History AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes / TropesAToE

* YouFailGeographyForever: Look closely at the scenes of Earth from space in the "Gamma World" two-parter episode. Apparently, Las Vegas and the American southwest are located in northeastern Canada.

** Madame Viper was major character in Skrull Saga, with the hints of DarkAndTroubledPast[[note]] it is implied that something horrible happened to her in the past, which gave her scars on her face and gave her the reason to hate people like Captain America[[/note]], and FoeYay between her and Captain America. Yet none of this is brought up ever again, with Cap and Viper becoming enemies in the episode "Along Came A Spider" with no acknowledgment of their [[FoeYay relationship]] in "Prisoner Of War". Also she becomes the leader of the Serpent Society in "Along Came A Spider" and escapes sewer with them in the sewers, but she is mysteriously absent when the Society was attacked and captured by Hank Pym in episode "Yellowjacket, with no mention of her and is never seen or heard again.

* AbsenteeActor: With a ten-man ensemble cast, this happens often. In a strange case, Thor was missing from the Black Panther's introduction episode; and the closest thing we got to an explanation in the episode itself is that Iron Man didn't know where he was, either. The episode "Masters of Evil" did offer an retroactive explanation, though--Thor didn't know the ID card's beeping was a sign for the Avengers to assemble (now if only we knew why he didn't take the hint when it started saying "AvengersAssemble!" in Tony's voice).

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Hank to Wasp in the episode "459".

* ArbitrarySkepticism: In the episode "459", Wasp doesn't initially believe in aliens. Norse gods, people made of living sound, guys being frozen in the Arctic for forty years, no problem. But aliens? That's just crazy. Hank holds on to his skepticism even longer, even as the evidence starts to pile up.

* BrickJoke: Happens to Hawkeye in the season 1 finale. Hawkeye innocuously punches a random inmate in the episode "Breakout Pt 1." At the end of the season, the man, Chemistro, still has a grudge against him for it and attacks him while Hawkeye's separated from the group.

[[folder: A]]

** [[spoiler: Amora's still captured.]]

** Abigail Brand's [[spoiler: implied alien ethnicity.]]

** Despite it being heavily foreshadowed, [[spoiler: we never see Simon Williams undergo his full redemption arc and become Wonder Man.]] Especially since we're not sure whether he was KilledOffForReal or not. Although [[spoiler:Simon]] can be seen in the far-background of [[AllThereInTheManual issue four of the Marvel Universe]] ''ComicBook/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' tie-in comic, alive, and as one of the Grandmaster's prisoners. He is presumably sent back to Earth with the other prisoners after the Grandmaster is done with them.

-->'''Chris Yost:'''...in true Marvel fashion, Avengers come and go, so [[spoiler: Thor]] was out of the picture except for a one-off in the first half of Season 2, then [[spoiler: Hulk]] was out for the majority of it until the end...every member of the team doesn't have to be in every episode.

* AdaptationDistillation: ''The Avengers: EMH'' takes a large amount of elements from most of the "greatest hits" of the Avengers franchise and the mainstream Marvel Universe as a whole. The line-up is the one of the ComicBook/FirstAvengersTeam by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, "Breakout" derives from the initial story-arc from ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'', ComicBook/IronMan and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]] are based partly on their [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU incarnations]], as are some of their villains, etc. Captain Marvel, [[spoiler: Skrull Captain America's costume]], and Nick Fury in the second season are taken from the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe. Many episodes were adaptions of specific comic book storylines, such as ComicBook/TheKangWar or the ComicBook/SecretInvasion. In general, ''all'' of the characters are a Greatest Hits version of various portrayals of them from the comics -- for instance, Hank Pym has been Ant-Man, Giant Man and Yellowjacket. Add to that an overload of cameos and continuity nods, and there is everything an Avengers fan may want; if there was something missing, that's just because there was not enough space.

