The Avengers Had KIDS And It RULED | NEXT AVENGERS 

I don't know who thought that the premise of a movie about the children of the Avengers should be about them AVENGING their parents, but I think that person deserves a raise.

Honestly, the fact that Thor and Hulk were not a part of the Avengers when Ultron attacked makes his victory make so much more sense

About Hawkeye Junior leading the survivors, he very much seemed like the oldest of the kid Avengers. Pym being the youngest around maybe 11, Azari somewhere in the middle around 13 James and Torunn being probably 14, and Barton seemed more like 16 seeing as he flirts with Torunn. He sounded and looked just a bit older but not *too* much older. And living in a post-apocalypse metallic city would mature you faster in certain ways to be able to survive. That along with obviously having some of the skills of his father clearly make him qualified to lead despite being younger than the other survivors.

The thing about Ultron is that he ALWAYS has a backup plan and never stays down for long. It's entirely possible that he's been beaten before in the past perhaps even by Hawkeye and Hulk. Banner likely knew that this victory was a short-lived one and so choose to retreat with Betty to find a new place to lie-low. It's possible that Thor was also biding his time waiting for a better chance to intervene or gave up after trying to defeat Ultron for years with no real success. The kids would almost 100% be forced to face him again. I know the tone of the finale is fairly positive but even a cursory knowledge of what it means to be fighting an AI means that this is only the tip of the iceberg for them.

It makes me happy I'm no longer the only person that loves this underatted classic. Especially its technically a sequel. I wish this cinematic universe continued.

As a kid, this film was my introduction to Ultron. Needless to say, it was one hell of an introduction.

I always had that same thought about Thor leaving Humanity to die. But recently, after he truly became King of Asgard in the comics, gained extra power Galactus, fought Knull all of that. He sat Down with Cap and said "How long has it been since we last fought together? Was it knull? Was it something else?" And he explains that although The Avengers are some of the people he cares about the most... they are just people. They will eventually die of old age and he will be left without them. He explains that as an Immortal Being who has lived for eons. He relishes every time he comes to earth because time is not the same for him. He never truly knows if the last time he was earth, is the last time he'll see his friends. And when I realized that's how Thor sees it, this movie breaks my heart. Maybe he let humanity die. Hell, maybe he even did it because he didn't think he could beat Ultron and he couldn't let Ultron find a way to Asgard. Whatever the case may be, he left his daughter with the people he trusted most assured she would one day find him. And then he leaves, only to look back and realizes the people he loves most, are gone. Thor may be a god, but I doubt even he could mentally handle that when it happened. I don't forgive this Thor for leaving humanity to die. But I can understand it just a little bit better now.

I'm assuming there was some legal rights with the X-Men, because unless I'm remembering wrong, Azari's mother is never named. He's the son of Black Panther and some unnamed woman who is very obviously Storm.

Wow! Noah Crawford here (voice of James Rogers). Your video randomly popped up on my home page and was such a blast from the past to watch. Voicing Cap's son was a dream come true and I'm so glad people had as much fun watching it. Thanks man. Loved your commentary and perspective. Made my day.

Thor sees time differently. He’s immortal, and he was immortal for thousands of years before he ever met the Avengers. We see him talk to Cap in the comics about how, in the relative of his own life, he’s really only known Steve Rogers for about a minute, and Steve will be dead and gone before Thor even knows it. Human concerns don’t work the same way for Thor. Edit (7 months later): I've found the exact quote, from Thor #15 in 2020. I thought I'd add it here, for further context. It is as follows: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thor: "Captain... let me ask you a question... When was the last time we saw each other?" Cap: "What? I don't understand..." Thor: "Humor me." Cap: "We fought against Knull and his armies. We faced the Phoenix Force. We... I'm sorry, Thor, I don't understand. Why do you ask?" Thor: "Because I don't. I don't remember. I never do. You see... immortality... it comes with a price. A moment for you... a battle, a war, a minute, a day... they are remembered as seconds for me. I remember them as a mortal would recall what he had for breakfast a year ago..." "It is why... why I am always so grateful to see you... you and the others... My perception of time... Each time I return to Midgard... to fight by your side... I am always so very glad that you are all still alive. I have..." "I have lost so many here... And I have missed their passing... Missed their entire lives -- entire lifetimes while I was out playing soldier for my father amongst the realms..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rest isn't especially relevant to the topic, and more about how he's losing access to Mjolnir at this point in the comic's storyline. Later in the conversation though, he does say this: "I have come here to tell you that I will live a thousand years and a thousand lifetimes more." It's not a matter of Thor not caring, he just genuinely doesn't experience things the same way we do. I admit, I don't think I really remembered it properly, but a lot of the things I said in the initial comment still apply.

