Anyone catch the 2 1/2 hours of minisodes of the new Avengers cartoon over the weekend on Disney XD? Very cool stuff leading up to the new series starting tomorrow night.
Each member would have a few minisodes before joining together to establish each character. It barely mentioned the formation of a team to take on the surge in supervillainy. First they’d have Iron Man and then Hulk. SHIELD would show up and intervene in Iron Man’s ‘sode which would lead into Nick Fury and Hawkeye who’s working for SHIELD, etc. Very cool stuff. They’ve changed Red Skull a bit to make him the leader of HYDRA rather than being a Nazi.
Also, Nick Fury is an amalgam of the Ultimate Nick and the classic one. He’s African-American but no mustache, just a little soul patch and a full head of hair, white on the sides and back, black on top.
Overall, it should be a pretty cool cartoon.
