman or Thor, and the action was BALLS TO THE WALL. Great episode, love that we got more Fantastic Four. The Skrulls and Kree are coming, and Ms. Marvel will be on board... oh boy oh boy oh boy!
So homage time this episode!
- Ironman sports his famous "Heroes Return" armor.
- Captain America's new suit is none other then a tip of the hat to his Ultimates uniform.
- We get to see Hawkeye/Clint's face in this episode, they stay true to the blond round cut
- Ironman mentions the Baxter Building being shot into space. This is a BIG nod to the original Fantastic Four comic #6 in which Doctor Doom did indeed shoot it into space.
- Hulk and Thing having it out all the time is also a big nod to the comics in which both Ben and Bruce have a long standing rivalry that finally concludes with the "New Fantastic Four" story line.
So Reed saying that Sue is ignoring her and seems distracted is all for good reason......
See ya next episode!
