User blog:ARTaylor/The End of the Avengers?

IGN has posted an article noting that while the Avengers are dominating in theaters there are other articles indicating the end of the popular series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

They pointed out that in recent interviews, head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb was non-committal about a season three of Avengers and only talking about the future of "The Avengers" universe. The series began before The Walt Disney Company's purchase of Marvel Entertainment. While he has indicated a future for the the team of Earth's mightiest heroes, Loeb has been vague on the ongoing series. Ultimate Spider-Man and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. seem to be in the same continuity because of the casting of Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man, which leaves Avengers out due to different producers.

Loeb told Collider that while the show has a "tremendous following" with its serialized style, they wanted to go with a more individualized format with Spider-Man. It has been stated that the rest of the season will feature more individualized stories, with these episodes being made under Loeb's direction. Reports have stated that Leob has clearly been against story arcs spanning multiple episodes.

Joshua Fine said that he could not answer any questions about the series while Christopher Yost claimed he was just a writer and no longer involved in any creative decisions.

Marvel declined to comment on the future plans for their Marvel Universe programs. A report claims that no official announcement will be made yet as Marvel does not want to impact ratings of the series. It should be noted that the series only had fifty-two episodes initially ordered, which is fulfilled by season two. Comic Book Movie noted that the move would be similar to the cancellation of The Spectacular Spider-Man and they fear a new series would meet a similarly lower response.