I loved the scene when Tony was giving the avengers nicknames like iron man the knight black widow the spy black panther the king it pays so much respect to the avengers and makes them seem so cool and when James calls iron man the knight my heart both bursted with joy and broke with sadness

Honestly having Hulk kill Ultron was the only way they could’ve beaten him with how hard they built him up. Dude eliminated nearly every hero, nooo shot those kids were gonna take him down. Plus I like the symbolism of Hulk ripping apart the AI created by the Avengers that only sees him as a monster.

Man this movie was great in my childhood and still great now. Also a couple of fun facts that I might’ve figured out about James Rogers and Azari. His name “James” could be a reference to Bucky aka the Winter Soldier since his real name is James Bucanon Barnes. So maybe Steve decided to name his son after his best friend which is awesome. As for Azari, the reason he has electricity powers on top of the Black Panther ones, is because his mother happened to be Storm from the X-men. And yes, this is peak Ultron. This was the Ultron I actually wanted the MCU to do.

Steve and Nat IS the ship, mad respect to the Russo Brothers for ignoring the dumb Hulk Widow ship and still gave Steve and Nat more chemistry in both Infinity War and Endgame lol

Ya know if Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes continued, there were plans to have them travel to a dark future where Ultron took over. I really wish the MC2 comic books allowed the Avengers to have kids, would've been fun to see Spider-girl interact with the son of Captain America.

Ultron was so genuinely horrifying and fearsome in this movie. I was so hyped when Age of Ultron was announced...

One of my childhood favorites, glad I wasn’t the only one who felt so attached to this one! The best version of Ultron on screen imo & such a powerful ending to the animated Marvel universe

1. I was surprised when I learned that this movie was an original story 2. I also started shipping Cap and BW because of this movie, now I ship her more with Bucky 3. This movie gave me very high expectations for Ultron in AoU 4. It wasn't until recently that I realised Azari was Storm's son

This was my first exposure to Hawkeye. While we didn't actually see him on screen. We learn so much about him through the way others talk about him, and the legacy he left behind.

whenever hawkeye appeares he steals the show, even if it's just his son. bro has the coolest design of the bunch, is an actual badass, and has mad rizz.

" I had a crush on Toreen because she was so...sick" Bro avoided the fbi with that save

I can’t help but love the vocal performances in this movie, Tom Kane went absolutely wild in this movie, especially with him revealing he killed Cap first, and that James will follow suit. Plus the stakes. We see the remains of the suits of their parents, we see the menace of ultron, and the final battle and James nearly gets disintegrated. It all felt real. Great video as always. Cheers.

Poor James, that Captain America ultron bot did not want to pay child support.

I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid. Forget the MCU, I wanna see more of these five.

If they had just given Thor some line about how Ultron ensured he could never set foot on Earth again or he would also die, and that it was BECAUSE Torunn had flown into space that he was able to see her at all I would be willing to accept it without much thought. It would make his absence make sense. It would make her actions be more important in how things shook out, even if she didn't know. And it would make her decision to stay on Earth more impactful because it really is an either/or situation.

Although I like the MCU’s version of Ultron as an alternate take on the character, I agree that this version of Ultron is probably my favorite. Watching this film as a kid and seeing him actually beat Iron Man was terrifying in all the right ways. I was thinking to myself “ah gee wiz, Iron Man got his butt kicked his guy is for real.”

