CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Agent Carter had good Live+3 numbers too I'll never quite understood what happened with Carter. It was a good show with good production values and a neat vibe, and yet it just never could find an audience. I actually don't know what they could have done to fix it, it just refused to catch on. Hell I give ABC credit for giving us a second season even, I thought it had no chance in hell of that.

I was worried they were leaning a little too heavily on Ghost Rider for a shot in the ratings arm, but drat if it wasn't cool. I really hope the show's push to expand it's audience succeeds. Each season gets better than the last and I'd be bummed out if it ended.

Whew!" Then we find out no, the LMD was the one that survived, with a scanned version of that person's brain still in it, so the actor remains on the show as no longer human.

So many good pacing calls. Not waiting around and dragging out the reveal and instead going straight in balls-out with it was the first of many smart decisions. This show is really underappreciated. And I get why. The first season had me >< close to jumping off-board. I even skipped a few episodes before Winter Soldier convinced me to check in and see how the hell the TV show was going to handle that. It's just been on an upward climb since, but a lot of viewers are very "Once burned." It doesn't help that anyone backing up to catch up has to slog through season 1. That said, season 1 makes the whole show much, much better in the long run, so you can appreciate how far things have progressed and see actual character arcs, something this show does very right. ED: Also I kind of find it hilarious that AI is apparently banned. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Sep 21, 2016 |

OB_Juan posted:I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that thought that. What's funny is despite all the people hating the new director, they've done a remarkable job of making shield HQ feel more..... professional than it has in any season until now, where it always felt like they were woefully understaffed with redshirts and it was just the main crew that was really active all that much. It's kind of funny because so far, it looks like an improvement in every possible way to the effectiveness of SHIELD with no indication anyone's really being evil. I really want to see where they're going with it. ED: I bet right now that the reason Coulson is no longer director is he wouldn't sign the accords.

Svanja posted:I did laugh when I saw Fear the Walking Dead's psycho kid as Robbie's little brother in the wheel chair. Hopefully he will be better on this show. My first reaction was to laugh and wonder if he's getting himself killed off on Fear soon. Then my second reaction was hoping someone did the "It'll be alright, you're safe now" speech when he got on a show without some of the most  writing I've ever seen in my loving life.Rest assured, if a time-traveling airplane happens on SHIELD, it'll probably be intentional. ED: Seriously anyone who hasn't seen that show, it starts off slow and boring and skips all the parts it was designed to show, and then the writers just bought all the cocaine for the second season and now it's also incomprehensible bullshit loaded with glaring holes. In other words, yeah, you're not missing much except a cast that deserves better. Metalshark posted:This is a rumour to dream on, since Bernthal's Punisher on AoS would almost certainly be a lot of fun: http://www.cbr.com/is-netflixs-punisher-gearing-up-for-a-marvel-tv-crossover/ Oh man, of all the Netflix characters that is far and away the best one to make the transition and tie them together, so I hope it happens. Anything with Daredevil or Jessica Jones would feel tacked on, even if it was the supporting cast, somehow. But The Punisher can just show up the gently caress out of nowhere and unload with way, way too many weapons, and feel absolutely integrated. There wouldn't even have to be the dull setting up the characters and how they interact, or the "why don't these people ever work together again aside from copyright issues?" Because again, if he just shows up out of loving nowhere everyone knows what he's about already and the very nature of the character means he won't stick around. ED: The darker and more violent tone from the timeslot shift is good timing too. While Punisher proper should be a total R in the violence territory, you could easily still do it justice in a cross-over from what I've seen so far. And SHIELD has really good fight choreographers too; not quite with martial arts as much as the Netflix series, but with gun play they might even have a leg up, so I really hope this is true.

http://comicbook.com/marvel/2016/09/25/agents-of-shield-season-4-premiere-gets-huge-ratings-bump-from-d/ So this looks promising. I was worried when the ratings game in and Ghost Rider didn't give the show much of a bump, thinking that this was kind of a last ditch to get it where ABC wants it. But apparently when delayed viewing got figured in, the show got a huge surge and did real well in the last episode. I really hope this is the thing to make people give the show another shot. I know people I STILL can't convince after they burned out halfway into season 1.

