When I got sick with the flu years ago, I had a lot of time on my hands. I decided to check out The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and managed to finish the first season in about a week. I loved the major motion picture, but the cartoon is less stellar.

It may be a bit more true to the original story though. It includes Wasp (who named the team) and Ant-Man who were founding members, but were cut from the cast of the 2012 Movie.

Well anyways after a few introductory episodes, The Avengers assemble and take on many Marvel villains. From the evil army Hydra, the enchantress Amora, the evil conquerer Kang, and Thor’s renegade adoptive brother Loki.

The problem is that for 26 short episodes, there’s just too much action, characters, and villains to keep up with. Nothing serious ever happens, and characters never have a chance to evolve. It’s a good show I admit, but by the end of season one it was starting to get a bit dull. I liked it but didn’t love it.
