How to debuff Iron man: just make him a fucking moron

No lie, I thought this was going to be about the time Dr. Doofensmirtz took away the Avengers powers in that Phineas and Ferb crossover. That might be a fun April Fools Day episode to look at.

Hawkeye never played catch up in EMH, he considered himself too good for a group he has to save every week. And he was right. It's true in the comics... say it with me, "depending on the writer"... but in EMH, he was never out of his element. "Everyone's turned into Gamma Monsters? Who do I know who's knows this stuff? Banner. How do I get Banner out of the Hulk?" Hawkeye to Hulk "I'll beat you physically." Hulk:: "HA!" And Hulk was so amused he turned back into Banner which is how Hawkeye beat him. Hawkeye's experience gives him cunning, his cunning keeps him two steps ahead of the other guy. Clint wasn't included in Amora's spell not because he was underestimated, I think it's he can't be broken down by one quality. "He's a supernaturally accurate archer!" Yeah... but what puts him in the most advantageous position for that one accurate shot?

I made my girlfriend watch the series and she was so disappointed they didn’t finish this storyline. Then I had her watch avengers assembled and she turned off the tv lmao

Anyone else notice how Hawkeye is just a pro? He by and large just relies on skill. I liked in Thor he considered a rifle, than grabs a bow. He's sometimes arrogant, but he earned it. I love Cap. But Clint is the perfect soldier without a boost. I loved when Clint made a splint for Thor and then made makeshift arrows.

Honestly I first say this episode a few months ago when rewatching the show on Disney+. I was looking through Season 2 and it was like “Wait I’ve never seen this episode before wtf” so that was certainly interesting!

Tony losing his intelligence reminds me of the story where he had to delete all the knowledge in his mind to keep Norman osborne from getting it. While on the run you just see him lose his brilliance bit by bit until he's eventually little more than a vegetable. He was at the peak of his influence and status as one of the greatest minds and watching him fall like that, after Civil war sure, alot of people were ready to see that downfall, but its tough to read as an Iron man fan.

This is so strange cause as a kid I had cable for only a few years before my parents switched to satellite to save money, but I totally remember seeing this episode during my watch through of EMH, loved it even then honestly

I watched the series on Netflix and was unaware that this episode was cut in other things. It still annoys me that they didn't get renewed and all for toy sales and horizontal marketing.

It’s funny how Tony’s intelligence (and intelligence in general) is treated as a super power rather than a natural born skill.

With my mom we just finished watching EMH a week ago, and she is sad that there are no more episodes Idk how many times I had to explain her that the show ended 9 years ago

I'd love an analysis on Hawkeye as a character and how EMH did a great job making him stand as an equal among genius billionaires and literal gods

I think in many ways EMH is actually superior to the MCU films.

I think here in Mexico and Latinamerica the episode was indeed aired too. Anyways, I agree with you. This episode highlights the main characteristic of Marvel: Humanity. Great episode! I still wonder about this episode though, since it seems that, at the end, Surtur and Amora can't trust Loki, although in season 3 it seems they work togheter, and Loki is again trusted with destroying the Earth and the Avengers

Powerless is pretty high on my list, I think my first time seeing it was a sort of marathon of the series they ran on Disney XD during the build-up to the series finale. And even after all these years, I am still hoping for a season 3 of EMH to happen, mostly because Disney now has direct access to the metrics regarding the viewing preferences of their shows and movies, which means they can actually see just how well-loved, and watched, EMH is, in addition to purchases of physical and digital copies of the series for the private collections of fans to watch on other platforms. And I am with you, Powerless is a great look at Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man when they have super part of who they are stripped from them and we get to see their mindsets as characters and what the absence of these powers mean to them, they are in essence stripped down to the core of their characters. And the thing about Hawke Eye is that we know from his interactions in prior episodes, and the episode itself, with all the other members of the Avengers, especially those 3, is that even if he had been stripped of his fancy bow and assortment of advanced arrows all the way back to a more traditional medieval arsenal nothing would really change about him as a character. What makes Hawk Eye such an incredible ordinary person isn't that he had some natural talent or superior training or was born with access to resources or any innate powers, what makes him so incredible is that he knew he had no natural skills and chose to train in those skills out of necessity. Something I think a lot of people miss about Enchantress's depowering spell, aside from what probably flew over their heads before it was explained in this video, is that the spell specifically took away powers and abilities that were granted or innate to the individual, which is why Tony's magical lobotomy happened (Tony was always an innate technologically capable individual), Captain America's powers were granted to him by the super-soldier serum (the power it granted magnified his innate personality), And Thor lost access to both his mystical abilities and godly strength (both of which were innate to him as part of his unique lineage). But that's not the way for Hawk Eye, he had to work to get to where he was, because of his background as both a member of the Circus of Crime and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent both forced him to work for what he earned and prove his skills in trying situations.

