Episode Review

Solid episode, perhaps a bit weaker than the last couple but it had its moments. Some great action some fun character moments.

One of the great things right in the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes has been the evolution of Hank Pym. Where we see him just turn into this? And Yellowjacket was the latest stage right now.

If I had a minor quibble, the Avengers are characterized well yes, but there is just something about them that seems off in a couple of places. Then again, these episodes are not as bad as I had feared. There is some righting of the ship and it really did get the best of the both words, with the self contained nature of this show.

Not rally many dull moments as given the self contained nature, this episode was more fast paced.

Final Thoughts and Rating

7/10 once again for a solid episode. As always you can watch Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Episode 44 Yellowjacket legally on Disney XD in the United States, among other means.
