Avengers Assemble
 

Awhile back, rumors started to appear online that Marvel would cancel the popular superhero show, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. And now, it appears that these rumors have been proven true. Coming in 2013, a new cartoon based on the superhero team, the Avengers, is in development. Here is the source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/larissaf...ue-the-movies/


Here are the details for the show that have been revealed:



Thoughts?

**** this!

Uggghhhhhhhhhhh WHY??!!!

EHM is frickin great.

The jury is still out on Ultimate Spider-Man (but really it sucks).

This sounds bad to me.

Ooohhh dear.

The thing about this shared "Marvel Animated Universe" is Loeb insists there be no big story arcs and the episodes should all be "accessible" and not neccersarily watched in order to be "enjoyed"...so where's the dramatic hook going to be for any of these shows?

I thought Ultimate Spiderman was part of the A:EMH's universe? I remember reading about that but oh well, there goes that.

Haven't seen S2 but I'll miss Wasp, at least we're getting a 52 episode run in total, that's still not bad for a Marvel toon...

Oh, I forgot to mention this bit about the released info for this new show. Appearently, word is that the show will be on Cartoon Network, although I find that unlikely to happen. Only time will tell, I guess.

There's a good reason why Marvel's TV shows lag far behind their DC counterparts.

Marvel is the king of the abrupt reboot.

NOOO! That's my favorite show on television!

Okay Marvel, you better put Coulson in this! And do NOT use the goofy ass USM humor.

Ultimate Spidey only has 2 things in common with A: EMH

1. Ultimate Nick Fury

2: Fred Tatsciore as Hulk

Otherwise Ultimate Spidey sucks. Sure there are moments in the eps and Venom's new origin IS rather unique. Plus there's Agent Coulson as the high school principal... but other than that the show is just awful.

Just when I thought Marvel could do no wrong after watching the Avengers film and while enjoying S2 of EMH, they go and remind me of how stupid they can be sometimes.
This is about as dumb as "Let's reboot some of our titles like Hulk and Daredevil and Captain America, start them off as #1's, but still maintain the same continuity, basically rebooting for no real reason other than to spike sales with new #1's." At least DC gave a reason to reboot, and they did it with ALL their titles.

A:EMH is an awesome series. Im still trying to catch some of the episodes i misses with the reruns on DisneyXD. They should rather continue with A:EMH in my opinion.

The article doesn't say this, nor is it confirmed.

I wouldn't get too worried about it, I have a grain of salt ready though. :tsmile:

Finally something DC does better....

Sorry, but when it comes to movies: Make Mine Marvel.

I also say this, and it's totally unrelated, because 70's Hulk > 70's Wonder Woman.

I don't think I've ever liked anything that Loeb has created EVER. My friend said, and I must agree, that Loeb has the the subtlety of an atomic bomb in his writing.

I stay away from his work as a rule. Dammit.

You and IGN readers (and probably just about everybody else) must be on the same page:

Television was the only category were DC pulled out a victory over Marvel's offerings. I give Marvel some credit for making strides in their TV lineup of late, but it still falls eons behind the DC stable. I'm a little biased in favor of DC, but I'd argue that Marvel's popularity has a lot do with their film success, which turned almost obscure characters like Iron Man and Blade into widely recognizable franchises. DC, however, has dropped the ball when it has come to featuring their heroes in films (with one obvious exception). Either their heroes have been subject to lackluster (or just plain awful) movies that have weakened their brand and postponed sequels (Batman & Robin, Superman Returns, Catwoman, Green Lantern, Jonah Hex). Or else "Development Hell" has kept their less developed heroes from getting live-action films (Wonder Woman, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, etc.) And there's also a few films that actually focus on the "imprint" sub-branding of characters, which means most don't even realize they are connected to DC (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, Watchman, Constantine, etc.).

I wholeheartedly agree sir. Bill Bixby FTW!

There was a time where I tolerated Loeb. I liked his work on Batman/Superman because it was very "Saturday Morning" than the sort of grimdark that Marvel and DC were (and remain) obsessed with back in the 2000s. I also loved Spider-Man: Blue, aka one of few Spidey stories that could make Gwen Stacy interesting and celebrate Peter's love life rather than destabalise it. His son dying was what crippled him as a writer, and I suspect it's what's motivating his current modus operandi as executive of Marvel's television output...he just wants the kind of Saturday Morning fare his son probably enjoyed in the 80s and 90s, where things were "simpler" and self-contained, and where the heroes werent so "conflicted" and soapy all the time.

So the promo image for the next Avengers series has been released. Yay! Falcon!

I love the idea behind this I just hate how Leob is stunting the creative team. I even like the style of it. Yet again bad writing ruins something that could be awesome.

