Brian Fowler Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Ron Glass on the show every week would, indeed, be awesome. I think not having super powers on the team is sort of the mission statement, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I wonder if Glass could be an aged Gabe Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipGofern Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 And evidently Sam Jackson let slip that Elizabeth Olsen is indeed Scarlet Witch. http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/samuel-l-jackson-confirms-that-elizabeth-olsen-is-set-to-play-scarlet-witch-in-avengers-sequel I still don't get how Marvel can use Witch and Silver in their movie to begin with. Usually rights are very specific. Like the Daredevil movie had to use the New York Post for Ulrich because the Spidey franchise owned all usage of Daily Bugle. I would've thought Fox's contract for X-Men gave them exclusivity over any and all mutant characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 No they were very briefly X-Men villains first, before becoming Avengers. They were Avengers way longer, so they should get first crack. Fox has made like seventy X movies and have not used them. My guess is they use that shit they did with Watchmen and sue right when the movie is completed.

Bustronaut Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Their FIRST APPEARANCE was as members of The Brotherhood of (Evil) Mutants, and they became Avengers about a year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Which is not very long in the big picture. More of their published history is in Avengers. Particularly Scarlet Witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Apparently, Marvel can't use the word mutant with them (or on AoS) either, so it is all very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually rights are very specific. Like the Daredevil movie had to use the New York Post for Foggy because the Spidey franchise owned all usage of Daily Bugle. I would've thought Fox's contract for X-Men gave them exclusivity over any and all mutant characters. When this was first announced, Marvel/Disney made it pretty clear that there were a half dozen characters who were explicitly non-exclusive licenses to Fox, and Fox have never debated that. I don't see why it's so surprising; I'm honestly shocked there aren't more of those (like, say, the Bugle as you mentioned). If anything, I'd be surprised that FOX can use them; they made their first appearances in X-Men comics, but they've been FAR more important to the mythos of the Avengers. It'd be like insisting that Fox's rights to Silver Samurai lapsed with Daredevil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just finished watching episode two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., 0-8-4. Agree with the consensus here, this was a better episode. Loved the cameo. Like to get another one like it at some point in the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yeah, totally spouted off half-cocked about SW and QS before I double checked. I coulda swore they were Avengers first, but I was late to the X-Men party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Really am starting to feel that the show is starting to pick up a little steam. I enjoyed this episode a lot. Also: GRAVITON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Graviton origin story works, as we get a super villian for the show now. Although he probably won't come back until they super-power up Skye into Spider-Woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I dug tonight's episode a decent bit. I feel they are seemingly improving the overall atmosphere and dynamic of the show with each episode. Have to say though I don't care at all for Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigertooth Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This was pretty good. I think part of it is that I'm adjusting my expectations, much like I did with Arrow. As others have said, the winking at the movies thing needs to stop. Also, Whedon usually tries to get around tropes, so it's weird that he has a lead character saying to his science buddies "In English, please?" (or words to that effect) (Granted, Joss probably didn't do much for this episode) I didn't really buy May's sudden turnaround on getting into active missions. I hope that isn't all there is to that plotline. If that's it, her character just became less interesting. And none of the other SHIELDies got any more interesting. Handsome White was bullied by his brother. Fascinating. I dug this version of Franklin Hall (as with week 1, I found the villain -- who won't be back next week -- more interesting than most of the regulars). I hope when he does come back, he keeps up the "this is too much power; it must be destroyed" thing going. And Ian Quinn could be a decent recurring bad guy.

Bustronaut Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can we get Skye a new haircut? It's creeping me out that Whedon's got such a specific type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can we get Skye a new haircut? It's creeping me out that Whedon's got such a specific type. If there is one thing this show doesn't need to change it is how Skye looks. Even though no woman has ever boxed with her hair down, curled, and perfectly teased(and no one on set wanted to tell her to stop leading with her right). Did her hair even get wet when she jumped into the pool? Despite those two complaints, I'm not complaining. Things that do need to change... Fitz comes off like a giant douche, he is just unlikeable. Simmons doesn't bother me as much, probably because she doesn't seem to talk down to people. Melinda May goes from completely and totally against field work in the first three episodes, and now she is volunteering for it. They need to give a reason for the change of heart. So Grant Ward's whole life changed because his brother beat him up as a kid...is that really the best they could come up with? How about his father was killed by some unexplained force or his mom was Dr. Doom's concubine? How about something that could bear fruit in the future. He isn't even a character, he is just a coat rack with a gun. Questions: So, does Coulson know he died or does he think he was in Tahiti? Does everyone else know he died, or do they think he was in Tahiti? Are we supposed to know whether or not any of these people know whether or not he died or was in Tahiti? So will Graviton be the big bad going forward, or is it whatever corporation created the dude in the pilot? Does that corporation even exist any more or was that just for the pilot? What about the crazy scientist guy? Is he going to be a recurring villian? If Skye is Jessica Drew does she already have her powers? If so, wouldn't last night's episode be a perfect time to tease her ability to influence men? If she doesn't have her powers, how does she get them?
