Marvel fans here we are with a review that I never thought i'd be doing but now is the right time given that Black Panther is killing it at the box office and the show's fifth season is going to focus on Black Panther so here is my review of Avengers Assemble.
Now the plot for the first season is The Avengers reunite and have to stop Red Skull from using the Tesseract while season two mainly deals with The Avengers fighting Thanos it's from season three on wards that the show changes it's title with this season being called Ultron Revolution and yeah it's in the name who The Avengers have to defeat and the current season is called Secret Warriors and it follows Black Panther and a new set of heroes who have to find The Avengers who have been scattered across space and time.
As you can pretty much gather each season has a different plot and a different title to go with it in terms of the best story I like the one being told in Secret Wars just because the team in season four havn't teamed up before the premier episode so we get to see them bond as a team and that to me makes this season more interesting.
Starring in the series is Laura Bailey , Troy Baker , Adrian Pasdar , Bumper Robinson , Roger Craig Smith , Fred Tatasciore , Travis Willingham and Adrian's replacement as Iron Man for season 4 Mick Wingert. Yeah for some reason they replaced Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man for season 4 and I don't like his replacement I think that Adrian has such a distinct voice that's perfect for playing Iron Man the rest of the cast are really good Fred has been playing Hulk since 2009 and I think it's safe to say that he is the voice of The Hulk now.
What kinda surprises me is how little known this show is for one thing it's Marvel they get alot of publicity from doing anything and secondly it's on a network owned by Disney who could pay for more publicity for the show Channel Frederator havn't even done a 107 facts video on the series and yet they did one for The Emoji Movie.
What most people either don't know or didn't realise is that this is part of an animated universe called the Marvel Animated Universe it so far consists of the since cancelled Ultimate Spider-Man , Avengers Assemble , Guardians Of The Galaxy and the since cancelled Hulk And The Agents Of Smash but you can watch these shows really in any order you want so you don't have to watch Ultimate Spider-Man to understand Guardians and so on.
As far as I can work out the animation was dine in house by Marvel Animation but there's a chance I could be wrong but if i'm not for an in house animation the animation was pretty well done I was looking to watch something as different as Avatar as I could and this really did hit the spot because it looks so different from Avatar.
The show also makes use of CGI animation as well and for the most part the two do blend really well but then there's scenes where you can tell straight up that it's CGI and it did take me out of the episode a little and I wish that they could have spent more time on making the CGI look a little better then what we did get.
Now what's interesting is that they have two designs for Falcon in the first three and the first episode of season four Falcon is dressed more like his comic counterpart but from episode 9 of season four he looks more like his live action counterpart not only is his suit more like it is in the live action movies but they also make him look like Anthony Mackie I was shocked at how much they made him look like Anthony.
I have to say that this series did the Inhumans better then the Inhumans TV Series did it's not saying much because that show's freaking terrible but in this series the Royal Family actually act like a Royal family and not just really angry siblings in this series they take measures to make sure Maximus cannot do anything evil which is way more then what they did in the god awful Inhumans show.
Since this is a superhero show there's alot of action in every episode and I have to say the action in the series was handled really well it's never just there for the sake of having an action scene it serves a purpose and that purpose is to help the story and for me that's the best thing an action scene can do and while it does boil down to who can hit who the hardest here it actually makes sense so I can't really knock the series for that.
If your an animation fans you'll want to know who's working on this series the writers for the first and the shows producers is the group Man Of Action who created the original and reboot of Ben 10 but also serving as a producer is Eric Radomski who is the creator of Batman: The Animated Series that's a lot of talent right there and i'm glad that Marvel put the right people onto this series because it could have been very freaking wrong if they didn't.
Overall this is a really good show but at the same time it's not as good as I think it could be but I do think that the show deserves more attention then what it does get so the show gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me.