* AllAccordingToPlan: The forces of the Leader captured Thor and took him to the Leader's base. Thor summoned his hammer, and fought against the Abomination until he retrieved it. He thought that, by retriving his hammer, he had won... but the Leader had calculated that, and was in fact expecting him to do that: the Absorbing Man, hidden as the floor, touch his hammer and absorved its power. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for the Leader, he did not have enough information about the hammer to know that this would be the Absorbing Man's downfall.]]

** “Masters Of Evil”: Hawkeye teams up with Black Panther [[spoiler: to give Ant-Man enough time in his lab for the BigDamnHeroes moment]] against a team full of the Avengers' enemies
** “Widow's Sting”: Hawkeye and Mockingbird team up to go after Hydra [[spoiler: Captain America and Black Panther provide this episode's BigDamnHeroes moment]]
** “Hail Hydra!”: Hawkeye,[[spoiler: Black Widow]], Black Panther, and Ant-Man

** “A Day Unlike Any Other”: [[spoiler: Until Iron Man shows up in his new armor]], a shield-less Captain America and Hawkeye are the last Avengers still fighting

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Ultron co-ops Tony's armor, making him fight the Avengers WITH HIM STILL IN THE ARMOR. He gets only a few brief moments where his com systems work to try and warn Thor that something has control of his armor.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: the Realm of Silence Loki is exiled to in “My Brother, My Enemy”, but then again Loki is such a Magnificent Bastard that it doesn't really faze him.]]
*** Which then carries over to [[spoiler: Loki's fate after his big plan fails at the season one finale. True to Norse mythology, he is trussed up and left in the care of a giant serpent which constantly [[EyeScream DRIPS VENOM INTO HIS EYES.]] Yikes.]]
*** [[spoiler: Nasty enough by itself, but remember - Loki's immortal. His eyes won't eventually lose their capacity to feel pain: nor can he escape by thirst, starvation or old age. He's there until Odin forgives him or until the world ends... and Odin isn't a particularly forgiving god.]]

-->'''Wasp:''' I thought you said it ''wasn't'' aliens?
-->'''Ant Man:''' I [[ExactWords never said]] it wasn't an ''alien robot''.

** Comicbook/BlackWidow to Hawkeye [[spoiler: until she revealed she was working for Nick Fury. Afterwards, they shared a kiss.]]

-->What do you want with me? Who are you working for? And ''why'' would you combine green and yellow with your skintone?

-->'''Iron Man:''' Avengers, Assemble!
-->'''Ant Man:''' We're all ''right here''.
-->'''Iron Man:''' ...

** The [[spoiler: Captain America]] imposter says, "Avengers, Attack!" instead.

-->'''Wasp:''' Avengers, assemble...but only the human ones!

[[folder: B]]

* TheBaroness: Viper always fit this role, but in this version has a tendency to pull grenade pins with her tongue. Which is appropriate, as the TropeNamer [[GIJoe Baroness]] was based on Viper to begin with. [[spoiler: The bit about being a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Skrull]] is new, though.]]

* BattleDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: When the Skrull appears and aims Captain America with his futuristic gun the camera goes outside the room and we only see a flash of light in the window.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: Several of the villains have their own agendas, notably Baron Strucker, Baron Zemo, the Leader, Kang, and [[spoiler: Ultron]]. The presence of an overarching BigBad is built up throughout the season, however, and it's ultimately revealed to be [[spoiler: Loki, who was directly or indirectly responsible for just about everything except Kang and Ultron]].

** "Hail, Hydra!": [[spoiler: Black Widow's]] name has been cleared, at least among the Avengers, and the HYDRA-AIM war has been stopped, but Widow still has to leave Hawkeye behind, much to their despair, and Maria Hill is now hell-bent on pressing the Avengers into SHIELD membership.
** "A Day Unlike Any Other": [[spoiler: Loki]] and the other villains are defeated, the Nine Realms are saved, but Cap's shield was destroyed, Thor stays in Asgard, Hank is ready to quit, and Cap is [[spoiler: replaced by a Skrull.]]
** "Michael Korvac": The [[spoiler: titular]] antagonist has been stopped, but only after traumatizing and scaring the woman he loves, and even then, he appears to have exiled himself to another plane of existence entirely in a massive HeroicBSOD. What's worse, Peter Quill implies that horrible stories like this are regularly encountered by the Guardians. On a meta-example, the episode was dedicated to Boyd Kirkland - "Friend, Father, Director, Avenger," and the credits played in silence.

