Marvel's Avengers Assemble

Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks the audio is weird. I actually quite like the show but I can't watch it because the background music is mixed weirdly and drowns out the mumbled dialogue.

First season is now on Netflix.

Maybe the Cabal in the next season would expand its membership, including;

• Zeke Stane, preferably resembling his Rise of Technovore incarnation with similar powers.
• And to reference the Avengers Confidential movie's "buyers" of the supersoldier things, also include Graviton and Count Nefaria.

Nice!

....Wait. The episodes are out of order? FUUUUUUUUUU.....

Hate to bring this up again, but has anyone worked out a timeline between the three series.

In order.

Ultimate Spider-Man Season 1 & first half of season two

Ultimate Spider-man season 2 (second half) and the first 9 episodes of Avengers Assemble run concurrently

Ultimate Spider-Man season 3 premiere takes place after Attuma tries to flood New York, but before he joins the Cabal. Putting the first two episodes of season 3 between episodes 9 and 13 of Avengers Assemble.

Apparently Hulk and the Agents of SMASH takes place a couple years later.

Seeing as how i'm not watching any of those shows, can anyone tell me how consistant the writing is, if they all take place in the same world? Any major inconsistencies?

It depends. There's several one-shot stories through out the season, which aren't really worth watching. One in particular (One Little Thing) is puerile comedy episode with no villain or plot other than relying on humor. It's the one with Ant Man. I do not recommend watching it.

Despite that, the ongoing storyline is decent. The villains start out as a moderate threat, but as the season goes on it becomes a little less mundane and they become more cohesive with their goals and serve as a worthy opponent to the Avengers.

If you ever intend to watch the series, don't expect drama to linger very long, and there's plenty of food humor that can get old really fast.

I'm rewatching the first season on a 60 inch television with surround-sound speakers.

Surprisingly, it makes it 50% more intense; almost like a movie in theaters.

I don't know if this is a typo, but Avengers Assemble is apparently already renewed for a third season.

That was fast.

Does this show still suck?

Yes

I think this first season was great.

Planet Hulk means World War Hulk is not long in coming. And WWH was terrible. -_-

Bump

Just thought I'd add the question here. Did anyone else consider Falcon's major injury in Exodus to be Narm?

I just watched the first two episodes and...eh??????

The story was rushed and it was quite annoying how the characters constantly talked about something which happened in the past.

Has the Hulk no human form?

Why is the Black Widow constantly absent?

But mostly: Iron man as the leader doesn't really fly with me, not as long as the Cap is around.

Hulk has no human form because nobody cares about lame ol' Bruce Banner.

Black Widow isn't around much because girls are icky and boys don't want to watch shows with girls in them.

At least, that's what Loeb thinks.

And Iron Man and not Cap is the leader because he has more movies and Robert Downey Jr. is better liked than Chris Evans, that's why.

I know...but it's BS nevertheless. Even in the movies Steve is the leader and not Tony, for a really good reason: Tony Stark is barely able to work in a team and likes to offload responsibilities he doesn't care about, he is certainly not leader material. The only other avenger I can kind of see in the role is Thor, but he has already too many responsibilities on Asgard. Bruce is too insecure, and while Clint and Natascha are certainly able to lead a team, they don't trust their own morals enough to assume the leader position ahead of the Cap, plus they generally like working from the shadows.

Well, for all the cartoon tries desperately to ape the movie's sensibility (god, that Impossible Man episode), it really doesn't beyond a facade. I thought the whole point with the movie Avengers were they just couldn't be a really permanently cohesive team; they seem to be fated to rejoin only when they all are pulled into the same major crisis. While the cartoon Avengers are basically an 80s superhero team with a 2010s surface makeover.

I think the point of the movie Avengers is more that heroes or not, they are also real persons and therefore not always automatically on the same page, especially not at a point when they barely know each other.

So is the whole show this way? Because it comes over as really, really dated.