I watched this movie so many times as a kid (pretty sure I still have the CD somewhere) , and I genuinely think it deserves more recognition. Ultron in particular was absolutely *terrifying* and I was so disappointed that the MCU version was more quippy and philosophical than cold and calculating

Funny thing is, some of them are older than 15. James and Torunn were like 4 or 5 in the beginning scene where Tony is telling them the story, and the movie takes place 12 yrs after that. That would make them at least 16-17 years old. Azzari is probably like 14-15 and pym is like 13. Francis is probably the same age as James or possibly a year older, so like 16-18.

Bro James and Francis shaped my childhood so much, I grew up with this movie and I absolutely adore it. I just wish I knew where I could find it, since the DVD I had of it got lost a long while ago.

I agree with you on Ultron. A cold, menacing, emotionless, robot who actually scared me a little when I was kid and is actually my favorite Avengers villain. Also, I used to have this theory that Thor actually died by the hands of Ultron because we see his tombstone in the Avengers memorial site and that since Torunn did die, what we see in space that’s supposed to be Asgard might actually be Valhalla and that she was brought back to life by Thor who at that point must’ve been the new Allfather.

Id argue the ending was needed. Like you said, the kids got a reality check on how strong they are vs the world.

Am I the only one who's mad that Next Avengers, Planet Hulk, Ultimate Avengers and Hulk VS aren't on Disney+?

This was a blast from the past. I remember seeing the Iron Avengers, how devastating it was to see them get defeated and turned into Ultron's puppets. And it never occurred to me that it was the sequel to the Ultimate Avenger line of movies either. Such a treat to see it revisited like this.

Young Avengers: • Azari T'Challa, son of Black Panther & Storm. • Francis Barton, son of Hawkeye & Mockingbird. • Henry Pym Jr., son of (Gi)Ant-Man & Wasp. • James Rogers, son of Black Widow & Captain America. • Torunn Thorsdottir, daughter of Sif & Thor.

That shit was sad as hell too. Banner being so old and missing his old friends

I actually caught the final battle of this film when I was a kid, and for so long I wanted to watch the full movie, and by the time I had access to the internet I'd forgotten the movie existed. Genuinely thank you so much for making me remember this movie.

This is possibly the lionsgate movie I watched the most as a kid, I love so much and still feels nostalgic, wish we got more from this characters

This movie is so dope and has really intriguing take on what the Avengers children would look like and set in such a bleak future but still retain their youthful hope and optimism. BTW Ultron in this movie is utterly terrifying

I know we never got to see Spidey in the Animated MCU but to think that Ultron had killed him in this universe is sad.

I remember I went as James in high school, and everyone was confused when I said he was the son of Cap and Black Wodow

Can we talk about how during the story Tony refers to the Avengers by titles instead of their names like calling Cap “The Solider” and Black Panther “The King” like Tony what are you doing? Do you think he thinks he sounds cool doing this…because he doesn’t.

This films iron man design is my favorite one by far, the green energy goes hard

This movie was the first time I ever saw Ultron and it was as a kid. Needless to say, whenever I saw him again in media growing up, I always got massive chills.

Torinn was so cool that I have always wanted her to actually be in the comics

"y'all remember this?" .....surprisingly yes, despite only ever watching it once

I actually liked the Legions Ultron. He’s emotional because he feels scarred by his meteorite, Tony Stark. And he believes that it is his purpose to bring order and peace to the e world by destroying it. He’s poetic, he’s elegant, but still heartless. It’s irony, he may be a heartless machine but he’s feels human. He has layera

Idk maybe “going back to Asgard” is a metaphor for dying

I watched this movie so much as a kid and I still feel like it holds up, I also only put together recently that Azari's mom was Storm and I remember being really confused as a kid as to why he had sparky powers, I think the movie only says that "the king found his queen" and doesn't call her out by name but it makes a lot of sense

For the longest time I always thought James had a robot arm in reference to Bucky Barnes, also being named James, and that this movie was an alternate reality to Earth’s Mightiest’s Heroes since they have a similar cast (Minus Captain Marvel)

I remember watching this film but forgetting the title. I had no idea this was my first exposure to Ultron, as I kinda forgot about him until his MCU debut, but this film actually made him a threat this time, so kudos

This show honestly was my first introduction to who the Avengers were, and honestly I learned a lot from just this. More though, Ultron. This movie DEFINED him for me the rest of my life. This is what I expected Ultron to be when they brought him into live-action, and I was disappointed when they didn't despite giving us some very dark/creepy undertones that I thought would carry over from this.