* BreakingTheFellowship: [[spoiler: After the reveal that Skrulls are on Earth, the Avengers splinter, with Iron Man, Ms. Marvel and Black Panther leaving out of mistrust and fear for the others. All that's left of the official Avengers at the time are Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Wasp.]]
** [[spoiler: And not long after that, Skrull!Cap takes advantage of the Red Hulk's rampage to get Hulk out of the picture, making it a team of ''three''.]]

--> '''Chemistro:''' How can you not remember who I am!? You punched me in the face!
--> '''Hawkeye:''' That doesn't really narrow it down, pal.

[[folder: C]]

* TheChessmaster: The Leader, Loki, and [[spoiler: Ultron]].
** [[spoiler: Season Two: Queen Veranke, Red Skull, and Ultron, again]]

* CliffHanger: [[spoiler: Cap getting replaced by a Skrull at the end of Season One.]]
** [[spoiler: There's a mid-season one with the U.S. broadcast of season two where Nick Fury tells Iron Man his team has been infiltrated by a Skrull, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, and Black Panther leave the team, and it's revealed that Mockingbird had been replaced by Queen Veranke some time after her first appearance.]]

** [[spoiler: Red Hulk, Winter Soldier, Doc Samson, and Falcon to Red Skull, although the latter three were brainwashed.]]

* ContinuityCameo: Cap's micro-episode features a new member of the Howling Commandos.
-->'''[[IdenticalGrandson Jack Fury]]:''' Howlett! We need recon!\\
'''[[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} James Howlett]]:''' I'm workin' on it, bub!
** [[WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1978 HERBIE]] passes by as Hank Pym and Reed Richards study [[spoiler: Princess Ravonna]] during one of the last scenes of "The Kang Dynasty."

[[folder: D]]

* DeusExitMachina: Invoked by the Masters of Evil, who send Hulk to Jötunheimr to fight the Jötun (Frost Giants) so he can't cause a CurbStompBattle. [[spoiler: It does keep him out the way, until Thor opens a portal to bring him back, and he stomps through covered in snow, carrying a big ice club, and ''pissed''.]]

[[folder: E]]

** In "Meet Captain America", we meet James Howlett, [[spoiler: who most fans know as {{Wolverine}}.]]

* EndOfSeriesAwareness: "Avengers Assemble" begins with Tony asking Steve if he ever wonders how the Avengers will go down in history, prompting this exchange:
-->'''Steve:''' This is only the second time I've heard you use the word, "history."
-->'''Tony:''' That's because I've never been able to imagine a world without me in it...until recently.

-->'''Captain America:''' You wanted to know how history will remember the Avengers, Iron Man? Well, here's your answer.

-->'''Doctor Doom''': "Miss Van Dyne, I am not some common criminal that can be distracted by your prattling. You are nothing to Doom, and your pathetic attempts to play mind games with me amount to exactly less than nothing. So please, stop embarrassing yourself."

** And later, [[spoiler: Loki's FateWorseThanDeath]].

** [[Comicbook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers/Ms.Marvel]] also becomes an Avenger early in the second season, despite not joining the team until issue #183 in the comics.

* ActionGirl: A significant amount of women in the series are action girls, heroes, villains and SHIELD agents (even Jane Foster, within her context; that's why Thor likes her).

** In the original comics, Black Panther didn't join the team until ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'' #52, long after Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} joined the team in ''The Avengers'' #16. In this adaptation, he appears within the first few episodes, while Hawkeye doesn't end up joining the team until after Black Panther.

