I believe it's still too soon to judge this show fairly, since by the time I write this, only seven episodes have been up. I'll write a more elaborated review later if I have time. But for now, here are my first impressions of this show.
First, the good points: this show, I'll admit, has quite a few good concepts that still had yet to be adapted in a show. I am especially found of their version of Dracula, and think the way they integrated him to Cap's backstory was kinda clever (though I wish they found a better justification to motivate him as a villain). The art is good and well-detailed, if a bit generic at time and with the characters being far too muscular to my taste (seriously, they all look like if they were from the 90s).

Now, the bad points.
First of all, the pacing is absolutely HORRIBLE. Things tend to happen far too fast, without taking time to explain much or develop characters. Whenever they need to explain something, they do it in one line or three, without real details. Falcon is one of the biggest exemples of this: his inclusion to the team and establishment as a new character is far too quick, we barely get to learn anything about him. Which leads me to my next point: the cast isn't diversified enough. Seriously, we have three members who have exactly the same backstory (former SHIELD agent), the only difference being their gimmicks. I know that worked in the movie with Hawkeey and Black Widow, but that was needed for a movie due to the limits they had; we are in a cartoon, take advantage on it for more variety, damn it! The plot also tend to be a bit cliché, and, if not horrible, at least without any depht and forgettable. Characters get no real development (especially irritating how they removed Banner altogether and left the Hulk like a mere Dumb Muscle) and the humor, like the dialogue, tend to be a bit cheap. I am not really a fan of chosing Red Skull as the main villain either, neither am I of the idea to give him an Iron Man suit. Finally, not only is Black Widow the only female, but she manages to be even more of a Faux Action Girl than Wasp, being absent in half the episodes and doing near nothing in the others, even being a Damsel In Distress at some point.
Overall, the show mostly is "meh" to me. Far less obnoxious or dislikable than Ultimate Spider Man, but not exactly memorable or great either.
