Even when you are seemingly killed off the work still keeps coming in.
Looking forward to this anyway.
He never even striked me as memorable and I wasn't bothered that he was "killed" in the Avengers .
I'll just watch them in the order they were released (so, Iron Man, then The Incredible Hulk), etc.
bumping threads to remind people f upcoming shows...
I really make alot of threads lol
Season premiere is tonight in the US
The episode is out.
I do like Cobie Smulders in that outfit.
Looks like something is up with Agent Coulson.
But should come out favourably.
It's too soon to say if this show is going to be good or not so I'll just keep watching and hope that it improves. The previews for upcoming episodes look promising.
And regarding Agent Coulson's return, they don't tell you how he survived his fate from THE AVENGERS (that's going to be an ongoing mystery that will be played out through the season) but I have a sneaking suspicion that he didn't. I think S.H.I.E.L.D. may have cloned him.
So will see this tomorrow (well later today).
Other people will probably be expecting a TV version of the movies/comic books, and while there will be plenty of nods to the films/comics to keep them entertained at first, ultimately, I think some people will be disappointed with the direction of the show. It's essentially a procedural set within the Marvel universe - a straight forward Villain of the Week format, most of whom are going to be new. The best Marvel stories and characters are always going to remain in the movies. The show will borrow from the Marvel universe, but it's definitely going to do its own thing rather than adapt stories from the Marvel universe. They're simply using the Marvel universe to draw people in.
Nick Fury' s ****ing flying car!!!
Awesome!!
Can't remember the place it was, but the location where he spent some time prior to his reassignment? Could have been the time he was grown. Would also explain why Coulson can't ever know the truth. The problem I have with the whole cloning thing though, they could essentially do that with any deceased agent. Someone dies, clone them and carry on.
I hope it's something else, but I can't think what else would require some internal secret that he can't be made aware of.
There are a few interesting suggestions:
1) He's been enrolled in the Super Soldier experiment
2) He never died (maybe it was a life decoy or clone, or a lie)
Kevin Smith had a theory in which it was suggested Coulson might be a robotic clone superhero (a specific one was named, but I can't remember/don't know, because I don't really do comics)
That's still essentially a clone though.
The one benefit we all have is that everyone watching the show is going to come to the same conclusion; a clone. Surely the writers (and Joss) aren't going to let it be that easy to suss him out as a clone? There's got to be more too it. They wouldn't let us have something that obvious, surely?
PS: IT Tech Girl is hawt!
Maybe he does, or maybe it's a secret....
Did we see him die or was it somebody else?
And no I didn't really see him die. I only saw Avengers on UK DVD....
Perhaps Fox were right all those years ago when they switched out the transmission order of Firefly, because they didn't think the official first episode was 'showy' enough.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it, It introduced the characters, the set up and a few ongoing arcs, whilst still managing to tell a story that essentially outlined what S.H.I.E.L.D are all about. Add to that some great performances, Coulson being Coulson and a witty and sometimes emotive script and I'd say that's job done.
I consider myself suitably and satisfyingly whelmed.
Still don't know what to expect from the series it's only been the pilot after all so definitely be tuning in next week.
Good to have joss back on tv.
Speaking of the characters it seems everyone of them (except Fitz-Simmons so far) had their "hidden" backstory introduced as well.
Coulson - Did he die or not?
Melinda - Why did she take up a desk job?
Skye - Who is she really (she has wiped all her real details from the system)?
Ward - What is his Family History?
Some amusing moments with Coulsons enterance and him injecting Ward being two of them.
Interesting story
Interesting characters
This show had neither. It was far too smug and sure of itself (probably from the combination of being a Whedon production and having more hype than any other pilot) without backing that up with anything of substance. Even the score was bland and quiet, is there another type of show on TV more deserving of a rousing theme than this?
