Above, "Disassembled," a wonderful, not-authorized-by-Marvel animated take on Avengers characters and other figures of the Marvel universe by Junaid Chundrigar.

"I decided to make this short animation after drawing some Marvel characters in a cartoony style," he explains. If you like this, you'll love his previous short, "Sheeped Away." More of his animated work here.

    Love his style, he’s definitely got the animation chops to be the next John K.

    Speaking of Spiderman . . .
    In the comic back in the 60s where Spidey first confronts Dr. Octopus, Doc Ock kidnaps the love interest of Spiderman & holes up in a deserted amusement park, sending out a challenge to Spidey to come rescue her if he dares.  Spiderman goes after him, though he is starting to feel . . funny.   Doc Ock & Spidey start to battle, except our hero is strangely weak & slow.  “Wait, you’re not Spiderman!” Dr. Octopus snarls, grabbing Spidey & ripping off his mask.  “It’s that weakling Peter Parker!!” Doc Ock shouts, & throws him contemptuously aside.  The police take Peter back to Aunt Bea’s house, tell her he is a brave but foolish boy, & he goes straight to bed, where he sleeps off the 24 hour virus he had.  The next day he goes out & kicks Dr. Octopus’ ass.

    Pretty good! Kudos for using the sad face Hulk music from the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno TV version.

    Very good – although the geek in me couldn’t stop itself thinking shit like “The Silver Surfer would easily take one of Cyclop’s optic blasts in his stride, especially from that distance!”
