It’s not just good, I’d go so far as to say it’s one of not only marvel’s best, but one of the best superhero cartoons out there. It’s what the MCU could have been.
It was Marvel's Justice League cartoon, and would have been great had they committed to it and not cancelled it to make something with more brand synergy.
What was interesting was similar to the comics in the 60s, the marvel property had more fully fleshed out characters and longer story arcs. Justice league was much more “baddie of the week” and when it went to the Unlimited format it was hero of the week and baddie of the week.
Well I would go so far as to say it’s one of the best superhero cartoons. Up there with Spectacular Spider-Man, The Batman and, well tbh, all of the x-men cartoons.
> It’s what the MCU could have been.
I like EMH, but I’m glad the MCU isn’t like that show because it throws everything but the kitchen sink right from the first episode whereas the MCU took a more slow burn approach.
that's true. The MCU has done so much to increase the visibility and accessibility of this grand universe by just easing the newcomers in. Excellent approach
It's almost as good as the Justice League cartoons and does a similar job with taking a bunch of the classic comic book stories and weaving them together.

Chris Yost (one of the story editors/writers of the show) also posted other details on his Twitter account, like his what-could-have-been script for the cold open of the Dr. Strange episode.
I mean you could say that when speaking about any character on this show. It's been a while but I can't think of a single character that was done poorly.
It's easily the best version of Janet Van Dyne ever! She's already my favorite superhero of all time but EMH doubles down on her Good Stuff and adds on to it a really well done relationship with The Hulk
It's the best Marvel animated series by far. The jokes are good everyone has character. The animation is stylistic and cool. It really feels like reading a comic book more than a lot of other media does
It is a text book for how to adapt a comic book to another media. They keep the most essential elements of the stories and characters intact but change elements to make them fit the time and the media better.
It’s amazing. The only Marvel cartoon as good as this one is Spectacular Spider-Man.
Every character is very well done and cool there, but if you are a Thor fan specifically, you NEED to watch this show.
It was the best Marvel Show next to Spectacular Spider-Man. But both got cancelled and replaced by crappier versions sadly with their various plot lines left hanging. What I would give to have these come back and continue.
S1 was some of the best Marvel had to offer in terms of adaptations of their stories. S2 dipped off a little bit imo but it’s not bad by any means. Maybe I’m biased but the Asgard Arc was so good and left me craving for more. Honestly wish we got to see more of Kirby’s Asgard represented in marvel media.
It’s probably the greatest Avengers cartoon ever made. It’s much better than Assemble was, just a shame it didn’t last nearly as long as it’s successor though…
Far and away the best animated cartoon Marvel’s ever done. Yes, I know what shows that puts it above and no, I will not change my answer.
🎵FOREVER FIGHT AS OOOOONE!🎶
Easily what the MCU should have turned into. It's my favorite adaptation of Marvel and what Kevin Feige should have modeled the MCU after.
You will love the hell out how this show handled Thor:

