The Avengers EMHs/Avengers Assemble

[Hellspawn28]

It looks like they plan to do a season two soon with characters like Doctor Doom and Ghost Rider. I was bored last night and some more episodes of this show on Disney XD, I grow to like it more. I might buy it on DVD if it's on sale.

Yeah, which I'm super psyched about and I think Spider-man is suppose to be there too. But what interests me is that Nighthawk is suppose to make an appearance and Kevin Conroy is suppose to be voice him. So does that mean we got a possible Squadron Supreme or Sinister in the works? :3

I hear that this series also sheres the same universe with the recent Spider-Man cartoon series as well? I miss when Marvel made it's own Animated universe before they made a bunch of stand alone series and movies.

Someone didn't do his research.

They've been working on a full 52 episodes, and are in post-production on the last 26.

So.... some of the newer episodes are on youtube due to the UK I believe showing them first for some reason.

Yeah, gonna have fun with them.

Austrailia, last month episodes were great hold a sec gonna post a picture

Okay, well after watching those episodes I'm kind of surprised none of the stuff you posted popped up. However I will say I loved the fantastic four cameos and how Thor has a big influance on the second half of the season. The episodes with Ultron are AWESOME and they really show how badass and as big as a threat he is and the final episodes were awesome and I LOOOOOOVED the new armor tony got which was obviously the Thor Buster armor. :3 Kind of surprised the destroyer armor didn't make an appearance yet but oh well it was pretty good either way.

Now as for the pictures you've posted, MAN I look forward to the next season even more. Dr. Doom, Ronan the accuser, and the vision. Can't wait for the future episodes where the squadron supreme is suppose to be in or atleast nighthawk is suppose to be in, which he's voiced by Kevin Conroy aka Batman the animated series Batman.

Yeah I loved Tony's new armor too
and Ultron-6 MY GOD he was fantastic! Just took Hulk down in seconds, and dat cliffhanger ending. (Freakin Skrulls man!)

Can't wait for Season 2, after the job they gave Ultron how could I not be excited for Ronan. Hoping Ronan lays down some punishment.

[mecha-gino]

I know, it's so awesome!

And this show just got AWESOMER! We're getting the mandarin and guess who's playing him? No, not George Takai though that would be funny(Someone, come up with a line for the Mandy to see but end it with Oh My.) but rather and strangely Ron Pearlman. Yeah, this show is officially deemed awesome and I'm going to say it's quite possibly Marvel's best show yet. Yeah, possibly better then Spider-man TAS and X-men TAS.

Giving this a bump as the long delayed season 2 started this past sunday. A pretty solid episode all around. Doom attacking the FF & Avengers. His line at the end pretty much said it all "You have no idea what's happening do you??". Also Hulk& Thing in a poker game gone wrong- funny and with great action. I cant wait to see where thsi season goes with the Kree/Skrull War, new additions to the team, and other new villains. The "butchering" of the opening theme was a bit disappointing, but as long as the quality of the stories dosen't diminish, I guess it is ok.

[mecha-gino]

Well the shows getting cancelled due to Jeph Loeb thinking it's not like ultimate spider-man in that it doesn't have enough unfunny jokes and it's too high brow for children and needs to get dumb down.

Well, so much for my hopes of seeing The Sentry and Thanos and an episode based on the what if episode if the avengers fought Galactus.

Thanks MG for bumping this thread. Now my rant which I had planned since I heard the above mantioned news a while back...

I’ve been following season two since it began airing a month ago, and while it isn’t quite as epic as season one was, I think it is still very good. What ticks me off however are all the rumors going around that the series is getting cancelled. Truth be told, I don’t think it’s getting “cancelled” as much as “not being renewed”. There is a huge difference. A show not being renewed indicates that the decision was made not to make any additional episodes past the ones made in the original (or extended) contractual agreement. “Cancellation” to me indicates that a series will be cut short due to significantly underperforming.

