Agents of SHIELD

[beeblebrox666]

About ten minutes into the pilot episode on HULU (I seldom catch anything first air). I've avoided the world of comic books for about 30 years apart from a few decent films, so I have no pre-conceived notion of what's "right" or "canon" or what these characters MUST be. I have chosen to like this on it's own merits so far. Don't like? Bite me.

I was a big Marvel-phile for years, specifically the various X-Titles. However, just about anything S.H..IE.L.D. or Nick Fury related got grabbed, as well.

That being said, I watched it and loved it! It's not about Fury, the Helicarrier or the major missions. It's about the "side jobs". I'm looking at AoS as a sort of "Lower Decks" story, wherein what happens here may not be big and flashy, but it's just as important as The Battle of New York where the things that are uncovered in these stories can make the difference between a win or a loss in a major battle.

Plus, I like Agent Colson.

Any thoughts on Coulson's resurrection? My money is on him being an LMD.

[The Cat]

Saw it last night and loved it.

[Kolschey]

It's off to a really good start. I even got my wife hooked, so this should be a great season!

Almost certainly - I caught the exchange between Ron Glass's character and
ummm...one of the other characters. "Tahiti...he doesn't know." " He can never know..."

[mar10]

LMD is definitely the way to go here. Makes perfect sense. Teh wife and I both thought it was great. Tons of potential here for backdrop stories and introducing some 3rd tier heroes that would have no chance for screen time otherwise.

I think Agen Hill looks HOT in this.

[Lord Darth Beavis]

Agent Hill looks hot in ANYTHING.

Is it me. or is Ming Na an immortal? She doesn't age! She looks as luscious now, as she did many moons ago.

[mar10]

"Cancel the fish tank."

LMAO!

[Mark Yungblut]

"It even had a BAR and it's a NICE BAR"

This is great so far...

[Godfather]

Been a long while since I read any comic books, but I don't remember LMD's bleeding.

Liking the show so far. Hope they can keep it fresh.

[Griffworks]

They bleed. In one of the 90's issues of IronMan, Stark had one that was beat up and even shot. It wasn't until someone looked closely at the gunshot wound that they realized it wasn't a real person. There was one running around of Fury at one point that was also beat up pretty badly, blood from a handful of wounds to it's face - nose or mouth and a couple of cuts.

I am willing to bet that Coulson's resurrection will tie into the storyline for The Avengers 2 Age of Ultron. Think The Vision

I was thinking he was just a clone..but the above would be pretty cool.

What i would like to see though for the current show, is some tie-ins to the marvel universe of some sort. Let's see some 3rd tier superheroes or villains.

Some interaction with Stark enterprises for example (doesnt have to be Tony)...just drop some names or locations even. I know we have had a bit of hydra and a cameo of Fury.