I prefer Dc in all honesty, but imo most super hero movies are sub-par..... I might have agreed with you a few years ago, but I am older and realizing how bad the spider-man movies were and the 1st hulk movie..... I haven't seen the new Marvel movie, but sounds like I need to.
My favorite super-hero movie, beside 1990 TMNT is The Dark Knight.
I think this summer might change my opinion though, I am really looking forward to the new spider-man flick and I am wondering if The new batman movie will be even better.

I kind of agree. Marvel's movies will (and do) age badly as the years go on, where as DC's movies like the original Superman and the Nolan Batverse are timeless works of cinema, their animated movies are also leauges better. I'd easily pick All-Star Superman and Under The Red Hood over The Avengers anyday.

Oh, well, at least Black Widow looks to be returning into a more active role in the team. However, I will miss this most recent version of Wasp & Ant Man; they have really been written well from the episodes I've seen thus far.

I don't know, most of the Superman sequels are f*cking awful, especially that Richard Pryor one, and are all horrendously dated. Most of the Batman movies haven't aged well either IMO, Jim Carrey's shtick as the Riddler has worn pretty thin. Other than that, what other movies has DC done? Green Lantern? Jonah Hex? Yeah, real timeless classics you got there.

I do agree with you about the first two Superman movies and the Nolan Batman movies however.

Ironman, Captain America, and Avengers have evened the movie playing field in my book. That's not counting the movies I like that some people may not agree with.

Agent X, the Marvel Animation insider who gave us the dirt on "Agents of S.M.A.S.H" and the notion the USM production team and writers are "dissatisfied" with working on the show, has claimed Avengers Assemble will no longer be set in the same universe as USM or S.M.A.S.H due to the negative feedback of USM.

Also, despite USM receiving a second season (which was always the plan), Marvel perceive the show as a flop and will be trying to correct the problems from the first season. This has already been teased by the promise of more ellaborate backstories for Spidey's teammates next season.

It also appears we're getting a new X-Men series somewhere down the line

http://www.marveltvnews.com/2012/06/...men-tv-series/

If they're fixing USM why not just keep it in the same continuity. Actually better question if they're not gonna sync up this new series with USM and Hulk, the entire purpose of the series as I recall, then why cancel EMH in the first place? A series that's already established, liked, and has people raging it's being canceled.

Apparently, the mysterious Morocco Mole "Agent X" and his Marvel TV News website has fallen under some scrutiny:

This is starting to feel like a cyber-soap opera.

This reminds me of a similar "insider" who popped up in 2008 proclaiming Joe Quesada's job was on the line. Marvel inevitably caught him out by leaking false information and he quietly dissapeared.

Man of Action have apparently confirmed the new show is a continuation of EMH.

The voice cast is all different, how could it be in continuity? If it was you'd think they would keep the same voice actors.

Bring on Falcon!

Just because the voice cast switches doesnt mean it's going to be a new continuity, I shouldnt have to remind you the old-school TMNT cartoon had a few VA departures, does that make any of those seasons non-canon?

I have to agree. Here's hoping they reappear!

"Can you say that again into my phone? I want to make it my ringtone."

Give me a f***ing break. You cancel EMH for this crap. I hate Loeb.

I would wait until the show airs before anyone say it's crap. I remember one guy who saw only clips of MLP: FiM and bashed it, leading everyone to strike back at the guy for not seeing enough of it.

What makes this show so different? "Because it's by the same people who made Ultimate Spider-Man"? That's a very stupid excuse, even considering that people here consider the show legitimately bad despite any opinion on it. That makes them a dogmatic, self-centered moron.

AEMH and Spectacular are gone. Get the **** over it. It's time to accept change, whether you like it or not.

While it's true certain superhero cartoons can get away with a degree of flippancy because they kept it relegated to brief moments. MLP has the flippnacy front and center because of it's light and fluffy nature. Shows like Ultimate Spider-Man do not lend themselves well to routine flippancy given the character's rich and complex comics history specialising in the dramatic and relatable "Parker Luck" issues, which have rarely if ever been on display in that cartoon...the same applies greatly to Avengers. People are tired of things being ironic and half-hearted in the delivery of the tone, we've seen better shows with better grasps on the characters, and they can make them function without the need to be culturally "on the pulse"

Don't tell us to "adapt to change", especially when the "change" is arguably for the worse and shows like the crap you blindly worship like a corporate sycophant have not instilled any great leaps of faith in us that other shows from the current creative direction of Marvel TV will be any different. I fully expect you'll slither back here and tell us all to enjoy Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H too, because how DARE anyone with a mind of their own and a frustration with the creative choices of this company dare speak out about it, we must all bend to your whims all to keep you from feeling silly and quite thick for liking this drivel.

Keep your yes-man blinders on and continue to be fed whatever mediocre s*it Disneyland supplies you with sheep. The rest of us will fight for quality.
