In response the SHIELD ep3 having created an original villain: Hall is the Avenger villain Graviton. I don't know if his comic origin was the same, but he isn't original. I also enjoyed the show.

I'm glad I own Black Dynamite because I'm intersted if it'll hold up in 20 years. Have any of you tried to watch I'm Gonna Get You Sucka lately? It's horrible, outside of specific scenes that I may be viewing through nostalgia vision.

How much TV do you guys watch? I haven't had TV on my TV for around eight years or so. I have netflix and my bluray player, so I don't actually watch many TV shows. I ask because so many of the complaints I've seen directed towards SHIELD sound like some of the complaints I've made about comics when someone new to the hobby has asked "Why is this comic so hated." I enjoy SHIELD so much. It's a weekly dose of live action Marvel. I think Ward is a little stiff, but I love Coulson, May, Fitz & Simmons and even don't find Skye annoying. Is this just a by product of me only watching three or four tv shows?

Hakkesshu posted:I mean, as someone who watches a lot of TV shows, SHIELD ranks pretty low. The acting isn't great, the plotting feels almost irrelevant, the quippy dialogue grates sometimes. I don't think it's a bad show by any means, but it feels very early 2000s in tone and style, before networks realized that they didn't have to settle for cheap-looking monster of the week shows. Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for. It isn't that SHIELD is bad TV, it's just not doing anything new or particularly innovating. Since I don't immerse myself in TV the way I do comics, I'm not as worn out of the common tropes as some of you. Remember that episode of the Simpsons with the triads, where Homer is saying the little Asian guy in the white suit is going to do something awesome. I'm waiting for her to do something awesome (the jet gag from last episode was a start). I also appreciate how much Coulson values her input, also illustrated in a pretty funny scene last episode.

Wanderer posted:It seems that for a lot of guys my age, Preacher served as the introduction to non-superhero comics. It came along at exactly the right time and place to appeal to non-religious college kids like me. It didn't hurt that for almost the entirety of its run Wizard magazine never gave up an opportunity to suck it off. Preacher is responsible for bringing me back into comics in like '98 or '99.

Lurdiak posted:Yeah, honestly, I have an kneejerk negative reaction to any superhero live action stuff which seems to shy away from the fantastic aspects of superhero comics due to Smallville. I just do not want to watch a superhero show about people in t-shirts vaguely doing CGI at each other while mostly dealing with bad drama. I was convinced, and have posts in this thread, that I had watched half of the first season. Turns out it was only two episodes, but it had enough of CW teen drama/ rich folk problems BS that it turned me off. It has only been the repeated posts in here praising it and being sick for two days that pushed me to give it another shot. EDIT: Forgot to say that seeing just how ethusiastically Arrow embraces its comic origins is why I now understand the disappointment in SHIELD. It's a solid Whedon show, and I still enjoy it, but seing how balls out Arrow goes makes me wish it was more. Soonmot fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Man, even if I hadn't started watching Arrow and had seen what a good super hero show could be, there's no way I could defend that Deathlok costume. Ugh. Also: gently caress TV scheduling. No more SHIELD until April after only three episodes in three months? I can't wait until broadcast dies and things move to the Netflix format of everything at once, once a year.

Ffffffffffuck! I was so happy that Hand turned out not be a bad guy, and then Ward loving double taps her. As long as they don't back off on that twist, I think we'll have some good episodes in the future. SHIELD still has a long ways to go to catch up to Arrow, but these past couple weeks have been promising!

something clever posted:I want to get into it, but do not want to slog through the first 19. Is it necessary to watch all of them? Can I skip to the end of the season or is there a preferred watchlist going into season 2? I am definitely looking forward to Flash and wanted to get some background on that shared universe. I honestly only felt the first two or threw episodes were a slog. I was really down onArrow and poo poo talked it a bit until the third time I attempted to actually watched it and got past those first few episodes. Near the end of the first season it goes full on comic book amd is wonderful.

As of right now, if I want to stream Agent Carter episode 4 on ABC, I need to have a cable account. Download it now, have it play in the background on the offical site next week.

For jj, I liked the journey but didn't care for the destination. Series finale: cutting out the supporting cast like that was a bad idea. Especially how she treated Malcolm. That guy was there for every step of the way and she constantly dumped on him. I understand pushing Trish away, it's bad and dumb, but I understand it. But Malcolm was treated poorly. That said, he had a great story arc this season. Trish was really, really repetitious and I'm actually afraid to see what they do with Hellcat. Loved the flashback episode, but that was the height of the series for me, after that it started going downhill. I also don't get why they had her push away her friends, but still reach out to Oscar. I could have bought her pushing everyone away, that's a bad decision that fits. Oh well, still better than iron fist
