The show has been totally entertaining so far. Spider-Man steals the show. Laughing Captain America and Wasp have the best D-Smashes. Captain America does boxing moves and Wasp is basically a magical girl

Definitely wanna see how the show develops.

It's surprisingly slow paced for a kid's show, but I'm enjoying it.

Considering how other TMR voiced characters end up, I don't foresee a happy ending for Mr Samurai Laughing

So what's the consensus? Surprisingly more entertaining than those Marvel x Madhouse collaborations?

Yeah, I'm curious for more opinions too.
It sounded like a Pokemon knockoff, so I skipped it.

Much better. It's the best crafted animated Marvel show ever, pretty much. It'll also probably be the only one that gets an actual ending by the looks of it. They seem to have an actual plot direction they're moving with and all the character so far have been nicely set up and developed.

And, arguably, having Silver Samurai as the Token Nationalistic Character is better than Armor, I suppose.

Pretty darn good. Nakaya Kazuhiro's work as Captain America has been my favorite so far. His handling of the character's poetic dialogue is very powerful. The others are all good, too. Hori Hideyuki as Doctor Akatsuki was a nice surprise since Hori doesn't get much work these days.

Nah brahs, it's not Pokemon at all. No one's out to capture them all and be the best hero trainer ever. lol. It's just a gimmick. Stark invented a miniature prison system to stop all the villains from breaking out of jail every other week but then Loki found out and used it to capture both heroes and villains in them so he could get rid of everyone except Spider-Man who's too cool to be captured. He destroys the biocoder which allows people to unlock the prisons but not before a group of kids accidentally get scanned by it and are the only ones who can release people from their prison disks. So they're kinda forced to help out since they're the only ones who can release heroes. Some of them don't even want to do it and it takes a lot of convincing for them to risk their lives by getting involved. Bretty fun.

The first two episodes sound like episodes of Earth's Mightiest Heroes which given the premise was an extremely welcome surprised.
