Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload

Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload (2013) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi for the first time in a long time. The storyline focuses on our friend, Loki, who is board and decides watching Earth from his perch would be a little more interesting if the world contained super villains. He invents a power called Maximum Overload and sends it to villains as they face various members of the Marvel Universe. That should spice up his viewing pleasures.

This movie is directed by Greg Richardson (Max Steel) and contains teh voices of Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop), Troy Baker (Family Guy), J. K. Simmons (Spider-Man), Chi McBride (Gone in 60 Seconds) and Grey Griffin (Bumblebee).

The backdrops and depiction of the Marvel universe was awesome. Dock Ock, Venom and Hulk were excellent in this and it was fun watching Spider-Man versus Loki. I also loved the Stan Lee cameo. This is a very fun movie for being only 23 minutes. I would score this a solid 6-6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

This was my first Lego show and I wasn't expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised. This is the first time any of these characters were truly funny. I never liked Loki before but I love him in this series.

This was a made for tv special back when I was 11. About a year before Lego movie was a thing, this was one of the biggest rough patches in Lego history because it barely had a proper story or an ending. Basically I wouldn't call it an ending because this movie didn't care to have a better plot. This short film is an example of a writer not giving a care about making a good movie and/ or tv special.

Compare to the other Lego tv specials like Batman dc heroes, or the Lego tv shows like Ninjago, Unikitty etc. Have much better writing and creativity compared to whatever the hell this unholy train wreck was.

I mean honestly even when I was 11 when it came out this movie was a wet slap in the face. My advice if you never seen this movie leave it that way.

I don't love the Lego series, this was an okay little mini film!