Funny enough, I bought the complete series of Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes on DVD & this episode was inside season 2 DVD. This episode was pretty interesting. Showing that even without powers, as long as you have the spirit & heart of a hero, you are still seen as a hero in people's eyes. Let's not forget that there are still doctors, policemen, firemen, etc. And these people are also seen as heroes, because they always do everything they can to do the right thing, no matter how hard it is.

I am a German fan of this show for at least ten years. That they cancelled the show was one of the biggest sins in Marvel TV history.

7:26 Hawkeye actually has pretty impressive powers in this show... like the ricochets he pulls off sometimes are like... they require a beyond human level of instinct or math.

Also, I love how you end your videos by instrumentally playing “Always Will we fight as one, until the battle’s won”

This is one of my favorite episodes. I always love it whenever Clint has a chance to shine and EMH really had that in spades

First time I saw Powerless was on my first viewing of EMH on Netflix. I guess I was just one of the lucky ones. Anyway, as fun as the episode was when I watched it, I will admit to having some beef with it on my second viewing. The entire episode seems to have a point of Thor learning to be humble, but that never seems to be much of a problem before this episode? The one with Spiderman and Captain America was one I really liked because it built off the Skrull Invasion episodes a few episodes back, and that's one that I think worked really well as a character driven story, but for Thor learning humility, I just felt it was done better in the episode with the Malekith episode. Anyway, that's all I gotta say. I really need to sleep now.

I love this show and I think that it’s probably the best piece of Marvel Animation (including Spectacular Spider-Man, I like that show too, but I think this one has the edge.) When it was first airing, I loved it, but I don’t remember watching this episode, partially because I moved, and being like 7, I didn’t know how to find it on the new TV. But years later, it was on Netflix, and I watched it again, and I fell in love all over again. This episode was listed in the correct spot there, and it makes me so upset Disney+ has it as the finale. Still, great job, it’s nice to see someone still praising this show for all of the things I always have.

Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were caught in the area of effect, Hawkeye wasn't. The spell was meant for Thor alone, Tony and Steve were just collateral damage.

God I loved Hawkeye in that show EMH and the others getting cancelled is the MCU's greatest sin

I rewatched Earth's Mightest Heroes a few years back and Powerless was one of my favourite episodes. I love the occasional episodes that go into the characters more than plot. Plus the theme song of the whole show was what kept me returning back when I was a kid and made me go looking for it as a teen at the time as I had never fully watched the series, or believed I hadn't anyway. And I wish they continued on with this series instead of Avengers Assemble. I could not watch more than 3 episodes. And it's the last episode of season 2 of Earth's Mightest Heroes is probably the only one I dislike, mainly because it felt rushed as they had to wrap up the series.

I First saw it on Netflix when I was younger. I was so sad when I discovered that this awesome show was cancelled like Spectacular Spider-man.

This show made me like hawkeye a lot. It shows why he deserves to be in the avengers

by the way, comparing what if with Ehm is something that has been happening to me since I started with the series, and I don't think it will stop, because there is still enough left. I don't remember all of them now, but a couple of examples would be (spoiler) -When at the end of episode 3 Loki is speaking to humanity and telling them that he is going to be their king and all, it reminded me of, obviously, the epic Captain Skrull speech -the end of episode 4, where the protagonist realizes that everything he did so far for love led him to madness and uncontrolled power, so he ends up heartbroken and isolated from everything, and then the credits begin and end silently. That describes what if episode 4 and Michael korvac episode perfectly

one of my favourite episode is the one featuring Beta Ray Bill it shows what drives Beta Ray Bill and Thor even Sif gets the spotlight

It's weird that this never aired apparently. I remember watching it, but never owned any dvds. Mayhaps I caught it during a marathon rerun or something. I still lament the shows end and wish it didn't get the axe alongside Transformers Animated for the sake of "movie accurate representation".

