Zemo is arguably one of the best villains of the series which is saying a lot considering how many amazing adaptations of classic Marvel villains this show was able to give us
@sergioreyes4039 Agreed they were all excellent, especially Zemo, Ultron and Doctor Doom. I'd also say villains like Kang, Leader, The Skrulls, Enchantress etc... were also great and really done justice in this show.
It's so wild that we've never had a movie where a villain forms their own team to fight the heroes. Villain teams are really cool because you get to see chemistry between very different people, without them being nice and heroic.
@HotDogTimeMachine385 This is something I really hope we see in the future of CBM's and I personally hope James Gunn's DCU introduces this idea of villains teams in modern comic book movies today, especially since there are so many great villain teams in DC like The Legion of Doom, The Rogues, The Light, The Hive Five, The Superman Revenge Squad, Villainy Inc etc...
Man, I really wish we got this version of Zemo in the MCU. Always loved how him and Cap are both super soldiers from different factions. One has a sheild for defense and the other has a sword for offense.
"70 years have passed, and my teammates and I discovered the first Avenger: a Super Soldier named Steve. And although his shield-throwing skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he can lead anybody. But I believe, that Cap can assemble the Avengers."
@@WanderingNerd21 the one in here is the original, Heinrich Zemo, but in the present his "updated" costume is the one his son Helmut Zemo (the one that nowadays is better known for his MCU appearances) wears in the comics
7:25 In the comics it was adhesive x (instead of Virus X) super glue that couldn't be separated from whatever it glued together, That's why the mask became attached to Zemo
Seeing them singing along to the theme song makes me sad knowing the people who made this show decided to remove it for The second season and replace it with a narrator. They’re going to be devastated
2:03 someone might have mentioned it earlier or on Patreon, but keep an eye out on the end of that intro each time we either lose an Avenger (Hulk) or gain a new one. So awesome 😁😁
I just love Baron Zemo's VA Rown Atkin Downes is also TF2 Medic's VA. You can almost imagine him as Medic if he wasn't completely insane-type of evil. But more on the sophisticated type. I also really love how they really just build up the team through starting episodes, instead of like having everyone assemble at the very start. Really helps flesh out each member.
5:57 Something that needs to be clarified is that the Supreme Leader of Hydra, after a certain Austrian painter, is Zemo, not Red Skull or Strucker. They were merely his generals and apprentices; the true current leader is Zemo.
Gotta give credit to Wasp coming in clutch. Sometimes I feel she struggles to keep up with the other heroes, but she rocked this episode. Curious to see if that opinion changes during this rewatch.
yeah, when this series first came out i was worried she was gonna be what jubilee was to the 90's X-men cartoon; the stereotype ''comedy hero that gets taken down to showcase enemy power'' with only a few highlights of her in girlboss mode. janet gets her time in the sun and more
Fun detail about the opening: pay attention to the line-up of Avengers at the very end and you'll see that it changes periodically. Currently, Hulk isn't in the line-up at the end of the opening because he left, but he'll show up again when/if he rejoins
Idk if someone pointed it out during full length but we were missing hulk in our little assemble line up during the intro. The keep that fairly updated to tell you the status of the team
Originally Zemo senior developed Adhesive X that Cap spilled on him. It wasn't a virus, it was just superglue! 😂 His son takes over as Zemo in the present day. Here they just merged them
I love MCU Zemo, but this is by far the best adaptation of the character. Zemo in this show is a total badass, but actually kinda scary. They actually made a dude in purple sock mask intimidating.
Yeah, ran afoul of an experimental weaponized adhesive being developed for use against allied forces. Karma, schadenfreude? Either way, it is very much being hoist by his own inhumane petard.
Technically, when Zola is examining him, there's a background display that shows his face (where he looks like one of Imhotep's regeneration from the Brendan Fraser Mummy movie). He just wears this mask to hide his face, obviously.
@@SecretMagician I think the scene implies with how baggy it was and then how tight it got around his face afterwards mimicking his mask look in the present that the fabric became fused to his skin I mean I could be wrong but I think with how the scene was presented it’s meant to show that he can’t take the mask off anymore
I do like how they solved the comics’ Zemo timeline problem by just making Heinrich immortal, but at the same time I feel like it shot them in the foot for potential future seasons being able to do the Zemo sort-of redemption arc, since it relied on Helmut being Zemo and learning from the mistakes of his father.