Some examples: The original Batman TAS received 2 contractual extensions beyond its initial 65 episode contract from 1992-1994. 20 additional episodes in 1995 and 24 more in 1997 for a total of 109 by the time the series ended. For Godzilla the animated series FOX kids purchased 40 episodes which aired from 1998-2000, and no more were ordered, thus it simply ended. Wolverine & The X-Men was legitimately cancelled however since Season 2 was under development, stories and character designs were being completed, however The powers that be decided to cut it before it got too far. Legion of Super Heroes & Spectacular Spider-Man are also examples of “cancelled” series that both had a 3rd season planned, but never came to fruition.

Now all that being said, I am still angered if the opinions of one man, Jeph Loeb ,will cause this series NOT to be extended for a 3rd season. Those familiar with comics will recognize the name as he has written much for both Marvel & DC as well as many different TV series. Apparently in late 2010 he became the Executive Vice President, Head of Television, for Marvel/Disney and would work with publisher Dan Buckley, to create both live-action and animated shows based on Marvel’s catalog of characters.

So basically his first act is to get rid of all the “old guard”, which currently consists of Iron Man:Armored Adventures on Nicktoons & Avengers:EMH. While I don’t see much more that can be done with the Nick IM series, I am immensely frustrated that the first Marvel animated series to be really good since Fox’s X-Men in 1992 is not going to have a 3rd season. I’m even hearing rumors that the 2nd half of season 2 of Avengers: EMH is pretty much reduced to “stand alone” episodes because Loeb doesn’t like the idea of long story arcs. (It isn’t clear whether he doesn’t like them personally, or if he thinks kids are too dumb and wouldn’t watch for fear of having missed something). This I find a bit hypocritical however since I just watched at least an hour of interview footage with Loeb praising the Iron Man & X-Men Anime as seen on G4, which were in fact a singular long story arc told over 12 episodes each. Loeb seems to be planning a new Avengers series more in line with Ultimate Spider-Man. If this happens, then I’m done with Marvel animation for the time being. It took 15 years to bring me back, and now after a brief shining series, I’m gone again. Is anyone at Marvel (including Loeb) watching DC nation on CN? Young Justice has a very complex story arc, especially for kids, yet I’m assuming (hoping) it is probably one of the networks most successful shows. If a new Avengers animated series is made and reduced to 22 minute stand alone episodes that all mimic what will be seen in this springs blockbuster movie, or Ultimate Spider-Man this would be very sad IMHO.

I've been told by the Simon Furman hater that if I don't bump this, he'll break my legs. D:

[o.supreme]

If Simon Furman was writing this show, I'd break my own... .

But anyway. Thank you. There are at least 10 new episodes in the coming days that haven't aired yet in the U.S. As of this writing, I've seen 6 of them, all the way up to eason 2 Episode 14-the first appearance . The Skrull invasion Arc has ended, which had a lot of cool twists and turns. Red Hulk also made his first appearance, also there was a pretty cool Spider-Man episode as well. I'm going on Vacation starting Monday, but if anyone wants to watch new episodes that probably wont air in the US for anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months at least, feel free to PM me for a link.

Below is a copy of a more detailed post I made on scifijapan.com a couple of days ago:

I just wached S2E9 "Nightmare in Red" introducing Red Hulk . A really awesome episode, also one scene lead me to do some research. We see a nameless man in a suit giving Red Hulk orders. He is shown to have assembled a team consisting of Doc Samson, Winter Soldier, Red Hulk, & Falcon. According to online sources the mans name is Dell Rusk (one of the Red Skulls aliases). But at this point we dont know if this is really the Red Skull or a Skrull infiltration tactic.

