00:00Welcome back guys. Today we'll be finishing off the first season of the series. Do all the usual

00:20things like liking and subscribing if you haven't. And after I review these two episodes I will also

00:26review the opening and ending to the series. So if you're interested stick around for that.

00:33All right let's get going. Avengers!

00:43Assemble. No! We have a strong opening with the Council of Comics singing their anthem and I have

00:49to say it sounds pretty good. Mike is still trying to come to the reality that Lucy is X and she

00:55confronts him at school and tells him her reasoning for wanting the comics. She explains the creator of

01:02the comics, Scott, is her uncle. And we then go into a flashback. We see that they had a good

01:09relationship with her being wowed by Scott's art ideas and Scott probably just liking hanging out

01:16with his niece. Her father gets angry with Scott because he sees his interest with comics as a

01:23waste of time and doesn't want Lucy to end up like him. She ended up not seeing Scott for many years

01:30afterwards until she got a letter from him. Basically telling her that he is in trouble and he leaves his

01:37comics with her. She then goes to his apartment but all his stuff is gone and the landlord doesn't know

01:44anything about his comics. She did find one being the Great Finger and from that point on the story

01:52bridges back into the first episode of the series. Nick comes in and shows them the attack the Council

01:58of Comics is committing on the city hall. So they go to suit up and the council is doing a pretty good

02:04job of fighting off the police. And we get to see my glorious King Sparkules again and they do end up

02:11defeating the police as Mike and Lucy arrive. We cut over to Super Scott being pleased with what the

02:17council are doing but he just says that all of it is going according to plan. And then we get probably

02:23the best cliffhanger and the best shot of the show of the Council of Comics and our heroes charging

02:30each other with epic music playing ending the episode.

02:44When I first watched this it really got me hyped for the next episode. This is going to be another

02:50long discussion section since we got introduced to nine new characters. First we will get the creator

02:56of the comics out of the way. Scott who is voiced by Aiden Rudd again just like Super Scott. And what

03:04we saw from him in this episode just tells us that he was a kind man and that he didn't seem to be that

03:11successful as an artist with how Lucy's father was treating him. But years later something was

03:16happening to him that made him go into hiding and leave his comics to Lucy. So it still leaves a lot

03:23of questions about Scott himself. So now let's go over to all of the Council of Comic members and their

03:29heroes. Skull Crusher is up first and she is voiced by Valerie Pierce. And she owns Jinxing Man who is

03:37voiced by Jason Griffith who has voiced Sonic and Shadow from the Sonic franchise, Usak from the Four Kids

03:45dub of One Piece, and Miyamoto Usagi from the Ninja Turtles. Jinxing Man basically has tentacle powers

03:53thanks to his entire body being a root along with having them be able to branch out creating a shield for

03:59others. Next is Papa Princess who is voiced by Dinesh Alvis and his hero is Sugar Sugar Pang Pang who I will

04:09just be referring to as Sugar Pang because I don't want to repeat her name so many times. She is voiced by

04:15Jenny Yokobori and she seems to have the power to turn anything into a fruit which seems to be a decent enough

04:23power. King Blockbuster is voiced by Brent Mukai who has voiced Yoko from Demon Slayer and Scratchman

04:31Apu from One Piece. His hero is Toxo who is voiced by Lucas Shunaman. He has the power to suck in toxic air

04:40around him and expel it somewhere else or at the enemy. Lastly is Hotbutton81 who is voiced by Gianna

04:47Matragrano with his hero being Locus whose power seems to be his sheer leg strength and he seems

04:55to have a heavy inspiration from Kamen Rider. He is also voiced by Aaron Rudd and I have to say out of

05:02all of them I don't know why Hotbutton was aura farming as much as he was with him not caring he was

05:09being shot at. Something I like in the episode was Mike's vision of X when he saw Lucy because I like

05:16the lighting they had and it really made her eyes pop. But the main thing I want to talk about is us

05:23finally getting some info on Lucy. We basically got her full backstory with her being the true inheritor

05:29of the comics which explains why she was so driven to collect all of them. But she definitely let her

05:36drive consume her since she was putting a lot of innocent people in danger with her fights.

05:42And seeing Mike be the kind of person that Scott would want to have to protect the comics woke her

05:48up from her obsession. And we now see that both of them have come together to stop the Council of

05:54Comics who have honestly done a fair amount of damage. And we will see if they can handle this fight

06:00since it's a two on five battle.

