History AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes / TropesQToV

* TruerToTheText: ''The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!'' is the most faithful adaptation of the Creator/MarvelComics series as well as the superhero team ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' and the mainstream (both original and modern) Marvel Universe in general in comparison to most of the Marvel adaptations that have been created before the show.

* TimeTravel: Kang the Conqueror, the Master of Time, is from the 41st century. He tries to SetRightWhatOnceWasWrong (in his own eyes) by traveling back in time to destroy Captain America. His story arc includes a TemporalParadox with the Avengers trying to prevent the [[spoiler:Kree-Skrull war from laying waste to the entire planet, but to do so, (according to Kang), Captain America must die]].

* ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: During the Skrull invasion, the Skrulls begin to attack with hacked satellites. So, Thor goes to the sky and destroys them all. The problem is that there are satellites all around the globe, and the visuals make it seem as if they were all a few blocks of distance of each other

* SexyWalk: Black Widow and Maria Hill both get on this.

* TooDumbToLive: Really, Absorbing Man? He puts a dent in your metal body, and you decide that turning to rock will be the best way to fight [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk the Hulk]]? But then again was dumb enough to pick a fight with the Hulk to begin with, so honestly it isn't surprising that Absorbing Man made such a glaring tactical error.

** [[BerserkButton Oh, and don't hurt Janet.]]

* TragicIntangibility: Kang reaches to touch his beloved in "Captain America Appears!" only to find his hand move through her as she begins to fade out of his existence. He tries to touch her face again at the beginning of "The Man Who Stole Tomorrow," only to feel nothing and redouble his determination to keep his future from being destroyed.

** The Avengers and the Masters of Evil running towards each other in a flash of light feels reminiscent of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Challenge of the Superfriends]]'', as well as the opening to the 90's ''WesternAnimation/XMen''.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: In a total inversion of both the trope and sister series ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'', top movie seller ComicBook/IronMan is not the center of the action, and instead seems to exist purely to make mistakes that leave every other team member looking better. Interesting.

* TailorMadePrison: SHIELD invokes four of these, each holding different types of villains:
** The Cube is specialized in holding radiation-based villains, like The Abomination and The Leader.
** The Big House is a prison shrunk by Pym Patricles and kepts with the SHIELD Helicarrier. It is especially used as a rehabilitation center and has Ultron sentries and inhibitor devices to keep them in line. Inmates include Mandrill and Whirlwind.
** The Vault holds technology-based villains and confiscate their gear, such as Blizzard and MODOC.
** The Raft is an ubderwater facility, disguised as a ship barge, that holds the worst villains, such as Baron Zemo and Graviton.
*** After the breakout of all four prisons, Hank and Reed Richards made Prison 42 to hold them all inside the Negative Zone in case another breakout accorded. After it was decommissioned following the attack from the Zone's Annihilus, a new underwater prison called the Hydro-Base was made as a substitute.

* TakeThat: Possibly one to ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'': "I told you never to call me Power Man, Danny."
** However, when Cage got a solo series again for the first time after ''[[ComicBook/HeroesForHire Power Man and Iron Fist]]'' ended, he went back to just being Luke Cage, and really did correct everyone who tried to call him by his old name. ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' is the odd one out for bring the name ''back'' for the first time in decades.

* RaceLift: Princess Ravonna is portrayed as a white redhead in the comics. In this adaptation, she has black hair and very dark skin. [[AmbiguouslyBrown Her exact race is difficult to pin down based on her features]], but she definitely isn't white.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: In "The Fall of Asgard," Captain America finds himself in Hel, taunted by visions of his comrades from World War II, and almost believes them to be real -- until he asks why Bucky isn't there. Cap doesn't know it yet, but thanks to the Cosmic Cube related shenanigans in "Hail, Hydra!" Bucky survived. What ''should'' tip him off is that among the ghosts is James Howlett, who of course is alive and well as Wolverine, but Cap doesn't know ''that'' either.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: In a total inversion of both the trope and sister series ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'', top movie seller ComicBook/IronMan is not the center of the action, and instead seems to exist purely to make mistakes that leave every other team member looking better. Interesting.

* TheVerse: ''The Avengers: EMH'' is set in the Christopher Yost Animated Universe (which also consists of ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and the ''WesternAnimation/HulkVs'' movies).

* ScienceIsBad: Thor holds this view (and he can be forgiven considering some scientific monstrosities such as the massively deformed head known as MODOC), though the show as a whole avoids it as it has a scientist and a TechnoWizard as some of the heroes (Pym and Stark, and you can add Banner on the rare occasions he's not the Hulk). When facing one set of monsters, Giant-Man refutes Thor's view and states that science didn't make the monsters, ''people'' did using science ''very irresponsibly''. Iron Man is also quick to gloat to Thor when magic turns out to be NotSoDifferent and is abused just as easily; after which Thor opens up a little to the idea of technology being helpful.

*** The second season premiere even references the story where Doom shot the Baxter Building into space.

'''Hawkeye:''' Did you just say it was easy? [[{{GenreSavvy}} You]] ''[[{{GenreSavvy}} never]]'' [[{{GenreSavvy}} say it's easy.]]\\

* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Jarvis was uploaded into Vision in Emperor Stark, they spent most of the episode speaking like this, Although, they could both still speak independently.

** Also, [[spoiler:Hank Pym]] during the course of season 2.

** Subverted Again Post season 1 [[spoiler:when Hank Pym leaves the team and remains off the team long after he finally makes an appearance in season 2. He even goes so far as to completely give up his Ant-Man equipment to Scott Lang.]]

* ViewersAreGoldfish: Season 2 got pretty bad at this. The redone opening is way more expository, the previews go out of their way to remind viewers of the simplest facts from previous episodes, and the first ten minutes are a recap of the team to the person who most wouldn't need it.
