As many of us know, DisneyXD has begun airing Marvel’s newest cartoon, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on Wednesdays at 8:30pm est. The team includes Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk. So far we’ve had cameos from Avenger favorites like Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Panther, Nick Fury, and a slew of villains ranging from The Abomination to Grim Reaper. I’ve been watching it for a while and I was enthused at first, but five episodes in and it doesn’t feel like anything we haven’t seen before. There’s Hulk vs. everyone, which is always fun, Hulk gets drafted, and then Hulk gets tricked into a rematch of Hulk vs. everyone, which is still entertaining, but gets old at this point. The art direction leaves much to be desired as it comes off as childish and tones down the action. Hopefully, as the show continues, we’ll see some the great story elements that we know Marvel is capable of, until then I give this three shields out of five.
