Anyone interested?

Omyghoshomygoshomygosh.......That's pretty darn awesome.  I have to say, this just looks FANTASTIC!  It seems like they are pandering to the movie crowd by making Iron Man the leader, but that is not something that bothers me since the line-up is so beautifully classic.  I CAN'T WAIT for this show!  It looks like we might finally have a worthy successor to JLU, and with my favorite Marvel characters no less!

HULK ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FOREST GREEN! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MOUNTAIN MEADOW! HAVEN'T THESE MORONS EVER READ A COMIC BOOK?!

... ahem.

I'll watch this, but I hope that was just a kind of teaser, not a summary of the actual movie.

It's a TV series BWPS, not a movie.

Looking forward to this, but I'm not huge on the art style. Kang looks awful.

I know, I was just testing you. You passed.

I'm with Pod... don't like the art all that much.  Iron man, Wasp, and Kang don't look... Marvelish.  It reminds me of an Anime artist doing a bad imitation of Kirby, to tell you the truth.

[BentonGrey]

I agree about the art, but then I was never a fan of JLU's art style either.  As long as the animation flows relatively well, and the stories are good, I don't care overly much how it looks.

Again...the pilot looks like a rip-off of the Justice League animated series pilot ("alien" spacecraft/invasion storyline...Even the designs for the "alien" attack "vehicles" are reminicscent of those from the JL series pilot)...That's just sad.

also i hope they capture each characters strengths,weaknesses, and personalities from the comics.like i said before, i'm a BIG hulk fan but i wish they would have left him out.hoping hawkeye,vision,black panther, and scarlet witch make appearances.also wish cap was leading the team. MAKE MINE MARVEL!!

[BentonGrey]

H.D...please use spacing and capitalization...you're posts are very hard to read.

Dana, one of the early Avengers stories (maybe an annual) with the original line-up of Avengers has Kang invade and something reasonably similar happen.  The ship looks pretty similar too.  They are, according to interviews, following the old Avenger's plots.  I even remember something about Loki being their first villain. 

This also means, H.D., that we're starting with (almost) the original line-up, and that we are very likely to see that change as the stories progress.  I think it's pretty likely we'll see the quirky quartet, Hercules, and other classic Avengers show up eventually.

It's been confirmed that Black Panther, Wonder-man, Jarvis, Loki, the Master of Evil, Odin, and others will show up during the series (Source: Phil LaMarr). As for leadership, Ironman WAS the original leader and he usually is put in the leadership position regardless of whether or not Steve is present on the team. That's not really something to complain or be upset about, me thinks.

I wouldn't say he was the original leader, Prev., as they had a rotating chairman from the get-go (ALTHOUGH, it may have been Iron Man who brought them together in the first story), and Captain America was treated as a leader-figure, even if he wasn't running the team.  Still, don't misunderstand me, I am NOT complaining about anything.  I'm thrilled that this is finally coming out.  I would love to have another superhero show that my wife and I could actually stand to watch.  I can sometimes stomach Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but she definitely can't.  We used to watch JLU together (and she enjoyed it more than she admits!), but since it's gone off there hasn't been anything like it.  This show looks like it might actually manage to do something similar.

Actually, the plot looks like it was taken from Avengers (1st series) #8, which was Kang's first appearance.

Er, I didn't even make a reference to your post, but thanks for the extraneous details, I suppose.

Link down already.

Here's a pic:

Thanks Jey, I'd seen that main pic in the other thread, (and almost got excited when I saw the trailer embed, but it's down, too), but I hadn't seen any of the additional images they had lower down.  Was really wanting to see how the designs looked animated, but I suppose I'll have to wait.

So, will this be only airing on Disney XD?  I'm not even sure I get that channel, and if I do, I have no idea if it's part of our cable package, or if it's a premium channel (which I'm thinking it is).  I don't feel like going to a website to watch it, as I want to be relaxing in front of the tube for that sort of entertainment, not hunched over my laptop with headphones on to hear it properly.

Just to nitpick a little, do we think they're really planning on having Janet in the SAME OUTFIT every episode?  I know it makes the animators jobs easier, but it totally drops one of the more intersting/humorous quirks of the team.  Oh well, I suppose it can't be perfect.  (still happy to see Ultron, though!  wonder if Red Skull will be part of the micro-series or the main episodes)

[BentonGrey]

Haha, yeah, it would be pretty funny to have her wearing a different costume every episode (by the way, I got such a kick, the second time I played through The Strangers, because I had read the old Avengers comics by then and The Spider changing costumes constantly was hilarious).  Speaking of her costume, I really like that look, and I liked her little tiny bit of action in the trailer.  It looks like they will actually make her useful.

[Previsionary]

Having re-read Avengers #1-16 yesterday, Jan is one of the most annoying females from that time period. Hopefully they have her with a lot more depth than she had in her early days.

Good buddy, PG, you can find the trailer here: click

Yeah, I rox w/ the googlez

Yeah, Prev., I share that hope.  The fact that she's actually DOING something in the fight is, I hope, a good sign.

*watches the trailer*

awww....just a cardboard cut-out Red Skull. 

Liked the way Thor was layin' the smack down.  Cap looks spot-on!

I must say, I'm actually excited about this.  It has much potential goodness.

Some news from C2E2:

"It seems that the show will kick off with a "Prison Break" premise, with the Avengers gathering in response to the huge threat."
"We see Black Panther, Hulk, Cap, Thor ("MIDGARD!"), Wasp, Giant-Man, Nick Fury, Loki . . . the theme song ROCKS."
"Screen shots of individual characters: Loki, Hawkeye, Ultron, Black Widow, Kang, Hydra (with about seven big villains, including Red Skull, Viper and Arnim Zola)."
"They'll explore "from the early Stan Lee days to today"
"Fury is Ultimate in a SHIELD outfit."
"Avengers debuts this fall on Disney XD"

All of this sounds good to me.

All except for the channel it's on.  It's not part of our package.  I have a bad feeling I'll have to resort to trying to watch these online.....on a smaller screen.

Yeah that's true. I'm in Canada and don't get XD regardless, so I'm hoping it will be on Teletoon or YTV. It probably will.

[Previsionary]

You know, it's an interesting transition Nick Fury has taken. The 90s used 616 Nick Fury everywhere. Who would have thought that just 1 decade later, they'd keep using Ultimate Nick Fury with 616 elements. It's produced such a mixed result.

[Podmark]

Also Wolverine and the X-Men Season 2 has been cancelled due to lack of financing.

Are you kidding me? I feel... like Marvel is trying to break up with its fanbase and they're just doing everything they can to make us upset before dropping the axe, "It's over, fans. We're over you, and we're moving on!"

Well, they won't see me grovel. I ain't gonna be crawling because of this news. I simply will not. WILL NOT! But... I was looking forward to more Colossus and the intro of Jubilation Lee. . Two good shows gone in a year... must be a personal record.

[BentonGrey]

Bah for Ultimate Fury.  Everything else sounds good.

[herodad1]

yeah, whats wrong with the ORIGINAL nick fury. 

[BentonGrey]

I understand that they want to tie everything in to their movies, but still....I like classic Fury.
