Review: This ending might’ve actually had a cool surprise in it had they not chose to reveal it in the episode’s title; a baffling decision, as it distracts the reviewer and makes them anticipate (or dread, in this case) his arrival. When you get to the last few minutes, one has to wonder, “OK where is he?”

If you want to see this episode done correctly, I’d recommend that you watch the second season finale. Once again, the episode was a pretty good idea, horribly executed. This episode is more or less on average with the rest of the season, and I personally was glad to see the back of it. Dr. Doom still looked crap, as did Galactus and Silver Surfer.

It’s most important for its great accomplishment, ending the first season. If these chumps hadn’t have produced this season and left it to talented people, we arguably could've had one of the best superhero cartoons ever. Good riddance.