I wanted Ultron to be a bigger threat in the mcu. They could absolutely bring him back tho. Like how did a magic rock blow up a non physical murder AI. Age of Ultron was an awesome movie in retrospect with Ultron’s honestly scary dialogue, but it could have been so much more. Bring Ultron back and run it with like a marvel zombies style apocalypse story with the remaining mcu characters (and maybe some new ones) Like it doesn’t have to be in context of the rest of the movies because who even follows the story anymore this is the multiverse now, not just the mcu.

Yes, this movie did rule. Thank you Browmtable for covering all of these forgotten, ignored, and underrated superhero animation projects. Everything you have covered thus far have been things I watched repeatedly as a child and loved when compared to the more popular stuff. Everything from EMH to The Ultimates and this. Keep doing this series Browntable! Godspeed.

I remember seeing this movie on Netflix for like 6 years straight, being mildly intrigued, and never actually watching it

"these kids need to go to therapy" 10/10 bit would watch again

In my opinion the Thor being alive plot would have worked better if they did it so Thor had to sacrifice himself to become her sword. That way he never actually abandoned his daughter but was actually with her the whole time, it also makes sense that the sword would come to her when she's asking for help from her Dad. You can still have the scene of them reuniting, it would just have to be in her head instead of literally in Asgard. I know its a bit silly of an idea to have Thor turn himself into a weapon but I don't think its that farfetched for a comic storyline.

This is what I wanted Ultron to be in the MCU. Absolutely terrifying.

Great video. This movie was a hidden gem of my childhood. Also, apparently Francis, James and Torunn are all 17. The artstyle just makes them all look younger.

I remember watching this movie so many times as a kid, I loved the animation, the premise, the villain, the hulk being old but still strong, it was just overall my favorite movie as a child.

0:04 Yes I do remember this. Although I was just 3 years old when it came out and I didn’t remember it I later got a dvd of the Ultimate Avengers movies and the Hulk vs Wolverine series a couple of years ago and the dvd had the Next Avengers Heroes of Tomorrow movie in it and I watched it often at my paternal grandmother’s house. I personally loved the movie and it was the movie that made me become a fan of Romanogers ships due to James Rogers cap and widows son of course being one of the main characters in the movie.

I always presumed that Thor was unable to return to Earth since Ultron found a way to prevent the Bifrost from reconnecting to Earth (possibly via some sort of jamming frequency on his being), thus Thor was only able to appear once Ultron was destroyed.

having this video pop up on my recommended unlocked a core childhood memory for me. i COMPLETELY forgot this movie existed and how much i love to watch it!

First time I ever heard about Ultron, needless to say my brother and I were very scared heading into Age of Ultron because we thought everyone was guaranteed to die. Caps son was one of my favorite superheroes when I was younger

Was anybody else terrified of Ultron after this movie?

I swear this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I really liked the son of Black Panther and Storm, Azari. Dude was badass.

To be very honest I saw this before when I was little, I rewatch it as well and it’s so good. It makes me wish they would continue this with the story of the next avengers

This was one of the strangest memories from my childhood. I remember watching this and loving it, it was probably like the purest form of being in awe of heroes as a kid. But I NEVER heard a peep about this anywhere else and honestly I almost forget it exist sometimes. Glad to see a video about it.

We’ve finally acknowledged this movie the world is healing

I enjoy the ending of the new avengers because it shows how weak the kids are, ofc they can't defeat ultron on their own, and as cool as a team fight would be, it would kinda feel un earned in my opinion, they're in over their heads, and the best they can hope for is for the hulk to get more mad and kill ultron while he's distracted. Idk, I felt like it was cool that they didn't give the main characters an impromptu power up cause they have to fight ultron, they are still kids, they are still weak, and I like that

There's something about Steve and Natasha that's just way more wholesome than him and Peggy.

