With the, almost confirmed, rumor that Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes will be cancelled after the current second season, outraged fans have started online campaigning against Marvel's imminent move. In fact online petitions and facebook pages have started to appear online, recently, calling all fans to unite and show their support for the highly successful Avengers show.

First is a facebook page titled "Renew avegenrs EMH"

The second is a petition whwre fans are asking Jeph Loeb not to cancel the show and leave it's story arc based episodes intact

Fans have also expressed their disappointment throughout many message boards. Just to quote a few of many users, below is a sample of what the general consensus is regarding the rumor:

From User Tonis from Comic vine: " so they're going to take the show that doesn't suck and replace it with one like a show that does suck. Those decision making guys are just geniuses when it comes to making the worst possible choices. It's a shame, Avengers & Young Justice are two of the most impressive cartoons to come out in a long time, I guess now I'll just look forward to Young Justice."

From user Danhimself on comicvine: " if it's true then that really sucks on Marvel's part...why not just make a Spider-man show that is inline with EMH????"

Oberon Sexton from superhrohype forums: " Loeb, you wrote some great Batman stories back in the hey day, but for the last 6 or 7 years you've consistently destroyed the things I love. Please just retire in shame."

Mister Muck from nerdbastards.com: " NOOOO! I really hope this isn't true. EMH is, in my opinion, the most well-made Marvel tv show of all time. I don't WANT another show like Ultimate Spider-Man, goddangit! If anything, cancel Ultimate and bring back Spectacular!"

JDASHMAJ from Projectcovo: " so basically they want to cancel a successful Avengers series to make a childish Ultimate Spiderman like Avengers smh this is what happens when Disney takes over stuff."

Deranged Midget from Comicvine:  "Ok... I apologize to everyone in advance but Marvel F#*%^ED UP A F*#@&%(@*%GAIN! Words cannot describe the anger that is coursing through me right now. First they cancel my favourite super-hero show of all goddamn time and now THEY DO THIS SH!T!?!? And worst of all... IN FAVOUR FOR ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN! GOD F%!&*!&^@ DAMN IT! "

 


 

These were just a sample for the general reaction fans are expressing through the various online boards. Check the sources of the quotes from more hate towards Marvel and Jeph Loeb for, possibly, Cancelling one of the best, most successful, animation series in recent years.

The show is doing well both critically and financially from what I've read... why in the [frick] fix what isn't broken?

I don't know if this decision begins and ends with Loeb, though if it did it would not surprise me. He's notorious for flipping the fans a big fat middle finger in favour of what HE'D prefer.

Ok this doesnt make sense at all...I enjoy the show and love where the series has gone so far and where its going with the " Secret Invasion " storyline. Why would they wanna cancel such a good show and keep Ultimate Spider-Man on ?. I tried watching it the other day, and just couldnt get into it much, what with the lil goofy gags and bickering the characters did through most of the episode. EMH still has a far ways to go and many more storylines to get into, why cut it off so soon Marvel?

i was bummed abt this initially but im okay with it now as long as they get animation similar to ultimate spiderman plus i dont know if u guys read the ultimate spiderman episode guide but alot of the episodes are derived from good comic book storylines and its good that u dont need to watch every single episode to get the big story

" Loeb, you wrote some great Batman stories back in the hey day, but for the last 6 or 7 years you've consistently destroyed the things I love. Please just retire in shame."

Sums up exactly what I have to say.

Yeah, really Disney and Loeb need to realize that kids have brains too and they appreciate the more sophisticated well written styles of shows like young justice or avengers EMH

Loeb, you wrote some derivative, overrated, out-of-charcater Batman stories back in the hey day, but in the last 6 or 7 years you wrote the best Hulk in decades.

;-)

Shame about EMH, though. I kinda dig the show.

I Just don't like the animation. AT ALL.

Please, Marvel, make an Avengers show with animation on the same level as Young Justice or Legend of Korra!! Your characters deserve the best!!

They shouldn't cancel EMH. They should cancel Ultimate Spider-man and make a New Avengers show in the same universe as EMH, and make a new X-men show like Wolverine and the X-men.

I agree with Grif (did I just say that?). As long as the series has a good conclusion it'll be ok. I'd prefer it to continue, but nothing's worse than leaving the story unresolved, like Wolverine and The X-Men did.

If they do cancel this show, they will suffer the consequences and hopefully realise their mistake pretty quickly

Disney burned down all their own characters so now they are looking to do that with Marvel's and when Marvel's are exhausted they will buy another franchise to ruin. When Disney acquired Marvel it was so they could reconnect with the young male audience, that they had lost. When I was a kid no super hero cartoons were quite as corny as the ultimate spider-man. I still enjoy the marvel super hero cartoons from the 60's, but some stuff from the 70's and 80's is unbearable to watch at this age, but my daughter still enjoys them. Though it would be nice for Disney to recognize marvel has life long fans of all ages and more mature cartoons are still relevant. Darkwing Duck was a more serious cartoon than the ultimate spider-man is. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole ultimate universe was invented to eventually do away with the original comics a sneaky way of pulling a new 52, over the years with a long term plan to do so. The arching story lines are what make this a fun show to watch, kinda like Bullwinkle and Rocky.

@PatientZero They (I think you mean Loeb) never said that there were big plans for a third season, only that they had "big plans".

But I agree about one thing, this isn't news.

This might be the very first time I agree w/everyone. I was really wary of EMH at first -- several of the voices are poorly cast and it has possibly the worst opening credits theme song since the 1990s "Spider-Blagghghg" song -- but, damn, the writing is smart, tight, and really, really strong. The character designs are beautiful too.

Ultimate Spidey is a train wreck. What an ill-conceived series in every respect.

I get what they're trying to do. They want to attract a younger audience and some of the stories they are showing are for the fanboys. I have a 4 and 6 year old who loves Ultimate Spider-Man so if they kept both, that would work. Just leave one as a campy kids show and the other for the fanboys.
