I noticed none of the arrow villains made the cut.

Ra's first fight with Oliver made him a memorable villain. He played a pretty convincing old man who was tired of having to slaughter all the young heroes who were coming for his head.

Too bad it all went downhill from there.

The show's writers were the main villain of season 3.

The Suicide Squad movie better be good, because the Suicide Squad episode of Arrow was a pretty obvious backdoor pilot for a show that got killed because of the movie, and it was a great one.

Maybe the would-be producers/directors of the Suicide Squad show will go the WW/Hawkgirl route and just make a Doom Patrol show.
But that'd need to be on AMC at the least to be viable. If not HBO.

It was strongly implied in the S2 finale, but it's now official: Agents of SHIELD S3 will be loosely adapting Secret Warriors.

The rumor going around is that Marvel still hasn't decided what direction it wants to take Iron Fist, with the main sticking point being how "mystical" the show should be. I think I speak for everyone when I say directly adapt Immortal Iron Fist you knobs.

Danny Rand goes to see The Last Dragon with his millionaire parents and then outside the theater they are killed by ninjas, one day he stumbled into his dad's karate basement and decides to become what ninjas fear the most, a lone karate man. But he gets sidetracked and uses his companies resources to make super good exercise and sparring equipment, and while trying to sell it in Thailand he gets kidnapped into a cave, where ninja terrorists force him to make them a super good bo staff, but secretly he uses the components to make a powerful glove called the Iron Fist, which he uses to escape. So he goes back to hells kitchen where his best friend secretly covets the Iron Fist and uses the Rand corporation to make the Iron Knuckle, and they fight.

Is it something like that?

Dark Horse and Universal are developing a couple of TV shows, most notably The Umbrella Academy and Concrete. Concrete is a weird one, the story of a political speechwriter who is kidnapped by aliens and has his brain placed in a living rock body. He escapes and the aliens depart, leaving him trapped in his new body. He eventually is captured by the government but is able to convince them to release him with the cover story of his being a government developed cyborg. Despite the out there premise the character never fights criminals or monsters and instead its just about how he lives with this weird new body.

Concrete is great, I hope the show gets off the ground and is very good. I love that the dude just uses his crazy new body to walk the ocean floor and climb mountains and other cool poo poo.

1: Introductions to characters.

5: Introduction to recurring villian/antagonist.

6. Filler but good team coming together episode. Probably the best episode of early AoS

7. Introduction to Inner workings of SHIELD, and two important characters for later.

10: Info about how Coulson survived the Avengers movie.

11: More info about Coulson.

12. Filler episode, but some Skye stuff that's semi relevant.

14: Continues the Coulson story, and introduces character who becomes reaaaaal important for the rest of the season.

16 - 22: Watch all these

...at which point, since you're only skipping 8, 9, 13, and 15, you might as well suck it up and watch 'em all. :shrug:
