OK but not Great |

Don’t get me wrong, the X-Men are a fairly decent team, but I’ve always been more of an Avengers fan so I’ve been incredibly disappointed with the limited offerings.
This version is a fairly decent adaptation of the comics to the TV screen. It’s not bad, but I do question some of the character designs; the Wasp's mini-skirt outfit looks a bit goofy and some of the villains definitely could use some tinkering as well.
The story arcs are definitely updated versions of the old comics even though a few of the episodes border on the simplistic to the downright odd, which I’m guessing is because they’re designed primarily for children in mind. Nevertheless, there is some adult humor here and there. One thing that I’m glad to see is that the Avengers are fully realized characters in their own right—they each of their own unique personality. But frankly, there seems to be a bit of lack of depth to many of the characters.
I do like how they’re slowly expanding the team—it’s not static and that they’ve kept the Hulk as a member. Unfortunately, the show remains still predominantly for children. While I suspect that hardcore fans might enjoy this, most adults would find some of it a bit too childish. I was hoping for something more adult oriented like the recent DC Young Justice series, but this series is a fine offering and far superior to the predecessor series Avengers: United They Stand (which I couldn't stand).
The animation art looks a bit blocky; the colors are rather simplistic and the shading is rather on the bland side. I do think it could have been improved that area a bit.
The voice actors for the most part proved to be fairly good, I thought that many of them were well chosen for their roles.
Overall the series definitely has some flaws and is an excellent for children, but I’m not sure that more mature viewers would care for it.
