So, anyone watching this new attempt at an animated series starring the Avengers?

I watched all the aired episodes today. I give it two thumbs up, it's well-done and written, especially compared to the last attempt at an Avengers series in the late 90s.

Marvel posted the pre-pilot "micro-episodes" on YouTube. They set up the pilot's events, introduce the eventual Avengers, and provide the first bits of the eventual series plot arcs (Currently we have HYDRA, Kang the Conqueror, and Loki, Enchantress, and Executioner as confirmed baddies).

And beyond the actual Avengers intended for the team we get quite a few other characters: Doc Sampson, Thunderbolt Ross, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Black Widow, Jane Foster, Pepper Potts, James Rhodes, plus a Scott Menville-voiced Bucky and the Howling Commandos (including a one-line guest-spot by a fellow named Howlett who calls people "Bub") in the Captain America micro-episodes.

As of the last episode, "Living Legend", the Avengers consist of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man, and Wasp, and going by the Comic Con trailer Hawkeye and Black Panther will probably join the team by season's end.