06:17We come back from right where we left off with the battle beginning. And as usual the animation is just

06:23great. We get to see some interesting interaction with the heroes and their powers. Like crying man

06:30accidentally powering up Jinxing man. And crying man attacking sparkules but because of his power

06:36an electrical current goes back to him taking him out of the fight. We get another awesome moment

06:42kid from Locust Man using his comical eyes and it is just perfect.

06:51Ha ha! Evil-doers! I shall defeat you in the name of justice!

06:56Mike and Lucy are pretty much on the brink of losing so they fuse the comical eyes abilities of gravity to catch

07:23all the heroes in his gravity bubble. And Sylph to pull them all in and to further add to the force

07:30of the attack ultimately beating them and forcing them back into their books. Durko can't believe that

07:37they were all defeated but he shows that he has one last comic Mac B and uses his ultimate iron planet and

07:45then somehow re-summon sparkules using his ultimate as well which will ignite the giant metal ball filled with all kinds of combustibles

07:54which would blow up the entire area. Mike has a vision of what he would imagine to be the future if that thing explodes

08:02and seeing this gives him an extreme boost to his imagination. Managing to summon five heroes at once and uses four of their

08:12ultimates to push back the mass and finally destroy it. Man, this was a exhilarating moment when I first saw it.

08:20Even watching it back now gave me some goosebumps.

08:24I... I... I have to say this!

08:31This moment was the moment I decided to review the series and to me has been the peak of the

08:44series so far. Lucy goes to check on Mike with him still saying he has to save everyone, giving us

08:50another flashback to her and Scott. With it transitioning to Super Scott saying that Durko served his purpose

08:57and that now the world knows about the hero books. Ending the season on that note. This was just a full

09:04on action episode with all the fights we got to see. With Durko actually surpassing Lucy in power

09:10because he was able to not only summon two heroes at once but he re-summoned sparkules after he was

09:17knocked out and did a fusion move like they just did by the himself. He really showed he was a serious

09:25threat and I can comfortably raise him from a joke villain to a serious one. But of course right

09:31after he does this feat Mike blows him out of the water by summoning five heroes with him re-summoning

09:38crying man after he was defeated and uses all of their ultimates except for mummy girl that just uses

09:45one of her regular moves to throw great finger. Now on the character side of things Mike truly showed

09:51that he has the heart of a hero pushing beyond his limits to save everyone because he did not just

09:57save Lucy but everyone that was in City Hall as well. Even as he is passing out he still is thinking

10:04about getting everyone to safety. He has had a great character arc so far in the show. We really only

10:10got one thing from Lucy's character wise which was her concern for Mike because he took a beating this

10:17episode along with him reminding her of Scott again probably seeing that he is more of a hero Scott

10:24envisioned than she is. This was just a fantastic episode all around. None of the comics on screen

10:32switched hands this episode so I don't have to go over that. So now let's move on to me covering the

10:40opening and ending songs to the series. So with the opening a lot of people who have made videos

10:47about the show also comment on how sucky the lyrics to it is. It is basically sounding like broken

10:54english with how they are written. The only good sounding part is the ending saying

11:05I do give them some points with the visuals looking like the classic american comic style

11:11but that's really it for it. It's simple and at least serviceable for what it is. The ending I can

11:19talk more about. The ending song is definitely the better of the two. I do think if it's from anyone's

11:25perspective it's partly from Mike's. Talking about how he is waking up to go to school and how he is

11:32going through puberty with his life getting brighter whenever he sees his crush being Lucy and that he

11:38doesn't really have the guts to talk to her. I also like that the ending is a freeze frame of a lot of

11:44the readers having a battle in the street and all the heroes using their abilities. It's cool and cost

11:51effective since you just have to move the camera around once you pose them all. It's just a really

11:57chill ending winding you down after the episode. I did some polls about the characters from the last video.

12:05The first round Mr. Justice won with my boy Sparkules being second. The second one Super

12:11Scott obviously won with Sylph being in second and the others did not get any votes. With the final round

12:19for the heroes had Super Scott win. It was a toss up for who I thought the fandom would choose here.

12:25With the new readers the first round went to Ed with a few people actually voting for Bucko

12:31and no one voted for Hannigan. I thought he would get at least one but I guess not. With round two

12:37being a clean sweep for Mrs. Cubinson. Again I am surprised Teemo got no votes. And then for the

12:45final round Ed versus Mrs. Cubinson the people voted for Ed with a commenter talking about how they want

12:53Ed to join the team which I do have to agree on. I hope you enjoyed now that I have reviewed all of season

12:59one. I would appreciate if you liked the video and subscribed if you did enjoy. I am not sure if

13:06I'll be able to get another review out this month but I'll try. And I think that's all I have to say

13:11so I will see you guys later. Bye guys!
