The Positive: The artwork, lots villains/characters
The Negative: If you are familiar with these characters, this show is BORING.
I'm afraid the negatives heavily outweigh the positives for this Marvel outing - though I do agree it's one of the best they've produced. I almost got used to the weird twang that Tony Starks speaks with, but never did. Hulk/Banner is annoying in every way, as is much of the supporting cast.
I sought out a good series after completing every other higher rated superhero animated show (Batman the Brave and the Bold, Teen Titans, Superman TAS (note:all DC))and ended up with AEMH. A lot of potential is wasted here. Not sure if I can even finish the series. Blame the director, or the writer, but I just can't get into it. There isn't the suspense, drama, or intrigue of the DC series's. And I was a die-hard Marvel fan growing up. DC has surpassed Marvel in leaps and bounds. Why am I still getting origin stories with every Marvel product? Do they have no good stories to share? Live-action and animated. Marvel has lacked in originality, banking on their iconic characters to set the story (with the exception of the Thor major motion pictures, and Winter Soldier, which were great). I'm a convert! DC all the way. Bruce Timm all the way.
If I never watched a Marvel cartoon after the 67 Spiderman series I'd be OK with that.
But I'd be poorer not having seen Justice League Unlimited, Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, Young Justice, etc. Watch these instead.
But if you loved Spectacular Spider Man and Wolverine and the X-men, you will be happy with AEMH
Update: Kept with it and it gets better. Some people don't like the second season as much but I'm totally into it. I know I'm watching a good cartoon when I start wanting to sketch the characters and dreaming up new hypothetical stories for them. I changed my rating from a 5 to 7. Stoked on some cameos from some other Marvel heroes (won't say who).
