    Disney cancelling Avengers: Eath's Mightiest Heroes.

    Yeah, you read it right...they are cancelling the best Marvel cartoon in years and are going to replace it with a kiddified version ala Ultimate Spider-man.

    The last episode of Spider-Man was garbage, BTW. I cannot stand all the fourth wall preschool "humor".

    I read about that. While it sucks, I'm glad that they will still air the remaining Season 2 episodes.

      Disney never gave that show a chance. They never gave it the push they have Ultimate Spidey, and they wouldn't keep it in a consistent timeslot. Meanwhile you can catch episodes of "Pair of Kings" ad nauseum.

        This is a pretty good cartoon. Why would Disney cancel something like this? Maybe Marvel isnt a good match for Disney after all...

          Every time I remember to tune in to watch, they always seem to air the same episode with The Avengers going to the future earth.

            I have never seen a commercial for The Avengers ONCE on that channel (except now, during Marvel Animation Universe promo stuff), but they'll show Kick Buttowski (I'm not joking) 5 times during a 30 minute period.

              I've read that they will produce another toon that is in the same universe as the Ultimate Spiderman toon which is a deal breaker imo. The only reason I sit through the Spiderman toon is that I know the Avengers are next. Now they will be airing a hour of bad gags and hyper teen angst. I'll skip the whole marvel arc and just watch the DC stuff.

                To be fair, they never said it was going to be kiddy, just being in the same continuity doesn't mean it'll be the same. And besides, in an interview, Paul Dini said that, "as the series goes on, it will become darker and darker. All the humor is in Spidey's head. We just get to see it in picture."

                  I hadn't heard that...gives me some hope at least.

                    Because Jeph Loeb doesn't like story arcs. He wants stand alone stories.

                      I didn't much care for the Avengers cartoon. My friend had all the episodes on his computer and we were going to watch them, but I gave up after the first 3. I didn't like the voices. Especially Iron Man's.

                          Once you get past kevin Smith as ironman, it's a great toon.

                            I never really got into it either, but a shame to see it go. I can imagine the movie would only have given it a boost. The voices left me a little cold, too.

                            Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                              I thought the Avengers cartoon was the best Marvel animated series for years. It's a great pity it's being cancelled.
