What's the Story?
MARVEL FUTURE AVENGERS (2017-2018) is an anime series that follows three young people with immense powers as they learn what it takes to be part of a team of superheroes. When young Makoto (Max Mittelman) learns from his friends Chloe (Dina Sherman) and Adi (Xander Mobus) that they were genetically engineered to do Red Skull's (Liam O'Brien) evil bidding, he escapes Hydra Island and seeks help from Tony Stark (Mick Wingert) to rescue his friends. Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers are able to save them, and offer them apprenticeships so that they can eventually become part of the superhero team.
Is It Any Good?
This fun, youth-oriented anime version in the Avengers universe features all the energy and humor the franchise is known for. While the team is doing what it can to save the world from powerful enemies, the three apprentices manage to get themselves into interesting situations, thanks to their youth and impatience.
Watching the up-and-coming superheroes interact with the Avengers is entertaining, and appearances by folks like Deadpool, Spiderman, and Ms. Marvel add to the fray. But like most installments of the franchise, there's lots of fantasy violence that goes along with it. But no doubt that Marvel Future Avengers will provide lots of entertainment to the young fans who tune in.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how Marvel Future Avengers fits into the Avengers universe. Do the stories featured in this series work with other Avenger plots? Or is this installment completely independent from other series and movies in the franchise?
Is it possible to produce superhero TV shows and movies without violence? Or is this just an accepted part of the genre?
