  Predictable superhero tales riddled with violence.

Why We Rated This for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  The lone female among the four heroes is strong and altruistic, but her strength and determination often come across as bossiness that's mocked by the guys. One character often makes light of life-and-death situations by cracking jokes. The four rely on teamwork and respect each other's abilities, and repercussions of recklessness and poor decision making are demonstrated.

What to watch out for

• Violence & scariness:

  Frequent cartoon violence includes punches, kicks, laser blasts, hurling fireballs, and falling from great heights. Robotic characters are often incinerated. None of the violence results in lasting injury to humans. Occasionally there's talk of "terminating" an enemy.
• Sexy stuff:

  Female characters sport breast-enhancing, cleavage-baring outfits.
• Language:

  Occasional use of words like "stupid" and "dumb."
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
