Speaking of superheroes shows, I can't help but wonder about this new trend of having the heroes not to fight the most well-known members of their rogue's gallery. For example, the previously mentioned Agent of SMASH, the hulks have fought Annihilus and Ego the Living Planet, all enemies of the Fantastic Four.
It's also happened in Ultimate Spiderman, only to a greater extent. In fact, the only regular Spiderman enemies that appeared on the first season were Doc Ock, Venom and Norman Osborn (who didn't became the Green Goblin until the season finale). All the other evil-doers were either directly related to the guess-starring super (Loki to Thor, Sabretooth to Wolverine, the Living Laser to Iron Man) or baddies from other comic book series like Juggernaut, Batroc the Leaper and Taskmaster.
Beware the Batman is another example with a twist: they took minor villains like Anarky and Magpie as well as newcomers like Professor Pyg and Mr Toad to the spotlight. One can't help but wonder what would the Joker think about someone letting those d-list fodder to run the show.
