With Fantastic Four: First Steps hitting theaters this weekend, it’s the perfect time to revisit the Fantastic Four animated series from the ‘90s, a show that started off rough but quietly became one of Marvel’s most underrated cartoons.

In this episode, we break down the wild tonal shift from Season 1 to Season 2, the underrated voice cast, epic guest appearances (Silver Surfer, Black Panther, Daredevil, Hulk, Thor and more), and why Dr. Doom might be the best version ever put on screen.

Also yes, the Human Torch raps.

Whether you’ve seen it or never even heard of it, this deep dive is your crash course in the weirdest, and maybe most comic accurate take on Marvel’s First Family.

Welcome to the lab.

This week, James Gunn’s Superman hits theaters and reintroduces the Man of Steel to a new era. But before you fly off to see the new movie, let’s revisit a version of Superman that’s often overlooked, but remains one of the most definitive takes on the character. Today on Toonology, we’re diving into Superman: The Animated Series. From the team behind Batman: The Animated Series, this show gave us a Superman full of hope, humility, and restraint... a hero who didn’t just punch problems away, but tried to understand them. We’ll explore its origins, standout episodes, greatest villains, lasting legacy, and why it’s still the gold standard for Superman stories almost 30 years later.
