Ranking Every Marvel Animated TV Series From Worst To Best
27. Iron Man: Armored Adventures
On the surface, examining Tony Stark's teenage years actually sounds like a killer premise. I mean, Tony is one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe after all - surely there's plenty to do there?
The answer, sadly, is a no - at least according to Armored Adventures. Despite running for two seasons, the show could never really justify its premise with a compelling narrative, and often resorted to rehashing tired cliches that tend to make an appearance in most if not all high school-themed comic book series'.
Sad to say, but Iron Man is just way more interesting when he's an arms dealer. And you know, a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