Also S2E10 "Prisoner of War" Captain America leads a prison break and revolt of all earth prisoners aboard a Skrull ship, (Gyrich, Mockingbird, Viper, a Shield agent, an AIM member, one of the Serpent Society, and of course Sue Storm from the F4). They put aside their differences & escape, so now the Skrull are forced to step up their plans and begin their invasion. Galactus is introduced in a "foreshadowing" of Skrull prophecy. Its kind of sad knowing there will be no season 3, and this will most likely be a plot element that wont be reached by the end of season 2, but I guess anything is possible. Also Super Skrull is introduced.

Returning a favor for one o. supreme. Sorry to see this show getting the axe by the way. Damn Leob.

[o.supreme]

Thank You

Last night I watched the final 4 episodes. It was bitterweet. You can defintiely feel Jeph Loebs influence forcing these stories all to be resolved in one 22 minute episode although #24 and #25 with the Kree managed to be two parts somehow. But I feel that with the bind the show producers were in, they did the best they possibly could. The last episode is really awesome in that it features ALL the Avengers together in what can only be called a superficial battle with Galactus. They get their finale, and standing ovation in the end, which is really cool.

To me A:EMH is probably the Best overall Marvel based animated series since Fox's Spider-Man from 1993-1997. I feel bad for the show producers because this is no less than the 3rd time they have been screwed by Marvel (The first two being the premature ending of Marvel animated feature films with Lionsgate, and the second being Wolverine & The X-Men on Nickelodean mid way through producing a second season).

I wouldn't be suprised if this turn of events upset this team to the point of not producing anything more for Marvel Ent. However I do know this- Loeb & Co. Will be hard pressed when their "Avengers Assemble" series comes out in late 2013/early 2014 to surpass the quality of A:EMH. My fear is that if they try to make it too much as a movie tie in, or connected to Ultimate Spider-Man, that it will ultimately sacrifice quality story telling for a "Bam" in your face feel, or too much quirky humor. All in all a great show however. I cant wait to get these on DVD eventually, though at the pace Disney XD is airing them, they wont be done until October, and probably a DVD release wont be for another 6-12 months after that. Thankfully streaming these is a sinch so i can get my Avengers fix easily, whenever I need to come back to it. A Great show overall that will be remembered postively for the most part by me.

Well looks like we're getting a sequel in the form of Avengers Assemble.

Before I go and change the topic's title, at first I felt I wasn't going to like EMHs anymore as some of the season 2 episodes weren't clicking.... Until the Beta Ray Bill episode I watched changed my mind and now I love the show again!!!

Now to change the title before we have a man of steel incident again, hehe.

[o.supreme]

I've seen all the episodes up until the end of the series. Considering all the crap Jeph Loeb pulled, the series still ends on a respectful note.

Can you site any referrence where its statd hat AA will be an official sequel to EMH? I thought they would be totaly unrelated.

[mecha-gino]

LAZY MAN!!! Hehe, here we go straight from comic con:

[o.supreme]

Well it was an interesting read. Thank you. It just sounds like Loeb was covering for himself in a room full of A:EMH fans probably not too happy about one of their favorite shows getting cut short in favor of a more stylized movie-verse tie in. I find it odd the comment "The voice work is not final" in conneciton with the animation clip. Anyone who knows anything about animation knows that the voices are recorded long before anything is animated (unless doing ADR). Maybe he is working frantically to get the A:EMH voice cast back together? If it dosen't have the same cast & they aren't the same VA's however I'm not buying into it.

*update* I just read on Wikipedia (entry for "A:EMH") that the Avengers cast will be the same cast as the Movie, (No Wasp, Yellowjacket, Vision, Black Panther, Ms. Marvel) and the team will have a different orgin (Shield/Nick Fury ala the movie, not Tony Stark), this is NO SEQUEL.

It feels like Spider-Man Unlimited (1999), it is supposed to be a "sequel" to the 1993-1997 Spider-Man series, but if you watch it, they are nothing alike. a 5 second que of music from the 1993 series forced into the first episode is the ONLY THING that I can see that would tie these two series together. Not the same VA's, not even the same characters really. Oh Loeb... you should just go back to writing comics
