That looks awesome, and the animation is friggin top notch. I am so down.

I'm so here for this. I was in when they showed Captain Carter, but Killmonger saving Tony? T'Challa as Star Lord? Man, these just look great. The only potentially weak offering I see so far is Marvel Zombies, but who knows, that may be a pleasant surprise. Literally, Marvel has not let down the side yet as far as I'm concerned, so I have confidence in them telling an interesting story.

That's great. I've always felt like this kind of story telling is one of the best parts of the comic book set up.
Being able to establish the core concept of a character through main stories, then explore other possibilities with swaps or references to the core, without having to reestablish every single element of the characters and the world, and tell new stories and explore new concepts, is really nice.
I feel like that's one of the reasons why a lot of folks enjoy stuff like the SpiderGwen, old man logan, and Spiderverse stuff.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I personally love the art style - reminds me of Spiderverse & Mitchell’s vs. the Machines.

Seen a lot of comments on Reddit disappointed about how it’s not got the actors for various characters voicing them, and my feeling is like - well yeah, isn’t that a good thing?
It gives Marvel an opportunity to explore different comic arcs and do soft ret-cons/reboots without affecting generally beloved existing characters within the franchise. Same with the art style. Frankly I’d _rather_ they did this - it keeps the franchise fresh.

Better to spend that budget on the actual show rather than the salary of big name actors.
Yeah, it's a bit disappointing that Tony & Cap have different actors, along with some others like Doctor Strange & Gamora, but I was actually surprised at the HUGE number of actors that did reprise their roles.
It'll also, afaik, will be Chadwick Boseman's final performance.

Oh...an "AniMarvel"
Right?! Who wants a comic book with movement? Give me static frames and thought bubbles or I'm out!

But... I mean, there are a LOT of the actors reprising their characters here... Sounds like people are just looking for something to complain about here.

Going by that list, it looks everybody who played a previously established live action character is returning to voice their animated counterpart.

Unless I’m missing someone, every character who is still alive in the MCU canon is being voiced by their live action counterpart.
That probably isn’t important, but it might be…
Edit: never mind, taserface, killmonger and Yondu are there, and Star Lord is Chadwick Boseman. My theory is nonsense.
