Well he's so above any threats that they don't need to have him go full Ghost Rider. I think they're doing great with him. When he turns, you know poo poo got real, and he's going to end it real quick.

Daisy's death wish is getting a little old on Agents of Shield. Okay, she feels bad that the blandest dude ever died, we get it. If the desperation of fighting a room full of dudes that want her, specifically, dead had pushed her to use her powers with some kind of lasting consequence then I wouldn't have minded the scene. Otherwise it's yet another "may saves the day" scene which I'm a little tired of personally.

Otherwise it's yet another "may saves the day" scene which I'm a little tired of personally. It's even worse on Arrow, where they are seriously using "Diggle feels so bad for killing his brother in self defense that he wants to rot in prison for a crime he didn't commit and never see his family again" as a subplot. Never mind that his bro got Laurel killed on purpose, and almost killed his wife, and I believe threatened to kill his kid too? Also he was working for a guy who successfully fired a nuke (and planned to end the world with many more.) I'm sorry, that isn't how guilt works. Diggle has fired his gun into tons of people before without blinking. Being someone's brother doesn't create a magic spell that makes you unable to see them as a threat. Also we are now 3/3 with people who are armed with weapons refusing to use them on Tobias Church, in favor of trying to punch him for no goddamned reason. Also there were two instances today where characters who were shown to not be busy during an action scene inexplicably disappeared long enough for some dumb poo poo to happen that they could have prevented. It's like the show isn't even trying anymore. They have a general idea of plot points to hit, but no idea how to get from point A to B. It's getting to the point where it feels improvised on the spot. Bad improv though, because good improv has created better, more coherent stories than this.

I love that every time Diggle comes back Arrow's recap every time basically has to play a 5-second clip from Flashpoint to remind any viewers who haven't watched in a while that Barry Allen is an idiot who somehow gender-flipped Diggle's baby via negligent time travel.

Ward and Hyde were written and performed amazingly. The blessing / curse of AoS is that half of the main cast is completely forgettable and half are played straight which is a necessary role but makes them uninteresting. The guest or semi-permanent characters and actors are almost always amazing. Bill Paxton, Ward, Hyde, Powers Booth, Edward James Olmos, etc.

Agents of Shield has a "based on the comics created by Lee & Kirby" blurb in the credits and I am quite certain Jack would be kicking in doors to beat up those responsible for this garbage were he still alive.

Funny you mention Steranko - I got to meet him at the Providence Comic Con back in 2014. This was back during the first season of the show. I asked him: "What do you think about the new Agents of Shield show?" He said he loving hated it, and he didn't like any of the characters on the show except Agent May. He alluded to exactly what you were saying, that the show was watered down and it wasn't exactly what he was hoping it would be.

The Defenders is going to be 8 episodes long. SJ Clarkson (Jessica Jones, Orange is the New Black Season 1, Dexter Season 4) is going to direct the first 2 episodes and be an executive producer for the show. The other executive producers are the show-runner and executive producers from Season 1 of Daredevil, the executive producer of season 2 of Daredevil, and Jeph Loeb.

A shorter series might mean they do a lot less meandering and get right to the meat of things, but if they don't manage to hit that note, it's gonna feel like the biggest letdown. They've built up to Defenders pretty well, so I trust them, but that's an odd bit of news to hear.

As an executive producer, his involvement can actually vary greatly. That is like one of the most loosely defined titles in showbiz. I've never seen him described as (or ever describe his work similarly too) Kevin Feige with respect to Marvel Studios, which is more of what I meant. I know he is basically one of, if not THE Marvel TV guy, in title at least, but I have just never seen anything regarding his actual work on the TV stuff the way there are tons of constant articles and interviews that show exactly how Kevin Feige is steering his ship. My suspicion is that Marvel TV, still being under the thumb of Marvel corporate, probably doesn't afford Loeb the ability to run things the way Feige does. He could be a glorified rubberstamp middle man who occasionally passes down mandates from further up the chain.

Loeb isn't just a regular old EP. He's the Executive Vice President of Marvel Television. It's pretty much him and Dan Buckley running that division.

JT Smiley posted:Come on man, you can't just set Rhyno up like that. Loeb redeemed himself with his brief run on Nova. It was very clear that he had finally dealt with the loss of his own son and the creation of Sam Alexander showed that. He did some raw, lovely things during the period between (the way he got the Fallen Son gig) but he's been showing signs that he's happy and doing well. He was at the Legion panel at NYCC and many people noted a warmth coming from him that had been missing for years. John Byrne can still eat a Galactus sized dick though.
