What I've been hearing is that the ratings were pretty sketchy but the prognosticators still aren't ready to call it yet. There still may be a chance of renewal.

MikeJF posted:Also, was the chronology of the end of SHIELD totally hosed up? It was like four or five days after Hydra surfaced and Maria was employed by Stark and bitching about congressional committees like she'd been seeing them for months. To be fair, congressional committees don't seem like the most entertaining thing, if I'd been dealing with them for 2-3 days after saving the east coast from magic airships that murdered smart people I'd be a little pissy too.

I think the biggest problem with the ratings is that Big 4 TV audiences don't like "period piece" backdrops, and that Agents of SHIELD is not gangbusters anyway.

It's pretty funny that the ultimate message of Agent Carter ends up being 'yeah, that whole thing was a terrible idea and should never have happened'. Not the most empowering sentiment.

Confession. When I was a kid, I wasn't into comic books and I totally thought that Thor was a fake superhero that the movie made up. I knew about the god, just not the superhero.

There's going to be a scene where Vincent D'onofrio strangles a dude, and he's really going to sell it.

I was right about them adding Mockingbird to the cast, so I'm going to throw out that if we see any actual major inhumans, it will probably be Crystal.

Well, not in the traditional sense of comic books anyways.. Does Archie count? I really only started liking superheroes when I met my gf who is a huge Marvel fan. I've been sticking it to her ever since by telling her that DC comics looks better and has better story telling.

I guess maybe D'Onofrio's weight has always fluctuated and that contributes to it, but I'm ALWAYS seeing him in stuff and not realizing until halfway through that its him. I knew about him for years when he was on that Law & Order show but I needed to actually see the credits of Full Metal Jacket to realize he was Pyle.

In general, he's a loving great actor. "They should've cast this pro wrestler," is absurd nonsense, by the way. Stanley Kubrick once said Vincent D'Onofrio could be the next Lon Chaney, because his performance as Pyle was that intense and impressive. And Marvel cast him as a theatrically huge mob boss. He may be the casting decision I'm most excited about.
