Ok, updates for both Agent Carter and AoS. 1. Skye is gone, long live Daisy! Also, Coulson will be more in the field apparently, less of being in the office. Which is good, more Clark Gregg is always good. 2. Agent Carter has announced the big bad for season 2: Madame Masque

Ensign_Ricky posted:2. Agent Carter has announced the big bad for season 2: Madame Masque Reading that, I had a  moment... My first thought, while reading the quote from Tara Butters, was Dottie would become Masque. But then she said "actress", and that could also mean Angie. Of course, at the end of the article, it says neither actress is signed on for S2, though they're working on deals involving the characters. Then again, they also aren't saying who the Masque actress is, just that she's been cast, so it could be either one of them, and the "working out a deal to bring back Dottie and/or Angie" could be a cover.

I'm excited for them to be fighting evil Hedy Lamarr; between her being a beauty who ends up wearing an iron mask and her scientific genius, I'm really hoping she basically becomes the MCU Doctor Doom.

Mockingbird spin-off is (potentially) back on as "Marvel’s Most Wanted": http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/marvel-mockingbird-spinoff-series-most-wanted-adrianne-palicki-nick-blood-abc-1201574713/ Getting at least a pilot order. I'm wondering if the Inhumans and Secret Warriors angle is taking on a substantial enough role that there's more growth opportunities for this part of the universe. Agents of Shield will keep with that, while Mockingbird and Hunter are more free to do their romantic dramedy.

But maybe a more fun, playful approach where you take the classic "Hawkeye & Mockingbird" theme and retooled it into Mockingbird & Hunter could actually work really well and be a good companion piece that doesn't step on AoS's toes too much. Especially as a light summer show/mid-season replacement.

Yea, have Agent Carter as the Holiday show and Mockingbird and Hunter as the summer one. And it would be better to watch them work on a single 10 episode story arc involving a single Mystery, rather than a full season that has a metaplot but also monster of the week stuff.

Well now that Phase 2 is over, I am hoping the TV stuff will feature a bit more heavily into Phase 3 movies. Hell, even having them have minor roles would be cool and good and it wouldn't be hard to catch up the non-viewers if done properly.

Kind of taking a stab in the dark here, but a spinoff that is not a spinoff... Maybe it's a sort of crossover/limited series, where the two characters have to go off Shield's radar for a mission while Shield is trying to find them. It might be like having the same show on two nights a week, except one focuses a bit more on one team than the other.

I watched a crappy shaky cam recording of the Civil War teaser on youtube, and a voiceover said 'Coulson is head of SHIELD, where does that leave you?' So I guess he's acknowledged, which is an improvement.

So I guess he's acknowledged, which is an improvement. I would be absolutely floored if that happened. While SHIELD has gotten much better than the first season it is still the bastard stepchild of the MCU. There's a reason that you rarely see TV actors in film and even more rare to find an actor who started out on TV to transition successfully to film. Seeing RDJ flying around blowing poo poo up costs me at least $20 to see in a theater. Seeing Ming Na beat the poo poo out of people doesn't. Its like bringing Natty Lite to a wine tasting. It just drags the whole thing down. Its one of the problems I think MoS had. All kinds of familiar faces but 90% of those are TV faces and thus my lizard brain doesn't associate the faces with the willingness to fork over $20 for 2.5 hours of entertainment. Henry Cavil started out in TV and The Tudors was his platform to step into movies which it appears he has successfully done. Lawrence Fishburne started out in film but in the last 10 years or so switched over to TV like CSI and Hannibal. Chris Meloni is an amazing actor but his time on SVU forever tied his face to Det. Stabler. I suspect DC/WB has realized this and made sure they got film faces for everything else. Two notable exceptions to this are Jai Courtney who seems like the only Spartacus alumni who didn't end up on The CW but instead landed a bonafide film career. Whether or not that's good or bad is debatable. Jason Momoa as Aquaman seems like a bit of a risk but GoT may have done for him what The Tudors did for Henry Cavil. I suspect his days on TV are over.

Freeman was doing shorts and TV as recently as 2011 but thats changing since The Hobbit. Cumberbach is in something of a weird position but they're both predominately British actors so their TV work doesn't have nearly as much exposure to American audiences as Chris Meloni or Ming Na so the effect is far less pronounced. They can go back home and continue to do TV work without irritating the shot callers who produce Hollywood features. Too much anyway. Since Hollywood supplies 99% of all films Americans watch, as long as they aren't doing TV in America it is much less of an issue. A good example of this is Japan where American celebrities of all levels of fame end up doing commercials for beer money. Also Lost in Translation is an amazing movie and if you haven't seen it you should do so. Especially if you've lived in or are familiar with the culture. That movie got so many things about Japan right its easily one of my favorite movies. edit: bobkatt013 posted:Sherlock is still on the air and hugely popular. On PBS. I'd also argue that given the nature of how Sherlock films, only 3 "episodes" but each is feature length puts it closer to being a feature than more traditional American TV. The rise of streaming content has significantly blurred lines but we're still a ways off from a full transition to streaming.

Sherlock's format of three, almost movie-length episodes per season also does a lot to make it seem less like just another TV series that you tune in to weekly.

I feel the opposite. I think it's great they said that line, and I have no problems seeing TV people in movies. Doubly so if they're doing the same TV role. Then again, the MCU movies are the only movies I go see in the theater, so
