Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow

Marvel animation was good. Then after mcu made its rounds, it turned terrible. NAHOT was a 1 of a kind type film. The characters were perfect and the story for an hour film was pretty good too. Ultron plays the baddie who off screen defeats all the avengers and takes over the world. The children avengers are being protected by old man stark on an island. the children get tired of being grounded and wander off to save the day. The animation was 100x better than 2020s animation. Its vibrant and colorful. Next Avengers was a fun movie for the kids and family. Thor makes a cameo. Thor easily could have saved midgard but choose to hang out in Asgard abandoning his daughter on earth. Out of Character for Thor since Thor loves Midgard. Verdict: "Dad says hi."

Marvel Animation has been a consistent contributor to the greater Marvel multiverse for years, creating diverse and impressive reimaginings of canon favorites, and adding entertaining, new characters to the already eclectic mix. "Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow" does a spectacular job of making its young protagonists feel like natural fits in the already established mythos surrounding them, while also keeping everything family- friendly and fairly lighthearted - in fact, this is Marvel's first PG- rated animated film, and it definitely has a certain cutesy, Saturday morning cartoon appeal.

I saw this movie about two years ago and to be honest I just didn't find it that interesting compared to other Marvel animated films I have seen over the years. I just find it weird that the Avengers have stopped being heroes, settled down and had kids but ended up being wiped out by Ultron. To be honest this whole movie felt like Marvel fan fiction.

I can't believe I'm saying this but this is the best animated movie Marvel has done so far! And believe me, when I first saw the trailer and read the premise I did not like it. I think what scared me about this one is that after several offerings from Marvel animated movies (some OK, some decent, and some great), suddenly we're getting what seemed like a "kid-friendly" movie which to me completely went against the point of doing these direct-to-DVD movies. Kid friendly Marvel stuff should be left for regular T.V. Well I'm happy to say I was wrong about this one. I think the fact that it's an original story is where its strength lies. First off, the setup for the story is well executed. Ultron defeats all the original Avengers and Tony Stark escapes with their offspring. Another strength is the characters. James Rodgers, the son of Captain America and Black Widow, is first portrayed as a slacker so it's cool to see his father come out in him as things progress. Torunn is the daughter of Thor and I think she may be my favorite character. Plus she has my favorite seen in the movie where she prays to her dad and the way he 'answers' her is awesome! Azari is the son of Black Panther and Storm (not a spoiler, they're now married in the comics). He's kind of the level headed one and it's cool to see the powers of his parents combined in him. Pym, the son of Wasp and Giant Man, was the only one I really didn't like because he's basically the annoying one of the bunch. And Francis Barton is the son of Hawkeye and he's pretty much identical to his dad. They really portray Ultron as a real threat here and they make me believe that he could actually defeat all the Avengers. We also get some action from an aged Hulk and it's great to see him let loose. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel includes these characters into their comic continuity somehow because they've got some really great material here. Highly recommend checking this out.

Did not even watch half of it.. what a st*pid movie.. same old story made mistakes enemies led to the base.. kept secret.. duh.. not for adults.. I was expecting more.. why can't American cartoons keep up with Japanese anime stories.. they are so predictable.

An alternate future had the Avengers settling down & starting families, and then getting killed by Ultron, all except Tony Stark/Iron Man, who goes on to be the protector/guardian/foster parent of the kids, Thor, who takes over as King of Asgard, though why Thor would let his daughter get raised by someone else, even a long time friend/ally like Iron Man, isn't really clear (as if Superman being a slacker deadbeat dad in "Superman Returns" wasn't bad enough). The Hulk/Bruce Banner also survives into this future. Years later, the tween versions of the Avenger offspring: James Rogers (son of Captain America & Black Widow), Torunn (daughter of Thor & Sif), Henry Pym Jr. (son of Giant Man & Wasp), Azari (son of Black Panther & Storm) and Francis Barton (son of Hawkeye/Clint Barton, who actually did not grow up with the other kids), are forced to fight Ultron & save humanity from him, even if it means recruiting the Hulk to get the job done. The recent market of direct to DVD animated superhero features has been pretty hit & miss so far, both for Marvel & DC. "Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow" is doomed to be remembered as one of the misses, largely because the kids themselves just aren't compelling enough to capture the imagination of the audience the way their parents did, with the possible exceptions of Azari and Torunn. Most of the films best moments don't even come from the young heroes, but from the old guard, specifically Iron Man/Tony Stark, who was forced to give up his playboy ways for surrogate parenthood. Overall, stick with Ultimate Avengers 1 (the less said about Ultimate Avengers 2, the better).

So I watched this film last night and I did not think it would be that good, but it was great. I always have low expectations for animated films because animated films usually have low budgets. But I only have 2 problems with this film, the first problem Thor's daughter should now not talk like Thor because she should have no Idea how Thor talks. The second problem is when this came out only comic book fans knew who the Avengers are, moviegoers would not know about the avengers until 2012.

To be honest, this film was plain horrible. Well, maybe some younger kids could watch this, but no one over the age of ten could watch this film without the urge to scoop their eyes out. The storyline isn't THAT bad, but it is rather cliché, and too predictable. BUT, you can't help but HATE Torrun (sp?) and Pym... they're just so annoying. there are constant objections from them trying too hard to teach children about some random qualities which are just lame. About every five minutes, you hear "no we can't!! we have to go back!!! we have to help him!! come on we have to fight them!!" In essence, save yourself from watchign this film... I watched it out of pure boredom.. i would much rather have sat in silenced for one and a half hours than watch this again :]
