JackFetch Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" -- Further aligning the strength of Marvel's hugely popular characters and stories with the burgeoning Disney XD brand and global reach, an all-new animated series, "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes," will debut in fall 2010 on Disney XD and DisneyXD.com. Beginning with the "Iron Man" and "Incredible Hulk" movies in 2008, the release of "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" follows Marvel's overall "Avengers Assemble" strategy introducing the greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe through various content platforms, including the upcoming feature films "Iron Man 2" in May of 2010, "Thor" in May of 2011 and "Captain America" in July of 2011, all building up to the Avengers theatrical film in 2012. Produced by Marvel Animation, the animated series features 52 episodes targeted at kids 9-14, starring Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Giant Man and Wasp -- who form the Avengers, a team assembled when no single hero's powers can save the world. A 20-part "micro-series" that focuses on each hero's backstory will roll out in fall 2010 on Disney XD, immediately followed by the series premiere on Disney XD in the U.S. and, shortly thereafter, around the world. Disney XD, the single largest distributor of Marvel content around the world, currently showcases approximately 20 hours of Marvel series (including "The Spectacular Spider-Man," "Fantastic Four" and "Iron Man") each week.

JackFetch Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm watching the micro episodes right now, and I have to say I'm really digging this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I watched a few episodes. Wasn't that impressed, though they did a pretty great version of Captain America's origin story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeToonFan Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I just watched a few. I thought they did a real good job on Thor and Lucky. I also love Cap and the way they animate his shield. Only problem I have so far is Iron Man's voice. Other than that i'm digging it so far. Could be more members but pretty cool to this point. The version of the hulk on here can actually think, very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I thought they did a real good job on Thor and Lucky. It took me a second to realize who you were talking about, but then I got it. It's Loki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimeToonFan Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah, I know how to spell Loki. I musta been thinking about someone else when I typed it. My goofy self. Anyhow, has anyone been keeping up with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
