ComicConnoisseur Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I didn't dislike the third episode -- it was much better than the first two episodes, and it kept my attention. I do wish they would get rid of the Wonder Twins -- they add nothing to the show. I liked this third episode best so far. The last images in the Gravitron made me think of Quasimodo. Yes, the Wonder Kids are boring. They need a tough Wolverine type of character. Most of these characters seem to be the kind of people who are too nice. Too nice is boring on TV. They need a bad arse to be put into the mix. Yeah, the "tough" pretty-boy isn't gonna cut it there. I guess Ming Na's character will be the "badass" of the group. How that will play out...? -slym He is a generic pretty boy. He kind of reminds me that they want the Arrow look. I like the Arrow show, but what works for the CW network fan base won`t work for Marvel fans. Different demographics. I am going to watch the whole first season because I expect a big bang in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Loeb starts the panel by reminding the crowd that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." got picked up a full 22-episode season earlier this week, and said that viewers should watch the show live, and stick around to the very end -- so as not to miss bits like the recent Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury cameo NYCC LIVE: Jeph Loeb Talks "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydJBailey Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think I might watch the last 2 minutes of every episode in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Roberts Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just watched the last 2 episodes (been on the road to NYCC), so thought I would weigh in. Both of the episodes were better than the 1st two episodes. Not that it is saying much, but at least both were enjoyable to me. Overall, still not nearly what I expected or hoped for, but getting better, and I will keep recording the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I agree with Dale -- the episodes are slowly improving. Episode #4 was above average to good. The opening sequence appeared to be filmed in Stockholm (at least the outdoor sequence), and the scene in "Belarus" (I doubt it was filmed there) certainly had the look and feel of a former Russian republic. So kudos on location filming. I'm hoping the worst (the first two episodes) is behind MAOS and that it will continue to improve. The one change that desperately needs to be made is to drop the Wonder Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Series is slowly improving into C+/B- territory...funnier, more action, less goofy romance And we only need one of the Wonder Twins. I vote for her. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slym2none Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 They are taking their time, but getting better. I am definitely sticking around. Besides, Skye is great eye-candy. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Balls Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 1st episode: I faked liking it. 2nd episode: I didn't like it. 3rd episode: I could see liking it. 4th episode: I actually liked it. Despite the rocky start, I'm starting to enjoy it. The characters are settling in and the annoying establishing dialogue they were saddled with has subsided. The Scottish scientist has to go, hopefully in a violent way. It's definitely starting to get a 'Firefly' feel with them hanging out constantly on the plane and making it their home. And that's ok.

I liked it too. I actually laughed when Ward saw the "SEDUCE HIM" command and said "Help" Did anyone notice Steranko (and Millar) in the special thanks credits? How are they involved in the show?

Dr. Balls Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I liked it too. I actually laughed when Ward saw the "SEDUCE HIM" command and said "Help" Honestly, that was a great moment and scene for Ward (the interchange and fight) - who generally seemed very wooden up to that point. I may be reading too much into it, but it seems that there is always a scene or episode early on that makes the character likeable to the audience, and for me - that was it.

kdoginohio Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 So, rogue agent gets controlled by outside source and gets hauled off at the end. Same thing happens to Hawkeye and he gets to be an Avenger? I actually think his body count was higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
