A cute show! Full of great Marvel characters, a lot of them actually! Liked the plot, the different storylines and sup-plot from the comics, it's a 7/10 from me!
That series is really terrible.It has the worst elements from the comics of the 90's:armor instead of super-hero suits,deformed-looking characters (Wonder Man muscles are twice or three times his head) and simplistic plots.Although the comic in which is based,West Coast Avengers,was good,sometimes even better than the main series,they completely ignore it and make a mix between super-heroes and power rangers,with Ant Man and the Wasp using combat armors and even including the usual ridiculous suit change sequence.The amazing thing about this series is not that it only lasted 13 episodes,but that they didn't cancel it sooner,probably because the didn't have any replacement yet.
Animation shows have come a long way since 1999. Watching "Avengers: United We Stand" felt like going back in time and observing a relic of the past. Certainly 1999 was almost twenty years ago, more than half my lifetime and I think if I was a child when the show came out I would have given it a much higher score. I recognize that rating the show's quality on today's standards will be skewed and partisan. Keeping this in mind I will review the show as a modern viewer intended for a modern audience. If you are a die hard fan of the Avengers and/or have nostalgic feelings towards the turn of the 21st century era than this show will appeal to you. The thirteen episodes in season one (and the only season for this series) focus on the Avengers team comprised of Ant Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Vison, Falcon, Tigris, and Wonderman. They battle to save the planet (it wasn't enough to save just Earth) against the likes of Ultron (who was created by Ant Man) and the Zodiac squad. The line of up Avenger characters was surprisingly refreshing. Although stalwart characters like Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow and Black Panther were missing, I found this cast of characters enjoyable to watch with their varied personalities and gender balancing ratio.
The biggest criticism I have of the show is that the story line was too one-dimensional. Almost like the show "Scooby Doo," each episode had a very formulaic structure where the Avengers needed to save the day and by the end mission was completed. I understand with a superhero show there's only so much variety you can have but I think what could have improved the plot would. have been delving into the backstory of the characters. Each of the Avengers seemed to have a lot of interesting history but virtually none of it was explored. The animation though simple and a little pixelated was colorful and the characters were attractive. Overall "Avengers: United We Stand" is a fun throwback show from yesteryears but unless you are looking for a nostalgic respite from the modern fast paced and intricate Avengers series I wouldn't waste my time.

SERIES ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER.
This series starts from nowhere in the midst of THICK plot that could have been interesting to see and for like half the show or less and then move onto the other thick plot that was there. It even had fillers... The voice acting was pretty meh and characters sounded confused, lmao. No origin stories of nobody. Also adult avengers act like small kids with tantrums. Basically a lot of mess and whatever potential it had, it just didn't want to put it into focus and structure. I'm glad there were no dominant/main avengers like in the live action movies for the most part and it was interesting to see other superheroes.

This really bad series insults the classic comics at every turn. Everything that was great about the comics is twisted and ripped apart here. The stories are bad, but the characters are even worse, most of all Hawkeye. If anyone from the show reads this I suggest you do the following. 1) Bring back Captain America, Iron Man and Thor on a permanent basis, no cheap guest appearances. 2)Get rid of Hawkeye. In the comics he's cool, but on this show, you hope he gets shot so he'll shut up. 3) Get rid of that stupid armor or whatever it is. It's just stupid and makes most of the characters look that way. Either do all that or see the show cancelled. Your choice.

- TriviaTentative plans for additional episodes featured: Hawkeye's return to the carnival where he grew up; an exploration of how Scarlet Witch discovered her powers; guest appearances by the X-Men, which would have utilized the Toronto-based cast from the series since Tony Daniels, Lenore Zann, and Ron Rubin had already worked on X-Men (1992); Dr. Robert Bruce Banner (a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk) appearing to help the team when Henry Pym/Ant Man fell ill to gamma radiation exposure during a fight with the Egg-Head; and a two-part episode featuring Thor and his brother Loki (there was even a Thor toy made for the show's line of action figures). However, all plans were scrapped when the show did not return for a second season.