@@fenrirsrage4609 Fair, though I suspect this series would've simply gone a more standard route of having Heinrich eventually form the Thunderbolts and betray them, as Helmut did, and then let them have their usual redemption arc while he remained a villain.
Fun fact about Zemo in this (also the fact this is the BEST Zemo I've ever seen personally), he's voiced by The Medic from Team Fortress 2! I immediately noticed it the first time I saw this series when he was screaming after being hit with Virus X, the sound of his scream is the same as the Medic's. Another perfect role for Robert Atkin Downes!
Everytime the intro starts i always wondered why did that hydra ship attack that building in particular Like one of the goons was an ex employee of that building
Random: the new gi Joe comic part of new energon universe and under image publishing laws by Robert Kirkman (invincible and walking dead) I imagine duke voice be like cap here and same for cobra using zemo voice.
As Thor said, Cap is a warrior and he thought he was still at war, where the United States was fighting with Japan and the Nazis, that's why Captain America looked at the Japanese immigrant, thinking that the camera was actually a weapon of war fired at him.
Basically Virus X is killing him but also kept him alive so im not sure how useful it would have been in the war or something with Barons DNA kept him alive
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
the serum allows steve to go to just beyond human potential; if only barely hence why the man can jump out of a quinjet into open water without a chute, watch him in this show, his favourite fall-breakers are insane
_"Super Soldier is which a Human is capable of doing all Human World Records"_ That's in the ordinary comics universe (Earth-616), in the Ultimates universe he's clearly above human levels (as is the case in the MCU which takes from both 616 and Ultimates). In this show it's left vague.
Spoiler free: A fun fact about the super soldier is not only does increase strength, speed, muscle and bone density but also slowing down the ageing process In fact in the comics, steve had the super solider serum removed from his body causing him to rapidly age into a 90 yr old man Henerich zemo in the show shares the same fate with henerich zemo from the comic with both versions adhesive x which is super stick glue which was splashed on zemo purple hood causing it to permanently Stick to his face causing him to go mad In fact, history would repeat itself with henerch son, helumt zemo who also get his purple mask stuck his face too Baron zemo isnt the only purple hood wearing super villain in marvel, there is also a character named hate monger who wore a puple klans hood and was revealed to a clone of adolf Hitler
@@kingsireeI think he could be referring to some EMH comics For some reason I have a EMH comic with Thor meeting Hercules so there could an EMH comic with cap talking about his missions during WW2
Even though this show was good it sadly got cancled after season 2. Hopefully Blind wave will react to Avengers Assemble. The first two season of Avengers Assemble are dense but it get better at season 3. Season 5 of Avengers Assemble gets better because of the different animation for it and it's focused on Black Panther and Wakanda.

no that was not me okay.
no shut up that was not me in this chip okay it was not real fake photo, that was not me okay bro.
It’s also a fun little detail. When they assemble during the title sequence, it only shows the active members. So in this episode, the hulk is missing
I've noticed it only like in the second half of the second season
X-men '97 copied that also, with their character intros. Really cool idea.
It's not just active members; it shows the members that are featured in the episode. Hulk is still a member, he's just not in this episode.
@@erikjohnson3859 Hulk literally left the team
@leonardolonghi3472 Not the point. If he was seen in the episode, he would've been in the intro picture despite his tantrum.
Tony: Avengers Assemble!
Hank: We're all right here.
Tony: -_-
Back then and right now, I still think the same about that phrase Hank said, is something Spidey would say xD
Funniest moment in the entire show lol
Zemo is arguably one of the best villains of the series which is saying a lot considering how many amazing adaptations of classic Marvel villains this show was able to give us
The Baron Zemo, Ultron, Red Skull and Doctor Doom They are the best villains in the series in my opinion.
@sergioreyes4039 Agreed they were all excellent, especially Zemo, Ultron and Doctor Doom. I'd also say villains like Kang, Leader, The Skrulls, Enchantress etc... were also great and really done justice in this show.

Man, I really wish we got this version of Zemo in the MCU. Always loved how him and Cap are both super soldiers from different factions. One has a sheild for defense and the other has a sword for offense.
