User blog:ARTaylor/March 2014 Poll Results

Last month we asked visitors which series in the Marvel Animated Universe was their favorite. While every series got at least one vote, the winner came down to just two after a heated and close race.


 * 1) With 42% of the vote, the winner ultimately came down to Spider-Man. The series remains Marvel's second longest running animated series and was one of the first animated shows to feature long-running story arcs. It also had significant influence over the subsequent comics, series, and films such as a new origin for Venom, introduction of Blade's mentor Whistler, and Green Goblin/Norman Osborn having split personalities.
 * 2) Close behind with 36% was X-Men, Marvel's longest running animated series. The beloved series was the first to adapt many classic stories such as Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse, Weapon X, and The Dark Phoenix Saga.
 * 3) Tied for third with 6% were The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers: United They Stand. Hulk was the last series that the jade giant had to himself. The first season was widely praised, though critics noted that the second went drastically downhill. Avengers was the team's first show and featured a great number of villains and guest stars. Though reviews were generally bad and the series was cancelled during Marvel's financial problems.
 * 4) With 3% was Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Spider-Man Unlimited, and Silver Surfer. Fantastic Four and Iron Man had rough first seasons though greatly improved with reformatted second seasons. Unlimited and Silver Surfer both did not receive very positive reviews and both were cancelled on a cliffhanger along with Avengers.
