When the planet is threatened by super-villains, time traveling conquerors, mythical monsters or mad robots bent on the total destruction of humanity, when the forces of evil are so overwhelming that no single hero has the power to save the world, when there is no hope left... the AVENGERS assemble! Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Wasp and The Incredible Hulk. Earth's Mightiest Heroes must band together to protect the world from a break-out of Super-Villains the likes of which no one has never seen. Only the Avengers can stand against this threat, and the fate of the world rests on their shoulders.

Surprisingly good
26 episodes of the first season. I waited on this until it came out in a full season format (hate those little collections).With some minor caveats, it was worth the wait. This is the best Janet and Hank I've seen in animation. There were great villains to fight, and they certainly thought about their plots. Cap and Hela. Love that. And my favorite Jane Foster version.There were several Easter eggs I saw:Some of the mercenaries from the original Predator movie working for Klaw.Wild Bill from GI Joe a Hulkbuster helicopter pilot.The Futurist - reference to RDJ's album.Logan as a Howler.The SHIELD hovercar and barbershop.Had some quibbles. Iron Man really went overboard on the arrogance, and too many things were "his fault". Hulk was a bit too talkative. And Loki really needs to wash off the mascara (yeah, I know, Frost Giant. Still looks silly). Sometimes continuity wasn't the best. So, where did Janet's winter coat go?Definite pick up if a Marvel fan.No subtitles though. Extra features are just some interviews, so that was quite disappointing.

The best animated series since Batman The Animated Series!
This is animation gold! I love this series and it's sad the it only lasted 2 seasons, but at least they were 2 action packed and filled to the brim seasons. Plenty of great stories were told and a lot was covered.Marvel doesn't fare well when comparing their animations to DC's offerings, but this one is excellent. And of course being excellent means it had to get cancelled in favor of a lesser Avenger's animation.I am so happy to have it on blu-ray. For some reason, Disney has refused to release it this way, forcing people to buy countless individual dvd volumes at a much higher price and lower quality. I imported this blu-ray and it's fantastic. Colors and saturation are much better and the picture is beautiful. The DVDs look fine to because most animation is already all digital these days, but these blu-rays stand out.As another reviewer pointed out; these blu-rays lack subtitles. It's an odd omisison, but one I can live with to have this great animation in my collection.

I'm just an Avengers fan
I've enjoyed the Avengers more recently as I've collected the 2 previous animated features, as well as Next Avengers, and the movie. Black Panther was the only reason I bought this, no other reason, I wish he were used more consistently. Being introduced to oher villains and heroes was cool, and Nick Fury was an added bonus. Picking up season 2 soon...

The Best Marvel Animated Series
For those who haven't experienced Marvel overload yet, this show is a must-watch! Easily the best animated adaptation of not just the Avengers, but perhaps any Marvel story.The key to this show are the characters and the storytelling. The animation is modern and quite good, though I would prefer more detail and better backgrounds; it's good, but it could be better - see "Young Justice".The stories however are stellar. Reaching into the entire Marvel pantheon, this cartoon does all it can to satisfy even the most die-hard Marvel fan. From original costuming, to featuring some underused villains, this show creates a very legit animated Marvel continuity.The Blu Ray has a pretty sharp picture and really good HD sound. Features 6 interviews which last about 2 mins, with no other extra features.Season 2 comes on an entirely separate volume.

i must say though i even like the startup menu which features animation also standard extras ...
I wasn't expecting much especially when it comes to cancelled shows on DVD sometimes features and presentation are lacking. i must say though i even like the startup menu which features animation also standard extras (have not seen them yet) also so let ive never seen the option to pick a scenes directly from an episode out side of a movie release. picture quality great etc. I've never seen this this bluray version in stores, only the cheap dvd version in which they only give you six or something episodes per copy in order to make you spend money by chasing down a bunch of copies smh.. anyway highly recommend this version if that means anything lol.

Best Comic Book Animation-Ever!!!!
I bought this along with season 2 on blu ray. I have to say this is one of the finest animated series ever. And the most accurate comic/animation adaptations made. I would put this up there with Batman The Animated Series. I've been a comics fan for over 20 years and it even educated me on certain characters of the Marvel Universe. A great introduction to get your kids into Marvel and an all around fun time. Both children and adults will enjoy the well written stories and action. Though they exist in different universes, these go great with the other Marvel films. Highly recommended!!!!!!!

Blu Ray: 4/5T.V. Shows: 5/5It is rather odd that I liked these TV shows and the movies and yet I absolutely HATED the comics and most the characters individually. Will wonders cease? The cartoons are very well animated and the stories are fun. The only complain is the crappy song that plays at the beginning. It's so stupid and annoying that I wanna kill people. anyways, if you love Marvel cartoons then this will certainly titillate your pecker.

Awesome show!
This show is cool, great villain cast (kang the conqueror, ultron, Loki, baron zemo and the masters of evil and a few more), nice story, good voice cast, and very good art for the show (plus a cool theme song). All in all if you or someone you know is a marvel fan, get this for them/yourself or whoever, very great show and highly recommended for marvel fans!!!
