All they needed to do was add Black Widow, who had been in the show from the beginning but wasn't an Avenger (she was a SHIELD agent who used to work with Hawkeye). The others were already in the roster.

I wish that a Power Man Iron Fist spinoff was able to be created. I appreciated the adult versions of those heroes for their few appearances.
That really was a great show. All the characters were just great.
I would have preferred this over cancelling the show, but I don't think it would have ever felt natural. They would have had to write out some of the best Avengers in the show - Hank Pym, Wasp, maybe even T'Challa and Carol for a few seasons. Also Black Widow is usually not as appealing of a female Avenger compared to Jan or Carol (the EMH version especially).
Truth be told I didn’t mind the rebooting so much as the huge dip in quality; both the animation and the storytelling took huge hits.
Thanks for the clarrification. Outside of the Black Panther mini at the end, I only caught the first couple episodes of Avengers Assemble before deciding it wasn't for me... but now that I got Disney plus (for Mulan) part of me has been wondering if I should give Avengers Assemble another shot. But maybe my free time is better spent watching reruns of Earths Mightiest Heroes instead.

I'll give Assemble points for the Thunderbolts and Squadron Supreme
"Cable was right!"
The last line is so true and makes me sad that the Distinguished Competition has been hitting it out of the park for years with their animated shows and movies.
I could have cared less for Harley Quinn for example but her cartoon is a gem, highly recommended. Marvel can't ever seem to come close to match their quality at any level.
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist
I was actually really disappointed that the quality of marvels cartoons actually dropped when they were bought by Disney. I thought being purchased by arguably the greatest animator in human history would actually increase the quality of their animated stuff. But so far not so much.
Compare them to Disney's other TV cartoons like Recess, not their movies. Lowers the bar a bit, right? The Aladdin films show this contrast well - in the first and third ones, Genie was Robin Williams. In Return of Jafar, he was voiced by Dan Castelleneta (Homer Simpson). It was actually compiled from the TV series spin-off.

And their take on Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet wasn't half-bad (aside from the dumb Mecha suits).
I think part of it is that the Marvel cartoons are seen as less important than the movies and as more of a way of promoting the movie content more than just standalone and integral animation works in their own right.
I'm pretty sure even if it gets revived Jan would turn into Hope.
