The New Avengers Cartoon Was Just On!

I was just channel flipping, and at 8:30pm tonight on Disney XD they were airing the new Avengers cartoon! I thought this thing was a year away! It was actually just a five minute preview but it was a full scene from the show, and it wasn't even listed in the tv listings!

It showed Iron Man fighting some Hydra goons on his own. I guess this was the first scene of the pilot or something. The guy was doing a passable Robert Downey Jr impersonation. Nothing plot wise happened just IM fighting some green meanies.

The animation looked very good. Looked as good as Spectacular Spider-Man.

It said it premieres Wednesday October 20th.
 
Stark voice is obviously trying to imitate Robert Downey J and the same thing with Pepper and Gweneth Paltrow.

With that said I hope this is Marvel's version of DCAU
 
I gather it's not a preview but a "microseries" of short episodes introducing the various characters one by one, as a prologue to the regular half-hour Avengers series.
 
Avengers will premiere on Disney XD on October 20. They're supposed to do a week's worth of mini-episodes starting October 11 during the prime time blocks (they'll feature origin stories for the heroes and other background info), but it almost sounds like what you saw tonight was a mini-episode.
 
A schedule of the rollout over at comicbookresources.com

Can't wait to watch these roll out. I only hope that the mico episodes aren't all just segments from the 2-episode back-to-back premiere. Probably more likely they are segments from the first several episodes.
 
^^ Banner reminds me of Bruce Jones' run

I also liked Marvel.com airing a Superman/Batman ad before the clip.

I just caught up with the micro-eps at marvel.com. I can't wait for this show to premiere, and hope that the micro eps are, at the very least, released with the S1 DVD's.
 
I get that Nick Fury is black now, but if he isn't going to be Samuel L. Jackson, couldn't we at least get some gray in the hair?
 
This is amazing I watched the first seven micro eps,and I'm looking forward to the series when it ars on October 20th.

Just saw a tv spot for the series on Teletoon and am very much looking forward to the series along with "Young Justice".
 
I noticed that the musical leitmotif for Iron Man in his "micro-episode" was the same theme used in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, even though that's presumably a separate continuity.
 
I'm a Marvel comics fan from pretty way back (started collecting in the 1970ies as a 10 year old kid; but at that time was getting the stuff from the mid 1960ies too); and I have to say, FINALLY, a version of the Hulk I've wanted to see on screen for a LONG time - the intelligent (not scientifically mind you), but a version that's not the 'gentle, misunderstood, child-like Hulk that the character became as the years progressed. This is the original, very early 'Astonishing Tales' Jekyll/Hyde type Hulk, and I like it.

Best line in the micro episode 7 - after the Absorbing Man absorbs the rockface and boasts about it, the Hulk smiles and says: "Hulk smash rock, Einstein."

Looking forward to the show as well.

Actually, after battling The Grim Reaper and Baron Strucker in todays micro-ep, Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D., Fury does indeed have gray in his hair. :lol:
