I really like it.
It's a nice mixture of the movie-stuff and the comic-stuff.
And I find the Intro Song to be very catchy.
Avengers! Assemble!

I haven't had a chance to watch the show yet, but I am looking forward to it when I do.

On the Avenger's OP... eh, I've heard better and worse. Not really something I'd write home about. But the show (from the little promos that were put out a while back) seemed interesting.

Just how terrible is the actual show if that's the best they could do for the intro?
Anyway, Avengers into. It was "meh" for me. Not bad, wouldn't buy the song or anything but it's not gonna make me mute the TV when it's on.
I am enjoying the show quite a bit. In fact, I have found myself really appreciating Hank Pym and his powers. He never really did it for me in print, but I am liking him on this show.
Theme song must go...bad bad bad with a side of bad.
Go Team Venture!
I'm enjoying it a lot. My dayghters can't wait for it to come on and watch it with me every week.

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

Its good...not great. My 7 year old son knows I love Capt America and I secretly let him stay up the night its on to watch it with me....
The intro song is okay. Its not something Im going to hum in the shower but I dont know where the hate is coming from
Anyone else crack up that Pym seems to get blasted every episode....my fave so far is the fireball to the face. Nothing says hero like smoldering eyebrows.

Yeah, but Pym usually deserves it.

It's a decent show.
Not Justice League/JLU caliber, but close. The show's pacing is a little too quick at times. It's nice to see several plot threads being developed, but I'm afraid of not seeing several of those being fulfilled right away (or even in this first, of hopefully several, season).
As to the show's OP...
It's not bad, per say. Would I want to hear a full length version? No, not really. What I do like is the evolving Group shot right before the show title at the end of the OP. Hulk wasn't shown in the ep#4 shot. So I imagine Cap will be in the ep#5 shot.
Thank you for the time...

I very much disagree. JLA/JLU was much better. Just IMO, of course.

Uh... would much rather that theme song than the "Jonas Brothers-like" band they have for this show. So. Ridiculous.

Not crazy about that song, but I do like that they say "Harpo! Zeppo!" right in the middle of it.|

Having Christopher Yost on board as story editor means it has a higher-than-average chance of being a pretty good series. Yost and Craig Kyle co-wrote what I consider to be the best graphic novel of the past few years, X-23, and I've enjoyed all of their previous cartoons.

This show must be Abridged!
The Gravitron fight was pretty epic imo.

He said they were close. I thought JLU was better by a mile, that's all.

Title says it all.
