Additionally, Avengers does an amazing job of including the entire Marvel universe in one story. From apperances by the Fantastic Four (who jockingly referrence their own explots as asides), to the muliple mentions of the X-Men and even Spiderman. The world of Avengers: EMH feels very lived in.

That being said, I dislike the new opening. While I was not a huge fan of the Season 1 opening song (which is still used), the action sequences in the OP were quite a lot of fun (and despite the cheesiness of the song, it was still worked with the OP action sequences quite well). So the new OP featuring a narrator is a bit of a let down.
New OP is goofy but so was the old one. I agree about the 'lived-in' comment, I was happy to hear them mentioning Spiderman and the X-Men when trying to convince Stark to 'go public' with The Avengers.

I'm wondering how long the imposter Cap will stay in that role before revealing his true
