nelson posted:Hopefully ABC will renew it, but if they don't I hope one of the streaming companies decides to continue it. The real bummer is 90% of the stand-off MCU vs AOS was because of Coulson and how much Whedon hated that. With Whedon gone, it's possible that could change, but yeah. The show was clearly divorced and moved into a one-way tie-in with the MCU where the Netflix series, having a much smoother start, are very likely to take that cake. Plus Netflix and Marvel are really linked now so despite the fact ABC is a Disney network, it's odd. Now, the one thing going in it's favor is it is a way to keep shouting the word Marvel over and over onto TV. Disney uses a lot of the shows on ABC for advertising their stuff; they have gone out of their way to make sure characters drop Star Wars references and Marvel references throughout every bit of media they own for the brand. They may want to keep something Marvel related on ABC merely to keep the name being said.

muscles like this! posted:Weirdly enough the first episode was directed by former Marvel Comics EiC Joe Quesada. The last time Quesada was on Fat Man on Batman, Kevin Smith was trying to convince him to get into directing. I guess he took the advice.

They have viewership which is more than you can say about a lot of network shows. I kind of want them to just kind of jettison themselves from the movies like how the Netflix series just take place sometime after Avengers so that we don't have to wait on the movies. The breaks just don't make for good TV and undoubtedly muck up viewership numbers.

Rhyno posted:Why do people keep saying this? was mainly joking, but supposedly its cause Thor took off pretty much immediately at the end of Avengers2, Loki disguises himself as other people all the time, Loki is probably looking to make nice with Thanos after he failed to get the tesseract infinity gem and losing the scepter gem in the process, so getting another gem, like the one kept in Strange's eyeball necklace. just conjecture that is probably wrong, but spoilered just in case

I don't think the Netflix MCU stuff will ever tie in to the larger MCU unless something changes in the division between Marvel TV and Marvel films. Hell all the Netflix series take place between Avengers 1 and Avengers 2 and besides some name drops, really have nothing to tie them into the MCU at large.

Plus, the Darkhold (God, what a stupid name, I feel filthy just typing it out) is still in play, and we know very explicitly that Robbie is not dead and that a Ghost Rider has returned from hell before. It's likely he will be back before season's end.

They had to take Ghost Rider out of play for the dumb Battlestar Galactica retread we're going to get because his whole soul fire thing would very obviously not work on the LMD's.

It's likely he will be back before season's end. Plus the comicbook version of the Darkhold has links to pretty much all the mystical/supernatural Marvel characters (even Kull, Conan and Red Sonja) and was apparently responsible for creating all the vampires and werewolves so it opens up a whole bunch of potential crossovers. It even had it's own comic series of a sort for a while:

I'm sure that Ghost Rider will return within six episodes and this will not be drawn out like your typical will they/won't they? relationship drama. Edit: I mean as long as the show didn't get cancelled two years ago. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Dec 19, 2016 |

Yeah, that's pretty much it. If they did keep him around, they would have to figure out how to nerf him every other episode as the default response would be to send in the invulnerable demon that no one has a defense against.

I thought that's what the whole 'we can't work with this guy, he's a murderer and Shield is supposed to be above that' angle was for. They don't need to nerf him power-wise, just make it politically untenable for him to stick around.

If the character is too overpowered to use much, then he's not going to get screentime regardless.

Why would he stay with SHIELD? He got his vengeance. If he makes it back from wherever he got sucked down to he is more likely to go do his own thing than accept a tracking watch and a badge.

Shield can't really hold him anyway. They just have to convince him to work with them or ask a magic person to tell him to gently caress off.

Plus, he's also got his own vengeance thing with the Ghost Rider demon itself that he's gotta deal with. So we might just see him drive through a wall in the middle of a fight and single out some random mook for that child he murdered while robbing a bank three years ago.

Since Loki took the throne in Odin's guise, he now has to act like Odin or be found out. In a way, he has no choice but to be "good" if he wants to stay where he is.

Nah, there's going to at least be an episode where Ghost Rider and Mack go after whoever killed Mack's dead wife/kid and the person they're after keeps getting away.

It's just a new power that everyone needs to -try to- adapt to dealing with. Like if you've been dealing with people who could either shoot electricity or fire for half a decade and then all of a sudden someone shows up utilizing the power cosmic.
