Review date: 2008-07-26 Rating: 6 out of 10
This cartoon series wasn't the best cartoon of the 90's, but i do enjoy Marvel superhero cartoons. Its not as good as spiderman or x-men, but its good in its own right. Unfortunately it doesnt have the big Avenger members in every episode, only Captain America, Ironman and Namor make an appearance. But its good that all the episodes are in one complete dvd set.
Episodes include:
1 Avengers Assemble part 1
2 Avengers Assemble part 2
3 Kang
4 Egg-streme Vengeance
5 Comes a swordsman
6 Remnant (Taboo)
7 Command Decision
8 To rule Atlantis
9 Shooting stars
10 What a vision has to do
11 The sorceress apprentice
12 Earth and fire part 1
13 Earth and fire part 2

From 1999 here are the 13 x 20 minute episodes of the animated Avengers series. I had never seen this before but the opening credits were good and along with the music it reminded me of the superb X-Men series, Lenore Zann who voices Rogue from the X-Men does the same here for Tigra.
It features a line-up led by Hank Pym as Ant Man/Giant Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Falcon, Wonder Man, Tigra and the Scarlet Witch, soon to be joined by the Vision after the 2 part opener featuring Ultron. The Vision here is portrayed far more robot-like than he is in the comics. The costumes get a few changes over the 13 episodes, The Falcon's first mask is a pretty daft one for someone wanting to keep their identity secret.
The line-up of villains from 4 decades of the Avengers is superb; Ultron a few more times, Kang, Egghead, Swordsman. Ringmaster, Zemo Jr. and his Masters of Evil (Boomerang, Absorbing Man, Whirlwind, Tiger-Shark, Moonstone, Dragonfly and Cardinal), Attuma (featuring Namor the Sub-Mariner), Nicholas Scratch and the Salem Seven, Grim Reaper and last and by no means least the menace of a new look Zodiac, some like Taurus look great, Scorpio not so clever.
A few liberties are taken with the source material but at its heart it's a good show aimed largely at kids but many old Marvelites like me will also enjoy it. Why it loses a star for me was the "suiting up" into armour before battle, leave the armour for Iron Man please.
That aside it was a pretty enjoyable few hours.
Ridiculously bad, but...

i will be the 1st to admit that this series has no redeeming qualities, but i think that b/c it has no redeeming qualities, that makes it a redeeming quality. captain america & iron man made 1 appearance each in this 1 season fluke. thor himself couldn't show up. the writing & the plots are too sub-par, but i just love it b/c it's absolute cheese. i'm glad to see that all the 70s, 80s, & 90s marvel gems are finally getting to see the light of the day. i hope spider-man is coming soon! i will be picking up x-men. i already ordered iron man. good times, good times...
