YMMV / All-New, All-Different Avengers

Go To

  • Broken Base:
    • There are a significant number of longtime Avengers fans who resent that the new team is almost entirely made up of Affirmative-Action Legacy characters like Miles Morales, Kamala Khan, and Sam Alexander, to the point where those fans have given it the derisive nickname of "Social Justice Avengers". On the other hand, nearly every character on the new lineup has their own fanbase.
    • The writing team has included several jabs at the people complaining about Affirmative-Action Legacy. Some find them funny or encouraging, while others find them distracting or annoying, particularly if they are amongst the people being mocked.
    • To a lesser degree, there's been some division among Kamala Khan's fans about whether or not she's being promoted to the Avengers too quickly. Some fans worry that having her as an Avenger might affect her own book, where a large part of the appeal was her hometown heroics. Other fans welcome the publicity that her new status might bring.
    • Marvel decided to play with the shipping between Kamala and both Sam and Miles. The shippers are happy, but others are worried that the shipping will dominate the storylines, reduce Kamala to prize to be won by one of the two or negatively affect her own series. The fact that writers of both Nova and Spider-Man decided to dedicate entire issues to addressing the shipping between her and their respective protagonist does not help. Then there are fans afraid things will escalate into Ship-to-Ship Combat.
    • Some like the Lighter and Softer tone of the series compared to the Darker and Edgier tone the Avengers had gone through for years. Others feel like it's a high school drama, complete with the student-teacher vibe coming from the older heroes mentoring the younger ones.
    • The new teenaged Wasp, Nadia Van Dyne, joining the team in issue #9. While readers are happy about another female character joining the team, Janet van Dyne fans in particular are upset that Janet is not being used instead given how underutilized she has been. It also doesn't help that Nadia's introduction screams The Mole.
    • The fact that the "Champions" advertisements and future "Avengers" advertisements show that the teen members of the team are essentially pulling a "Screw This, I'm Outta Here" and Start My Own in the aftermath of Civil War II (and several instances of Broken Pedestal) just pile up more fuel to the Tony-and-Carol-hatred fire that the latter event has started up (or more fuel to the fire that started to burn all the way back on the first Civil War, for some people).
  • Heartwarming Moments: In issue #12, Janet van Dyne bonds with Nadia Pym and basically acts like a surrogate parent for the young girl. Issue 14, set only six hours later, is a whole issue of this. After all, Janet is Nadia's stepmother, so she's not just a surrogate.
    • After getting himself kicked out of the Avengers trying to stick up for Ms. Marvel, Nova finally confesses that Warmongerer's presence on Earth was mostly his fault. After spending most of the series being haunted by this secret and outright blackmailed by Vision about it, Kamala helps him get over it by telling him villains pulling Roaring Rampage of Revenge more or less comes with the job. These two moments come after several issues of the two constantly bickering making it that much sweeter.
