[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6316758, member: 22779"] Heh. I honestly don't think there are any embarrassing ways. Little personal anecdote: Shock and surprise, I like the Marvel movies and cartoons. I know, it's totally out of character right? ;) But, my girls have zero interest in any of them. They just completely turn up their noses. Until Disney XD here started showing Disk Wars Avengers. It's a tie in for some Pokemon style game using Marvel properties. Totally borrowing (what I consider the worst) parts from standard Japanese anime fare - power up scenes for changing costumes, slow pans, the whole bit. The girls eat it up. They love it. Now they know the characters. They are getting familiar with a large swath of the Marvel characters and suddenly, me suggesting watching Iron Man or Spider Man isn't out of line. They are starting to show interest. Heck, they've even started perusing a few of my old comic books. So, to me, that's exactly what WOTC and Hasbro is trying to do. Appeal to people who have no interest in the product by trying a totally different approach. More power to them. I hope it works. [/QUOTE]
