I believe there's many clips on youtube. Certainly it's not a patch on Ultimate AVengers.

And, some of those accents- (Baron Zemo! Scarlet Witch!) were hilarious.

...And the Avengers Assemble sequences (DIgivolve, Avengers!) were utterly unnecessary.

...And they picked a very wierd line-up (No Thor, Cap or Iron Man! C'mon, Tigra- let's kick ass!)

...And some of the characterisations were a little out of place. (Hawkeye seemed like he was on the verge of saying 'bub' at the end of every sentence.)

...And yes, they did indeed have ridiculous costumes. (The giant 'H' on Hawkeye's head.)

But I forgive the whole series because of what is possibly the least likely line I'd ever expect an arch-villain to say.

"Only one man can possibly stand in my way.... ANT-MAN!"

I'm sorry, I know he's a founder Avenger but that line still sounds ridiculous

I've just seen all the 13 episodes and... well, let's say I like the Justice League series quite a lot more ;D

Marvel clearly tried to go the non heavy hitter route and got totally burned for it.


What they really need is something like JLU, where they basically include every avenger ever on the team and then just use the ones they want for any particular story
