Well I finally finished watching A:EMH, I started watching it as it aired but never got around to the second season after the long hiatus. So it had been like 2 years since I had seen the first season. I had already heard that it wasn't as good as the first and I wonder if that affected my opinion.
I remember S1 while not being as great as Young Justice, it was still a great fun action show with a lot of charm. And while I still had a blast watching the second season I did feel like something was missing. Also since it had been so long since I had watched the first season I didn't remember many of the remaining story arcs they left for Season 2 and the "previously on" segments are so random I don't think they ever helped me, I wasn't lost but I do feel maybe it would've helped the enjoyment. I didn't feel the interactions were as strong this time around and some of my favorite characters didn't get as many great moments, I missed some of the charm Wasp had in S2.
The pace of the show is indeed very fast and it has pros and cons, I do love that it's a Marvel 101 class in only 52 episodes they go through decades of Marvel stories, but it also makes you want to see more of specific parts of the "timeline", I mean by the end of the show how many Avenger members were there? They gave them out like candy every other episode, I know it was done to have all the major Avengers in the comics get their spotlight in the show but it makes it feel rushed when the run is only 52 episodes and not hundreds and hundreds of comics. I love all the references it has and I'm sure it has many more that I just don't get, and again it just goes too fast sadly. Too bad the show couldn't last longer, after all the original order was 52 episodes so it only got one run even if it was later divided into "two" seasons.
And with this show we finished the short run of great Marvel cartoons that we had. Such a shame since the Disney acquisition we're back to bad Marvel shows.

I also recommend watching the "Thor Vs. Hulk" DVD movie, its in continuity with the series and takes place right before it. The same DVD also has "Wolverine Vs. The Hulk" and that special takes place with Wolverine and the X-men.

Yes, so officially this universe is officially with Wolverine and the X-Men and that movie. I wonder if there are others of the "Marvel DTVs" that fit in this universe "unofficially", most of them fit better with the "Ultimate Avengers" DVD continuity. Also I'm willing to bend a little and make the 2000's Fantastic Four:EGH show in continuity, it was a great take on FF and besides Doom being portrayed terribly there it doesn't fit without many problems. I can also see this spider-man being an older version of Spectacular Spider-Man just for the sake of having all the other separate recent Marvel cartoons in one universe. What can I say I like my continuity convoluted.
