Back to the MAU... or MCUAU.... or whatever they call this universe. I've been wanting to talk about this show, but struggle on writing the script. Thanks to Vol. 3 I got the inspiration and finished the review. Kind of short, but it's done! Let's see how many people remember this existed.

Fun fact: James Gunn watched the show and hated the song choices. I’ve no idea why but he has stated that he hated the song choices for the show.
🔄
Is that true? I tried looking for proof and couldn't find anything 😅. Also makes sense cause they barely used licensed music and just stoped playing them in season 3
@@JohnDavidGamez I’m just going off of what TV Tropes said on this show’s trivia page. Most of the stuff on that site tends to be right anyway so…
My guess is that he hated them because they just chose popular songs. James Gunn usually picks songs that fit the theme of the movie.
@@rpmguy648but they almost all are popular anyhow.
Gamora being racist to humans in this show is weird and ironic to me, considering she falls in love with Nova in the comics and Star-Lord in the movies
Which makes no sense she herself was human before tanos abducted her and should be that to tanos the guy who literally abducted her.
@@hamzahnurreez8420Thanos*
@@twilimess oh yeah thank you for the correction and sorry.
I don't think she was racest to humans.
That wasn't Gamora, that was Rocket.
The problem with the show is it tried way too hard to be like the James Gunn movies, while also trying to adapt the Brian Michael Bendis.
Unfortunately both of these things didn't go so well.
The thing is it can be done, the latest guardians game proved you can mesh the comics, and the films while also doing your own thing. But the keyword here is your own thing. By trying to be the films while also being the comics, the show simply didn't have the vision, nor care enough to try make it work. Their priority was sell the MCU. Nothing more.
you have a lot to say on this particular video.
Really, my problem with the Disney XD Marvel animation shows as a whole was that the universe was so inconsistent and disorganized. Each show would literally retcon events, character designs, their shows in general just to fit with the movies and the people behind behind these shows just basically said get over it.
I also agree that the best parts of the show was where they were taking inspirations from the comics rather than the movies or theme parks. I also didn’t like how this show along, with Avengers Assemble ended the way it did. Like all the other marvel shows that came out before Disney Plus existed such as Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, Avengers Assemble, and The Runaways, I feel like the reason why the show ended the way it did was because Marvel and Disney were starting to go through some changes around the time Infinity War and Endgame came out.
And every season literally retconned universe events 😣😵💫
My favorite moment is when the white Baron Mordo, without any explanation, just turned black.
@@xperson838Blackface....
Man of Action (Ultimate Spider-Man and their own Avengers show at least in the the first 2 seasons of both), Paul Dini (Ultimate Spider-Man, Hulk and the Agents of SMASH), Marty Isenberg (this show) and Kevin Schnick (his nerdy Spider-Man)
The only show that didn't really BREAK any continuity was Ultimate Spider-Man. No sudden "animation changes" to match up with the MCU or whatever.
That's mostly because Spider-Man wasn't in the MCU during its run, and by the time MCU Spider-Man came to be, Ultimate Spider-Man was wrapping up
They completely wasted the Guardians disbanding concept. One would think that Peter would move back to Earth and search out whatever family he has left. Rocket and Groot are a pair and would never leave each other. Drax from the comics has a two adopted daughters. Gamora and Nebula would team up and disband Thanos's empire.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (the MCU movie) did the ‘disband’ concept better
Having that joke with Star-Lord and his grandpa would've worked better In the middle of season 3, not the end.
And by that time the MCU was just a joke.
@@harryfleutv666
It could have been a Saturday morning 80's type cartoon....But it was just a forgettable Disney channel cartoon Bruh😢
Same 😲
Can we all agree that the guardians of the Galaxy animated series was not just a mediocre adaptation of the James Gunn movies but also the Brian Michael Bendis comics.
Granted the BMB comics are... Not that good and were even more mediocre than the show, but at least there were some good things about those comics.
The Guardians got new members such as Iron Man, The Thing, Agent Venom, Captain Marvel, Thor's sister Angela and Kitty Pryde.
Jeez, Disney DX’s marvel shows are a bigger mess than the dceu lol.
But hey at least they’re way better than TTG
DCEU could have been much better if WB hadn't forced others to rush everything.
No it wasn't,they weren't dark, gloomy,not funny, overly destructive.