I remember watching this in the US, this was one of my fav episodes and i would rewatch this a lot. Keep up the great videos! I love them!!!

I'm in the US and I've definitely seen this episode before, but I can't remember if I saw it on Disney XD or on Netflix when the show was still on there...

As mentioned in the post, I saw the series on DVDs (but approximately at the time it was still on the air, between 2010-2014), and I was able to enjoy this great episode, although I'm not sure if in my country it was on television. Either way, you narrate the show's interesting off-camera facts pretty well, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I just found your channel. I was a huge fan of this version of the Avengers. I became rather disappointed by Avengers Assemble replacement because this version was so good. It's great to discover that there's a community of people that share the same affection for it. Thank you for doing these videos.

I was a big fan of the show when I grew up watching it, but I've only seen this episode some years ago, when I got my hands on the DVD of the end of the series (this is my fav ep from the dvd, together with the ending ep with Galactus)

I’m from the US, and I remember thatwhen I was younger, there being some sort of australian (I think) tv channel that aired this show, and had full episodes posted to their website. It was actually quite a couple episodes ahead of the american version, so I was able to watch episodes a few months in advance. One of the episodes was this one (powerless), and I remember being really surprised when they skipped over it in the American broadcast

I saw this when it aired, I remember this, I loved this, thank you so much for covering this one !!

Never heard or seen this episode until I came to your channel bro! Thanks!

I remember watching this episode. It’s great. Despite them losing their powers and skills, they’re still heroes. Great video, cheers.

EMH is a very underrated series. Loved it on Netflix and glad it is back on Disney+. Glad the algorithm threw me a lifeline to your channel!

I remember when this episode air. I live in the US. I saw it on Disney XD. I enjoyed it but had no idea it's considered a lost episode.

I remember watching this episode as a kid and loved it just as much as the show. Great video as always mate :-)

I have remembered things i have forgotten for a million years. thank you

I do remember this episode. It's one of my favorites. So good at answering the question of "are heroes born or made?".

As someone else from the UK i also remember seeing this episode but it stuck with me a lot

I’m from the US and I do remember seeing this episode when I was younger. Kinda strange is was a “lost” episode because I saw it on dvd and always though of this as one of my favorite episodes.

Solid vid as always POG!

I had this episode on dvd, I remember it being one of my favourites.

I remember seeing this episode broadcasted in the Philippines. Definitely one of my favorites.

I saw this episode on Netflix when I was watching the series for the first time (outside the episode where red hulk was introduced. I saw that one on TV and THAT was my introduction to the show). So I’d say I got fortunate. I didn’t even know it was a lost episode.

I watched this show as a kid and loved it, I even kind of remember this episode. I never knew why they stopped making it though

Great job this is so awesome

I didn't have cable when EMH was airing. So I watched it on a alternative streaming site. I didn't know that it didn't air in the US.

There's just something about EMH that gives it alot of heart. It focused on how great and multifaceted each character was. There's so much I could say about the show ❤️

I remember seeing this episode ages ago, it was one of my favorites because it changed the story if only temporarily

Loving your videos on EMH, such a great show that needs more attention.

This was one of the greatest tv shows I had seen in a while. It was reaching Justice League/Unlimited levels. The world building was so fire!

I from brazil and i have all the dvds and i remember this episode. Its one my favorites

I'm binging the show again, this along with Transformers Prime made my child hood. Great vid btw

I was so young when this show first came out but I remember watching this episode live, when it first came out.

I grew up on this show and I’m glad to see someone giving it the attention it deserves ^^

From Canada here, I got to watch it and I loved it

I remember watching this episode as a kid I never thought much of it but after i watched the show last year on Disney+ I did find it odd that it was the last episode in the order of the show i didn’t know it never aired in the U.S. cause I’m in the U.S.

I remember watching it, it was one of my favorite

I actually saw this episode as a kid, one of my favorites

I remember watching this episode on tv somehow and I’m in Canada probably because I rewatched this series on DVD so many times

The balance of character and plot is the reason I love the good place so much. The plot is about becoming a better person. Every character development drivers a plot point, and vice versa. It doesn't stretch itself too thin by focusing on both, but links them to be one and the same.

