There's no question that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is--was--one of the best domestic Marvel toons ever made. (Better than the legendary X-Men:TAS? That's to be debated.)
But would any heretical Japanese attempt to anime-interpret the Avengers be worse than the current "Avengers: Assemble"? That's also a good question.
Never got into Mightiest Heroes but from what I watched it was much better than its successor (which debuted shortly after it got cancelled).


A:EMH was moved out to make room for the "movie-canon friendly" A:A--
No Black Panther, no Wasp, no print comic costumes, nothing that didn't start from Disney's own Marvel Movie canon: Six characters, Hawkeye wears black muscle shirts instead of purple, they just met, and they hate each other. Rolling Eyes
(Oh, and bringing it more in line with the popular "hi-energy" style of "Ultimate Spiderman", where Peter Parker is now Ferris Beuller.)

Its just Disney/Marvel at its finest. They are trying to overextend the life of franchises that are more than 3-4 decades old. My natural reaction would be for them to "stop and focus on making newer and more innovative comics outside the superhero genre" but knowing Marvel, they'll just milk the same franchises over and over again until they are flat out dry.


It's not like the fans want new. Books with new characters simply don't sell, not at the volume the Big 2 consider a success.
