The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!, an all-new animated series featuring the best of the best in the Marvel Universe, premieres WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD. Produced by Marvel Animation, the series stars the world’s greatest heroes — Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Ant-Man/Giant Man and Wasp — who form the Avengers, a team assembled when the powers of a single hero are not enough to save the world.

The series will be proceeded by 20 micro-episodes. Running five and a half minutes each, each episode focuses on the back story, allies and nemeses of the members of the Avengers, prior to their formation as a team. The micro-episodes will begin rolling out on Wednesday, September 22nd on Disney XD, DisneyXD.com/Avengers, Marvel.com, MarvelKids.com and Disney XD Mobile.

Two episodes will air on October 20th. Disney XD's description follows:

In the two-part series premiere, "The Breakout," Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Wasp have defeated some of the most dangerous Super Villains on the planet. But when the Super Villain prison system mysteriously shuts down, chaos is unleashed on the world. Earth's Mightiest Heroes must now band together as the Avengers to protect the planet from the threats that no single Super Hero could face alone. Their first task is to try and stop Graviton, a being whose power dwarfs anything ever seen. He's after Nick Fury, but will destroy the world to get to him. Individually the heroes have no chance, but together they can make a difference.

Nice Josh! I'm really looking forward to this show. I think it really will be an animated version of the comics.

What actually happend to wolverine and the x-men?
This show looks great. Nice find ;)

Doubtful. From what I've seen this seems to be more like Marvel's Brave And The Bold than its JLU, which is what they should have aimed for. I'll still watch and give it a chance of course. Wolverine and the x men was great, why they cancelled I'll never know, it was fairly popular from what I understand.

@deadpool72
Yeah they like to toy with fan emotions apparently.
I mean how can you give a great show like Wolverine and the X-men, and then cancel it at the start of Age of Apocalypse?
Watch them cancel The Avengers like right when the Secret Invasion starts.

The last animated series I watched was that excellent Spider-Man one that MTV did. I never bothered checking out Spectacular Spider-Man or Wolverine And The X-Men despite the decent reviews I saw, so I might just give this one a chance! I just wish they'd start making these sorts of things more appealing to slightly older audiences again...the childish animation of this puts me off right away to be honest.

Marvel Anime:Iron Man

Even though I don't watch them all, it's good that we have 6of them.

Wolverine and the X-Men was canceled because they couldn't work out the funding with their partner for the series.

That song REALLY has to go.

I myself aint getting a "Brave and the Bold" vibe from it though, (which is good for me as I don't want it to cutesy). Guess I'll watch the little micro episodes and see how that goes first.

This is a real waste of a TV show when you look at that trailer...with a movie on the way and the popularity of titles like The Ultimates, they could have put together something a lot more imaginative and mature - this all just looks a bit "Suitable For 10 And Under" to me! :P I guess that the big bucks come from these sorts of series' which are aimed at a younger market introducing them to the characters.

@RorMachine

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be as literal. One of the voice actors said they were going to try and characterize the Avengers better than the orignal 60's comics did.

And they seem to be drawing from a couple of different sources. They're using the movie version of Jarvis, and the trailer makes it look like Hawkeye and Black Widow will be working for SHIELD like in the Ultimates. Oh, and of course, Ultimate Nick Fury again.

Ugly-ass rock song aside, this looks good.

You're all about to the see why the disney acquisition was not a good thing!
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 9/20/2010, 5:06 PM
It doesn't have to be adult orientated, just not completely kid orientated. Look at JLU or Wolverine and The X-Men. I haven't seen this yet to judge, but that song, those voices(the entire voice cast sounds like they're about 17), lines like this..

"We will avenge all of the bad deeds done by the worlds super villains."

"We'l be Avengers!"

Not getting a good vibe.

ha, mskyle I'm not even sure if that's the exact line! I was paraphrasing, but it was something like that..or worse!

lmaoo....im gonna give it a shot. If there is anything i hate, its simplistic dialogue.

That song is totally Disney pop. It really ruins the show. Then need a score like Batman the Animated Series.

I can't comment on the more recent series' that Marvel have done, because as I've said above, I've not really seen any of them. However, when you look back at the 90's Fox Spider-Man series or the more recent MTV version, they were kid-friendly but also contained plenty of stories and situations that older viewers could appreciate. When I look at clips of Spectacular Spider-Man, it's clear that it's aimed at an audience that is a lot younger than the majority of people who read comic books!

It seems that in recent years, more of a priority has been put on using these animated series' as a way to introduce kids to these characters which makes perfect business sense but is a huge disappointment for everyone else! I just hope this new TV division that Marvel made such a big deal over will give us some great live action stuff along with a more varied range of animation...wasn't there rumour of a Marvel Knights series at some point during Comic Con? The fact that Marvel is now part of Disney is of course a big part of these kiddie shows sadly!

That's not to say I won't give this a chance though but ROR is right about how this show looks and sounds...if Jan's head was any more triangular and kid-friendly looking, Hank would probably sever his arm when he hits her! :P

tazmaniak - 9/20/2010, 5:48 PM
It's a good thing this is debuting before Young Justice.If not, I probably wouldn't give it the time of day.The animation on Young Justice alone gets me excited.Then there's the characters, the JLU feel, not to mention the producers and writers.

I'm gonna give this show a try. Looks interesting. Though I can understand where everyone is coming from about the animation. The animation from Spectacular Spider-Man didn't really bother me because of the writing and because I thought the style added to the show's personality. But I do wish they made cartoons more G-rated to phrase it better. We need our kids to grow up watching shows that they'll look back at and still see as funny or cool. Too much of the stuff now and days looks and sounds cringe-worthy. If I grew up to have kids of my own, I'd mainly let them check out Boomerang (for those who don't know, they show alot of old cartoons that were recently seen on Cartoon Network like Tom & Jerry, the Flinstones, etc.). Just to try and raise them on the classics you know? But as long as the writing is okay I'll give this a chance.

I'm gonna give this a try. Simply because they're teasing at Hawkeye and Black Panther. I'm just VERY curious to how they handle those characters. Also this will be the first time in a long time Cap gets any screen time, since Ultimate Avengers the movie.

hardly anything comes close to spectacular spider-man, it's an amazing show...
alluding to harry's drug addiction, gwen and george stacy done great, and flash actually being the great character he is...
the plot twists that comic readers should know but somehow still get surprised,
i highly recommend it

This looks like utter shit. Spectacular Spider-man was leagues away from this. Sure the "animation" in itself wasn't Wolverine and the X-Men quality but it lent itself well to the plot and style. This really REALLY looks rushed. How can they sit there and tell us that they spent all this time on developing this series when it looks like they hired the first artist they could find on the streets that would do this for peanuts! This trailer is an insult to every fan's intelligence.

Young Justice will decimate ALL!!!

While the animation doesn't look the best, I think it has potential. Will it be better than United They Stand? Not sure about that yet.
StrangerX
StrangerX - 9/21/2010, 6:21 AM
Looks promising. I noticed a few character hints like the punisher in the news paper in the beginning scene. I'll def give it a chance. BTW i hated Wolverine and the X-men.
