At C232 in Chicago on Saturday, Josh Fine Marvel Animation's Director of Development and Joe Quesada answered questions pertaining to Marvels upcoming animated projects. The subject of "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" quickly came up and the two revealed the line up.

The roster will include Iron Man as team leader, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp, Hulk and Black Panther. Characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye will appear occasionally throughout the series. Loki, Kang the Conquerer, Ultron and the Red Skull will be appearing as villains.

Fine said ""This is bigger than anything we've ever done. This is the classic Avengers show you've been waiting for all your life."

Quesada had this to add "What's really exciting is that you'll be seeing stories that were developed within the last ten years of Marvel, so you'll see some familiar stories you've never seen animated before. The first two seasons are absolutely dynamite."

"The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" is set to debut in the fall.

Looks far too kiddie for my liking. This should have been Marvel's Justice League Unlimited..it looks like a slightly more grown up Super Hero Squad.

Actually does look good! Kinda would have preferred Captain America as leader though :S

Seeing this trailer makes the show seem better than I would have previously believed.
I do want Cap as the leader of the Avengers (leadership is practically one of his powers! He is supposed to be the ultimate leader)

Cool, but still a bit on the childish side...
I miss the 90s X-Men show

Let's hope this is the line up they use in the movie.

Meh. Looks ok.

@Ror- I agree, this should have been an epic show. I have to say, once again, Marvel falls a bit short in the animated division.

While I agree that the art in this doesn't measure up to JLA Unlimited, this doesn't really let us know anything about the writing for the show.

It could be every bit as good if not better thanb JLA.

Ow my heart. Please don't mention my beloved JL and JLU. I miss it so...
This looks okay but I agree looks like a grown up Super Hero Squad, anyone else find that show to be LAME... I tried watching it several times and can't stand it.

MarkCassidy - 4/19/2010, 5:39 PM
Hawks, don't you find the clip evidence that it won't be? I mean sure its just short clip so I might be wrong, but it looks pretty bad dude..

IG, yeah I watched a couple , but because that was aimed at the little uns I actually kinda enjoyed it. Its a novelty for a bout 2 episodes, but yeah, I've had my fill!

Ror - Show a little faith! With this lineup in (close to) their proper uniforms, it would be hard to screw it up! It can't be any worse than the first attempt from '99("Avengers:United They Stand")!

As for Justice League, that show represented an extremely rare moment in cartoon history whereas a show primarily targeting "kids" was allowed to be as grown up as it needed to be! We've seen instances of this before throughout animation history, but not often, and certainly much less as time has gone on! I suspect that's why so many have such fond memories of the series, despite it's misgivings!

I love that they went out with a bang, though!

I like watching Super Hero Squad with my 4 year old boy. He absolutely loves it. And I have to admit, I sometimes get into it also. Pretty cheesy but funny cheesy.

I'm with ROR on this one - it looks really childish and not what I was hoping for at all. Animated stuff isnt really my thing anyway but I would have preferred a more mature take on this to make it essential viewing as some of these (mainly DC) series' have been in the past!

Guys, check out my ASSASSIN'S CREED II Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!! :)

Erm... doesn't look good. I seriously doubt that the writing will make up for the weird animation, at least not for me. I'll probably still check out the first episodes...

unlike United We Stand, which was like the X3 of animated series.

guys, don't forget to check out Spider-man Part IV.

Looks promising.

The storylines are suppose to follow the original storyline or at least pull from those original stories.

The animation isn't great, but at least the characters look right.

Remember the extra armor they added for everyone in United They Stand?

Terrible!

What's up with Iron Ma's helmet?
Does one version of his suit have a helmet with points on the side like that?

I actually am looking forward to it.The animation isn't as cool as JLU's BUT hey if the mighty JOE Q is saying that it will be based on some of the classic Avengers material,then I'm down with it.

Make Mine Marvel!

marz66 - 4/19/2010, 10:28 PM
oh...one more thing. I do recall that Iron man being the chairperson of the Avengers back in the day. The do rotate that position.

The Captain America in the image reminds me too much of the Liefeld Heroes Reborn Cap teaser image. You know which one.
foxfan
foxfan - 4/19/2010, 10:36 PM
so, dissin' super hero squad is a bit odd, since, well, it's a show for smaller children, right? i mean, it's like like sayin' you don't like a particular pacifier or a certain style of onesies.

this could be cool, but dang, that clip didn't really give us much. and did it say iron man was the leader, or was that brought up in a comment? either way, we all know Cap is THE leader par excellence
foxfan
foxfan - 4/19/2010, 10:41 PM
and just curious, how do people generally feel about the ultimate avengers movies? i like them both quite a bit, especially black panther in the 2nd one. not sure why they killed hank, but hey, they're not exactly in avengers' canon, right?
ReillyParker
ReillyParker - 4/19/2010, 11:05 PM
I agree with with Hawk. I honestly don't think there's enough of the clip to know how the storytelling and overall writing will pan out. I'd say this has just as much potential to be great that JL or JLU had, and just as much potential to bomb. I'll reserve judgment until I see at least the first three to five episodes. Personally I don't think the animation's that bad. Obviously Justice League's was better but it's not that far off.

"The roster will include Iron Man as team leader, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp, Hulk and Black Panther. Characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye will appear occasionally throughout the series. Loki, Kang the Conquerer, Ultron and the Red Skull will be appearing as villains." Aw come on no Mandarin?! Dude's like one of my favorite villains :\ My expectations just dipped a little bit