No it wasn't,they weren't dark, gloomy,not funny, overly destructive.
Both are terrible 😞
This really should have been more like Guardians of the Galaxy and vol 3.🎉🎉🎉
Peter Quill's sister actually comes from the Brian Michael Bendis comics.
Thanks for that.
Marvel's Cosmic Saga deserved a better adaptation than a Disney XD show.
The Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy were soo good and had some of the best storylines in Marvel.
chill with the commentsw bro
He ain't chilling with pfp as well💀@@bruhgamer316
Mantis as a villain just doesn't work.
Even in the original Guardians of the Galaxy comics by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, she was a member and Ally to the group.
Yep, I agree with you
She didn't have to join, but she still should've helped the Guardians.
I am so hyped for your Hulk and the Agents review. My disgust for that show runs too deep, and seeing someone else talk about it will be cathartic.
Agreed.
That show was only created because Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel TV wanted to force his awful Hulk comic creations down everyone's throats
@@Magmaster13 And it backfired immensely.
@@crystalias2546 But the first season is ok, after that it's very very very bad
I remember there was a short period when I was a kid where I remembered enjoying the show somewhat. But I never went back to watch it like I did with other shows of my childhood so ig at some point I realized it wasn't worth my time.
Am I the only one who is still BLOWN away by the fact that Star-Lord from EMH was voiced by Steve Downes aka the Master Chief.
wait what?
Voice actor doing a voice role is crazy yeah
@@LucasZukasJesus fucking Christ, you obviously know that they mean that they were surprised to not have recognized his voice. Keep that Reddit attitude for when you’re perusing your incel subreddits.
I know him as Ron Stoppable from Kim Possible, and I won’t lie, it’s very distracting. It just doesn’t totally work, at least not for me
@@musicaddic95Will Fritlle was Ron stoppable.
Gamora with no eyebrows just isn’t right
She always had no eyebrowns, you should said actually is she's not had markings in her face, look Marvel Studios stuff, even in What If... she has markings
The biggest problem was the Disney XD's shows trying to intertwine themselves with the MCU, while at the same time, trying to do their own thing, which was very apparent even as a kid.
It just left everything a convoluted mess with random storylines happening with no basis, characters randomly changing designs, personalities, or even just showing up out of the blue. Not to mention this was supposed to be a continuation from EMH, and let's not start with them trying to connect all the shows together.
There's good, or at the very least interesting, ideas in the shows but they never last long and some even handled really poorly
It really says something that even as a kid you get fed up with the bs
Yeah, because every season and series literally retcons events from the universe 😣😭🙄
@@ptypekoffline03 And so much more!
I know it was a show(s) designed for kids but I'm still surprised they decided to continue these shows with how disjointed and messed up they were
@@chasgalaxy6721 +1
I get your critiques but it’s not a continuation of EMH
@@Cdr2002 I thought it was, cuz they had the mansion and everything in the first episode (which got destroyed) and then you've got random easter eggs in later episodes like Hawkeye's old mask.
Even the first episode is setup like it's continuing from... something at least
This show certainly isn’t the worst but the continuity errors are a major problem
Oh well, every season and series literally retcon events from the universe 😣🤔🙄
The show was OK for me, but I lost it after the 3rd season, couldn’t even finish it mostly due to broken continuity. Same with Avengers S5.
Just make these shows be in their own universes.
They completely wasted Korvac.
One of the most strongest Cosmic characters in the entire Marvel Universe and they waste him in a... dating episode?
The Avengers literally died to this guy and this is what they do to him.
4:08 i really didn't like his deadpool voice it was just annoying, nolan north would have been better as he had past experiences playing him
Will Friedle needed to bring more Terry Mcginnis to this role and less Ron Stoppable
Yo he was Terry too?! That's amazing
So are u telling me Eric from boys meets world was Batman Beyond and Ron Stoppable?
@@Pwilliams4000 yes
@@maldon3659 that’s crazy!!!
Godzilla Mendoza said the same about Deadpool.
This show, according to Marvel wiki, used to be part of Earth-12041 before it became part of Spider-Man TV 2017 show
Yeah, because every season and series literally retcons events from the universe 🙄
Guardians of the Galaxy animated series made me hate myself after every episode. I hated myself for wasting my time watching this trash TV.
Boy, ain't that the truth?