It's getting really old that anyone with superpowers means they're either an Inhuman or a science experiment (besides Ghost Rider) If you find-replace the word in Inhuman with Mutant or Metahuman, isn't this a problem with comics themselves, though? You get your occasional Thors or aliens or Ghost Riders and other demon things, but more or less, that accounts for 99% of them. Honestly if Fox had given Marvel back the X-Men you'd be complaining everyone's a mutant and they'd never bothered pushing inhumans. kayakyakr posted:That was fun.

I think the worst copyright problem Agents of Shield has, and a problem with not wanting to mess up the movie universe, is that on the Netflix series they always go "YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!!!" and they obviously mean loving Inhumans, but they can't say it, and they always blow it off since none of the Netflix heroes are actually Inhumans. It's kind of annoying really that they can't even share some things between each other. Maybe if the rumors are true and Agents starts getting taken more seriously with a crossover with Netflix stuff they can finally stop this ridiculousness.

Error 404 posted:I just mean that the inhumans stuff as we've seen so far is coming across as off-brand X-Men. But I'm 10000% ok with this. Pretty sure that's what Marvel was planning to do with them entirely at one point, and still might. Mostly because of Fox. notthegoatseguy posted:I have never thought they are referencing Inhumans in the Netflix series. In fact, the lack of references to Winter Soldier, Avengers 2/Sokovia, Ant-Man, and Civil War likely means the Netflix-verse still takes place in the aftermath of Avengers 1. "The Incident" (IE Avengers 1) is still being referenced as a recent thing. I always assumed that'd be part of it. Though some things I am thinking about now suggest you might be right; nobody ever mentions SHIELD. I thought someone mentioned how they fell apart and were all Hydra in one of the shows? But I could be remembering it wrong. (I want to say Jessica Jones?) If this theory is right it does explain some things involving HAMMER / Ant-man. It'd also give us a neat flash-forward to anyone they cross over with if that was true.

Gorilla Salad posted:And it'll turn out that Daisy is actually Coulson's daughter. Then two episodes later she won't be. I would absolutely kill for a Plinkett style review of Heroes Season 3. One time I tried to re-watch that train wreck for laughs, and on a second viewing, the already obvious hundreds of plot holes opened up into a glorious black hole of plot holes. I literally counted two every sixty seconds in the first episode, with hindsight on my side. I couldn't take anymore. I honestly think by the 3rd season Heroes actually makes Dexter's last season look coherent, well planned, and clever. I mean for Christ's sakes it opens with a character telling someone with full time travel abilities they know about that "There's no time." It's every bit as dumb as it sounds. PierreTheMime posted:As much as I'm sure it's something dark/terrible, I'd really love it if it was something even more incredible and positive, but he didn't want to get too much credit because everyone else was pitching in and being such a great team. I absolutely love the "aw shucks" niceness he's been putting on and it would be a breath of fresh air if it wasn't just a front. I actually hope the twist is he feels, himself, that he's not really much of a hero for some reason and that he actually is a real good guy. Unfortunately I am still betting he turns out to be evil and only Ghost Rider can ignore his super strength/invulnerability and eliminate him. bloodychill posted:I'm glad we're down to just one lame ghost. They're really doing their best to keep the over-arching plot opaque this season. It's not clear who the main bad guys are gonna be or what the main conflict will be, other than probably revolving around some conflict between Inhumans and magic powered humans. I am like 99.99% positive they were never, ever ghosts. I am pretty sure that book belongs to those dark elf things from Thor 2, maybe not, but long story short is it seems to show tons and tons of science; and it happened due to an accident in the chamber. They're clearly out of phase/hosed up, not actually un/dead. If they wanted an amusing reference, honestly, they strike me a lot like what happened to the doctor in the second season of Agent Carter, if he had stayed in that form for years.

