Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes should have been a season 3

like I told you before you guys actually do come out with some good shows and cartoons every once in awhile but just because not enough people is watching it or there's not enough you guys want to scrap it and replace it with something stupid or remake it Avengers Assemble discbine but if we're being honest I also like the Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes.I thought the design was better the theme song was great I don't mind Avengers Assemble but it's kind of like starting over when you already had a formula that worked it's just no point

What's the Story?

When the world's most powerful supervillains stage simultaneous breakouts from four specially designed ultra-high-security prisons, six superheroes -- Ant-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and the Wasp -- join forces to recapture them. Known as The Avengers, the team learns to work together to protect the world and foil the bad guys' evil plots.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (8 ):
Kids say (19 ):

There's plenty of action in AVENGERS: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES, but don't think it's just fight scenes and explosions. There are a lot of people here -- far more than most superhero shows, which tend to focus on just one main character. And all of the Avengers, as well as the main villains and the numerous supporting characters, have their own agendas. The good guys all share the same overall goal, but sometimes differ on tactics. This leads to storylines that are more complex, and more interesting, than the common smash-up-the-bad-guys plots. The conflict will appeal to younger viewers, and the ongoing plot and evolving characters will be interesting for teens and older viewers, especially fans of the Marvel comic book universe.