I recently watched Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and I will say that this is what Disney/Marvel's shows should've been from the start, not whatever this is
Agree and as a Marvel fan and Those Disneys XD shows didn’t oppressed mean just there to capitalize on MCU brand there own Timeline.

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!! SHUT UP! OH MY GOD I DON'T CARE!"
The Dan Abnett Guardians of the Galaxy was used in Avengers EMH.
The Guardians of Galaxy animated series was based on the very mediocre Brian Michael Bendis Guardians of the Galaxy comics.
Thanks for the Info.
I'm looking at Avengers Assemble and Guardians of the Galaxy's Wikipedia pages and they both had their own shorts. Wonder what you thought about those.
Post the Yoshverse all the Marvel cartoons were a mess. The Guardians meet Thor for the first time.... 3 times in the same continuity.
We should have gotten a Dan Abnett Guardians of the Galaxy animated series.
Dan Abnett wrote the best Marvel Cosmic stories from the 2000s.
Annihilation
Annihilation: Conquest
War of Kings
Realm of Kings
The Thanos Imperative
Annihilators
Annihilators: Earthfall
Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning wrote/illustrated Marvel's best cosmic Saga.
As much as I love the annihilation saga, it doesn’t make too much sense to adapt.
The modern guardians is how most people know them, so it makes sense to make them the focal point. Not to mention that most animated marvel projects still try to be geared more towards family friendly than less, meaning we wouldn’t get nova disemboweling annihilus
@@phabiorules
Some changes would have to be made but it would still have to have the same stakes and seriousness from the original comic.
Also a lot of cartoons didn't have to openly show death, it can be implied or shown off-screen through shadows or characters shaking their heads in sadness.
X-Men evolution, X-Men 90s and Spider-Man the 90's animated series.
@@phabiorules
Classic Marvel animation did not shy away from showing or implying death of characters be they Heroes villains, and civilians.
This has been a major problem with Marvel animation especially in the 2010s.
Marvel what if can get away with showing death and having steaks... The problem is is when they bring in the trademark "Marvel humor" that ruins a serious situation.
I have almost no faith that Marvel Zombies will be good especially with the cast of characters in the lineup. Two out of the four will probably die and only the popular ones will make it out of that season alive.
As for the upcoming Spider-Man freshman year I feel they will build up towards Norman Osbourne's fall to the dark side and becoming the Green Goblin in that show's universe.
We will see Norman grow close to and have parental relationships with both Peter and Harry which will make things even more sad and heartbreaking due to us knowing what his ultimate fate will be in the future.
The shows animation quality changed just liked how avengers assemble's shows animation quality changed to match the 2017 Spider-Man cartoon animation style when previously all of the shows were trying to match ultimate Spider-Man's animation style as all of the shows are supposed to take place I the same universe
I like to think because of these continuity errors, Guardians of the Galaxy isn’t part of the MAU, and is rather in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man and Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest.
Yeah, because every season and series literally retcons events from the universe 🙄
@@ptypekoffline03 Yeah, the universe is more consistent if we ignore this show all together
Wrong guardians of the galaxy takes place with the other MAU shows
@@gregtheradical Keep telling yourself that 👍
@@DangerFan_1it’s weird for a couple of reasons #1 I thought thanos was dealt with in avengers assemble #2 matter of fact I thought they already met the avengers and spider man in avengers assemble and ultimate spider man even tho they were in their comic book outfits its still supposed to be the same universe yet the use the same animation style like what the hell
I kinda like the old Guardians costumes look
3:32 yea, i agree. Not the best choice for Star lord, whether you compare him to Chris Pratt, or in EMH where he was voiced by the mother Fn master Chief.
Can you tlk about hulk and agent's of s.m.a.s.h?
I'd love it even though I've never watched either of these recent Marvel cartoons. There's also a review from Ranger Review on the show.
Gamora’s forehead is throwing me off ngl
+1 😂😕
As a reward for all the tourture you put yourself throught with these 4 shows you should review the dcau show. Which are
Batman the animated series
Superman the animated series
The new Batman adventures
Batman beyond
Justice League
Justice League unlimited
The dark age of super hero cartoons began with Ultimate Spider-Man. The dark times. We still haven't recovered.
2021-present was the revival era
X-Men 97 is the exception, no the norn.
No respect to the Dan abnett Comics whatsoever.
They didn't even bring back any of the voice actors from EMH.