** Comicbook/{{Ultron}} originally debuted in ''The Avengers'' #54, where he was created by Hank Pym, who had long since retired his original Comicbook/AntMan identity in favor of the name Goliath. The cartoon instead introduces Ultron in the fourth episode, where he is the creation of a less-experienced Hank Pym who is still using the Ant-Man name. Ultron goes on to serve as a minor recurring character before finally becoming a major villain in the the twenty-third episode.
** [[Comicbook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]] also becomes an Avenger early in the season, despite not joining the team until issue #183 in the comics.
** Graviton made his first appearance in ''The Avengers'' #158, many years after the team was established. In the TV show, he's the main antagonist of the two-part series premier, effectively serving as the first major villain the Avengers have to face as a team.
** Comicbook/SpiderMan, Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}, Comicbook/LukeCage and Comicbook/IronFist all join the Comicbook/NewAvengers in the second season, even though in the comics, that group wasn't formed until many years after the debut of the original team. [[Comicbook/FantasticFour The Thing]] and Comicbook/WarMachine, both of whom joined the West Coast Avengers in TheEighties, are also part of the show's version of the New Avengers.

* AdaptationDistillation: The show takes a little bit from most of the "greatest hits" of the Avengers franchise. The line-up is the one of the ComicBook/FirstAvengersTeam by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the "Breakout" story-arc derives from the initial story-arc from ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'', ComicBook/IronMan and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]] are based partly on their [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movie incarnations]], as are a number of their villains, etc. Captain Marvel, Captain America's second costume and Nick Fury in the second season are taken from the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe. Many episodes were adaptions of specific comic book storylines, such as ComicBook/TheKangWar or the ComicBook/SecretInvasion. In general, ''all'' of the characters are a Greatest Hits version of various portrayals of them from the comics -- for instance, Hank Pym has been Ant-Man, Giant Man and Yellowjacket. Add to that an overload of cameos and continuity nods, and there is everything an Avengers fan may want; if there was something missing, that's just because there was not enough space.

*** Which then carries over to [[spoiler: Loki's fate after his big plan fails at the season one finale . True to Norse mythology, he is trussed up and left in the care of a giant serpent which constantly [[EyeScream DRIPS VENOM INTO HIS EYES.]] Yikes.]]

** The other plot threads that were never fully resolved thanks to the canceling of the show include Captain America's arrangement with Hela, Hulk's eventual return to the team, capturing the last of the breakout villains, Stark industries's woes, and Ronan the Accuser escaping custody.
* AbsenteeActor: With a ten-man ensemble cast, this happens often. In a strange case, Thor was missing from the Black Panther's introduction episode; and the closest thing we got to an explanation in the episode itself is that Iron Man didn't know where he was, either. The episode, "Masters of Evil", did offer an retroactive explanation, though--Thor didn't know the ID card's beeping was a sign for the Avengers to assemble (now if only we knew why he didn't take the hint when it started saying "AvengersAssemble!" in Tony's voice).
** The absences of season 2 are justified, however, as the roster grew and shrank constantly.

* ActionGirl: All the women in the series are action girls, heroes, villains and SHIELD agents (even Jane Foster, within her context; that's why Thor likes her).

** Gamma World Pt. 2: The Hulk has to join Hawkeye to go up against the villain (and rescue Thor)
** Masters Of Evil: Hawkeye teams up with Black Panther [[spoiler: to give Ant-Man enough time in his lab for the BigDamnHeroes moment]] against a team full of the Avengers' enemies
** Widow's Sting: Hawkeye and Mockingbird team up to go after Hydra [[spoiler: Captain America and Black Panther provide this episode's BigDamnHeroes moment]]
** Hail Hydra!: Hawkeye,[[spoiler: Black Widow]], Black Panther, and Ant-Man
** The Fall of Asgard: Hawkeye and an elf from one of the realms
** A Day Unlike Any Other: [[spoiler: Until Iron Man shows up in his new armor]], a shield-less Captain America and Hawkeye are the last Avengers still fighting

