Before we go any futher, I’d like to show you a frame from the first episode of the mini-movie that I think could pique some interest: In the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overloadmini-movies you will see Loki features prominently, probably to hype-up the recent release of the new Marvel movie titled Thor: The Dark World (which I personally enjoy quite a bit, especially because I’m a fan of Loki’s rather trolling quotes). Today I’d like to show you a series of videos produced by Marvel (really Disney as they own Marvel now), called LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload, which I discovered courtesy of the UK-based LEGO blog Brick Fanatics. Overall, this is definitely a kids movie you and your children can enjoy together.If you have been reading my previous posts (click on my name above to find them) you probably know that there are three things I specialize in: LEGO digital media, LEGO polybags, and building my own LEGO robots. We giggled all the way through it and I couldn't believe how good the animation was. I grabbed this off Netflix because my daughter loved the Lego movie and we both adore super heroes so this seemed right up our alley and in all honestly, we loved it. The animation was awesome and I adore the use of the Marvel Universe (very well done). The storyline for this picture was fun and fairly cliché comic genre. Greg Richardson, director of three Barbie movies, three Max Steele movies, and the Lego: Marvel Super Heroes television series, delivers Lego: Marvel Super Heroes Maximum Overload. "You'll be correcting my grammar out of the other side of your helmet." Can our heroes stop Loki and his supped up villains? He watches the super heroes on planet Earth thwart every super villains attempt to triumph over good, so Loki uses the orb on Spiderman's villains, as well as some other villains from the Marvel universe in hopes of helping them win and aiding his ability to take over the planet. Loki, back at Asgard, has discovered an orb that provides individuals with a super ability to destroy and forces them to do his bidding. Prepared to be punished by the hand of Loki. If this special can be a shameless plug for the MCU, I can shamelessly talk about The Lego Movie being the greatest thing since sliced bread! Yes, nearly everything those two touch turns into gold. Avengers Reassembled is stupid yet fun and is one of the better animated Marvel things not named Big Hero 6, What If.? or Into the Spider-Verse but it's still fairly juvenile and would've benefitted more from having the likes of Phil Lord and Chris Miller on board. So yeah, the animation studio that does all these Lego specials totally knew what they were doing. And before you say this came out before Civil War, the trailer had already been uploaded showing the Scott Lang version being on.Iron Man's person. Not just with the then-current Avengers lineup, but also having Ultron as the villain, Ant-Man as an ally and even having him ride Iron Man. But the silly story can't hide the fact that it was blatantly done to advertise the MCU. Unlike the 2D-animated stuff that was available at the time, this fun-sized Marvel adventure was actually kinda fun and didn't have stilted animation or pathetic excuses for action sequences. Give this 22-minute Lego special credit, at least it isn't shy to admit it's a commercial.
