Ok, see, I had NO idea that this was going to be some kind of "Marvel Universe"...I really have neither the time nor the interest for that type of thing.
But - the story as it is being told, explains enough of the back story to the point that I don't feel the need to go all retro-geeky, it's fine just as it is. The 30+ minute episode length is perfect, they get a lot in, in that tight time frame.
And as it turns out, it's wonderfully inventive and entertaining show, entirely on its own terms, I'm in!
