It doesn't help that her character has spent most of her time being boring as gently caress or whiney. But at least she's not being written/directed as a cyborg like May.

She's one of the most obvious "cast for her looks with no consideration to her acting ability" incidents I've ever seen. I mean yeah, she's loving gorgeous but every scene she is in is cringe-worthy.

Rhyno posted:Not really. She's not even the best actress on her show. She isn't, because she is in a show with two veteran movie actors (that had several others in guest roles) and a long-running villain that turned out to be a really great actor. Doesn't change, that she's above average for comic book show leads. None of the CW superhero shows have their best actor in the lead role (iZombie does, but it isn't superhero), even Supergirl has Calista Flockhart being better than Melissa Benoist - although Benoist is the best of the bunch.

Doesn't AoS have Adrienne Palicki? How is the show not just 42 minutes of Adrienne Palicki acting loving circles around everyone else and being awesome? Isn't she literally Mockingbird on that show or whatever? I mean come on that's fish in a barrel right there.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is cool & good. Chloe Bennet is not the best actress alive by any means but she's had her moments on that show (and, while this has nothing to do with her on screen performance, seems to genuinely enjoy the role / the fans). Elizabeth Henstridge pulled off what I think is the best episode of the show overall almost completely solo. I think it's a drat shame that Marvel's Most Wanted isn't getting made because obviously Adrienne Palicki is incredible and Nick Blood's Lance rapidly became my favorite person on the show. (The scene where the team is trying to figure out a super complicated spy way to keep tabs on a guy and his plan is to pull a bandana over his face, walk up to him and knock him out made me laugh so hard I cried.) I'm curious to see where the show goes next season. I think making Coulson Director, while a nice feel-good moment when it happened, was ultimately a mistake. He's never felt like he's "directing" anything larger than his team, and we established pretty early on that there are other elements that called themselves / believed themselves to be S.H.I.E.L.D. I feel like that never really paid off into anything.

I still think that the AoS season 2 finale is one of the best comic TV episodes. Chloe Bennet is great in it, the writing is actually surprising and not contrived, and Kyle Maclachlan steals every single scene he's in. There's actual stakes and lasting impact on the plot. Plus, season 2 of AoS is the only show on network TV that isn't "an asian show" that has 3 asian leads. The season 3 finale had some great character moments (Hive and Lincoln accepting their deaths in space), but didn't live up to season 2. It pulled the same thing Game of Thrones did with some of their seasons, had a really dramatic second to last episode with a comparitvely medicore finale that makes you way more excited for the next season instead of enjoying the actual episode.

Chloe Bennett was fine as hip, young hacker chick who is the audience's POV into the inner workings of SHIELD, but I can't stand Jesus Inhuman who is the savior of everyone and barely able to contain her massive power.

Quake written as a terrible Mary Sue character? The character who defeats Magneto in her first appearance with a snap of her fingers? Who was chosen by Captain America himself to lead Shield before she was legal drinking age? Quake loving sucks.

As someone who hasn't really watched the show in ages, this sounds like the exact opposite of what I'd want from a show called "Agents of SHIELD". I kinda liked the idea of a government agency of normal humans going around trying to police/investigate/maintain some facade of control over the supernatural nonsense that keeps happening in the Marvel world. Giving one of those agents god-tier superpowers sounds real boring.

Freaky Friday and that exploding german guy count as two mistakes for sure. I'm assuming the one you mean is the death of Gwen Stacy. A big problem USM has when read in a block is that every story is the worst thing that ever happened to Pete, and then he dies. Bendis could've spaced out the tragedy a bit more.

I have no idea what you're...the death of Gwen Stacy? Is that what you're referencing? Because her death and her return were both really good. But yeah, Bendis' Gwen Stacy disproves the assertion that he doesn't know how to write women. He basically did a ground-up reinvention of the character to the point where she's a strong and compelling enough character to solo her own series now (Spider-Gwen definitely seems to be taking a lot of her cues from Ultimate Gwen Stacy). I mean, basically every major female character he wrote on USM was at least pretty good (but Gwen and Jessica Drew and Lana Baumgartner were the standouts). Dude can write women well. Lurdiak posted:Freaky Friday and that exploding german guy count as two mistakes for sure. I'm assuming the one you mean is the death of Gwen Stacy. The major mistakes of Bendis' run on USM were when Miles got the suit and basically got thrown into a bunch of real lame crossover events all in a row. Spider-Man No More was a great arc but that was kind of it for Miles for that first 28 issue run. Then Cataclysm happened (and he was great there), but at that point the writing was on the wall and the 1610 was being closed out so his final 12 issue arc is spent on that god-loving-awful, just absolutely loving atrocious revived Peter story or that awful All-New Ultimates run, before the final two arcs being a Secret Origins for his dad and a totally rushed faceoff against Doom. If it weren't for that really good All-New X-Men crossover arc the entirety of his post-Cataclysm, pre-SW stories would've been pretty trash. I'm sort of amazed that Miles is as good a character as he is considered most of everything that came after USM 160 was disposable at best. There's really only a couple of arcs that really work in the whole thing, but Miles is still really appealing throughout. NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jun 28, 2016 |