AbstractNapper posted:I have to be honest. I am not sure I liked how Simmons essentially blackmailed the director to get out of the lie detector test. It wasn't, exactly, however. What she said wasn't "If you put me in the chair, I will tell them about you" it was "If you put them in the chair, I won't be able to lie about what I now know about you." Thus it's not really blackmail. She'd not saying she's blow him on purpose, she's saying she'd blow him in unwillingly if she's put in that position, same as she was about to gently caress up for Fitz. She did it for her own reasons, but it's not really untrue, either.

They weren't kidding when they titled this season Agents of SHIELD: Ghost Rider. I have to give them props, they've balanced it very well. It could have easily been too much Ghost Rider to the point it takes over the show, or too little like you described. They've gotten it about as perfect as they could.

He's a good guy that's a bad guy only because we like Coulson better, despite the new guy having good point after good point. It's absolutely masterful and if they do go the secret-bad guy route, it'll be disappointing as hell.

mikeraskol posted:It's really not the opposite unless you absolutely hate "dark, gritty, realistic." Yep, I feel the same way. I like SHIELD a lot (even if they are curb-stomping the scheduling for a serialized show and obviously want to end it) but the Netflix shows - barring Daredevil season 2 which had the weakest second half specifically - Netflix has been just utterly wrecking with these shows. Going from a TV DC show to a Netflix Marvel show is like jumping from a soap opera to a movie in terms of production upgrade. Marvel also knows how to do dark poo poo (head getting crushed to paste in a car door, for example) without doing DC GrimDark. In fact I think that whole "DC is Dark, Marvel is light" thing people have is loving stupid bullshit. DC's the universe that's filled with pussy heroes that can NEVER kill anyone no matter how much sense it makes (Come on, tell me Matt wouldn't eventually say gently caress it and waste the Joker, for example) while a ton of popular Marvel heroes leave huge body counts. What it REALLY is, to me, is DC fellating itself non-stop about how their characters are the "new mythology," drinking their own kool-aid, and waxing on and on and on about how how uber-serious their heroes are (while they are also the most ridiculous). They want to keep talking about the serious philosophy behind heroes, basically baby's first philosophy class level arguments, while trying to take some moral certitude - then sticking Zack Snyder in their movies to make sure none of that will be reflected. It's not grimdark, or dark. I've seen way way loving darker poo poo from Marvel, both on screen and in page. If DC had a character like the Punisher they'd HAVE to stick them in a Vertigo-only continuity or something because DC heroes don't kill. Really the fact people keep thinking DC's problem is it's too "dark" need to realize that their actual problem is "taking themselves way too seriously." That, right there, is DC's biggest gently caress-up. They can't let Batman and Superman fight. It has to be SUPER SERIOUS, despite the fact a man dressed up like a bad is chucking missiles made of an alien planet and a guy in force field producing spandex. Not one of loving thing about that is GrimDark, it's just dumb as gently caress! Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Nov 16, 2016 |

It started pretty poo poo, and has gotten to be one of the higher tier action shows. Their choreography and set pieces are top notch across the board; most movies can't pull off the level of cool poo poo they can do from time to time. Breaking Bad is a really bad comparison because it's like comparing The Godfather to John Wick or something. They're not supposed to be the same thing. But if you asked me who has the best action sequences on TV right now, it'd be Marvel, both on Netflix and ABC.