20:40 iron man is the only one with SHADING
"Will Friedle voiced Ron Possible"
Am i a joke to you?
All I can say for the show is that Rocket sounds annoying.
I tried to watch that show. Didn’t make it too far. It also had some confusing effects on the continuity
Oh well, every season and series literally retcon events from the universe 😣😵 💫
@InevitableOption-ic2vx Yeah
Marvel cartoons from the 2010s do not leave a good or unforgettable impression, because The Earth's Mightiest Heroes is a memorable beginning 😵💫🤪
Bruh your videos are so fun to watch, you should make a video on 1994 Spider-Man
Mantis was supposed to be the celestial Madonna, aka not whatever the hell this was
Probably in the MCU, Mantis could be that

Taf tho I feel like this type of shows main purpose is to introduce children to the MCU and marvel in general which it did in my case.
Yeah this show like avengers assembled was a trainwreck from the very beginning
I don't think so, later it sucks --> Only the beginning of the first season is good until the nineteenth episode 😲😏😒
@@ptypekoffline03 I can understand that
@@ptypekoffline03well what’s wrong with the 19th episode?
@@gregtheradical i have no idea
When this cartoon told me it can do it, but failed, I said “Mediocre!”
I didn’t even know this exisres
Agent of smash was meh. I just rewatch this show a few weeks ago and I already forgotten about it. maybe it was made to be forgotten or they had so many idea in the wall but fall back to the movie in hope that this would be as popular as the movie. As for everything else it clearly they didn't finished watching avenger assemble to know that Thanos is dead in that show or something.
But the first season is ok, then it's very, very bad and every season and series literally reboot events from the universe 😣
@@ptypekoffline03 yeah I have to agree season 1 better than both season 2 and season 3 combined. At least it makes sense compared to the other season at least 🤔
I'm glad there is someone to suffer as I have (I watched all episode of hulk agents of smash)
I’ve been looking forward to this show! I can’t wait to see the Hulk show review!
I beg of you to please review Hulk Agents of Smash, you need to continue the Disney XD marvel universe.
Using music from the Square Enix GotG game. 👍
>"Black Portal is an Awesome Comic Book Event"
>Written by Bendis.
You're lying.
I completely forgot about this show after 2017 lmao
Final Space was the better GotG show. Shame what happened tho that series, even though I only liked the first season.
What I don’t like in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout is that Hela’s and Valkyrie’s new design since it tried to match the MCU version to pander MCU which it’s questionable and weird to me
I can't wait for hulk and the agents of smash review
nice review you described it perfectly the only thing i remembered was Adam Warlock
Love these reviews John David games of what I like to call "the undeserved trash marvel cartoon era" bc not a single show they did after this rebranding to be more like the movies has worked with marvel's spider man, avengers assemble, hulk agents of smash, and guardians were all bad. And it's crazy bc marvel was knocking out the park with their animated shows years prior with the holy trifecta of Spectacular spider man, wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers emh. How do they go from some of the best marvel shows first before butchering it with this "it's a shared universe to go alongside the movies but not really" anyway can't wait for you to finally be done with this trash universe JDG with the last video.
I’d also through in Fantastic Four, worlds greatest heroes. It was a little bit before the other shows (2006), but it was a great adaptation of some classic fantastic four stories.
@@phabiorules I also got to watch that show as well
Credit where it’s due The only thing that I did like about the show was mostly about Nova (Sam Alexander) like they did way better than Ultimate Spider-Man and while this show may be pretty mediocre In my opinion, I did appreciate what they did with Nova (Sam Alexander) his story it was on point, and I love how they include his mother and his little sister. That is the only one thing that I really did appreciate about the show everything else was pretty wacky my opinion.
I understand that the X-Men couldn't be used, but try to follow the comics.
I was looking forward to this and this was a awesome review I loved it good job john
Will should have used his Robots in Disguise 2015 Bumblebee voice, and not Ron Stoppable...
He's voicing a grown man, not a teen. Though that's more the fault of the voice directors, huh?
I personally think that season 1-3 of Avengers Assemble and ultimate spiderman were in the same universe but season 4 is in the same universe as gurardians and season 5 is in the same as 2017 spiderman along with the episode where the guardians meet spiderman
Which no doesn't make sense but it's the closest I could think of since the only reason they used 2017 spider man is because that was the spider man at the time so they had to use it. Also I'm still mad there isn't shading because it was done by Disney the richest company
It's also weird that the 2017 spider-man design is in the ultimate spider-man style
@@marlo176 I think because the 2017 style was so different then the Guardians of the galaxy style so they has to use ultimate otherwise it wouldn't look right
That makes sense, so I agree.
