The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

In other words the issues he had with Marvel were wildly exaggerated.

Yeah Whedon stepping away from being the head honcho of the Marvel CU was just him burning out from the stress of it rather than any personal problems between him and Marvel.

He's said he had about five more years of doing it and he would've loved them, except he'd be dead from the stress by the end.

My love of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is very well documented, but I will say that this series and the films have some of the most boring-rear end music, like god drat.
The "Don't Fear the Reaper" intro for season one episode "Turn, turn, turn" was badass... although it also highlights how lame the normal music is.

Nah, the Agents of SHIELD soundtrack is awesome, especially when it veers off into knowingly cheesy territory, like in Aftermath of the Uprising. It's such a gung-ho electric guitar ballad that you expect Stacy Keach to start talking about Ford trucks or American cotton and it's 100% fantastic because of it.

I think it's insane that they haven't made a new Star Trek show, like what the gently caress are they doing. There's no way that won't be a huge hit in today's TV environment

It's tricky, the new iteration of Star Trek are action movies, one very good and one alright. The cast and effects would be too expensive to serialise and doing a show with a different cast and budget would dilute the brand and confuse people or whatever the speak is.

CBS owns the tv rights. So you have a bit of a Marvel/Fox situation where both sides are saying "gently caress those guys, we'd rather have no money than have to share!"

A couple shots of her in her new uniform doesn't mean the scarf is going away, it means they're showing off her new uniform.

Maybe an extreme statement. But that fight was better executed action than a lot of films.

Having just watched Daredevil at the time, my reaction was more "Man, I bet their TV division has hired some really badass fight choreographers, I wonder if they're using the same ones?" I still wonder that. AoS suddenly got way, way, way better action sequences right around the time Daredevil landed with it's own very impressive action sequences.

Anyone know if they hired some top-notch Hong Kong fight directors or something? It's very noticeable.

The character Mickey Rourke plays in Iron Man 2 was an original character, merging Whiplash and a character called Crimson Dynamo. He's since been introduced to the comics though.

I thought Daredevil actually hurt the AoS fight sequences because it showed just how much better they could be. The one-shot felt like a dance where she was just going through the steps, all pre-planned and flowing. There wasn't a moment of danger or "oh poo poo didn't see that coming."

The fight with clone girl was a little better, but still was very, very, very choreographed.

Skye was taking out nameless mooks. Even Fitz and Simmons are probably able to take down a few nameless mooks at this point without breaking a sweat. Hell, the Koenigs could probably do some pretty badass damage.
