Who cares! I'm surprised that Marvel has not done this sooner! Or, that even DC has not even done this! ItsJustSomeRandomeGuys videos are great though, and the jokes are smartly written. I'm sure most will like the Luthor/Goblin pairing but my fav' has to be when Spidey & Horn-Head are talking about each other's movies. Spidey mentions Affleck is in the DD film and he asks DD, "You didn't see it?" HA, that was great! He also does a good job of getting all of their character's right. Spidey's wisecracks are fitted correctly for example. Is Marvel “Ripping Off” Robot Chicken?

Being the one where the Venom sybiote consumes Frank castle). it was great @ T.

I watched the entire series of I'm a Marvel, I'm a DC ones with Batman and Iron Man. Pretty funny, although it kind of sucks because I'm siding with Iron Man, but since it's a Mac commercial parody, IM was supposed to be Mac since Marvel starts with a M like Mac and DC is supposed to be PC, obviously, and I don't understand why people would want to pay more for a computer that does less. I'm a PC guy all the way. So oh well, looks like I'm on the Mac side in the parody, lol. Pretty funny though, love how Jesus came back and brought with him the rapture, but only after the 7:30 showing so he can watch TDK, lol.

It's Marvel's toy line, let'em do what they want. RC wouldn't be able to hold a lawsuit, and it's not like Marvel would lose anything from people like saying this is a ripoff. Marvel has a good head on this one - this project is cheap to make and distribute, if it doesn't work, not much lost (again assuming no lawsuit). Put it out there and see what happens.

I mean, they mocked their own show when they won that award for best animation. So I think they will, because of that and people will expect it. Answer for 2 and 3, yes they will.

I like Robot Chicken. I don't care, either way, I'll probably watch it. I'll watch both. The animation on the Marvel show seems to be slightly better than RC tho, just sayin'.

Robot Chicken can be a bit hit and miss, but when it hits it is very funny. I do think they will make fun of this too. I hope so. As for Randomguy, I love his work. Greengoblin and Lex Luthor doing their duet will never be forgotten. :D Well for me that just wasn’t funny.

Robot Chicken more parodies these characters mixing it into other movies/TV shows. Either way, this looks hilarious and I want to see more. I love them making fun of DC's Batman star, Bale.

And despite whoever esle is out there doing it on the 'Net, Robot Chicken has set the precedence for this type of show being successful. somerandomguy on You Tube... not so much.

Besides they don’t owe the guy anything, he made some funny fan-fic, that’s all. Back to the articles point I agree with T, I don’t think robot chicken would be able to successfully lawsuit, I mean they don’t own the idea of playing with toys comically and filming it. But marvel might have it in their power to be a-holes and not let them use their toys. why can't we play nice.... oh yeah money. lol :) @ melody

why should they higher that guy?