That being said, Civil War Zemo is goated
@@sproutsgrowup ...and such a graceful dancer.
While the MCU version isn't very traditionally Zemo, I did quite like him as a villain and later a reluctant ally/agent of chaos.
@@bthsr7113it's kinda like Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn's Agatha isn't the traditional Agatha but isn't terrible.
@@bthsr7113I hope
He’s somewhere in thunderbolts
Love how Cap immediately starts kicking ass as soon as wakes up.
Its pretty much something that tends to happen with him.
The moment he wakes up, his fight or flight instincts just kick in.
"70 years have passed, and my teammates and I discovered the first Avenger: a Super Soldier named Steve. And although his shield-throwing skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he can lead anybody. But I believe, that Cap can assemble the Avengers."
Love how in this series, they merged the 2 comic Zemos together with such a gruesome origin!
*THERE'S 2 OF THEM?!!*
@@WanderingNerd21 the one in here is the original, Heinrich Zemo, but in the present his "updated" costume is the one his son Helmut Zemo (the one that nowadays is better known for his MCU appearances) wears in the comics
@WanderingNerd21 technically 13 in name, but the two villains are Heinrich Zemo and Helmut Zemo
7:25 In the comics it was adhesive x (instead of Virus X) super glue that couldn't be separated from whatever it glued together, That's why the mask became attached to Zemo
"African Kings clinging to walls distributing shields is no basis for a system of Avenger membership..."
I mean, if I went around saying I was an Avenger, just because some adhesive cat had lobbed a parma at me, they'd put me away!
And here we have the best comments of this section! Thank you both for the much needed laugh @@samfisk4848
Seeing them singing along to the theme song makes me sad knowing the people who made this show decided to remove it for The second season and replace it with a narrator. They’re going to be devastated
I remember I was peeved when it got shortened
Same here, but with any luck maybe there editor can put back into place@@anthonyvillanueva5226
I know!! It's awful.
I forgot it was shorted
2:03 someone might have mentioned it earlier or on Patreon, but keep an eye out on the end of that intro each time we either lose an Avenger (Hulk) or gain a new one. So awesome 😁😁
It’s all thanks to this show that introduced me to Zemo and why he’s one of the best villains in the show
I just love Baron Zemo's VA Rown Atkin Downes is also TF2 Medic's VA. You can almost imagine him as Medic if he wasn't completely insane-type of evil. But more on the sophisticated type.
I also really love how they really just build up the team through starting episodes, instead of like having everyone assemble at the very start. Really helps flesh out each member.
If Zemo gets added to rivals he needs to come back
@@MegaMaster1021 It would fit too, since EMH Cap (Brian Bloom) already voices Rivals Cap
Do you mean Robin Atkin Downes? Rowan Atkinson is Mr Bean.
His VA is Robin Atkin Downes
Rown Atkinson is Mr Bean.
Right right sorry lol
Zola was created 10 years before Krang.
Kang? or is that someone I don’t know
Krang from TMNT@@nathanielsaunders9815
@@nathanielsaunders9815krang is the villain from tmnt
@Hiro-rx8yb isn't there a fantastic four villain named krang? Namor's general?
@swslwatts doubt he lookes like zola tho
The way the intro changes when a member joins or leaves the team is a nice touch!
5:57 Something that needs to be clarified is that the Supreme Leader of Hydra, after a certain Austrian painter, is Zemo, not Red Skull or Strucker. They were merely his generals and apprentices; the true current leader is Zemo.
Rocking out to the theme is mandatory, so damn good!
Gotta give credit to Wasp coming in clutch. Sometimes I feel she struggles to keep up with the other heroes, but she rocked this episode. Curious to see if that opinion changes during this rewatch.
yeah, when this series first came out i was worried she was gonna be what jubilee was to the 90's X-men cartoon; the stereotype ''comedy hero that gets taken down to showcase enemy power'' with only a few highlights of her in girlboss mode.
janet gets her time in the sun and more
I confess, I too sing along with the theme song of this show!
Every single time.
