I agree with all the pre PC stuff about the nazi's...but don't forget how...natural the dialouge is in the show compared to He man, or even Gi Joe Transformers I mean c'mon "me spidey, you hot stuff ZZAPP! classic!"
oh and just realized Spider man is the same voice as Bumblebee from '84 Transformers!
this is why kids are ignorant about things the last generation knew: sure it's a little campy and not a great history piece and it doesn't compare to today's animated series, but this is how you get kids to learn about history's great conflicts. 'Marvel shows can't show Nazis to kids'... Captain America STARTED with showing Nazis to kids!
Now that's something we don't see in cartoons these days. I miss the time when people wasn't bitching about everything and Marvel wasn't infantilizing everything.
Can't say as I blame him for passing out there. If I pulled my curtains open and found the Red Skull staring in at me, I'd probably leave a load in my pants
@jbray34 OOOHHH that bugged me soooo much when I first watched this as lil kid and it STILL does. It's such a perfect setting for Cap to infiltrate Skull Island with the Spidey-Friends. I don't understand what they were thinking benching Cap for this one for fucking Hiawatha Smith who they're essentially showing doing the same things Cap would. Boomerang for shield.
Even though Cap showed up in "Pawns of the Kinpin" and "SLSH" THIS is what he's all about and the show butchered the chance.
@ARMquaman I guess they figured that since Cap had already guested twice already, they didn't need him a 3rd time. However, they should have saved one of those guest appearances for this episode. After all the Red Skull is Cap's number one enemy.
... the bad thing is, you would never see such a story today-- the casual references to WWII, Hitler, etc. the Nazis are clearly villains here, as they should be-- but political correctness in "children's television" prevents such stories from being created.. this entire series needs to be put on DVD, and fast..
What are some of these people talking about this is "PC"? You've heard the Skull mention World War Two,Nazis and HITLER. Damn,should he start going on about Zyklon B,the Waffen SS and "hollow earth"? LMBAO!
Thanks soooooooo much for putting this up. Loved this show when I was a kid but Marvel won't release the DVD set. I've taped every episode but this one because no one has the balls to air it since it's got...... gasp......Nazi symbols. WTF???? It's not like the Red Skull & the Nazis are the good guys for Christ sakes. This politically correct generation is going to grow up so sheltered that if they meet the slightest bit of resistance they're going to fold like a cheap suit. Thanks again
@50farmers By not showing Nazis they are actuallmaking them win. I'd love a F4 show that shows the Thing -Jewish superhero- traveling in th the time to fight Nazis in WW2 as a Golem.
@hypnodance The sad thing is that in the most recent Avengers series, the producers had to choose between Nazis with lasers or the allies fighting HYDRA with guns during WWII. They went with the latter.
Disney kept showing the same ones over & over.I remember this episode