* AnachronicOrder: The fifth volume of Disney's [=DVDs=] plays [[http://marvel.toonzone.net/news.php?action=fullnews&id=844 some season 2 episodes]] in production order:

** Also, [[spoiler: the Realm of Silence Loki is exiled to in Thor's episode, but then again Loki is such a Magnificent Bastard that it doesn't really faze him.]]
*** Which then carries over to [[spoiler: Loki's fate after his big plan fails at the end of Season 1. True to Norse mythology, he is trussed up and left in the care of a giant serpent which constantly [[EyeScream DRIPS VENOM INTO HIS EYES.]] Yikes.]]

* YouFailGeographyForever: Look closely at the scenes of Earth from space in the "Gamma World" episodes. Apparently, Las Vegas and the American southwest are located in northeastern Canada.

* CanonImmigrant: The show uses JARVIS, Tony Stark's advanced AI program from the live-action Iron Man movies, instead of Edwin Jarvis, the Avengers' butler from the comics.

** Prison 42 on the other hand is currently working well as the new super villain prison. [[TemptingFate We'll see if that lasts in season 2.]]
*** Happens in "Assault on 42". [[SubvertedTrope Kinda]]. It's actually attacked from the outside by a horde of unstoppable alien insectoids who can eat through metal like it actually ''is'' cardboard. [[spoiler:The prisoners are actually let out to help fight them off.]] In fact the prison was ''so'' [[TheAlcatraz effective]] dialogue in later episodes reveals the new Hydro-Base prison is just temporary until 42 is repaired.

** Also note that season 1 has a Y rating (everyone of all ages can watch), while season 2 bears a Y7 stamp (children six years old and younger probably shouldn't watch).

** [[spoiler: Season 2: Queen Veranke, Red Skull, and Ultron, again]]

* CliffHanger: [[spoiler: Cap getting replaced by a Skrull at the end of Season 1.]]
** [[spoiler: There's a mid-season one with the U.S. broadcast of season 2 where Nick Fury tells Iron Man his team has been infiltrated by a Skrull, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, and Black Panther leave the team, and it's revealed that Mockingbird had been replaced by Queen Veranke some time after her first appearance.]]

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Tony Stark was designed to look like Creator/RobertDowneyJr and even sounds like him. People often say that it sounds like Eric Loomis is doing an impression of RDJ. [[http://marvel.com/news/story/15715/the_avengers_earths_mightiest_heroes_voicing_iron_man Turns out that's Loomis's normal voice]].

** ComicBook/NickFury is black like the Ultimates and Cinematic incarnations of the character but has hair identical to the modern 616 version, at least until the second season, where he looks more like his "[[Creator/SamuelLJackson Jacksonian]]" incarnations.

** Carol Danvers mentioned that, in the airforce, her codename was "Warbird". In comics, she took the name Warbird during Kurt Busiek's run, and returned to Ms. Marvel during Bendis' run.

* DeathByOriginStory

** ComicBook/NickFury is split into two characters: Jack Fury, Nick's [[IdenticalGrandson identical grandfather]] who led the ComicBook/HowlingCommandos in World War 2; and Nick Fury, the 21st century super-spy who serves as the director of SHIELD. [[note]] In the comics, Nick Fury was both--he actually did serve in UsefulNotes/WorldWar2, but ComicBookTime eventually forced the writers to establish that he took anti-aging drugs to explain how he was still alive six decades after the war ended.[[/note]]

** The first season episode "Masters of Evil" also has a plot like this.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Hank and Janet's conversation in "''To Steal An Ant-Man''" about him leaving the Avengers sounds a lot like a typical breakup talk. Given who we're talking about, this is almost absolutely deliberate.

* EmpathyDollShot: Thor finds a doll amongst the rubble in the devastated future shown in "The Man Who Stole Tomorrow"

* EnemyCivilWar: Between AIM and HYDRA in "Hail, Hydra!".

