Avengers Live!

Avengers Live! is an idea episode of Marvel's Avengers Assemble.

Plot Synopsis
Hawkeye, Black Widow and Thor are living (what appears to be) a modern idyllic suburban life in New Jersey with seemingly no incidents to predict. But knowing that this sitcom-like life is not what it seems, Ms. Marvel and Vision team up with Spider-Man to find out what is really happening, and end up discovering it is all forged by the manipulations of a super-criminal known as the Sitcom Master.

Plot
In the Parker residence, Kamala Khan is with Ava Ayala are watching a few comedy shows on TV (although Ava is not much of a fan) while Vision is with Peter Parker and his aunt May, who are helping him decide what he should wear in a date he just scheduled with his secret crush, with Aunt May giving him supportive advices over his feelings. Meanwhile on Zarda's island, Thor and Zarda are having a sparring match until they suddenly disappear in a flash. From a laboratory in the dark, a mysterious figure is shown analyzing data on computers, which inform that Thor and Zarda have been successfully included "to the cast".

Meanwhile, in New York, Black Widow and Hawkeye are chasing after Doctor Octopus and Erik Killmonger after they stole some Vibranium from the Wakandan Embassy. Just as they defeat the two villains, however, they discover that the container does not have Vibranium, but a teleportation device which zaps both heroes and villains, and traps them in the same place where Thor and Zarda are at. Back with Kamala and Ava, the TV suddenly blasted white lights, placing the people in the house in the same placed everyone else is.

Suddenly, Kamala and Vision wake up in a beautiful mansion confused on where they are. They suddenly notice Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Thor acting very strangely, and addressing themselves by different names. Zarda appears out of nowhere and starts singing how much she loves Thor while going over to his house to give him a kiss. Remaining himself, Vision (discovering that the Avengers are being put on a mind trance) exacts to restore their minds, starting with Kamala and Ava (who are acting as girly "best friends"). Unfortunately, only Kamala was able to be freed due to her mind not being directly connected to the sitcom's control. Before they can free their teammates, Dance Master shows up and performs a strange dance that forces Kamala and Ava dance uncontrollably, until Vision (still immune to his control) neutralizes him, freeing Kamala and Ava. However, they soon find out that he is merely an agent to the mastermind behind the situation as the trio interrogate Dance Master for some answers. Suddenly, Ava's mind turns back into the sitcom form as Vision and Kamala learn that the only way to turn everyone back is to defeat the mastermind, who is secretly watching them in an unknown location, through a television set and talks to Dance Master through a cellphone, sending him instructions.

Trivia

 * The episode is a homage to WandaVision, a Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries, airing on Disney+.
 * How Vision breaks the characters out of Sitcom Master's control is similar to how he does in the series' episodes 5, 6 and 7.
 * Scarlet Witch posing as joyful neighbor "Elise" is similar to Agatha Harkness posing as "Agnes" in WandaVision, but for a more heroic motive.
 * While talking to Vision about his relationship with Wanda, Peter mentions having been hanging out more with Mary Jane Watson, confirming that they are a couple.
 * Both Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel break the fourth wall in this episode twice: first when they introduce the audience to Scarlet Witch, and then in the closing of the episode.
 * The characters "portrayed" by both heroes and villains in Sitcom Master's show are parodies of known Sitcom characters:
 * Black Widow and Hawkeye were brainwashed to become the happy married couple seen in every sitcom. Their portrayal are influenced on couples on shows like the Brady Bunch and Full House.
 * Ava was brainwashed into becoming Kamala's character's very girly best friend with a big grin on her face. Her portrayal is based on [a known girly sitcom character]
 * Loki is both Sitcom Master's right hand man and poses as the grouchy neighbor "Mr. Peabody". His personality parallels the one of Squidward in Spongebob Squarepants.
 * In the sitcom show, Zarda is Thor's girlfriend. Also, she sings every time she speaks.
 * Doctor Octopus is shown having been "cast" in Sitcom Master's show as a henpecked plumber named Bob. His portrayal is heavily influenced on TBD.
 * Dance Master works for Sitcom Master and is sent to use his dancing powers to control Ms. Marvel and Ava.

Continuity trivia

 * At one point, Spider-Man and White Tiger notice Doctor Octopus (as Bob the Plumber) and Loki (as Mr. Peadody) having a serious argument, which Spider-Man references to a grudge they hold since their failed partnership in Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors episode "The Avenging Spider-Man, Part 2", on which Doctor Octopus turned against Loki for treating him like a slave.
