You Maniacs! You blew it up!

Alot of people will call me a pissed off fanboy when they comment on this review...And I am, but that doesn't stop this show from sucking. Any show that would come after Earth's Mightiest Heroes would have a tough act to follow, and in AA's case it certainly wasn't helped that EMH was cancelled solely to put this shit on the air.

So EMH was cancelled in order to bring in this show with worse animation, worse character designs, worse voice actors, worse plots and missing some of the most loved characters of the last show like Wasp. Oh but it's okay, this show has the Falcon...Oh, fucking joy. One of the main weaknesses this has compared to it's predecessor is that it focuses almost entirely on the cinematic universe and elements like it. And while I do really enjoy the Avengers movie, EMH kicked ass because it was able to draw on 70+ years of storylines and characters, and even pay homage to classic stories by the likes of Jack Kirby.

Also the series does seem to draw influence from the Ultimate Comics as well, which is a real pet peeve of mine. Seriously, fuck the Ultimate comics, they're a cancer that's spreading into all the good parts of the Marvel universe.

So, the heroes are a bunch of dickbags to each other, they all fill typical archetypes, the plot twists were pretty damn predictable. Animation is more or less the exact same thing you'd see in Ultimate Spiderman, which isn't a strong point trust me.

Honestly it's just a really bad show, and a huge insult to the fans of EMH. Hell, I'd even say it's an insult to the people who preferred the cinematic universe. This show lacks the awesome effort and acting that made the movie so good. This is just your typical Saturday morning cartoon shit, with no depth or complexity to it in the slightest. Avengers United They Stand is on par with this garbage.

Fuck this show and the people who greenlit it. Marvel animation is going straight down the toilet again.

Well, according with Jeph Loeb, this is what kids want...

If they wanted a kiddy Marvel cartoon, they should have brought back Super Hero Squad. Super Hero Squad was the best.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.

Anything Jeph Loeb says is just...ugh. It's always wrong, man, it's always wrong.

Honestly, I disagree about the Ultimate Comics; sure, they started to get lame lastly with Ultimatum, but they still had some good concept in them occasionnally. In fact, in case you forgot, EMH took inspiration from them too.

On the other hand, I do agree this show is disappointing. I believe it's too soon to classify it as THAT bad, but yeah, this pilote was unimpressive, and Falcon is a poor replacement to awesome character like Wasp, Ant-man or Black Panther.

I would also like to know the logic behind using Red Skull as the main Big Bad, and the leader of a Legion Of Doom to boot, when it's a quite etablished fact that he is hated even by other Marvel villains...

The animation is so bad every time I see Black Widow she scares me. I have started to think that the people behind this show have never seen a girl. I don't know in what comic it was but I have seen half of the poses and shots in the pilot. And the story is just people punching each other for no good reason. Clearly what kids want is to see good people punching other good people. Yay Disney!

It's a fact..

Seeing people shout out such immature things like this makes me realize how pathetic a lot of the haters are for these shows.
