from PunkBoy Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently in its 3rd season, coming on at Tuesdays at 9/8 central. It's hardly unique anymore to have a television show about superheroes, but AoS has a lot to offer. First, the show revolves around the "normals" and how they deal with an abnormal world, rather than the superpowered individuals themselves (well, maybe less so now with the Inhumans). Second, it ties in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While there will likely be very few AoS cameos in the MCU, the show frequently demonstrates the repercussions of all the destruction/change that goes down in the movies. After a shaky first half to the first season (it benefits from binge-watching), the show has overall high ratings (90% on rotten tomatoes if you're into that), and is very action-packed. If you absolutely must skip to when it gets amazing, skip to S01E16: The End of the Beginning. It's on Netflix! Season 1 involved Agent Coulson (from the movies) getting together a specialty crew meant to protect against the threat of the rising superhuman presence. Along the way, Hydra (from Captain America) resurfaced (in The Winter Soldier), and one of Coulson's own - Ward - betrayed them. Hydra almost took over, but Coulson's team pulled through. Season 2 dealt with the repercussions of the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. and introduced the Inhumans (who haven't been introduced in the MCU yet; the movie is slated for November 2, 2018, according to Google). It turned out there were two S.H.I.E.L.D.s working concurrently, and the two of them and Hydra were all at odds with one another. Hydra was all but eliminated, but a final scene with Ward indicated that would likely change. Let me know (post or PM me) if you want me to add anything to the thread. Also, no more "that's not her name!" stuff. It's old. PunkBoy posted:Come on in guys, that water's fine! PunkBoy posted:mastajake fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Oct 14, 2015 |

Excited as gently caress. Wonder what this year's "did they bang" or "who shot dog" endless argument might be.

Since Phase 2 all had people losing hands in reference to Empire Strikes Back, will all the Phase 3 ones have someone getting thrown down a chasm?

Barry Convex posted:Believe what you want, Inhumans on this show are not happening until/unless they're introduced in the films (which Feige did hint could happen earlier than 2018, to be fair). You will probably start to see some TV->film integration, as opposed to just the reverse, beginning with AOU, but that's unlikely to ever be anything more than relatively small cameos or Easter eggs. Needs to go back in the OP though.

I'm really curious as to how far into the Inhuman backlog they end up going this season, obviously I doubt they'll actually have any of the Royal Family show up, but I wonder if they'll do some namedrops and innuendo about their existence. Either way, I'm beyond hyped to have this show back, and with the SHIELD/Carter setup I know I basically get an hour of fun television from here on until May...

I think they're going to be pretty much done with the Inhuman society thing and instead focus on the people changed.

Any inhumans we see will most likely be A) 3rd tier background Inhumans from the comics B) New inhumans from the comics or C) made up whole cloth (but have powers similar to mutant powers).Klungar posted:The question is, will Ward shoot him, or will they just talk?

If a new meme is created then whatever, but seriously do knock off the name one. It's beyond old at this point. I don't want to make it probatable because I'd like to think some of you have self control, but we know that's drat well not true.

A slightly shiny op shows that we have a little bit of OP budget at least! Also Coulson is so happy that he's got a new jet.

So someone is killing every inhuman they find. Inhumans are definitely Disney's mutants.

Normally I wouldn't say this OP but I think you really should explain the exact point the show steps up it's game in Season 1. The biggest problem with AoS is getting people to make it through the rocky start. I know you mentioned that, but more light at the end of the tunnel is good. PS: Anyone reading this thread for the first time, the show VASTLY improves in the last quarter of the first season and has been on an upward slope since.
