Wow, I really disliked Magneto's every design: His look, his voice, his motivation, his lines, his actions, all didn't sit well with how I view Magneto. Did like the whole episode being an X-Men cameo though.

Yeah, Maggie was kind of... flat here.

Checked out a few episodes. Not liking the design and some of the characterization. And hearing they made Magneto flat is raising my hopes of trying the newer episodes.
^ Why? He's only in one of them. The episodes immediately surrounding the Magneto episodes make up for it fairly well, and in general the second season is a lot better than the first one in terms of characterization and such.

Making Magic Dance
Although we all know humans aren't Magneto's favorite species in the world, I don't think I've ever seen him be so openly racist towards humans in any animated adaption and be so ready to start a war like that. Just not a good Mags in my opinion.
Anyhow, I wonder what the Ghost is gonna do now? No way even he could have predicted that Stark International would be taken from Tony before he turned eighteen. There goes his blackmail. You'd think he'd retire by now, since he's obviously racked up a significant sum of money.

Bitter Hateful Cynic
I love this show

Actually in the second of the X-Men movies, we see that instead of just saving his people from the villain's plot, he just twists it into a Kill All Humans one. So yes we have seen it before.
Where force fails, cunning prevails
That and Wolverine And The X Men version, despite being appearance of a noble guy, is quite the douche beneath the surface who tries to kill all humans again then.
Improving as an author, one video at a time.
So, did the last episode (doomsday) missed some fotage? I saw Gene and Tony's dad searching for ring close to Latveria. Gene is afraid to teleport because "he" may locate them and then they learn that 9th guardian Grey Gargoyle was already destroyed by Doom. One intro later Doom dissapeared with Tony'dad Gene is sudennly is some trap with Tony, Tony got all his (almost?) rings and Pepper and Rhodey fight some glowey thing from another dimension What gives?

You saw it on the official Nick website too, huh?
Yeah, from my estimate it's missing about two-to-four minutes worth of footage. What the... at least it's relatively easy to figure out what's going on.
Also, that has got to be the most boneheaded reaction to an ethereal portal opening up the sky I've ever seen.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
Hammer's a brilliant nutjob who constantly shows off how immaturely eccentric he is even as he is being a psychotic supergenius. He's got a very amusing, interesting characterization.
And his ridiculous eccentricities finally came back to bite him here. I mean, zombie gas? Really? Well, since Hammer's effectively dead, Nefaria's effectively dead, Fixx probably is dead, M.O.D.O.K.'s effectively dead, Doom's on vacation, Laser's reformed, and Controller's brain-wiped, that leaves only Mandarin and Rhona as active villains with Whitney and Obidiah as possibles (given the next episode...).
Yeah... it's safe to say that this is going to be the last season, and the show is wrapping up... makes sense given all the Marvel animation shifts going on. I'm still surprised this show got a second season at all, since it's first season ended around the time all the shifting in Marvel's animation started in the first place.
Also: as a random thought, predicting it now that the next episode, "Iron Monger Lives," will be the one where Pepper gets her own armor. Just as an educated guess.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
I'm pleased with the lead-in for Pepper's rescue armor, and the fact she seen in a pre-rescue model for practice. It looks like she really can hold her own.
Okay, after seeing the episode I can safely say, I was wrong, but the reasons I thought she would be getting her armor - that Whitney was the one actually behind everything - were at least correct. I'm glad they didn't go with "love interests fight," that's way too cliche.
Well, I was close: Pepper gets the armor in the beginning of the next episode.
Also, Gene is the Dovhkiin! I mean, it's an almost perfect analogy - the alien dragon being Paarthurnax. Except for the whole "Gene wants world domination" bit, but then again...
Also, am I correct in thinking that the Makluan is the only Guardian that doesn't have an analogue to the comics?

Wrong. Google, his name and see.
I'm kinda annoyed we dont know what last ring can do. After they explained other four I thought they gonna keep the theme going. Well, maybe in season last episodes...
He doesn't have a name, which is why he's a problem to pinpoint. His race has a comic analogue, but he himself does not. I suppose the closest analogue would be Axon-Karr... which makes Fin Fang Foom's everything a total oddity.

After it airs on tv, you can find every episode in full on the nick.com site... usually. They should probably still be on there.
That is, at least, how I've seen every episode.
