Animation Damnation: Fantastic Four - "Mole Man"
Added 2025-07-17 10:00:04 +0000 UTCOn this month's Animation Damnation, we're chatting about a ridiculous episode of the janky, yet charming 1990's cartoon adaptation, Fantastic Four!
The episode being discussed, "Mole Man," originally aired back on December 3, 1994 and features Marvel's First Family taking on the hilarious adversary, the Mole Man! We also have Rockefeller Center sinking into the ground, an obnoxious landlord character voiced by Stan Lee's wife, some gross subterranean freaks, and, the reason for the season, Johnny Storm (voice by Brian Austin Green himself) singing a song in public to woo his snooty lady friend!

Perfect casting would've been Danny Devito as Mole Man.

2025-08-08 17:58:20 +0000 UTCIt’s reminiscent of the old 60s Marvel cartoons, which had amazing theme songs. Check out Hulk’s on YouTube if you’ve never heard it

2025-07-18 19:21:11 +0000 UTCI felt the fantastic four were already antiquated by the 90s. I always got a weird church-y vibe from them. Reed Richards just feels like a big Mitt Romney guy

2025-07-18 12:02:02 +0000 UTCThat's seriously Brian Austin Green? I kid you not, just watching it and was about to come here to say that Johnny Storm song was even worse than some David Silver horseshit 😅

2025-07-18 03:57:15 +0000 UTCThat Morrison FF is great, but reviled among some readers, I dunno I think it’s pretty good. Check out Jonathan Hickman’s very long run on that book, he breathed some serious life back into that team. They just collected it in a sleek ten dollar volume.

2025-07-17 11:29:27 +0000 UTCstill one of the most catchiest intro songs....Reed Richards is elastic, sue can disappear from sight, johnny is the human torch, the thing just loves to fight!