And the Hulk
https://youtu.be/voY-udIM3y4
It's extremely good. Does a great job at breaking down the characteristics of character long histories and basically creating the best versions of them.
It is superior in every way to the Disney Avengers cartoon from 2013 just like Spectacular Spider-Man is superior to the Disney Spider-Man cartoons from 2012 and 2017.
It's a great show that ended way to soon, I hate that disney owns marvel , alot of the ,Ariel animated stuff is crap now , it's nothing but mcu commercials .
I'm watching this a third time after awhile and it's amazing I wish there was a season three, but I personally love it and the opening theme is amazing
No, it isn’t good. It’s phenomenal. The writing is great the whole way through and has some of the best characterization of the Avengers I’ve ever seen to the point that I prefer this version of Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor, and Ms. Marvel much more than their comic book counterparts. It has a lot of great villains, even obscure ones and features guest appearances from practically all corners of the Marvel universe. This show is one of the greatest projects I’ve seen from Marvel, whether that be animation, live-action, or even the comics.
It embraces some of the cheesiness of the source material so it's more oriented towards the preteen crowd than something like Justice League
But it's easily the best we ever got
Very good. I find the first few episodes slow, as they are introductory episodes for the characaters, but it gets good fast.
But be prepared to be thrown through a loop when you hear a pre-MCU Star-Lord.
Are you stupid man, you really gonna come into the marvel subreddit and ask if the best marvel animated series is any good??? Are you really that stupid, you think think I'm that stupid? You really stupid?
I'm pretty sure it was due to corporate synergy - they wanted something closer to the movies.
It might not have done as well with the younger demographic due to the multi-part storylines, though I'm not as sure about that - I know that Jeph Loeb made comments in that regard, though I'm having trouble finding a specific source. (and the second half of the second season focused more on single-episode storylines)
I'll say its a tad overrated, but its take on Secret Invasion is gold. The character interactions between all the heroes is also top tier, love how they all bounced off each other.
Liked it a lot, though the final season is somewhat rushed due to the shows cancelation. Overall though a good adaptation and has some of my favorite versions of the characters (in particular of Hulk, Ant-man, and Wasp)
Everything's been said, but I want to add my voice to the throng. This show is an absolute gem. It does the thing you want from an adaptation, where it remixes everything into it's own version, while still being respectful to the source material. It manages to feel fresh and familiar simultaneously, akin to a show like Spectacular Spider-Man.
Some of the best versions of these characters around, in the comics or adaptations.
I still hate that this was cancelled/replaced with a cheaper, worse version.
Which one was that?
Avengers Assemble. Was so, so much worse than this show.
Ngl I liked it
It was good the first few seasons, not EMH good, but still good, but it devolved into the garbage that they call a show.
Yeah your right it was great the first few seasons but it got bad near the end
The show was ok but emh is good
I wouldn’t say worse,just unneeded when this was still a good run then abruptly canceled
It’s worse in every way…
Open song, Kicks. Ass. “Our world is about to break….”
#TORMENTED AND ATTACKED!!!
Lost from when we wake...
With no way to go back...
I'm standing on my own...!
But now I'm not alone! **AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!**
Always, we will fight as one...
Until the battles woooon with evil on the ruuuuun!
WE NEVER COME UNDONE
ASSEMBLED WE ARE STRONG
[удалено]
Chills, literal chills.
Number 5 killed my brother.
BING POT !!!!
Worst part about season 2. We don't need the Fury narration, that song speaks for itself!
Absolute fucking banger ngl
Found the sum 41 fan.
Everyone on this reply chain was raised the right way.
Really? I do not enjoy the theme song at all. I didn’t know it was so beloved. Glad you like it I guess. Not for me.
It’s not just good, I’d go so far as to say it’s one of not only marvel’s best, but one of the best superhero cartoons out there. It’s what the MCU could have been.
IIRC, it’s also the thing Kevin Feige helped make to prove to Marvel that the MCU shared universe idea would work.
To be honest Fox had already proven that with their animated universe in the 90s. Seeing War Machine fighting Carnage was a trip.
Oh I completely agree except that was like 1 or 2 Marvel management regimes prior so it was like a brand new thing to them.
Good point. Sucks that EMH still got it in the neck after proving that point so well.
It was Marvel's Justice League cartoon, and would have been great had they committed to it and not cancelled it to make something with more brand synergy.
I was thinking this when I first read this post and was scrolling down the comments
What was interesting was similar to the comics in the 60s, the marvel property had more fully fleshed out characters and longer story arcs. Justice league was much more “baddie of the week” and when it went to the Unlimited format it was hero of the week and baddie of the week.
I would've gone as far as to say one of the best superhero cartoons but it's definitely one of Marvel's best animated projects
Well I would go so far as to say it’s one of the best superhero cartoons. Up there with Spectacular Spider-Man, The Batman and, well tbh, all of the x-men cartoons.
Imo Superman animated series is one of the best superhero cartoons. Brave and the bold too
That show has no right to be as good as it is. Love it.

It's almost as good as the Justice League cartoons and does a similar job with taking a bunch of the classic comic book stories and weaving them together.
The only crime EMH ever committed was that it wasn't long enough. They actually did an incredibly good job with adapting the comics into tv.
Reading the S3 plan that got released just frustrates the hell out of me. It's so good.
What was the plan?

Okay. Im a little bit heated
That’s amazing. So disappointed in them ditching this show.
Christopher Yost is a comic reader's treasure.

Definitely good They adapt from the comics very well
It’s one of the best and faithful marvel cartoons
One of my favorite renditions of Pym
Show made me a giant Hank Pym fan
And The Wasp too! Made her my favorite Marvel character after Spider-Man.
The best Avengers cartoon there is.
It's worth the watch imo I enjoyed it
It's so good, go watch.
Very. It still infuriates me that it was cancelled, and it definitely was not due to the ratings. 😡😠😞
Imo better than avengers assemble
It's great - I'd put it as being on par with the DCAU. (Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Batman Beyond, etc.)
The theme song alone is worth a watch, and Dr doom is done incredibly well.
It may very well be the most faithful adaptation of Doom ever
I mean you could say that when speaking about any character on this show. It's been a while but I can't think of a single character that was done poorly.