I lived in Texas at the time and was waiting what felt like years for season 2 to air. I recorded and watched every new episode every Sunday. I remember this episode airing in the middle of the season just like every other episode, seeing reruns, etc. I guess I was one of the few who saw it aired like normal. Then I remember Disney+ coming out and showing this as the last episode, I was confused like, “what? Maybe this episode was the last production episode before it was canceled” it’s not uncommon for shows to show episodes out of production order. It wasn’t until recently that I learned the episode didn’t air until way later in some parts of the world. Still it was great to learn about what season 3 was supposed to look like thought with magic and mutants.

Thank you for mentioning Hawkeye he is so underappriceated.

I haven't consumed 98% of the content you talk about, never read a comic or watched any comic book related shows or anything. Hadn't heard of most of these shows either, but it's interesting enough as a film analysis that I keep watching.

Hey, I made it into a video. I love this episode so much! I really wish it was listed as episode 15, like it was intended (I originally saw it when the show used to be on Netflix, and it was listed correctly there.) It's not a huge deal in this case, but as a huge Firefly fan, I know how important viewing order can be.

It aired in Australia for ref I remember enjoying Hawkeyes turn at being a lead :)

This confirmed a theory I had when I recently binged it on Disney+. I thought it was an odd choice for the final episode of the series, so I figured something weird must have happened with it during initial release

I actually remember seeing this episode on tv as a child, about a little more than half a decade ago. It actually aired in Canada from what I gather.

I remember this episode. Good episode, great show!

I remember seeing this episode a lot on tv when I was younger,which is weird because I’ve lived in California my whole life;I still really like this episode.

I love how into this series this guy is. I was on top of it when it came out. I dont remember watching it on Disney XD. I was watching it online instead. I didn't miss this episode so I never new it didn't air here. I didn't really like the episode much anyway. The heroes kinda became weenies without their powers which I thought was a bit overkill but it was an EMH episode so that automatically makes it leagues beyond a lot of other stuff. I guess until I make my own cartoon I will be looking for the next hot Japanese property to keep me entertained.

This was one of my fav episodes ever

8:57 yep, I recall seeing it on TV too 🇨🇱

Even though I am in the US and only saw this show in reruns I did see this ep a few times it was either 2-5 in the morning on D.XD or Comcast on demand.

Well done earned a sub.

I remember watching that episode. It aired over here in Puerto Rico around the time that the show was getting weekly New episodes. Pretty cool episode

I actually do remember this episode, idk how I saw it but I definitely did when I was a kid

I remember this episode waaaay back when 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was one of the only episodes that I remembered the most of

I feel like Batman's crusade strips him of any hope for a normal and happy life even more so than Peter's

I actually got to watch this on TV, nice.

Never knew this episode was rare. I've just watched the show whenever i would see it on dvd, like 9 years ago lol

It's funny you say "you've never seen" when i keep thinking about this episode.

I don’t remember when I watched it but it was definitely on demand at some point as I didn’t have the DVDs that had it and I’m a US citizen and have never been to the Uk but I very much remember this episode

I have a dvd from earths mightiest heroes that does have this lost episode in it, pretty cool to know about it

I’m a bit late here but I’m from the US and I actually remember watching this episode on Tv idk if it was after the series ended but I remember watching it because it was the first time I was exposed to Donald Blake as a character well at least the concept but either way great series and great video

This episode did actually appear on Netflix here in the states. Granted, it was long after they stopped airing the episodes. But overall, EMH had some of the most interesting, and well thought out stories. I think its time for a rewatch

Fight as One is still one of my favorite songs ever

i remember seeing this episode years after the show ended during season 2 of assemble i believe that they had a promo for the “last” episode of emh , i could he remembering wrong but i definitely remember seeing this years after it ended

This is my first time hearing about this episode, and I really enjoyed emh.

I remember watching this episode when I was about 6-8 on Netflix when they still had the show on there

I'm pretty sure i watched this episode on Disney XD here in Brazil, but i only remember the donald blake comment and hawkeye saving everyone, bc i really liked nods to the comics and the "least useful member of the team saves everyone" troope, like how flash saves everyone from luthor in justice league unlimited

Well this was a trip down memory lane, had no idea they didn't air this episode. I watched it on Netflix, so I didn't notice anything off either.

I Actually Watched that Episode all those Years Ago when it was Airing when I was around 7 or 8 Years Old!
