So what you're saying is that their allocating their budget towards green screening and CGI and skimping on props and practical effects?

I mean, if the budget is indeed allocated for the entire season, then that's one way they could divide it. They could also be saving it for bigger stuff that's yet to come or any number of things.
I don't really know how budgets can be used. Like would the money to pay guest stars come from the same budget as effects? But yeah.. from what I've heard from other shows (Community for example) what gets spent on one ep can be made up for on another and vice versa as the budget is for the whole season. I'm assume it's the same for AoS.
I'd watch that conception. Ming-Na Wen looks ridiculous for 50.
All I know is that I lived through the latter seasons of Chuck when they had the budget cuts and they suffered greatly because of that.
If it's even possible, AoS looks even worse than Chuck. And my guess is that Chuck was working with a lot less.

Eh.. While I'm positive that Chuck's budget at the end was lower than what AoS has currently, I'm sure there's a lot of different variables to consider that aren't really common knowledge so it's not really a fair comparison to make.

Whatever the budgetary issue going on, the costume looks awful and everyone hates it. They really blew the goodwill they earned by announcing he'd be turning into Dethlok in the first place.

You can recreate that costume buying random parts on ebay for less than 50 bucks and some paint.
This has nothing to do with budget of the show, but them being insanely lazy. And this goes beyond this shit costume, the entire show looks incredibly cheap, crappy props, etc. The art and practical effects department of the show is shit tier. Other low budget shows on lesser networks pull off far better stuff with no doubt less resources.

You get one budget for the season. You spend it on everything you need including your main cast. It means you're screwed if your cast gets insanely expensive.
Ah yes, the hater defense.

I really wanted this show to succeed, but when the producer so obviously doesn't get it it's hard to root for it.
Another week of reruns doesn't help.

Well, that's one way to take it, LOL.
I sometimes question the sanity of the people behind those choices. It baffles they don't seem to notice the clothes, the vest, the shapes and colors just don't work together... or even begin to look good.

But Chuck had that delicious Subway money.
At least they worked it in to be funny :/
But yeah, I think laziness is also a part of it too. The creative team needs to be revamped because all of their design choices are uninspired.
Oh god.

Please change the thread title to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. |OT| MAXIMUM EVENT
edit: h I see the quote now, granted I think he just cut himself off there. He was not saying that anyone who does not like it is a hater.

The most event you can have at once.
Agents of W.A.I.T.
They might take some breaks with this show, but it's no Person of Interest. The last time it aired more then 2 episode's in a row was November.

Given some of the previous interviews Bell has given, I'm not really that inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
SO EXCITED
Actually, I am kinda bummed there was no new episode to reward me from coming home from school. =(

The last time there were three consecutive new SHIELD episodes was also November.

Wonderful or not, are you suggesting that the shows design is on the same level as the comic then? With a straight face?

Person of Interest knows how to maintain though. AoS builds the slightest amount of momentum and its blown with scheduling.

On the positive side: the costume doesn't look exactly like the concept photo. Still looks like Robo-cop but it does look better in motion.
And he's not even the big problem one on the creative team!
I wish I could know truly and sincerely what Joss Whedon thinks of this show.
You know what the answer is.