I remember watching this not too long ago and I’ve never remembered of it’s existence since, and one frame was enough to give me a huge rush of nostalgia

Francis is Clint Barton’s middle name

I remember when i watched this as a kid i should give it a re watch for sure.

I was only 2 when this movie came out but I came across the dvd at walmart when I was young and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. During that time I didn't have cable so I would watch this movie over and over and I was amazed the first time. It's incredible. It was so cool to see a different universe than the one J was used to and each of them are so cool. They were even featured in the comics at some point. Torrun, Azari and Francis are my favorite and the storyline was just so good. Plus the way they did Tony and Bruce was perfect and Ultron ended up being pretty scary too. I think everyone should watch this!

My personal headcanon is that when Hank died in UA 2, Wasp was already bearing his child. I also envision that even though the past Avengers look like their 616 counter parts, I often see it as how their children viewed their parents in their heads. We even see the Iron Man armor from UA in this movie too so I see that possibility.

My guy just awakened a deep suppressed memory forgot about this gem, thank you sir 🙏🏽

I STILL HAVE RHE DVD FROM THIS MOVIE, it got me into marvel it means so much to me.

dude ultron in this movie was so amazing. he was intimidating and every scene he was in was so nerve wracking. then we got metal pinochio in the mcu

If you pay attention to his design and color scheme, Kid Hawkeye also resembles Mockingbird who may be his mother. Her and Clint Barton had a prominent relationship in the comics.

This movie had so many plot holes but as a child that never grew up with cable or cartoons and finding it in the library dvd section it was amazing, but as a child I came up with my own ideas of why there were so many plot holes. Thor being he had to quarintine Earth so the larger marvel universe swarming with alien life didn't fall under the tyranny of Ultron

I loved this movie when i was younger and still do but am amazed it is getting remembered by more people to this day

This has always been one of my favorite movies as a kid!! I wish Marvel would bring back animated movies!!!

This is how you do a next generation story without pandering and This Ultron was always my Favorite villain because he’s portrayed as a Artificial Intelligence done right as he Thinks of logic and i like that this is the first story that changed his creation and tony being the last surviving avenger and vision One of the things i love about this movie is how Tony was handled taking care of his friends Kids and wanting to protect them this is how you do tony stark as a father figure All in all a great classic of my childhood

"He is Constructed Alternatively" "He's built different " Catchy

This movie still holds up for me! I love the idea of the OH Avengers having children and become heroes like they’re parents. I even made my own updated fan art of them.

I loved this movie so much as a kid it made me happy to see my favorite superhero ironman still going even at 60+ years old the final battle was pure gold tho this movie needs a cinema sequel

Ive literally veen thinking about this movie recently, such a classic

i love that how instead of saying " he is built different" he says " he is constructed alternatively" im gonna steal that

In the words of Brock Rumlow: "I've been waiting for this!"

I wanted a sequel for this movie so damn bad when i was a kid.

when i was growing up, my grandparents had one of those minivans with the little tv screen, and this was the only movie they had for it so every time we went out with them we watched this movie and it is one of my favorites of all time now.

I really miss the freedom this movies had. That series of lionsgate movies and even the g4 anime series and movies. Disney doesn’t let them do that. I wish they kept it going like dc did.

Finally this film gets the praise it deserves

I am so happy someone decided to talk about the marvelous craftsmanship of this film. For a hole in the wall film in 2008 it was a piece of art in it's own category. Thank you so much for covering it. 🙏

I like that James is obviously named after Bucky. Even wears a similar outfit

"Constructed Alternatively"... I'm stealing that for personal use.

I loved this movie as a kid! Watched at least 8 times over!

i remember watching on youtube on an old 2009 tablet and it was the best thing I had ever since, and I loved the movie so much, but never saw many ppl talking abt it, so thanks for making a video abt ti and bringing more attention to it!

Bro this movie made my childhood. Ultranationalist was such a menace that 8 year old me freaked when age of ultron came out

this was my most fav movie as a kid. This what got me into superheroes and thank you for actually talking about this movie
