Avengers
EMH returned to Disney XD with a special Marvel Universe hour along
with Spiderman. The first episode, as the title
suggests, had a guest appearance of not just Marvel super-villain
Doctor Doom, but also his
arch-enemies, the Fantastic Four.
The
animation is to the level of Young Justice and at times
feels more like a kids show, but the storyline is set to please the
more mature audiences. The last season ended with a cliff-hanger
where Captain America gets replaced by a Skrull
infiltrator and the series continues from there borrowing plot points
from the Marvel summer event, Secret Invasion.

The first
episode was the best way possible to start the season. The most
noticeable stuff was the costume changes. Captain America gets a new
costume which looks exactly like the Ultimate version or more like
the movie version, so does Hulk who gets purple stretch pants. The
opening theme song is changed with a narration talking about origins
of The Avengers which again kind of feels un-necessary and childish.
The
episode starts with the Avengers and Fantastic Four playing host to
each other with members of each team visiting Avengers Mansion and
the Baxter Building. Hulk and Thing provide some good
moments, with both having a classic beef with each other over is the
strongest between them.

The
battle scene with Doom-bots is well choreographed and so is the
handling Dr Doom’s persona on the screen. Moments like the Avengers
infiltrating Latveria and Doom alone kicking each and every Avenger’s
ass, makes the show worth watching.
In the
end we get a tease for Secret Invasion again.

Rating :
3.5 out of 5
Episode
2 : Alone Against A.I.M.
This
episode focuses on Tony Stark and his ambitions to make the
world a better place. We briefly get a tease about Civil War
when Stark talks to Maria Hill in the same way as the comics
where things led to that event, only here Tony seems against
the proposal.
A.I.M
(Advanced Idea Mechanics) returns in season 2 seeking vengeance on
Tony Stark and we get introduced to War Machine in the episode
as well. There were few good action pieces with T’challa (a.k.a
Black Panther),
Captain America without his shield and War Machine who handles three
A.I.M assemblers alone.
[Editors

A rogue
sentient A.I. who was programmed to consume Stark’s arc reactor is
ultimately handled by the genius mind of Stark himself.
[*Spoilers
over!*]
The
entire episode is dedicated to the style and wit of Tony Stark,
otherwise an average episode.

3 out of 5
