After watching the Avengers TV show trailer, I don’t think this is going to work.  I’m sure it’ll be better than Marvel Superhero Squad, but will not be able to reach the bar set by Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.  The fundamental problem might be that the show is being produced for Disney XD, which makes sense as Disney now owns Marvel.  Here are some issues I’m seeing:

The animation isn’t looking so good.  Did you see Captain America’s shield spinning?  It looks… weird.  I guess it’s rotating too slow for how fast its moving.  It’s not just that, though… there’s something a bit off.

The theme song is TERRIBLE.  Take a page from Justice League’s book and go with an instrumental.  This song rocks.

Just the little bit of dialogue I heard was HORRENDOUS.

However, they’re going with a strong, traditional line up:

Iron Man

Captain America

Ant Man/Giant Man

The Wasp

The Hulk

Hawkeye

The lineup pose at the end of the commercial seems to imply that Iron Man is leading the team, which isn’t especially traditional, but whatever.

I’m not willing to kill the show yet – I’ll give it a chance, but I’m setting my expectations low, and I advise everyone else does the same.
