Reception
The hour-long premiere of Iron Man: Armored Adventures broke Nicktoons Network's record of highest-rated original series by premiering with over 125,000 viewers.
Reviews of the pilot episode have been mixed. Some praise the series for its detailed and layered writing, strong continuity, and character designs. Entertainment Weekly gave the series debut a B+ grade, saying, "What could've been a clunky retrograde reboot works surprisingly well, thanks to some smart writing and stellar CG butt-kickery." Others do not like the "teen Tony" approach to the character's origin, which is drastically different from the original origin story. Some speculate this is due to comparisons between the series, and Jon Favreau's 2008 live action film, which was a more adult take on the character as well as this new origin having parrallels to the origins of Spider-Man.