* BerserkButton: MODOK is a bit touchy when someone starts making fun of his big giant head...which Thor and Wasp [[CrowningMomentOfFunny do continuously when they first see him]].

* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: Wasp's stings. Usually annoying BeamSpam, occasionally armor-piercingly powerful. During the five-part pilot, she manages to whip off a blast that cuts cargo containers in half (cargo containers that were being thrown through the air right at her). It didn't even seem to be a matter of concentration or energy use, because she went right back to her normal BeamSpam right afterward.

* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: Wasp's stings. Usually annoying BeamSpam, occasionally armor-piercingly powerful. During the five-part pilot, she manages to whip off a blast that cut a railroad car in half (a railroad car that was being thrown through the air right at her). It didn't even seem to be a matter of concentration or energy use, because she went right back to her normal BeamSpam right afterward.

* AdaptationalBadass: This show gives us several examples. The more notable ones being Wasp and Grim Reaper.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics Hank Pym has blonde hair. In the animated series however his hair is more dirty blonde to light brown rather than straight up blonde (probably to help him stand out against the very blonde Thor, Hawkeye and Captain America when masks come off).

** ComicBook/NickFury is split into two characters: Jack Fury, Nick's [[IdenticalGrandson identical grandfather]] who led the HowlingCommandos in World War 2; and Nick Fury, the 21st century super-spy who serves as the director of SHIELD. [[note]] In the comics, Nick Fury was both--he actually did serve in UsefulNotes/WorldWar2, but ComicBookTime eventually forced the writers to establish that he took anti-aging drugs to explain how he was still alive six decades after the war ended.[[/note]]

** [[spoiler:Kang's]] final episode never resolved his main arc. Although the [[''ComicBook/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' tie-in comic]] lends some closure to [[spoiler:him and Ravonna. Unfortunately for them, it's a ''massive'' DownerEnding since they are both trapped in Ancient Egypt with no way out, which should potentially erase their future time period completely.]]

** [[spoiler:Kang's]] final episode never resolved his main arc, but it will have to do as a conclusion to his story.
*** What happened to his minions?

** Despite it being heavily foreshadowed, [[spoiler: we never see Simon Williams undergo his full redemption arc and become Wonder Man.]] Especially since we're not sure whether he was KilledOffForReal or not.
*** Simon can be seen in the far-background of [[AllThereInTheManual issue four of the Marvel Universe]] ''ComicBook/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' tie-in comic, alive, and as one of the Grandmaster's prisoners. He is presumably sent back to Earth with the other prisoners after the Grandmaster is done with them.

** Maria Hill's efforts to start a SuperRegistrationAct haven't come up since episode 28.

* DVDCommentary: The final volume of Disney's [=DVDs=] has at least one commentary performed by the voice actors of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk, in character.

* CastingGag: Creator/ScottMenville plays the very [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Robin-like]] ComicBook/BuckyBarnes.

* AnachronismStew: Sort of, as the series depict the [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCityCops NYPD]] is 1960s-1970s style uniforms despite otherwise modern items being around.

* AdaptationalBadass This show gives us several examples. The more notable ones being Wasp and Grim Reaper.

** Not too surprising, since Kang (like his thematic opposite, Captain America) is a OneManArmy. Kang (or at least his MarvelComics analog) visits other times and dimensions and devastates entire planets not ForTheEvulz but to ''perfect his art.''

** ComicBook/NickFury is split into two characters: Jack Fury, Nick's [[IdenticalGrandson identical grandfather]] who led the HowlingCommandos in World War 2; and Nick Fury, the 21st century super-spy who serves as the director of SHIELD. [[note]] In the comics, Nick Fury was both--he actually did serve in WorldWar2, but ComicBookTime eventually forced the writers to establish that he took anti-aging drugs to explain how he was still alive six decades after the war ended.[[/note]]
