Something just occurred to me out of left field.
If this movie had been made even a year later, it would have been the NEW AVENGERS and not ULTIMATES.
Whaddya bet??
(Or would they have been able to use Spidey and Wolverine, et al?)
My reasoning is that, when this project first got rolling, probably 1-2 years ago (it takes time to do all that animation, plus script writing and approval, etc), ULTIMATES was way outselling AVENGERS.
At the time, ULTIMATES was probably a no-brainer direction to go, in terms of popularity and sales and money, if the alternative was the then-AVENGERS book.
How things changed in a year. While IMO ULTIMATES actually got *better* as ULTIMATES 2, NEW AVENGERS came along and started outselling it!
So I suppose we should be grateful it worked out the way it did. If you don't like Ultimate Iron Man, Thor, etc, just think-- you could have had an hour and a half of Spidey and Wolverine...
