Avengers EMH: Season 3 (Chernobog1595 Version)

When the hit TV series, Avengers EMH, was stated to be canceled, this was done for a variety of reasons. The big reason, of course, was that the Avengers movie had changed the way every looked at the famous superhero team, and that Marvel's Man of Action studio wanted to cash in on the movie's success by focusing all efforts on the creation of a new Avengers series primarily based on the movie's versions of the superheroes. Fans were not pleased at the resulting "creative output" placed on the original Avengers series's last few episodes as a result of this, as one of the show's major villains, Surtur, was still stated to be on the loose, and yet the series was instead going to have the barely foreshadowed Galactus be the final villain instead. But Jeph Loeb did claim that the new show, "Avengers Assemble", was going to be a sequel series to Avengers EMH, so maybe there was still hope for the future series. But what happened in between both shows that could have lead to the team's roster changing to its movie incarnation with the addition of the formerly brainwashed Falcon? And whatever did happen to Surtur and the Enchantress? Well, this fan season will try to explain these questions in a much less confusing manner than what Man of Action tried to answer in their own way.

Edit: Now that Avengers Assemble has been released, it has been revealed that the show is actually in the continuity of the much-reviled Ultimate Spider Man series, the whole "sequel to EMH" claim was merely just that, a claim to help pacify the fans until the show could be released. Although the series is liked a little, it still garners criticism for being too snarky, Saturday-Morning-Cartoon type storytelling with no overarching story arcs, and for being yet another attempt by Marvel to market the already getting overused Avengers movie. With that said, that still leaves us with the dangling plot threads of EMH that were never resolved proper. Thankfully, this fan page should try to clear up those questions as much as they can...

Plot
As mentioned before, this season focuses on what happened after Galactus was banished to the Negative Zone. The Avengers have managed to prove themselves as the Earth's truly mightiest heroes, and what's even better, the mistrust and deceptions spun by Queen Veranke and Pitto N'ili have finally dissipitated for good with Captain America regaining the public's better opinion about him. But this peace is an illusionary kind of peace. While the Avengers and their superhero allies were too busy trying to stop Galactus and his heralds from consuming Earth, Surtur, king of the Fire Giants of Muspelheim, and his villainous servant, the Enchantress, have begun to plan the final stages of the destruction of the entire universe, as they have created a list of possible seekers of darkness to help them in their quest. What's even worse is the fact that the Breakout's effects have yet to be resolved as many supervillains are still on the loose and could be abducted by Surtur for his plans at any moment...

Even more so is the fact that the Avengers team is starting to grow larger and larger...too large, in fact, for Captain America and Iron Man to lead properly! What's a superhero to do in these situations? Why, simply put, divide the Avengers into various teams: East, West, Secret, and New Avengers to help cut down on the slack and to better stop Surtur and the remaining supervillains on the loose so that the Earth can truly be at peace!
