I'd love to see Titus Welliver and Cobie Smulders more often - was it just schedule conflicts, or did they turn down bigger roles? Eh, season one the premise was that it was a small subset of a very large organisation, so the 'prominent' agents were off being important. And Maria Hill isn't in SHIELD after the collapse.

Dalael posted:How about the part where Bobby beats the poo poo out of Ward? That was great. I could watch an entire episode of that. Isn't that kind of the point? There are a handful of decent thirty second scenes hidden among season 2's two dozen 44-minute episodes. There's no reason to suffer through 43 and a half minutes of boring crap if I can just youtube the scenes I presumably want to rewatch.

Because she's in space all the time. She's ever-so-slightly morphed art-wise to look more like Chloe Bennet than (as originally designed) a young Angelia Jolie, too.

She led Talbot to Fury's secret base because she basically thought Coulson and team had no good reason to continue playing Agents of SHIELD and should just turn themselves over. She had a big "oh crap"-moment when Coulson told her that he was actually hot on the heels of a major Hydra plot that nobody else even had a clue about, and was about to launch a rescue mission when she barged in.

More than that, she'd worked out a special deal that saved Coulson's rear end, in exchange for throwing everyone else under the bus. Plus there was her "bwahaha, voting, don't make me laugh" moment in the second season.

I'm not comics historian, but were the Skrull introduced in a Fantastic Four comic? Their rights might just be over at Fox right now, although I really hope that they're not.

Are they allowed to invent new named ones? Also, can they introduce new named ones in the SHIELD comic and have those end up with Marvel?

I'm glad you powered through those early episodes, the show pretty much reboots itself at the end of season 1, and then re-reboots itself with season 2. And it looks like it's heading for almost a 3rd reboot with season 3. Not rebooting the story, mind you, just completely and utterly changing the status quo in both terms of the universe and the style.

bobkatt013 posted:Skrulls marvel but named ones are with Fantastic Four Yeah, some of the rights are all over the place. Fox has named Skrulls, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and Mutants. Universal has Namor, and theme park rights for quite a lot of Marvel stuff in any of their parks East of the Mason-Dixon Line. That lets Disney put anything Marvel into Disneyland, and the international parks, but they can only put newer stuff in Walt Disney World, like Guardians Of The Galaxy. I'd imagine that it's a bit of a legal mess.

I hate that they consider Kang part of Fantastic Four because Immortus appeared first there, even though I'm pretty sure the reveal that Immortus, Kang, Iron Lad and all his other names were the same guy was revealed in Avengers.

Yeah Kang was in Avengers first. Buuuut there's the additional legal fuckery caused by Kang being Reed's descendant. Edit: the comic was missing a certain moment. Seriously, it had the perfect setup for a "THAT'S NOT HER NAME!!!" and it didn't take it. Ensign_Ricky fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jun 27, 2015 |

The only thing that worries me is that they already have a pretty big cast of characters, if the showrunners are going to be able to juggle having a secondary team on the show and how they'll interact with Coulson's SHIELD.

And it looks like it's heading for almost a 3rd reboot with season 3. Yeah, I actually didn't dislike the early ones. In fact I was impressed with how quickly they weaved all the minor stories together. At first I was comparing it to Fringe and their secret agency monster/tech/weirdness of the week format, but they started tying them together way quicker than Fringe ever did. The pacing was surprisingly fast once all the parts were established, and the movie tie-ins are usually great. I know a lot of people disliked Skye, and I'm sort of ambivalent about her for the most part, but she's growing on me and everyone else is really fun (and holy crap, Ming-Na Wen looks amazing for 50). Fitz/Simmons remind me a lot of Merry and Pippin. I figured the HYDRA stuff in Winter Soldier would have to factor in huge, and I actually kind of saw Ward's betrayal coming. The finale bit with Bill Paxton achieving his final form and then immediately getting vaporized mid-dramatic sentence was the hardest I've laughed at TV in a while. I just finished season 1 and I'm about to start the 2nd. It's overall a really solid show, and I almost feel like TV is a better format for comic book shows. I'm probably missing a ton of visual/namedrop references from the comics though, but it's not a big deal. I'll probably breeze through Agent Carter too, since I know that aired during the 2nd season.

The Mockingbird spinoff they decided not to do is not the same as the unspecified spinoff which, last we heard, they still want to do. So... we'll see. But I'm pretty excited despite not having read Secret Warriors.

I bet S3 is focused on nothing but finding/courting powered people for Secret Warriors. I just wonder if Grant is going to try and build his own team? With as closely tied the series is to Captain America, I could see Baron Zemo having some shadowy background offscreen role pulling together the Thunderbolts? Might work.
