Shradow Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3T-evQZiQo I gotta say, I really liked the first episode. Obviously the show's got nothing on the Marvel movies, but if you try to hold it to that standard, you're silly. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Looks like a tacky version of Heroes, and Heroes was quite terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorSempra Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Not sure why none of you liked it, honestly. (And Night, I'm going to stab you later, only one part of Heroes was bad). Even in the movies, Colson was fairly witty, and it helps break the show up from the drama and the action. It's an interesting concept, the Project Centiepede stuff and how unstable it is. I really like it, I think it's gonna be a fantastic series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I liked it but the change from comic relief in the Avengers to almost supreme sense of authority Coulson holds in the show is a little off-putting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well, in this show, he is the boss of the group. Plus, as one of their higher ranking agents, I imagine, he's always been like that, we just didn't see much of it since he wasn't a main protagonist in the movies. And he still uses plenty of humor.

Tentacruel Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Can I just say that if I existed in this universe I would TOTALLY be part of that pseudo anarchist group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorSempra Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Can I just say that if I existed in this universe I would TOTALLY be part of that pseudo anarchist group. That consisted of one person living in a van? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is that what it was? It wasn't explained very well. Let me rephrase that. I'd be in a similar group but less idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Looks like a tacky version of Heroes, and Heroes was quite terrible.You can thank Jeph Loeb for that. From what I understand, the first season of Heroes was fine, but then Loeb came along and ruined it. And now he's in charge of Marvel's television division, but I think he doesn't have that much authority here, and only got credited as a formality.Rising Tide is the anarchist group, right? Maybe Skye is just a wannabe member of it?And yeah, I'm not expecting this to be like the movies. I will say that I didn't mind Coulson in the first Iron Man movie, hated him in Iron Man 2 and Thor, finally hopped on the bandwagon with Avengers, and I'm actually really enjoying him in this. If I did have any complaints, it's that there were three lines that bothered me.1. Skye's take on the "With great power" idea. Not bad, just made me sad that Sony has Spider-Man, even if I do like those movies.2. When the female scientist referenced Journey Into Mystery. Similar to the "With great power" line, it just felt like a forced reminder that this is a Marvel show.3. When Mike said "It's an origin story." Similar problem with the first two, I just want it to a comic book show without it actually telling us it's a comic book show.Still, I loved how the plot ended up tying into Iron Man 3. I'm sure they'll do something to tie in with Thor: The Dark World, and I look forward to the future connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I get the feeling the show will feature heroes not cool enough to get their own movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ｍｒ．Ｒｏｂｏｔ Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Saw the Pilot. It was decent. Don't think there's any pilot that can wow me ever since Person Of Interest(another espionage show created by Nolan with a lot of Batman-esqe influence) and Homeland pilot came to the tube. Will be sticking around though but damn Whedon, you regressed! The movie reference were great, the comic reference felt force and made me rolling my eyes, the characters are a bit too bland and stereotypical(ala Buffy era). Overall, Arrow >> Agent Of SHIELD in terms of a comic book show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I liked the first episode. Coulson made me chuckle with him acting...y'know, like Coulson. And it's interesting to see him show his serious side and reminding you why a bit of an airhead like him got to this important position. I'm glad the Extremis dude didn't die; he really wasn't a bad guy. I think the funniest bit was the truth serum scene. The one thing I didn't exactly like was that the anarchist girl was all against Shield and the government, but after one mission she made a complete 180. Maybe if she got involved with them earlier in the episode, then I'd be fine, but it's a minor complaint regardless. Solid start, I'll be looking forward to following this.

Well, she did think they were bad guys, which they weren't. Plus, since she was the only member of her anarchist group and living out of a van, it's not hard to imagine she'd move to greener pastures.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Second episode seemed to address my concerns on that a bit since she still seems to have an agenda. Decent team-builder episode, I really loved the Nick Fury cameo at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Second episode was weak. It moved the story along well but I was rather bored. Nice tye in to Captain America and Thor though. (More of a thor reference.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 It's odd, given how hyped I was for the show initially, how quickly I've lost interest. I haven't even finished the second episode, and I'm not sure I ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