Fun detail about the opening: pay attention to the line-up of Avengers at the very end and you'll see that it changes periodically. Currently, Hulk isn't in the line-up at the end of the opening because he left, but he'll show up again when/if he rejoins
Thor referring to Iron Man as "robot" was the worst choice of words to try to clam Rogers down, all that did was make him more on edge
Although, Cap using the word "automaton" means it's possible he wasn't familiar with the word "robot".
Well, season 1 of What If...? did have something more akin to the classic Arnim Zola, when he took over Ultron's body
Idk if someone pointed it out during full length but we were missing hulk in our little assemble line up during the intro. The keep that fairly updated to tell you the status of the team
The one thing I always appreciate about the opening song at the end is that it shows the Avengers that will play a part in the episode under the A.
Originally Zemo senior developed Adhesive X that Cap spilled on him. It wasn't a virus, it was just superglue! 😂 His son takes over as Zemo in the present day. Here they just merged them
They finally find Captain Puerto Rico!!
(Yeah, the design its obviously for Puerto Rico's flag!!)
Cap is here!! hype. i love this version of cap and tony
i also sing the theme every time, its too damn good
1:17 I love that y'all love the theme song this much! It truly is a banger!
I love MCU Zemo, but this is by far the best adaptation of the character. Zemo in this show is a total badass, but actually kinda scary. They actually made a dude in purple sock mask intimidating.
This version of Zemo gave me ridiculously high expectations for the mcu version to live up to. This is the best version of the character.
We got Robot Zola with What If Season 1 taking over (spoilers) Ultron's body
Zemos voice actor is great
Press E to call for Medic
@nesrovlahsurvivalist8399 I knew i recognised it from somewhere lol
I was absolutely waiting for Cap to throw his whole fist at tiny Janet. It’d be wrong but hilarious.
Zemo’s “mask” isn’t a mask anymore
It’s his face. It’s fused to his skin as shown in the flashback when he tries to pull it off
*Zemo
I can't imagine how painful that must've been.
Yeah, ran afoul of an experimental weaponized adhesive being developed for use against allied forces. Karma, schadenfreude? Either way, it is very much being hoist by his own inhumane petard.

Fun fact Downstait who made the intro song has made themes for WWE
Fun fact: They combined Heinrich and Helmut Zemo in this show.
Your gonna love what zemo will do a couple a of arcs hehe
I do like how they solved the comics’ Zemo timeline problem by just making Heinrich immortal, but at the same time I feel like it shot them in the foot for potential future seasons being able to do the Zemo sort-of redemption arc, since it relied on Helmut being Zemo and learning from the mistakes of his father.
Well he's technically immortal, so he might have done the deed with someone down the line.
@@fenrirsrage4609 Fair, though I suspect this series would've simply gone a more standard route of having Heinrich eventually form the Thunderbolts and betray them, as Helmut did, and then let them have their usual redemption arc while he remained a villain.
Baron Zemo is so cool and the fact hes voiced by Robin Atkin Downes (aka TF2 Medic) makes it even better.
I love how much you guys love the opening. It really is THAT good.
This show has one of those intros that you NEVER skip
Fun fact about Zemo in this (also the fact this is the BEST Zemo I've ever seen personally), he's voiced by The Medic from Team Fortress 2! I immediately noticed it the first time I saw this series when he was screaming after being hit with Virus X, the sound of his scream is the same as the Medic's. Another perfect role for Robert Atkin Downes!
Cap is joined the squad, & a new team of villains are on the rise. What is The Black Panther's goal with the Avengers?
Everytime the intro starts i always wondered why did that hydra ship attack that building in particular
Like one of the goons was an ex employee of that building
Zeml owned Strucker and Reaper. I dont know which was worse: Being scoffed as a child in an old man's body or being dismantled in seconds.
Black Panther always getting Captain America a shield.
It's been a long time since I watched this show but I'm surprised at how good the animation holds up. That Wasp fight in the hallway went pretty hard.
Watch the lineup for the Avengers, before they shrink and become silhouettes, it changes almost every episode.
Does anyone know why they stop reacting to Creature Commando ?
"We need Captain America's DNA" "I'll bring you his head!" Wouldn't it be easier to steal some hair from a comb?
I just noticed that Zemo is voiced by the same actor as the medic from team fortress 2
This is one of my favorite episodes of the series.