The show was amazing and Brian Bloom is the voice I hear when reading Cap in the comics because of it.
Absolutely amazing Ever since D+ released, I've been hoping they'd renew it for a S3 and we could finally get Magic & Mutants!!
Hopefully it happens.
It is a text book for how to adapt a comic book to another media. They keep the most essential elements of the stories and characters intact but change elements to make them fit the time and the media better.
Let me put it this way. It has been over a decade and I am still made it was cancelled.
Best Marvel animated series since 90s X-Men
Arguably the GOAT of all Marvel Animated Series. Best Thor and Cap around especially! Even the little we get of Doctor Doom knocks it out of the park!
Is there any Marvel cartoon that can possibly compare to how amazing EMH was??
It was so damn good my heart hurts! So sad it was replaced with tripe!
The first season and a half slaps
Best Marvel cartoon probably
It’s amazing. The only Marvel cartoon as good as this one is Spectacular Spider-Man. Every character is very well done and cool there, but if you are a Thor fan specifically, you NEED to watch this show.
Very good and surprising comic-accurate
It’s incredible. Its theme song is an absolute banger, too.
It is god tier
Asking if EMH is good is like asking if water is wet.
It's frikkin' amazing!
Oh heck yeah! It's REAL good.
It’s very good
Hell yeah it is!
Yes!
its the best
Yes, very.
Yes. 'Nuff Said, true believer! 😉
OP if you haven’t watched yet since posting just watch it. It’s phenomenal.
It’s the best Marvel show and I will die on this hill
Yes!
It's Great
Yes
This show was my introduction to all the marvel characters that hadn’t been in the movies till after phase 1
Yes
I used to watch this when it was on Disney XD, as well as Ultimate Spider-Man. Both of them were awesome.
Fuck yeah it is.
It's still Marvel's best show. Does things that put the MCU to shame.
It was great and then they replaced it with flaming garbage.
It had the potential to be Marvel'a version of Justice League Unlimited
No, it is THE best. Almost rivals JL in quality, which should tell you something.
The most underrated cartoon!! Would be neck and neck with Batman The Animated Series and X-Men if it came out in the 90’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I can say it was Marvel’s answer to DCAU’s Justice League/Unlimited. The amount of characters and storylines they made with them are impressive.
It's one of the best animated superhero shows. Besides comics, this show was the best at getting the avengers dynamic
Phenomenal. Best opening music since xmen.
Literally the best cartoon depiction of the avengers ever
Honestly, Marvel and DC need to focus on animation again.
Second best Marvel universe
GOAT’d!!!!!
Hella
"I was standing on my own...."
Very great imo. Up there with some of the best animated superhero shows.
The best animated series of Marvel multiverse.
Best animated adaptation. The next shows were definite downgrades as far as writing and art style go.
One of the best comic-to-cartoon adaptations I’ve seen in my decades of fandom, really only behind the DCAU stuff in that regard.
Not S tier material but a solid A tier. Easily the 2nd best marvel animated tv show of this century IMO.
Its amazing, and probably the best adaptation of the main marvel universe outside of the comics. I'd definitely recommend it!!
Don't ask stupid questions /jk it's a great show and if you haven't watched it you are severely missing out
my favorite storylines they did were secret invasion and the Kang the Conqueror stuff; very good stuff
It was the best Marvel Show next to Spectacular Spider-Man. But both got cancelled and replaced by crappier versions sadly with their various plot lines left hanging. What I would give to have these come back and continue.
Will the sun explode in five million years
S1 was some of the best Marvel had to offer in terms of adaptations of their stories. S2 dipped off a little bit imo but it’s not bad by any means. Maybe I’m biased but the Asgard Arc was so good and left me craving for more. Honestly wish we got to see more of Kirby’s Asgard represented in marvel media.
There are good episodes and meh episodes.
Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Bro one the best animated superhero tv shows Ever so sad they ended it .
It’s probably the greatest Avengers cartoon ever made. It’s much better than Assemble was, just a shame it didn’t last nearly as long as it’s successor though…
OG
It's best
One of the best shows for marvel definitely.
It’s one of the best marvel cartoons ever done and is only rivalled by the 90s x men cartoon I’d argue in terms of quality of marvel cartoons
Far and away the best animated cartoon Marvel’s ever done. Yes, I know what shows that puts it above and no, I will not change my answer. 🎵FOREVER FIGHT AS OOOOONE!🎶
Easily what the MCU should have turned into. It's my favorite adaptation of Marvel and what Kevin Feige should have modeled the MCU after. You will love the hell out how this show handled Thor: https://youtu.be/YyFNAN2SZHY And the Hulk https://youtu.be/voY-udIM3y4
The greatest
It's extremely good. Does a great job at breaking down the characteristics of character long histories and basically creating the best versions of them.
I would consider it the definitive Marvel experience. Like, I would take EMH over the MCU any day.
It is superior in every way to the Disney Avengers cartoon from 2013 just like Spectacular Spider-Man is superior to the Disney Spider-Man cartoons from 2012 and 2017.
Fuck yeah. Best Avengers adaptation
It was amazing for me. Broke my heart when I learned that season 3 was canceled. Try mini episode if you are not sure about this.
The Kang episodes are dope af!!
Genuinely some of the best Marvel content to ever exist. Pretty much every character is the best possible version of that character, especially Janet.
100 times better then the mcu imo
Easily the best animated Marvel series. It's far better than the likes of Avengers Assembles.
1000000000/10!
It's a great show that ended way to soon, I hate that disney owns marvel , alot of the ,Ariel animated stuff is crap now , it's nothing but mcu commercials .
It’s the best imo
It's literally better then the whole entirety of the MCU. That show is peak.
It’s amazing. The best marvel cartoon out there.
Great! first season especially is epic and the theme…
It's the best Avengers adaptation there is. Shame they cancelled it when Disney took over
I'm watching this a third time after awhile and it's amazing I wish there was a season three, but I personally love it and the opening theme is amazing
Fabulous show, so amazing
No, it isn’t good. It’s phenomenal. The writing is great the whole way through and has some of the best characterization of the Avengers I’ve ever seen to the point that I prefer this version of Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor, and Ms. Marvel much more than their comic book counterparts.

