The show is also kinda refreshing with the over exaggerating of the characters. Seeing the characters actually be different while still be the characters was so much fun. For Hulk in particular, you have just the Hulk instead of the Hulk/Bruce Banner as his usual portrayal. He can be happy and sad, and is just an overall goofball. It makes this Hulk unique and that much more memorable.

I've heard that Spider-man was supposed to be in the show, but because of rights issues, he couldn't be used. So they replaced him with Reptile (he does have a reference in the show, and appears in the online game)

The characters are all so funny, this Hulk is one of my favourite versions 😂😂. And the theme song intro is awesome.

"I've been there dude, not with sue storm, not anymore" Stop it stop! He's already dead!

I absolutely love this show and I'm sick of hearing people call it garbage

This show is the best way to introduce kids to marvel, it perfectly emphasizes the characters and what they're like or the aspects of them I'm so glad I grew up with it and can still enjoy it today

I always knew there was something to this show because I always found it funny, even when I got older. But I never heard those thoughts be put into words because it's one of those forgotten 2000's-era Marvel shows, it had a kinda odd lineup of characters with some you'd never see given any spotlight in other Marvel content like Silver Surfer and Reptil (who I'm pretty sure has barely been used in any other Marvel media since this show). I was such an avid fan of the franchise that I had some toys, the first two games for the Wii, and was an avid player of Super Hero Squad Online.

THANK YOU! This show was my introduction to the vast Marvel universe before EMH and the MCU came along!

I actually did watch it as a kid. As a kid, for the most part, I *hated* superhero media with a few exceptions, this being one of them. I viewed it was one of the most serious things I watched, which doesn't seem to be the case considering what I'm hearing about it now lol. I still have a distinct memory of the last time I watched it. I dont know if this is all in my head or not, but you did mention the Dark Surfer so that's definitely not made up. I remember at the end of one episode, the Dark Surfer scatters the superheroes across the multiverse or something like that. As a kid, I was horrified. I didn't understand why Silver Surfer had gone bad and sent all the heroes away. Then I never saw the show on the TV again and I was stuck with this sad ending to me as a kid where the Silver Surfer, for reasons unknown to me, had become corrupted and turned on his allies. This is probably not the case but this was my reality. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane. :)

My favorite parts of the Show were the moments where it felt like a YTP, like the Bit with Hulk and the Doorbell

This show was one of my favorites, I remember constantly checking the HUB network for episodes until it got removed (unfairly). The one thing that makes me question the show is that Spider-Man only appears in the video game, but why is he not in the show?

This show is honestly the reason why the Silver Surfer is my favorite character, is he like this in the comics, most likely no, but he still was an incredibly cool character and the dark surfer was also cool

I watched this show too many times and the theme song is a bop

This show was also my child hood

Finally, someone covers this criminally underrated series. I binged this when I was in high school when it showed up on Netflix. The comic that preceded it was also fantastic.

I remember this show introduced Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet and now he's one of my favorite characters!

I definitely love the Super Hero Squad show for all the reasons you said with it being a celebration of marvel and a truly funny lighthearted kid-friendly parody on the universe, but one thing that always did bum me out when looking back was Spider-Man not being in the show. And I do understand why since sadly Sony had the TV rights at the time, so he wasn’t allowed which always bothered me since Spidey was in the SHS video games and all other merchandise.

I used to love this show as a kid. I'm glad to see someone compliment it instead of just criticize. I know it has its flaws but it's always going to be special to me.

The gag I remember most is from the finale when the infinity sword broke again and all the characters were just so fed up with having to look for the pieces again.

ah, i remember 8 year old me sitting down and binging Super Hero Squad and Spectacular Spiderman. Much simpler times.

I remember watching and loving this show as a kid. When I saw Thanos in the post credits scene in Avengers for the first time, I said "It's the guy with the weird chin from Superhero Squad!"

I remember, I love the superhero squad from my childhood, and the show still makes me laugh this very day

I absolutely loved this show, it was silly and entertaining. I enjoyed it so much that I had my parents buy me the wii game. It’s a fun introduction to the marvel universe for a kid or even casual fan. The Silver Surfer was my absolute fave, which has led me to try watching the old Silver Surfer cartoon

It's a shame Spider-Man wasn't on this show

I used to watch this show a lot when i was really little, it showed me new characters, new stories, how they look, how animation works, everything was introduced to me in a way where a really little kid could look at it and really like it, and I was able to appreciate these characters more when I finally started getting into comics, and this show just really influenced me with my love of animation, comics, marvel, and character design. Looking back this show is fucking horrible, but it has some heart every once in a while, and I have a true appreciation for it.

My favourite thing is the Hulk Gag during the theme intro where Hulk turns to various iterations in pop culture and media.

This is my door to Marvel, I even had this game on PS2. I also remember an online PC game that was never released, I may be wrong.

I honestly love this area of marvel. The mcu just began, the marvel animated shows were at their peak and truly felt like love letters to the fans, obscure characters were always a treat to see, a lot of characters used their comic designs, Toybiz was still making marvel legends. I could go on for hours about this being peak marvel. I wish I could have gotten to experience it more and honestly I took it for granted. Marvel truly embraced their weird side, btw does anyone remember the marvel web series’s? I wish this era of marvel could be brought back.

This show does its 2 jobs for me: don’t bore me that I want to change the channel and don’t make me hate any of the main characters
