I don't like this team - there are too many young and inexperienced members for them to be Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and it seems very underpowered. There are quite a few semi-developed Avengers reservists who I'd love to see on an Avengers lineup (Monica Rambeau, anyone?).
She was on the Mighty Avengers now she is on the Ultimates.
@americanspeeddemon: that moment when he always is. why is everyone complaining? Lest we forget that most of these characters have been Avengers
True Wiccan and Hulkling were actually named Avengers at the end of Childrens Crusade several years ago and that was confirmed during Axis.
Hawkeye was for a long time now.
White Tiger and Powerman where mighty Avengers and Avengers Academy, I think.
Squirrel Girl was around the Avengers for some time and on the Great Lake Avengers.
Sunspot was.
I think that leaves Songbird... let me guess nobody was complaining about her.
Also, yes they let anyone on the Avengers. Since forever actually. Captain America once recruited two Iron Man villains(Black Widow, Hawkeye) and two X-Men villains(Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch), then other villains, which the team met, like Vision joined, and then there were people like Swordsman and Black Knight, who... they are called Swordsman and Black Knight respectively, thats exactly what you get.
Anyone on this team has actually fought powerful villains already like Kang(Young Avengers), Loki(Team-up of Ronin and the Young Avengers), Korvac(Avengers Academy), Shuma Gorath(Mighty Avengers), Thor(these two specific Mighty Avengers)
@stahlflamme: The writing for this show gets worse every season.
Wouldn't go that far. I don't think its quite as bad as season 3 yet. Until I'am blinded by the fact that the fight scenes are a little more creative and better again. Except the whole Anarchy being on fire thing... thats not creative thats from Daredevil.
Oliver expecting from Diggle that he has to give him a chance to make up for his mistake. If someone kidnaps your child you're not obligated to do that. Some would argue not shooting the one responsible on sight would already be more than you can expect.
People still acting like Malcolm can be trusted. "Bring back my sister." "No." "You're responsible!" "I don't care." "I apparently really thought you would bring her back if I asked." Hey, bringing Sara back after pointing out how you have to kill the one that hurt you is not the way into a convuluted storyline where Sara has to kill Thea, which ends with both of them havong to kill Merlyn, who set everything in motion, to free themselves of their bloodlust, really trust me not at all...
Nyssa destroying the pit. And Laurel is like, why would you destroy this thing this psychopath could use to bring back the death or live for eternity, that's so mean, Malcolm is our friend.
The Metahuman that Oliver had to run from despite his powers being just fancy shaped throwing knifes, gets almost killed by someone who admits to not knowing how to use a gun, then goes down like a bitch, but still gets of a potentially lethal attack.
Diggle losing his only and last lead to his brothers death... except maybe the leader of the damn organisation, who is still in town, but nobody seems to realize that.
Also every episode Damian threatens someone for failing once, when he himself failed in the first episode.
Lets see do I want to read the continuation of a story that failed to make a character interesting, wasted ninety percent of its plot on a badly written mystery and has proven itself to be tolerant on the surface, but quite bigoted once you really look at it?
No, I'm out. Then again I never was interested in Thor and only wanted to check this out, because it had potential, that sadly turned out was completely wasted.
@the_stegman: Last time I checked the old Avengers team. Included a guy called Swordsman, who was a Swordsman, a guy called Black Knight, who was a Black Knight, two Iron Man villains, who are now founding members in the movies, two X-Men villains, and several characters that were created in the book, never fought crime on their own, and essentially got membership the day they got their powers. Why are people talking like it used to be such an elite club? Because back then Cap didn't like a mass murderer like Wolverine on the team?
And I remember there being an eight month time gap after secret wars.
@tdk_1997: No, its brought together because Marvel wants to sell comics so they put a bunch of people that sell on their own on the same book.
This comic is terrible. Give Rogue back to the X-Men.
I concur, and I did read it. The art hurt my eyes, and the story seemed a mess of unenjoyable childish bickering, so yea thanks but no thanks maybe they can unite the inhumans and humans and just send my mutants to planet X. Hell we can even take some Fantastic four with us since Marvel doesnt seem to want them either lol
And thats the problem with the X-men. They haven't tried to act on the belief they were founded on in years.
Between Fractions run having not been complete and the renumbering after issue five, that is especially silly, because delays led to the series being released only a month apart, it probably would have been better to wait for the whole series till post secret wars.
@rixec: Of course thats not wrong, but if this future storyline is about a conflict of Clint and Kate in the present and unresolved problems lead into this future, how much can you really care, given how unlikely it is that Clint and Kate are gonna be add odds in the present a lot.
@feartheliving: I agree on the time jumping, there wasn't much point to it.
Lemiere stated Kate wouldn't be the only young avenger in the story. But as much as I love Billy and Teddy, maybe Tommy or Eli would be better.
