Honestly, other than the shitty, shitty theme song, this is looking to be the best thing Marvel's animation division has put out in, well, forever.





Heh, seriously, make sure to pay close attention to the mercenaries, awesome cameo.









 
They're not bad. Almost up to the Ultimate movies they put out earlier, but I still prefer the Super Hero Squad to this.

I've been enjoying these micro episodes, so far my favorites are the latest Hulk and Thor episodes.

I hope that the full length episodes will be as good.
 
Holy crap, did they get Downey Jr. to do the voice?! That's awesome. If it's not, goddamn it's a good impersonater.

I've only watched the first two thus far but I'm diggin' them. It's about time The Avengers get a proper animated show. I remember one in the nineties that didn't use Cap, Thor and Iron Man. It was led by Ant Man/Giant Man. To which I asked, why bother at all?

Edit 1: Heh, loved the cameos in the Ant Man episode. Also, I think that episode just proves that an Ant Man movie would be effing awesome. It'd be like The Incredibles meets Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Lol, the thing that most people are complaining about is the weak RDJ impression that the voice actor for Tony is doing. Personally I have agree with them, the voice for Tony just isn't working for me.
 
Part 8-13 or so



Man, this one is effing good. Lance Heinrikson (sp?) as Grim Reaper. Cool. MODOK looks fucking terrifying.







Jeffrey Combs is the fuckin' Leader? That is God damn awesome.



 
WW2, now with less Nazis and more Hydra:



Seriously, WTF...

Couldn't they just at least show a blank sign for the parts where they where showing the invasion of Europe and just use the Hydra banners for the secret base...
 
The show aired tonight!

Spoiler and I hope they make him more badass than the history of comics presents;

GRAVITON!!!

I like it! And I like the "shitty shitty theme song". I thought it was fresh and appropriate. Better than a poorly produced orchestral piece done on a keyboard.
 
It's still not Justice League good, and some of the writing is goofy, but I am absolutely stoked to see more forgotten/D-List Marvel villains get their day. They made Graviton the threat he always should be.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the actual show airs on Disney XD. The had a marathon of every episode so far yesterday.

I really like the first two episodes, I hope they manage to keep up the quality and pace in the rest of the season.

I´m in a dislike column regarding the theme song, it just doesn't work imo.

That's cool. Musical tastes are really varied. I did think it was funny, though. I saw this show for the first time yesterday. I hadn't read this thread yet, but I turned to my wife and said, "I kind of like this theme song. It has this air of 'something big is happening, but I've having all of these personal problems myself'" Which is cool, because that's what the show ended up being about. I think that sets it apart from the WB lineage. It's more character driven than story driven, and a lot of the characters, even the bad guys, have personal problems. (Though, honestly, that's what [originally] set Marvel off from DC anyway.). Right off the bat, they made SHIELD questionable, and made Graviton sympathetic.

Plus it had probably my all-time favorite villain when I was a kid--Absorbing Man!!
 
Just watched the second episode. I wonder if they will play up the economic impact of their super-villain fights. Graviton did what? Over a trillion dollars worth of damage in that fight? You would think that lethal force would be the primary method for all of these fights just to keep the economy from crumbling.
