The problem people are having is that there is not really any valid explanation for why the comic material SHOULD be sparse and that the show so far seems to be going out of its way to avoid comic material

Arrow isn't tied to a greater shared universe, though (to my knowledge?). On the other hand, whenever you introduce a new character in AoS, you're making it a bit harder to introduce and/or use them in potential future movies, which are obviously the big money-makers and take absolute precedence. They might also feel obligated to at least half-rear end a reason for why the characters they introduced won't be showing up to punch Ultron in two years, too.

There are ways around that, sure, but I think that would count as a "valid explanation". I don't know about the example you provided, either, since obviously they're trying to build up a mystery, and not "refusing to use" anything.

Also, I really want Coulson to turn out to be a Skrull who lost his memory after he got bonked on the head. I think that would single-handedly justify every poor decision they've made with that show.

They transplanted his brain into a Chitauri body because he knew a terrible secret, and it turns out they ARE shapeshifters.

I'm mostly excited for Iron Fist, because my TV shows have been severely lacking in awesome balls-to-the-wall kung-fu fights.

I wonder if he's ever going to don the red.

He'll wear the yellow costume, actually.
