That was fun but I wish it were longer or better yet just edit together into 1 video.

It didn't do much for me. It was fine, though, and I'd certainly welcome more little stories and one-shots being told like that.

I'll watch it later but good on them for releasing it all at once and not do the CW Seed bullshit with Vixen.
They were going for a "syndicated action adventure show" vibe and it did not work one bit. (This also hasn't worked for any of the other shows that have tried it recently either.)

Early S1 Ward was so boring. Look, I'm an elite agent who does everything by the book but I have a shitty personality.
Later on with the Hydra reveal, he became awesome.

You could argue he was that way because he was masterful at acting like the "perfect SHIELD agent," but the rest of the show early on was equally bland lol

Finally caught up and watched the mid-season finale. 2 thoughts:
1. Season 4 so far really reminds me of Season 2 and how it successfully juggled multiple threads. Here we have Ghost Rider, supernatural stuff, Inhumans/Secret Warriors, SHIELD politics, artificial intelligence/LMD stuff all intertwined in a very natural manner and . The show is really at its best when it manages to pull this off. Aside from some shoddy CGI and stilted dialogue this episode was piff.
2. Hindsight is 20/20 but the show should have been like this from Season 1. By that I mean have arcs centered around a proper hero like Ghost Rider. Not necessarily throughout the entire season but still. It would have been a nice way to try to introduce characters with "limited" appeal to the MCU. I've said it before but Robbie has easily been one of the highlights of the TV side and it would be a colossal waste to leave it at this.

I could see that. Plus, if you overuse him, he isn't special.

Coulson, because they're getting cancelled.
Coulson dying is probably the best shot everyone else has to appear in the movies and Netflix shows because they wouldn't have to explain the alien blood resurrection fuckery.

And they can revive him again in the movies and skip the old explanation!
Mack didn't just have his own web series.
That was Yoyo.
Their solution: Another May.
Oh shit, that's it for Mack huh ? Unless he's appearing in that one...
I feel for the actual director of shield, everybody keeps forgetting about him. I even forgot his name lol.

End game for the series is definitely Coulson dying and Daisy becoming director of SHIELD.

When LMDs were introduced, I had initially hoped they'd use them to stick Coulson back in the movies. Have SHIELD fully embrace using them. Coulson shows up, and Stark calls bullshit, claiming he's a robot. Coulson says he can't confirm or deny that, and play it so movie audiences think Coulson actually is a robot. But TV viewers would get a kick out of knowing the truth.
Yes, I know.
I was saying that, if one of those characters were going to die, it probably wouldn't be the one they spent time on promoting with a web series.
My bad, for some reason, I thought you were asking if Mack just had a series lol
This is why CG heavy characters works best in either movies, or 8-10 episodes tv series.

Might as well bring back Agent Carter too while we're at it. Surely that will cause some conflict between the Movies and TVverse as well.

Lacking the oomph of Ghost Rider but if they play the horror angle this could be really good.

Oh cool, I did not know this was back tomorrow (thought it was later in the month). The lack of an Agent Carter (or alike show) has me confused (and sad)....
Also, it looks like ABC will at least be doing four uninterrupted weekly episodes all through January. That nice of them!

I still can't get over the silliness of it having "Darkhold" in that font.

Finally had a chance to start season 4 and I love the addition of Ghost Rider, every time he transforms I mark out, love the effect and the actor pulls off the character well. Hopefully he stays a major part of the season.
Edit: Caught up and read they had to cut him out due to financial reasons, well that fucking sucks, the rest of the season won't be anywhere near as good without him. Hopefully they bring him back at some point.

Channing Dungey, High Muckity Muck at ABC sez:
A few Marvel questions. How do you move these shows forward when Netflix has gained so much ground with Jessica Jones? How do you feel about the state of Marvel on ABC?
Look, we are incredibly encouraged. Season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been creatively the strongest season weve had yet. The episodes just keep getting better and stronger. And thats another one for us that we moved from 9 to 10 and yet even though the HUD levels are softer at 10, the live-same-day has remained the same and thats another one of our shows which regularly goes up triple digits over the seven-day period, anywhere from 100 to 110 percent.
So you see a future for S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Absolutely. Im very bullish on S.H.I.E.L.D. and were also really excited about our production with Marvel, ABC Studios, and IMAX, which we are working on for next fall as well.

I still support my original idea: |OT| May I?
