This one looks kind of fun. No idea when it will actually be on TV, though.

Avengers Cartoon
- Thread starter Robert Burke Richardson
- Start date
The announcement has just been made that it's debuting on Disney XD in the fall:
I assume it'll be on TV in Canada somewhere.
It's Disney's new cable channel. They launched it last year to take the place of Toon Disney and Jetix in territories around the world.

Didn't get to see the trailer.
That 90's Avengers cartoon was bad. Let's take the X-Men series, and just change character names.
It's a wee bit odd to have that and Superhero Squad on the air.

Well one's for the little kids and one's for the older ones. I just hope the writing is geared for adults as well as teens.
You can still see the trailer at this site:

It kind of gives that Bruce Timm vibe, but we'll see if it lives up to that. Here's some comments from Phil Lamarr (who will be voicing Wonder Man and J.A.R.V.I.S.):

Yeah, but it seem unusual for that to happen for a team of heroes. Not only featuring some the same characters, but this fall Iron Man will be on three seperate animated shows.
The characterizations on SHS and Avengers will no doubt be completely different. SHS is basically a parody. Avengers sounds like it will be more straight up action animated series.If Lamar is saying that its going to be a little more mature, then I think I can trust that.
Besides, so what about Iron Man being on three different shows with three different continuities. No different than the comics with Wolverine being on nearly every team anyway! Besides, each version is different. I'd agree with it being dumb if say it was the 90s and he was guest starring in Spider-Man and X-Men, while having his own show and then there being an Avengers show and all the continuities being linked. It would just smack too much of stunt casting. Even though Iron Man has shown up in one form or another in nearly every Marvel animated series anyway or was at least referenced.
If Avengers is basically the Marvel answer to the DCAU then they could finally truly compete with DC in their animated offerings.

Well Ms. Marvel - popular as she is - is not a core Avengers team member. Your core really is Iron Man, Giant Man and Wasp, Captain America, Thor, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye and the Vision. Maaaaybe Wonder Man but I wouldn't consider him a core. And you probably could even do away with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch as they're kinda crossed between Avengers and X-Men. But really your main core is Cap, Iron Man, Thor and Giant/Ant Man. They've been with the team the longest out of all the others. Hawkeye would be nice to see as he's always been the biggest Avengers supporter throughout the years.
Presumably they'll roll out some roster changes as the series progresses, and we'll get a chance to get to know the animated versions of a few other characters.
How long do you think the Hulk will last?

Also they're aimed at different demographics, so will be tailored appropriately. SHS is for young children. This looks to be more for older children and teens.
As for the roster and storylines, I gather that they're hewing pretty closely to the plots of the original Avengers comics, starting at the beginning of the series. Hence it has the same roster the Avengers had in the '60s. Although it is modernized; for instance, Jarvis will be an AI as seen in the Iron Man movies, rather than a live butler.
Iron Man and War Machine did guest-star in the '90s Spider-Man, played by the same actors who played them in the contemporaneous IM cartoon (well, almost; James Avery played Rhodes on Spidey, but in IM he'd been replaced at that point by Dorian Harewood). It was a reunion of sorts, since Robert Hays (Iron Man) and Christopher Daniel Barnes (Spidey) had co-starred in the Starman TV series years earlier.
However, when the Fantastic Four showed up in Spidey's show, only one of them had the same voice he'd had on the syndicated '90s show, and there was no indication of a common continuity. But the '90s FF and IM shows, and the Hulk show that followed, were in continuity with each other.
Wow...that looked pretty cool. Hopefully YTV or Teletoon will air this eventually.
