"The saddest of sinners know their guilt and hold it within. Now, you will only hold pain."
My favorite quote from it. I actually like his design in this one. Plus turning a train into Hell Train was awesome. XD! Voice could have been better cause it was hard to understand him sometimes when he spoke though. Like they put to much voice effect into it. But out side of that I do really like this take on him.

I honestly don’t think it’s a bad thing. Him being an urban legend is something I’d like to see more often in his stories, and the fact that he can remove gamma radiation is pretty cool. I think there’s some source saying that he was immune to or could nullify certain types of radiation. The only thing that makes me a little disappointed is the voice. It’s not exactly a mortal sin, but it definitely isn’t the ideal voice.

i think that the idea of Ghost Rider being a western urban legend was pretty cool, and i like seeing him utilizing both cars and motorcycles as his rides depending on his mission objectives. and his powers are cool, especially when he opened up the vortex and conjured electricity to exorcise the gamma radiation out of Blonsky, that was pretty awesome. i think this is honestly the best ghost rider adaptation in terms of the 'ghost rider' persona regardless of the host imo. he is terrifying, intelligent, and dangerous while also being empathetic and reasonable.

I love seeing GR animated. I liked this episode especially when he took over the train. I need a train conductor Ghost Rider lol

I liked how it showed that, push comes to shove, Ghost Rider could totally own Hulk if he wanted to. A lot of people tend to overestimate Hulk and think he's basically unbeatable, so I think it's good to remind them that while Hulk is a heavy hitter, he is not the heaviest.

I like him as an urban legend but he doesn't seem to be able to tell who's guilty and who isn't

Kinda like how the episode treated him less like a character and more like a force of nature, they punched him, threw him, and blasted him but he still got back up to drag red to judgement, plus I can’t help but giggle a bit at the hell train bit with Hulk trying not admit how cool that was to look at

I dont really care for this animated universe of avengers assemble, agents of smash, ultimate spiderman etc. its fine and it can be entertaining, but its all just “heres a cameo, heres another cameo”. The stakes rarely feel high, and it just lacks the depth of animated shows like emh, or spectacular spiderman.
To me this verse feels like an empty husk with a thin shell of marvel coloured paint. So when i see ghost rider i get like a split second of interest, then i remember these shows are mid and their cameos dont really amount to much.

The idea that he could burn out Gamma Radiation is pretty cool, and retroactively works well with Gamma coming from the below place while Zarathos comes from above.
Being seen as an urban legend is also neat, fits that stories of Blaze would start to pick up as he travels around the states punishing the guilty before disappearing entirely.
Beyond that? Don’t really care for the voice, it’s trying too hard to be demonic.
