I could have sworn she was wearing something similar last season, sans the gloves. So yeah, I kind of agree that it is ultimately pretty unremarkable. It isn't really anything we haven't seen at least three other women in the Marvel universe wear so far. Not that she needs a crazy costume or anything. It just... exists. I dunno, the AoS people find the weirdest things to try to hype people about. You got DC showing Hawk people and teasing more crossovers, and then you got ABC going, LOOK SKYE IS WEARING THIS SUIT YOU'VE SEEN A BUNCH OF TIMES BEFORE. The bar for hype is show low on this show, lol.

The Article itself is just an interview with Chloe Benett about her role in the series. I'll give you EW is hyping poo poo up by using the Costume in the headline but that's because their dumb asses probably paid for an exclusive for the show. But that's also just kinda how media works. People said it looked alright, some idiot said he wouldn't know who the character was without context of the series. I don't think anyone said it's some hype worthy amazing thing. Just that complaining that a character in generic shield uniform in the comics is also wearing generic shield stuff in the show.

I commented that it is laughable that ABC/Marvel think the suit is worth sharing. Not sure why you needed to make a defensive post.

There's a few reasons to get hype about AoS. Ming Na owns, Chloe Bennett Owns, Iain Decastiger owns, Ward owns, Mack Owns, Clark Gregg is your secret agent dad, Mockingbird owns.

The cast is excellent. I wish the show had more resources to really let them go hogwild. May's end of season fight with Ward in Season 1, and that crazy Skye action scene in season 2 shouldn't be relegated to one episode per season.

Eh, the fight stuff was generally excellent in the entire second half of AoS season 2. The whole show shaped up on that front, it's just that Skye's stands out because of the unique single-shot thing.greatn posted:Mockingbird vs Ward was pretty sweet as well.

Not sure why you needed to make a defensive post. If EW is willing to pay or promote this "EXCLUSIVE" for you why would you not take advantage of it. Also DC is promoting a brand new show(miniseries?) in which the Hawks will probably play a major role Their Arrow specific stuff consists of here's his new costume(oh and spoilers Sarah's back). It's a Green hoodie with Shoulder pads. Also Flash which consisted of oooh the logo has white now. If we are airing minor annoyances and grievances though really wish the Legends of Tomorrow stuff didn't outright spoil the fact that Sarah, and Ray(though that one was obvious) are back alive. Should have held off on that announcement until after the Arrow Episode. But it's not a deal breaker or anything. Wouldn't say I'm defensive but It's just dumb to focus on one show when poo poo like this is frequent across all types of genre shows and media.

The Flash redesign being sold as a redesign at all I will admit was dumb, but they have spent much more time hyping alternate universes than they have the suit, and the Arrow redesign is a significant redesign and worth sharing, even it if it isn't ground breaking (there is no way on Earth it could be ground breaking.) I also agree that the Sara/Ray stuff was bad to spoil, but there is no way for them to sell the show to people at all without spoiling that they are in it, since they will almost certainly be key members of the team as they are the most developed characters. The closest thing to actual hype I have seen for AoS was the preview thing they released a week or two ago, and event hat was pretty meh since it isn't really teasing anything significantly game changing (where in the seasonal arc is basically Heroes or something.) That weird monster guy could have been hype but the silhouette we saw doesn't really look that great, so its hard to get hyped about something that might legit look like it came out of a SyFy channel movie (we don't know because we haven't seen it yet.) Arrow is introducing magic powers in full force, Flash is going to deal with parallel worlds, and Legends has time travel. These could all fall flat, but they are at least trying to hype up a raising of the stakes. The producers of AoS are like the most unhype producers of an action show I have seen in ages.

AoS(and Carter) has always been more secretive of it's main plot threads than Arrow or Flash especially in pre-release stuff. It's just a different approach. Arrow/Flash don't care about keeping secrets away from the viewers and will freely show the viewers something early as hell that the characters won't figure out til the last few episodes of the season. Which is cool in it's own right as that means the Viewers have a way higher view of the situation than the characters which can add tension when you know a character is making a bad decision.

I wouldn't be surprised if he presents a Giant gently caress you to the main team around the midseason finale. With the end of the season run being a conflict between Ward's hydra team and Skye/Coulson's team. The Silence on him has been deafening, they are probably planning something large for him. As it sounds like he's still a series regular. Fake Edit: While looking his status on the show I did find this that was posted today. http://tvline.com/2015/09/15/agents-of-shield-season-3-ward-hydra-boss/

New Jessica Jones shots. David Tennant getting all Doctory.  Luke Cage ready to serve you up some Blue Moon so you can pretend you like micro brews.  Jessica Jones telling her friend Patsy it would be awesome if Patsy would put on a costume and got a show of her own.  Jessica Jones versus her most terrifying nemesis this season, public transportation.

Huh I guess Patsy is fulfilling the Carol role. It's too bad they couldn't get anyone who's actually in the Avengers for this since that juxtaposition of her looking in at the superhero business from the outside is one of the more interesting things about the comic. I guess they could still do that just in a different way Edit: Oh right I forget Patsy is Hellcat

It's not like Alias would have been improved by still going on. There's not much demand for Luke Cage comics, so there's not much supply. When you watch a Sherlock Holmes movie, are you bothered that there are no more official Sherlock Holmes stories?

If you're willing to let Kevin Feige decide what TV you watch based on whether it shows up in the movies, you've already lost.  And anyway, given that Daredevil was so successful that they greenlit a second season of the show before the rest of The Defenders shows even aired, I'm not even convinced that your "never" is even true.

Also, off the top of my head, if the main thing you care about is how interconnected everything is, between the 4 solo series, Defenders, and a second season of Daredevil, that's a lot more hours of in universe story telling than all the Marvel movies combined (plus I bet at least one of the other series will get a second season too). If anything he should be boycotting the movies because those characters won't show up on the Netflix series.

Disliking certain aspects of a show and refusing to watch it because of certain aspects are kind of two different things imo. I mean there is overlap there but you are talking about a very small cross section at that point.
