Chris Yost On The Creative Process Of AVENGERS: EMH and the continuation of the series through the Comic

 

Chris Yost, the creative power behind the cancelled, awesome, Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series was interviewed by Alex Lynch, from Comicbookmovie.com, where he explained some of the creative process that went into the production of the 52 episodes hit series, by answering some interesting questions, such as, why the masters of Evil were chosen as the first “main” antagonist to face the heroes, where Yost answered: “ The ‘equal and opposite’ villains are always fun, and we’re able to mix and match. There’s a lot of fun to having Captain America fight Crimson Dynamo, Hawkeye battling Enchantress and the Wasp against Abomination. They’re match-ups you don’t see every day. Plus, we were able to really have fun with the villains themselves. Nothing’s better than a team willing to kill and double cross each other in the blink of an eye. It highlights why the Avengers work so well. It’s more than just heroes fighting together. It’s about trust.”

IGN Reviews The Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Season 2

aemhs2

Well, Avengers EMH is officially over. The second season was intense and made it even more difficult to accept that the series is over, IGN seems to share my view and awarded the second season an 8.4 and labeled it “Great”.

From IGN: ” Again, it was the emergence of the more relatively obscure and non-Avengers characters that made the early portion of Season 2 interesting. “Michael Korvac” and “The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill” were easily the highlights of the season prior to its first hiatus. The former introduced the Guardians of the Galaxy and offered a loose adaptation of what many consider to be one of the greatest Avengers conflicts of all time. As for the latter, few would argue that Walt Simonson’s Thor comics aren’t among the best in the character’s history. To see the early issues so faithfully adapted on the small screen was a real treat. Unfortunately, one of the most unfortunate results of the show’s cancellation was that the lingering threat of Surtur was never resolved.

Head over to IGN.com to read the full review.

The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes has been one of the best Marvel animated series in years. The show had the essence and soul of the characters, with classic stories pulled right out of the comics. But all good things will have to end, and this Sunday will be it for Avengers EMH, as the Series finale will pit the the mightiest heroes against the world eater Galactus himself. The show creators and cast have created the below video, thanking the fans for their continuous support. Check it out:

Marvel/Disney working with ABC on a live action series set in the Avengers Movie Universe

The live action hulk tv series has been in trhe works for quite sometimes, and while we expected some concrete news on the Comic con Marvel Tv panel, no mention of any of the “supposed” work in porgress live action series was made up until now! In fact deadline reports that Marvel/disney is in talk with ABC (which is also part of the disney channel) for new live action series that is set in the Marvel cinematic Universe. The series is in early phase of developmental and nothing has has been set in stone yet.

From Deadline: “I’ve learned that Marvel’s TV division is in conversation with ABC and ABC Studios about doing a drama series in the Avengers world. I hear that the the connection to the Avengers franchise would be light as the project is expected to be set in the universe and feature some of its themes and feel but may not include any characters from Joss Whedon’s blockbuster. I hear the project is in a nascent stage, described as “a kernel of an idea,” with a number of scenarios being explored, including a high-concept cop show.

We’re watching the animation test for Marvel’s Avengers Assemble now! This is the first time anyone outside of Marvel has seen this!
A giant dragon thing is tearing apart Manhattan, and Iron Man’s flying a Quinjet with the Avengers in it! Hulk just pushed Thor aside and told him “you’ll be lucky if there’s anything left to smash”, then jumped out before him
Hawkeye and Cap are flying in on mini jets!
Iron Man launches a barrage of missiles at the monster, knocking him down–but he’s still getting back up for Round Two!

No news regarding the release date of the series has been revealed.

UPDATED: SDCC: Fans ask Joe Quesada and Loeb about the transition from avengers EMH to avengers Assemble

 

The Cup’o Joe SDCC panel is happening right now! The panel is a medium were fans get to ask Joe Quesada  (and Jeph Loeb in this case) any questions they want. One of the question was a bout the transition from avengers EMH to Avengers Assemble. Below is their answer as written by Marvel’s strommy (who is live blogging from the vent)

Strommy: Marvel’s Avengers Assemble will be a little closer to the film–they’re not saying Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! didn’t happen, it’s just the next generation in the Avengers cartoon’s evolution.

They’re not doing an origin of the Avengers–it’s akin to when Bendis created New Avengers. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! will reach the conclusion of its story at the end of the 52 episodes, and that’s the conclusion they’ve known about and been building to.

More information should be revealed at the Marvel Television panel tomorrow. But for now what do you guys think of Quesada’s and Loeb’s answer ?

Keep checking MarvelTvnews for the latest news and announcements.

 

*UPDATE*

Comicbookressources posted their transcription of the Question and answer relating to the topic. Read it below:
