The Awesomes is charming, but your enjoyment of it may depend on how much you may already feel over-saturated with animation.
It's cheeky parody/homage, exhibiting affection for comic books and other pulpy amusements, while maintaining such a zippy pace, there's no time to consider whether it hangs together. Or whether that matters. (Great voice cast, though.)

The stories aren’t quite as goofy as they could be. The series is clearly a labor of love for the creators. Still, the show has its wonderfully silly moments.
As one would expect from a Seth Meyers cartoon, The Awesomes can be knowing and clever, with a positive attitude that skews a bit arch.
It has some good jokes, but this overly familiar spoof lacks the strength to push the envelope. [2 Sep 2013]
Visually uninspired and stiffly animated, the show indulges in lots of talk and little action.
Humor is a subjective thing so not everyone will find this humor appealing. If you like dry sarcastic witty humor then this is for you. I have watched all 10 episodes. I can say that it starts out really slow but gets better the further on I watched. The voice acting is serviceable but not great, the animation is passable but nothing to jump at. However, the stories are well written the pacing of the plot is great, and the continuity of the story are cohesive and enjoyable to watch. I did enjoy this show. If there is a second season I will watch.

SEASON 1
It can be funny but i'ts only when it's with the heroes, any other time it tries it just doesn't work, especially with the villain. But it's pretty entertaining and I do watch new episodes regularly.

Just not that funny at all. Was hoping for something funny from Seth Myers but this is not delivering. Just can't find anything all that original with this. Full disclosure though, I turned it off half way through the first episode.

SEASON 1
It tries to be edgy and wacky, like some of crossbreed of Drawn Together and The Incredibles, but for all its gimmicks, it doesn't do any of them particularly well besides the inevitable failure of team-leader Prock. But even those failures are so predictably cringe-worthy that I'm 8 episodes in to the series, and it's just not at all entertaining.

SEASON 1
More annoying than funny. I expected more from someone like Seth Myers. The writers seemed to confused between take every opportunity to be asinine instead of doing something actually creative and funny. Over-all very predictable, and insulting of my intelligence.
