There are other shows that Marvel could benefit from bringing back
Marvel has had several animated hits in the past, which had been canceled for various reasons during their original runs. One such property wasAvengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, which was canceled because Marvel wished for the animated properties to look closer to theirMCUversion, giving way toAvengers Assemble, which replacedEMH. However, given how radically different the MCU is as compared to its inception, now the time is right to reintroduceEarth’s Mightiest Heroes, picking up right where the second season left off.
Shows likeWolverine and the X-MenandX-Men: Evolutionare also fun takes on the Mutants of the Marvel Universe and could be reintroduced in multiverse episodes inX-Men ’97, before taking on a life of their own. Marvel could also benefit from bringing back theFantastic Fourin animated form, perhaps in their 2006 iteration, or via the reviving of theSilver Surfertelevision series.
