Yes and no.
Like most Marvel cartoons, it was aimed at a younger audience than 90s Spider-Man or X-Men were, so it would never have got the respect or older fandom they had, but it wasn't really that bad for what it was, or what it was trying to do. Adult comic fans who weren't the target audience just screech about the costumes not being comic-accurate, or it not having the solo-book Avengers characters, as if the target audience of kids would know or care about any of that.
"No Big Three" wasn't the death sentence for this cartoon, the death sentence was when it was broadcast. Avengers and Spider-Man Unlimited got sent out to die in the same timeslot as Pokémon, they never stood a chance of most kids even knowing they existed.
For the cast they used, it has a reasonable take on most of them, let Hank Pym be the leader without anyone overshadowing him, and this is still the best, most-accurate version of Wanda in any cartoon, shame they gave her a love triangle instead of just doing Wanda/Vision. Ultron was the main villain but somehow the Zodiac were the better villains.

>Censored her in the Chip n Dale movie
Why is the Mouse so fricking gay?
This show's Tigra also had the same VA as Aisha in the English Outlaw Star dub
Is it possible to be typecast as a cat person?
Looks like it
It was more recognizable that she had the same voice as Rogue from 90s X-Men, only not doing the same Southern accent, so it's not as memorable.
You talking about Tigra?
Because Aisha's voice is unique, I have no idea why she went for a raspy troath cancer voice in the dub when in the original Aisha has a cute high pitched voice, but it is anything but not memorable
that's what I call The Queen Tyr'ahnee Regret of animation studios
Or just them being prudes long after the fact.
It looks like a fake tv show inside a cartoon. It doesn't help the fact that the shading and color grading in this show is fricked beyond repair.
>Luke Cage
>Black Panther
>Storm
>Falcon
>War Machine
>Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau)
>Blue Marvel
What a fricking line-up
Wanda's accent in this cartoon was sexy as hell, and that's as good a reason to watch it as anything.
I remember being extremely disappointed by it as a kid when I found out about it, I didn't understand why they didn't used the main Avengers.
It used five of the "main Avengers", plus Tigra, Falcon and Wonderman. Avengers has never been just three characters, and you were probably one of the only kids back then who even knew about the comic.
And the reason is that Marvel wanted separate solo cartoons for Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, as well as an Avengers cartoon, with four separate lines of toys and merch. The Iron Man cartoon had already happened, Captain America was in development but got cancelled, they never even started work on Thor.
I remember finding it more "eh" rather than outright bad.
My main problem with the show is that somehow for all its shittiness, the Fantastic Four cartoon left enough of an impression on me to remember DOOM but I could barely remember any of the villains on this show. Maybe Ultron but only because he kept appearing over and over not because he seemed cool enough to remember.

Genuinely surprised he's what you remember from it, and not that theme song. Or Johnny's Flame On song.
I do remember the theme song (though I liked both Iron Man seasons intro music more)
Somehow Johnny's rap went past me as a kid and I only rediscovered it as an adult with addition of some meme value.
Are you telling me you don't remember Ghost Rider pulling up out of nowhere, shitting on Galactus, and then just leaving?
it introduced me to a lot of marvel characters... but yeah it wasn't great.
It always bugged me that they showed the big three in the opening credits.