There was a tv show?
Why his Starlord's Voice too High Pitch in this Cartoon?
to think the game was the best thing with got from the guardians, love the movies too but the game just expanded on things so much.
Ok, too be fair. The new animations in the black mirror were kinda cool when I watch it.
Can you do a review of Iron Man armored adventures?
James Gunn should've just made the show, they wanted to recreate the magic of the movies, Gunn would've done it in a fun but different way, because he's the only one who can recreate his OWN MAGIC.
The greatest cliffhanger ever.
I could tell this was going to be shit just by looking at it. Just like the avengers series they cancelled earths mightiest heroes for it was made to capitalise on the mcu stuff. It was rushed out, looked bland and didn’t really care. I didn’t even bother to watch this show
Hi! I just wanna say that i love hour channel and that i would love for you to make a vid on spectacular spiderman and spiderman the animated series! And ik that you wont do that just cuz some random guy commented it but i still think that it would be a great video
This show was okay but season 3 is downhill so bad that i couldn't finished but there is stuff i liked from s1 & 2 star lord's comic acurate origine better than be a son of planet and he don't do anything with that giselle is the best villain in this series espicely season 2 and best thing is drax is my favourite character in this just like comics he strong serious does not understand the sarcasm and that what make him funny not that cliche mcu jokie character that laugh every 5 seconds thor and asguardians overall had major roles instead been just cameos espically in season 1 and enjoyed with adam warlock and nova arcs they carried season 2 other than nothing different with mcu except they made yondu clown in this series and that what i'm dislike the most
I was honestly hyped for this show when it was announced but it honestly just felt like an insult to the characters. Will Friedle as Peter Quill is one of the worst voice castings ever. He makes Quill sound like a goofy teenager which doesnt work for this material. I get theyre trying to make him sound funnier and child friendly but it just got goofy and embarrassing at some points.
The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are way better then the tv show
Exactly, characters as Star Lord's dad, Mantis, Adam Warlock, The High Evolutionary, Phyla are better in the films that Marty Isenberg's show
ah you gonna review hulk show next, its the one i remember the most
Will Friedle definitely could’ve done better. He voiced Batman Beyond. Terry and Batman both had distinct tones.
thank you was always on the fence to watch it
This series did a very banged-up job at trying to adapt the Brian Michael Bendis Marvel NOW!! Guardians of the Galaxy.
I know that those Comics weren't very good... But there were some hidden gems and some decent stories.
The Spartax Storyline was a pretty good overarching story throughout the BMB comics run, the inclusion of characters like Iron Man, the Thing, Agent Venom, Captain Marvel, Angela and Kitty Pryde expanded the teams lineup.
The Planet of Symbiotes storyline retconned and changed the Symbiote's origins by revealing that the sentient alien creatures are a benevolent race of Space Knights who must bond with hosts who have a pure heart and sense of Justice. The klyntar.
I really hate the weird realistic designs they have its so off putting
Will you review avengers emh after hulk aos
of all of the Marvel animated shows this had the Wasted potenel and it was Mediocre an I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy from the movies
If these shows were comics then I won’t be surprised if they didn’t have a editor.
Now I watched this show as a kid and I have a grate deal of nostalgia for it and the other Disney XD shows
Same xD 💪😎
Saaame
Is nobody gonna speak about Warlock's jem is Soul Stone that NEVER showed up in Avengers Assemble?

Thanks for saving me the time and money; almost bought this out of curiosity when I first learned of it's existence.
I watched this show when i was young, i remember loving it
Star lord sounds like the 2012 spider man
Oh and for the connected universe segment yeah the disney XD marvel universe gets worse when you realize that the cartoon avengers earth's mightiest heroes also takes place within that same universe which is proven sense in avengers assemble season 1 there's flashbacks with that show's animation style and earlier seasons of ultimate Spider-Man having those versions of the avengers show up on his show and the ultimate Spider-Man version of Spider-Man himself shows up I avengers earth's mightiest heroes
Batman Beyond is Star Lord!?🤨
