Avengers Assemble (2012–2019)
3/10
Every episode is the same.
20 August 2013
Every episode features the exact same cast, doing the exact same thing, saying and acting all the same, fighting another villain of the week whose only real power is strength.

Were eight episodes in and its all been fight after fight with someone super strong. Yes, they throw in slight variations like heat vision, alien army, molecule changing (whatever that was). But at the end of it, its just another stupid fight with another stupid strong guy.

Where is the charm and wit that EMH had? Where is the villain whose power was his brain and not his brawn? Stop the endless destruction of the city as it gets very boring since there are no consequences for their actions. They destroy buildings and cars killing thousands with no consequence or remorse. Whats the point of stopping a bad guy if the heroes do more damage than they do?

There is zero plot. A villain just turns up and they fight him. One can forgive all the other problems if they just gave the audience a reason to care about the characters or the reason for why they are fighting. Connecting with the audience is storytelling 101.

They switch between screen ratios constantly during the fight. Its so annoying. Stop changing widescreen formats constantly during the same episode - it looks stupid and is very distracting.

Ill continue to watch as an Avengers fan, but please give us a story and a reason for me to want to watch.
