Ok this is my first article so constructive criticism is encouraged. This sunday I saw the first episode of Avengers:EMH season 2 and all I can say is AWESOME.
Now just like season 1 the show stays faithful to the source making modern day twists I'll be reviewing this episode in categories so here goes....
STORY:
We start the story with a hooded man in the frozen tundra looking for an artifact that creates eternal winter. This artifact is thus found and used on the world. We then open to Jan, Hulk and I believe Hank enjoying the pool while Iron Man, Thor and Black Panther fight off Radioactive Man from the ARC reactor. After the victory we see science and magic collide with Thor and Iron Man as they argue over the benefits and non-benefits. Then New York becomes engulfed in eternal winter because of an asgardian relic called "the casket of ancient winters" it is opened by the elf Maliketh the occursed as he turns against Enchantress and Excecutioner. Meanwhile in New York ice monsters emerge and Cap, Hawkeye,Wasp,Hulk,Giant man, AND the Human Torch and Thing fight them (it's clobberin time included) While Thor,Iron Man and Panther go to stop Maliketh.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:
The only development shown was between Thor and Tony and how they each believe each others methods (Science and Magic) result in nothing but bad things. In the end you see how both are needed to balance the world in an epic way if I must admit. This I enjoyed because it showed that Avengers sometimes never see eye to eye and this is why they learn from it to win battles.
GEEKOUT MOMENTS: Now the only moment worth mentionin is seeing half of the FF fighting with the team. I enjoyed this because it caused my gears in my head to believe "if they show an animated universe then that could mean spin-offs!" But the world may never know.
FINAL THOUGHTS: "The casket of ancient winters" was a good kick-off to season 2 showing that Marvel still knows how to make a kids show that has a deeper story. I give this episode a 5/5 and will continue reviewing movies and games as shows as long as you the loyal listeners wish to hear.
