Ok so here's the reality of the current situation. This show is all over the Latin America and Spanish territories in north and south America. Jetix has already blown through half the series. Canada's ytv will have already shown most of the series in original English all before the US premiere in January of 2009.
So now spoilers and images for over half the show are out there on the net now. It can't really be stopped. Greg Johnson politely asked fans to try and not spoil themselves. Its better to wait and enjoy it on tv.
But for savvy net fans that is unrealistic. They can't help themselves and they want to find out more. But the thing is this is such a good show so far all the feedback is incredibly positive. I think marvel could use this as a sort of impromptu focus group or test gauge.
But since the US premiere is so much later will this kill the show on Nicktoons? Now I know not everyone has it. I have Nicktoons on TW digital cable in CA. But what about everyone else?
People on toonzone called Nicktoons a channel only for the privileged. Is the access really that low? Will it change before Jan?
Johnson said currently all there is for the show right now is the single season of 26 episodes. So right now work isn't being done on a second season. With. All this potential in the show it would suck not to see more. This is a higher caliber series than just about any other Marvel animation before. Its big, epic, and ambitious. So if the show doesn't find an audience here, that could be it.
So hopefully more people will get nicktoons and nickelodeon will get the word out on where to find the series.
However as long as the show is being aired elsewhere its going to get put online automatically and it will be talked about. And we should talk about it with discretion of course. I think any fan that reads spoilers knows the risks, and for many it will only get them more excited if its something really good like watxm.
Of course we are only one small chunk of the viewing audience. The guys marketing this need to reach to young males, the marvel, xmen, and wolverine fans. They probably won't be watching or talking about the show right now like we are.
Online tv is going further and further now. I think one option would be doing free streaming ad supported episodes of the show online so at least marvel are the ones showing it and they could get money off of that.
But since everyone posting here seems to like the show so far I hopw the american fans will continue to support it on Nicktoons.
