"Marvel's Avengers Assemble" News & Discussion Thread, Part 6 (Spoilers)

[RoyalRubble]

Some updates from Wacker's Tumblr:

What to expect from this season of Avengers Assemble:

Avengers: Ultron Revolution brings up issues of trust that will culminate in our Civil War story at the end of the season.

No plans for Doctor Doom to appear again at the moment, because there's "too much other stuff to get to".

Screaming Mimi is supposed to have an American West accent. She's from Wyoming.

What to expect from this season of Avengers Assemble:

I realize this is basically a re-do of the "Civil War" during the Ultron arc, just this time doing it right or better basically, but you'd think the Avengers would be over issues of trust after that storyline .

No plans for Doctor Doom to appear again at the moment, because there's "too much other stuff to get to".

Like all the characters with movies coming up and are in the MCU .

Screaming Mimi is supposed to have an American West accent. She's from Wyoming.

Figured as much (I even mentioned that in the talkback thread), even if it still weird to hear Melissa sound like that, though I wonder if she'll drop the accent as Songbird ?

The less villains from Season 1 and 2 the better, I say.

I wouldn't mind the Squadron or Black Order coming back, honestly, but I'm not in a rush to see any of the Cabal again .

I do wish they had treated Red Skull and Dracula as well as they have Zemo though .

Doom and Squadron Supreme are awesome.

Doom and Squadron Supreme are awesome.

Planet Doom was definitely one of the better episodes, but they seemed to rather quickly run out of ideas about what to do with him.

They at least had enough sense not to make him join the Cabal .

This week's episode, "The Thunderbolts" is written by Mark Hoffmeier and directed by Phil Pignotti.

Also, Danielle Wolff tweeted she spent the morning working on an episode of "Marvel's Avengers: Ultron Revolution" and that "it looks A-MAZ-ING".

From a writing standpoint or an animation standpoint? Because with the rate of success Assemble has had so far, it might be both .

The Avengers are a larger-than-life super hero team, which is why ANT-MAN feels a little bit out of place on the team. So, he’s taking a little time for himself and heading out to the West Coast! His vacation gets cut short, though, when a mysterious woman brings a murder mystery to his front door. Even worse, Tony Stark’s father is the prime suspect!

A new issue of the Avengers Assemble Infinite tie-in Comic is available to read at Marvelkids.com

It's free to read, darnnit! (Unless you watch to support the people behind it by buying it at Comixology.)

 

[RoryWilliams]

Did they say how late into the series the Inhumans arc begins?

Did they say how late into the series the Inhumans arc begins?

I assume it's going to be late this season, after all the other new heroes have been introduced, and probably close to Civil War and the World War Hulk adaption.

Thunderbolts are looking great .

Y'know, I realize he's really Zemo, but Iron Man was kinda unnecessarily rude to Citizen V .

Meteorite having the exact same phasing powers as Moonstone may be the first clue as to who the Thunderbolts really are...if anyone's paying attention .

 

[Dustellar]

This is what I meant the other day, If the Masters of Evil would have had more members, it would be less suspicious... consider that in the comics they had the advantage that most of the heroes, especially Avengers, were not on earth... when they returned, the fall of the Thunderbolts was expected.

If one day you are attacked by 6 people and the other day you are saved by 6 people with powers and physical resemblance, I think you are going to suspect... especially with Meteorite/Moonstone and Goliath/Atlas, not everyday you see a giant.

 

[strugler]

Definitely agree here dude. It would have been better if the thunderbolts story was saved for few episodes later. Unless they say it has been months since the masters of evil disappeared then im okay with that. Let's wait and see.

 

[Frontier]

Well, I think it's safe to assume there will be a bit of a time-skip from "Under Siege" to "The Thunderbolts," where we go from The Avengers defeating the Masters to Zemo breaking them out of prison, prepping them for their new identities, and then their debut.

The device he stole from Tony is also probably going to help divert suspicion as to who the Thunderbolts really are, which is why Zemo stole it in the first place.

 

[Gold Guy]

I agree with the people who think the Thunderbolts should ahve been saved for later. Subtlety isn't this show's biggest strength, but by havin this team appear literally an episode after the Masters appeared...well, even non-comic readers will probably guess.

It's not that different from how USM handled the Sinister Six. We had five straight episodes featuring each member of the Six and then it was straight into that group. It took far less time then it's taking to form the team now .

By comparison, the Squadron arguably had it a bit better in terms of build-up, but we still kinda jumped into the whole group being together in season 2. I think compared to past cartoons, properly pacing and building up to something is a bit of a lost art...

And then you realize that, in 4 of the currently aired episodes, Ultron has only been a major antagonist in one. I wouldn't be surprised if someone assumed Zemo was this seasons Big Bad at this point, even in-spite of Ultron's name being in the title .

Between the Thunderbolts and the upcoming Civil War plot, I wonder if Ultron will even get all that much screentime down the line.