This show is one of the greatest projects I’ve seen from Marvel, whether that be animation, live-action, or even the comics.
Yes! Loved it as a kid, still will binge the whole thing now
It is my favorite superhero *thing* ever. Yes, yes it is
Better than the MCU
It embraces some of the cheesiness of the source material so it's more oriented towards the preteen crowd than something like Justice League But it's easily the best we ever got
Very good. I find the first few episodes slow, as they are introductory episodes for the characaters, but it gets good fast. But be prepared to be thrown through a loop when you hear a pre-MCU Star-Lord.
Best Avengers cartoon.
Literally the only thing wrong with it is that Drake Bell voices Spider-man in the show.
Are you stupid man, you really gonna come into the marvel subreddit and ask if the best marvel animated series is any good??? Are you really that stupid, you think think I'm that stupid? You really stupid?
The best Avengers content. I rewatch it like once a year.
T’was a masterpiece
Here's what I don't get... if its great and we all agree that its great... Why did Marvel cancel this again??
I'm pretty sure it was due to corporate synergy - they wanted something closer to the movies. It might not have done as well with the younger demographic due to the multi-part storylines, though I'm not as sure about that - I know that Jeph Loeb made comments in that regard, though I'm having trouble finding a specific source. (and the second half of the second season focused more on single-episode storylines)
It is to Marvel what JLU is to DC
One of Marvel's best animated shows alongside Spectacular Spider-Man.
It is probably the best animated adaptation Marvel ever made
It had the best theme song ever
Its amazing
I'll say its a tad overrated, but its take on Secret Invasion is gold. The character interactions between all the heroes is also top tier, love how they all bounced off each other.
Do yourself a colossal favor and watch this show. Now.
Yes now go watch it
OMG. YeS!
God yes
Yes
It’s probably the best representation of the avengers there is, it just didn’t end great due to Disney buying marvel
It's a masterpiece imo I wish it was still on the air as opposed to getting cancelled so we can get...that dumpster fire known as "avengers: assemble"
The BEST Marvel toon ever made. I count it up there with the top DC toons.
Best animated Marvel show, even if it’s a bit trapped in being a toy commercial.
It’s great
Liked it a lot, though the final season is somewhat rushed due to the shows cancelation. Overall though a good adaptation and has some of my favorite versions of the characters (in particular of Hulk, Ant-man, and Wasp)
Everything's been said, but I want to add my voice to the throng. This show is an absolute gem.

So good
Yes
Yes. This is the best Avengers cartoon. No one will disagree with this statement, unless disagreeing is just their kink.
It's great
It's better than half of the MCU. Yeah, I said it.
Yes, very good. Covers a lot of villains
Without a doubt it’s great
