“It Means someone really wanted our initials to spell out Shield”
!!!!! Love it already though of course I am incredibly biased as both a Whedon and Marvel fan but looks amazing like the production values, has humour, has action, has a bunch of different characters and has Coulson!
I'm placing my bets on Melinda May as my fave. Not only I have a soft spot for alliteration, but "Badass Normal" characters are one of my favorite archetypes
First, this looks great. Second, it's great to see Ming-Na in a role that won't waste her talents. Third, and finally, this scope of this show looks so huge I wonder how they can keep it up every week on a TV show budget.
As predictable as it may be... I AM SO IN FOR THIS ONE! I wasn't even a huge fan of the avengers movie, but this looks incredible. It will work out for ABC hopefully and become biiig!
I agree with the budget consideration, I think there is a chance we might be in for a Terra Nova, in the sense that it has to have higher ratings than normal to survive, to compensate for the costs.
I wouldn't worry about budget. The Marvel division of Disney has the most pull in the company, because again their product has grossed them billions of dollars so if the ratings are decent to good it will continue to have a good budget.
A good point. If they don't find a way to do a handful of bottle episodes and episodes with plots that don't require a lot of large-scale action and stunt work, this could definitely become a Terra Nova situation.
They all have to justify their budgets and, whether it's at Marvel's end or ABC's, there's going to be a threshold where the ratings will no longer justify the production budget of a show like SHIELD. The higher the budget, the better the ratings have to be. No show is immune to that.
What? They're integrating the character into canon, but Ultimate Spider-Man has nothing to do with the Avengers films. It was just a fun little crossover.
You are so right, it does sound as Cobie a lot, I'm putting my money that it is indeed her.
It makes me wonder somethings. Before the renewal, HIMYM's 8 season seemed to be its last. Would it had been possible that Cobie was considered for the cast given the focus on SHIELD?
Maybe not, but nonetheless, it makes me hope we will see her guest starring on Agents of SHIELD from time to time!
Yeah my thoughts were it was always the plan for the show to have her on it. But cause of the HIMYM renewal she'll only have a few guest spots until season two.
This show looks so freakin' cool! I can't wait! It's like a mini-movie! I hope the actual episodes are just as great as these trailers have been. EEE!!! =)
Melinda May & Coulson were most intriguing to me, before seeing the promos & getting interested in everybody. I second the notion that Ming-Na is finally (hopefully) not going to be wasted on a lackluster show. This show's budget must be huge cause the production value looks really great.
I think this is a case of a show's pilot budget being noticeably larger than its per-episode budget. I'm anxious to see some footage from follow-up episodes to compare the scope and the quality of the visuals.
Thanks for the info.! That sounds logical, and I agree. For a show like this, visuals has to keep pretty good to keep the suspension of belief imo. Still, I'm more interested in the execution of this show (i.e., writing, direction, acting, story, etc.).
Please don't take that as fact. I'm only assuming about the budget because it's not an uncommon practice. I'm also interested in the show's execution as well. Without the writing and acting to back it up, we'll be stuck with another Terra Nova situation.
No worries, Bruce. I just meant I agree with the logic that this may be a one-off with a great pilot with a big budget, and a slightly more manageable budget for later ep's kind of deal. Once Upon a Time was like that. I'm worried about the Terra Nova situation too, so hopefully this show doesn't end up as disappointing.

ReplyDeleteHoly fuck. I haven't even finished yet and I love it! I am so excited for this show!
ReplyDeleteFigures his death was faked. Makes more sense that way for the story of the show instead of everything happening in the past.
ReplyDelete“It Means someone really wanted our initials to spell out Shield”
ReplyDelete!!!!! Love it already though of course I am incredibly biased as both a Whedon and Marvel fan but looks amazing like the production values, has humour, has action, has a bunch of different characters and has Coulson!
Okay, um... can it start, like, today? I'm becoming a tad bit obsessed with this TV show now! Agents of SHIELD is going to be epic!
ReplyDeleteoh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteso, maybe the can invite at some moment of the series a cameo from Tony Stark? or Bruce Banner?
ReplyDeleteIf Coulson died then he wouldn't never appear in Marvel's Ultimate Spider man on Disney XD lol
ReplyDeleteOfficially excited!

ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this. I just hope it doesn't get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteI'm placing my bets on Melinda May as my fave. Not only I have a soft spot for alliteration, but "Badass Normal" characters are one of my favorite archetypes
ReplyDeleteWelcome to level 7!!!! (Also was that Cobie Smulder's voice at the asking "what does Shield stand for?")
ReplyDeleteInitially skeptical...
ReplyDeleteAfter 3 minutes of awesomeness
SO EFFING EXCITED FOR THIS
ABC hit a jackpot
ReplyDeleteLooks very good but it's a long time to wait..
ReplyDeletei dont know about u guys, but i think this will probably be ABC's biggest hit for 2013/2014
ReplyDeleteOH Crap this looks so great.
ReplyDeleteOMG epicness overload! It think it might be the best trailer for a TV show that I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteEPIC!!! This is most exciting show of the next season by far!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, this looks great. Second, it's great to see Ming-Na in a role that won't waste her talents. Third, and finally, this scope of this show looks so huge I wonder how they can keep it up every week on a TV show budget.
ReplyDeleteNot going to see it, NCIS is at 8.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait!!
ReplyDeleteok. Whedon. Marvel. Coulson. A little bit of Paris. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteDon't touch Lola. Hehe.
As predictable as it may be... I AM SO IN FOR THIS ONE! I wasn't even a huge fan of the avengers movie, but this looks incredible. It will work out for ABC hopefully and become biiig!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the budget consideration, I think there is a chance we might be in for a Terra Nova, in the sense that it has to have higher ratings than normal to survive, to compensate for the costs.
ReplyDeleteAs Frank Reynolds once said, "I'm all boned up over here"
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about budget. The Marvel division of Disney has the most pull in the company, because again their product has grossed them billions of dollars so if the ratings are decent to good it will continue to have a good budget.
ReplyDeleteA good point. If they don't find a way to do a handful of bottle episodes and episodes with plots that don't require a lot of large-scale action and stunt work, this could definitely become a Terra Nova situation.
ReplyDeleteHopefully not though, because the show looks incredible
ReplyDeleteThey all have to justify their budgets and, whether it's at Marvel's end or ABC's, there's going to be a threshold where the ratings will no longer justify the production budget of a show like SHIELD. The higher the budget, the better the ratings have to be. No show is immune to that.
ReplyDeleteWhat? They're integrating the character into canon, but Ultimate Spider-Man has nothing to do with the Avengers films. It was just a fun little crossover.
ReplyDeleteEasily the show I'm most excited for next season. This looks amazing, I absolutely love everything about this.
ReplyDeleteI'm already hooked! Everything looks so awesome and epic :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems so f-ing good!
ReplyDeleteI'm in
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, it does sound as Cobie a lot, I'm putting my money that it is indeed her.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder somethings. Before the renewal, HIMYM's 8 season seemed to be its last. Would it had been possible that Cobie was considered for the cast given the focus on SHIELD?
Maybe not, but nonetheless, it makes me hope we will see her guest starring on Agents of SHIELD from time to time!
Now that looks AWESOME. Can't wait to see it. And maybe even to see maybe some of the Avengers back.
ReplyDeleteMe likey!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good. Very much looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI just wanna see this show all the more now after this trailer
ReplyDelete''Is one of them the hard way?''
ReplyDelete''No''
''Oh''
''Don't touch LoLa''
LAMO! Typical Joss Whedon humor at its best!
Yeah my thoughts were it was always the plan for the show to have her on it. But cause of the HIMYM renewal she'll only have a few guest spots until season two.
ReplyDeleteStill, glad Coulson lived!
Could this finally be a show that could compete with NCIS? I'm a huge NCIS fan but I would watch this over NCIS at this point, Hopefully it can last.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in! Finally a new show with all the elements I like yeey!
ReplyDeleteHow fun it be if spider man did appear in Avengers 2 lol
ReplyDeleteAlso i didn't realize that Clark Gregg who plays Coulson is the same actor who provides the voice to Coulson in Ultimate Spider man lol
I gotta admit in Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes the actor who did the voice for Tony Stark sounded almost like Robert Downy Jr lol
This show looks so freakin' cool! I can't wait! It's like a mini-movie! I hope the actual episodes are just as great as these trailers have been. EEE!!! =)
ReplyDeleteMelinda May & Coulson were most intriguing to me, before seeing the promos & getting interested in everybody. I second the notion that Ming-Na is finally (hopefully) not going to be wasted on a lackluster show. This show's budget must be huge cause the production value looks really great.
ReplyDeleteI hope she does guest star or recur. I liked her character in the Avengers movie.

ReplyDeleteABC's new LOST.
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be HUUUUUGE and I'm SO EXCITED!!!
Definitely my most anticipated show!! :D
