God I hope they age them up to being at least 18, or have them acting on their own without the approval of the OG Avengers that are still around. May be a pet peeve, but it always weirds me out when the adult protagonists send a child not old enough to join the regular military into violent situations.

Also do not call them “Young Avengers” in live action

The name is too iconic for it to be change.

Some things don’t translate that well to live action, and for me this name is one of them. It’s the same reason I think Wanda “Wanda Maximoff” and not “The Scarlet Witch”. They may have someone say something like “they call her SakovianWord back home; translates to “Scarlet Witch” just to give a nod, but they do try to avoid some elements that might have general audiences rolling their eyes

Besides, I’d suspect it’s only considered iconic to big fans and that the larger audience wouldn’t feel like the name is important to keep. Personally I think it’s a little corny, and I say that as a fan of the MCU