This show made me love Captain America and go see every Captain America movie in theaters
I mean they are fully assembled, because this is a full team. The roster always changes and evolves.
Cap is here and he's living up to the legend. The MOE is assembling as well
so did they drop/stop watching creature commandos?
I'm wondering the same thing
no, they were on holiday break and will probably upload soon
@@nottherealben ah makes sense, probably had shows queued up to release during the holiday.
This show did the Kang storyline and secret invasion storyline better than the mcu
Wich is not that hard lol
The Masters of Evil are coming
It brings me great joy to see how much you guys enjoy the intro song. It's such a banger!
It's never brought up again but Wasp saying "it's complicated" when Cap asked "what are you?" is because she's secretly a mutant and only Hank knows
How Ultimate.
Love The Theme Song
Random: the new gi Joe comic part of new energon universe and under image publishing laws by Robert Kirkman (invincible and walking dead) I imagine duke voice be like cap here and same for cobra using zemo voice.
once Hawkeye joins the party I think this show becomes 10 better. which is saying a lot because it already was amazing.
4:35 Cap wake's up, sees a boat full of immigrants and throws his shild immediately at them
What did they mean by this 🤨
As Thor said, Cap is a warrior and he thought he was still at war, where the United States was fighting with Japan and the Nazis, that's why Captain America looked at the Japanese immigrant, thinking that the camera was actually a weapon of war fired at him.
Steve is the son of Irish immigrants
I got a question for you guys.Would you be interested in reacting to these 3 movies?The rocketeer 65 and axl
Have a good time on next episode guys a very important marvel character appears next episode and he’s actually getting his own show. Wonder man
THAT'S Zemo
Peak Thursday returns
Basically Virus X is killing him but also kept him alive so im not sure how useful it would have been in the war or something with Barons DNA kept him alive
Question why only one episode a week?
You gonna react Hulk vs Wolverine Movie this will awesome Fight
This is awesome!!!!
Continue to Watch creature commandos episode 5 and 6
Are you guys doing the Animated spider man trailer reaction

From what someone explained to me, Super Soldier is which a Human is capable of doing all Human World Records
the serum allows steve to go to just beyond human potential; if only barely
hence why the man can jump out of a quinjet into open water without a chute, watch him in this show, his favourite fall-breakers are insane
_"Super Soldier is which a Human is capable of doing all Human World Records"_
That's in the ordinary comics universe (Earth-616), in the Ultimates universe he's clearly above human levels (as is the case in the MCU which takes from both 616 and Ultimates). In this show it's left vague.
Spoiler free:
A fun fact about the super soldier is not only does increase strength, speed, muscle and bone density but also slowing down the ageing process
In fact in the comics, steve had the super solider serum removed from his body causing him to rapidly age into a 90 yr old man
Henerich zemo in the show shares the same fate with henerich zemo from the comic with both versions adhesive x which is super stick glue which was splashed on zemo purple hood causing it to permanently Stick to his face causing him to go mad
In fact, history would repeat itself with henerch son, helumt zemo who also get his purple mask stuck his face too
Baron zemo isnt the only purple hood wearing super villain in marvel, there is also a character named hate monger who wore a puple klans hood and was revealed to a clone of adolf Hitler
Japan participated in World War 2 with Germany. For that reason, Captain attack the Japanese person.
I feel like yall would love the Lego ninjago theme
Where is skeleton crew?
When u guys are doing squid game 2 reactions should start atp
Zemo and zola let's Go
Steve Rogers - the last shield bender.
When are you reacting to Doctor Who - Joy to the world?
they said they're on break but they'll get to it when they return
You guys are not reacting to squid game? 😔
Original Zemo and Zola were too goofy for the MCU, but not here.
america time
Im kind of surprised that Cap didn't recognize Black Panther, considering in the comics he fought T'Challa's grandfather and lost
I mean this is a different adaptation so it’s to be expected it’s not exactly like the comics
@@kingsireeI think he could be referring to some EMH comics
For some reason I have a EMH comic with Thor meeting Hercules so there could an EMH comic with cap talking about his missions during WW2
Even though this show was good it sadly got cancled after season 2.
Hopefully Blind wave will react to Avengers Assemble.
The first two season of Avengers Assemble are dense but it get better at season 3.