notthegoatseguy posted:I agree on both. But as far as tight storytelling, I think AOS S2 is a lot better than JJ (a few episodes too long) or Cage (honestly like 6 episodes too long). Hell, I'd take even the shittiest AOS villains over loving Diamondback. Diamondback was loving awful. What's funny about him, though, is that he seemed to be terrible... in universe too? I mean even his XO is calling him out for being dumb as gently caress, and he's totally right about it. Xealot posted:That, and I suspect they struggled to explore the Hand plot and the Punisher plot at once, and both suffered. I would bet money that Daredevil Season 2 was a bunch of factors: - A corporate mandate to do Elektra - A corporate mandate to do The Punisher - A corporate mandate to do the Hand - A new show runner likely having a hand in these mandates What made Daredevil season 1 so good was that you spent almost equal time with the villains and heroes, and you got to really know them; every move one took, you got to see the other respond to, and vice versa. In Daredevil Season 2 Matt spent the entire thing out of his depth in the back half, not knowing what was going on (I still have no idea what the gently caress that hole was about). It also amp'ed up the comic book aspect and ruined the grounding they had perfected in the first season. I never realized Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was primarily a parody of Daredevil until I started laughing how ridiculous Sewer Ninjas were, then went "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The HAND. I get it." That said it wasn't a total waste. The Punisher stuff was top notch across the board and I was entirely happy to hear they green lit that series. It's just the hand stuff was ridiculous, incoherent, and really badly handled. Same with Elektra, really: There was a point where she just started murdering a bunch of good guys that I started thinking of her as irredeemably psychotic, and found it odd Matt was actually warming up to it. Long story short I think they hosed up every non-Punisher thing after the episode 6 mark and should have put more time into that, and done Elektra next season (or just introduced her this season MINUS the crazy ninja stuff, so it would work towards that).

He makes some bad calls but everyone does. I really hope his 'dark secret' turns out to be something benign, like him feeling he didn't do enough.

HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:He goes back to Fear The Walking Dead You sick bastard, I wouldn't do that to anybody ED: Seriously that show makes regular Walking Dead look like the best show in the history of TV, holy poo poo, it's bad in a train wreck kind of way or we'd quit a while ago Spergatory posted:So, not that anyone actually cares but, uhhh... what happens to Gabe now? Isn't he a minor? Whose last living relatives just took the highway to hell? Are they just gonna... wheel him back to his empty house, give him a pat on the back and wish him good luck? In all seriousness it would be cool if Coulson hooked him up with the same tech they're using to make War Machine walk and kept him around. bloodychill posted:When Ada turned out to be bad, I couldn't help but think "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal." Showing her at the end of last season was the display of Chekhov's gun and having her read the Darkhold was that gun getting loaded. Also androids "thinking of electric sheep" bothered me because the book title is "dreaming," not "thinking." It felt like a forced reference. I really hope they do some kind of cool twist to it we're not expecting. Like the guy she killed was actually a body snatcher, and the reason she's doing this is SHIELD is already infiltrated and it's the only course of action or something. It'll probably just be that she's malfunctioning and trying to spare the agents pain by locking them in cells while the drones do the work (since every AI in Marvel seems to end up evil) but it'd be way more interesting to me if there's more going on than what we all expect. This show's done it before, so I hold out some hope. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Dec 9, 2016 |

RareAcumen posted:This made me go on a wiki search and I just found out that J.A.R.V.I.S. is also Vision. Which is just kinda...huh. It's even stranger when you realize J.A.R.V.I.S. was based on a mind scan of his father's butler, the actual Jarvis. It's kind of a shame Vision only shows up in the huge movies, as a result, because man that's got to be a mind gently caress. A xerox of a xerox. Spergatory posted:They didn't though? I'm pretty sure she always ends up back where she started at the end of every speedy sequence. They really did get it wrong this time though, she was in speed-mode way too long. I won't even argue it was for effect reasons, because the second time, it would have been cooler to see her ping-ponging to deal with each thing rather than dealing with it all in a single run; I'm sure there's a million ways they could have visualized this (like showing them all happening at once in a blur or the like). Her power worked in a very specific way up until now, and unshackling her actually hurts the uniqueness of it. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Dec 9, 2016 |
