Avengers Assemble

[TurtleTitan97]

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:

Spoiler:

-The show will start with the movie line-up. Which means Iron-man, Cap, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and widow.

- The show will be sharing the same universe of the current Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and the upcoming Hulk Agents of SMASH.

- Ant-man will join the team later on the series.

- The animation will be a big selling point for the show. and will be made by MAS (the newly formed Marvel animation studio)

- The show will not be a continuation of the current Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

- One of the big villains of the show will be Thanos, in order to promote the character for kids since he is rumored to feature in the second avengers movie.

Thoughts?

**** this!

[LeoNerdo]

Uggghhhhhhhhhhh WHY??!!!

EHM is frickin great.

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

This sounds bad to me.

[ZariusTwo]

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...

[TurtleTitan97]

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.

[Raphael86]

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

Spoiler:

Like Rob Paulsen as Batroc The Leaper or the cameo by the Super Hero Squad..

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.

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.
