Comic Book Question of the Week Results: What did you think of 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?'

so 80% of comicvine likes the show. marvelOUS.

it was good, dat ending was stupid though

I think you hit caps lock and typed marvel and let go for the ous.

i think the show has alot of potential

It was pretty good, but kinda flat. I kept waiting for it to bust out and start getting nuts, but then I kept reminding myself, "This is television."

you mean flying car at the end? how is that stupid?

they has to establish a boundary of what is possible in the universe, so the following episodes can explore into more.

@goddamnironman: it was cheesy.

well, it seems people on here just love Arrow, and that show got stupid as hell. It's like General Hostpital meets Batman, and so far people on here are saying the Agents is okay sooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I have the 1st DVR'd. I'll check it out in a bundle of 3 or 4.

@goddamnironman: the car wasn't dumb, it's how it was executed, too cheese..

I didn't really like the pilot, not much interested in the 2nd episode either, but I hope it's better than the first.

@allstarsuperman: They have flying cars in the comics!!! It's a SHIELD thing!!

@om1kron:

@smart_dork_dude: I agree with this:

Well, given how heavily tied into the movie universe this is. I really hope Coulson is an LMD and will eventually become Ultron.

Unlikely as that may be.

I liked the flying car in the end is kind of an homage for Nick Fury Agent of shield in the old days....

If they have a giaaaaaaaant flying ship which can cloak, I have no problem whatsoever with a flying car.

is it me or has marvel become a little to campy. I prefer gritty hard nosed storys hopefully that's what the new gotham tv series will be like

I thought it was better than pretty good, but it didn't reach the level of love for me either. Not quite sure which category I would have voted for. Hoping it will find it's footing in the episodes to come and truly be worthy of loving.

I squealed so hard when Coulson's car started flying. The flying cars are possibly my favorite aspect of SHIELD in the comics. I thought they might wait a few episodes to reveal that. Also, it will be interesting to find out, but I'm still pretty sure Coulson is an LMD.

Who were the two characters people didn't like? I didn't have strong feelings about any of them, except my ongoing man-crush on Clark Gregg.

Well, Iron Man started the Cinematic Universe off clever and funny, and Joss Whedon (if nothing else) is perpetually self-aware. Where those two circles coincide in the Venn Diagram is camp. Especially if you have a somewhat constricted budget.

@jamdamage: that's not what arrow is at all, yea the love craps stupid but its the cw. But to say its general hospital meets batman is a bold assumptiom

@iron_turtle: you my friend have the right idea, its better then Jarvis becoming ultron... With coulston it would Atleast have a connection and that revenge factormagainst the avengers, better then some stupid computer wanting complete control, haven't we seen that already? Skynet was the name.

Didn't get the chance to vote, but I really liked. I loved The Avengers and I could feel the tone of the movie in the show. And though some would say the jokes were lame I found them very amusing.

You probably should have asked this after it aired in the UK.

I liked it enough where I'll tune in again but my problem with the show is besides Coulson I just don't care about any of the characters. Maybe fitts and simmons....maybe. I feel Sky is just there to be the hot girl.

I like the show. I'll be watching the series. This is the second Joss Whedon show that I like and probably the third I've seen. I really liked Angel, don't care that much for Buffy, and I'm liking Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It might turn into my favorite Marvel show at this rate. Still need to check out some of the shows Marvel is putting out right now.

the show felt forced to me like for example the jokes, the characters (expect coulson) and the over all the plot hopefully the second episode wont be as bad as the first but im not holding my breath on that

I was excited about the show before I ever watched the pilot episode. And I'm still looking forward to the next episode. Though it retained Coulson's humor from the movies, I feel it was a tad dry at moments, but otherwise enjoyable. I'm kind of hoping that Michael becomes an active member of the cast, part of the team. Having someone like him would bring a lot of diversity and physical power.

THIS SHOW IS B O R I N G!!

It was good, fairly cheesy and the some dialogue needs improvement but all in all i enjoyed it

I didn't see it. Should I have?

i thought it was great !

Meh. Not really.

@xwraith: A few laughs, some references to the cinematic universe. If you enjoyed Avengers, or Coulson? Then yeah, check it out :)

@the_rumor: I liked Avengers, but I don't see what the big deal about Agent Coulson is.

@xwraith: He seems to just be the most prominent human anchor in a world of super heroes.

There are A list comic books characters like Cap, Iron Man, Spidey, and other commonly known heroes/teams. Then there are B list comic books characters like Luke Cage, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, etc. This show is like taking a bunch of C list original characters and putting them together. Its using a lot of references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is fine as long as they tone it down because that will get old fast. They have to establish themselves as being in the same universe, but as a separate entity and not just ride the coat tails of The Avengers' success. If the first season is like the first episode, I'll probably drop it. Never really like Colby Smulders as Maria Hill and the SHIELD only parts of the Avengers (mostly the beginning) seemed kind of off and awkward to me. This show is carrying that awkwardness around with it in my opinion and Coulson's charm is best used as comic relief than as a highlight of a main character in the show. Still wanna see the twist about him, but if the show is bad I have no problem reading spoilers about it on the internet.

Average, predictable, lackluster and run of the mill come to mind.

It's just more of the same really.

I'll stick with Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad and their ilk for my T.V fix. The lines of demarcation in quality, realism, drama, action, storytelling and character development, should we dare to compare, are all too apparent.

Regardless, the comic book fanboy in me might tune into an episode here and there mind you.

@sentryman555: I like the quirky science duo, they're fun.

Eh, not bad, not great.

Some characters are a bit campy, but I'll let the show progress before deciding whether I like it or not...

It had the makings of a Whedon production, but was missing the interesting plot element. It was has some fun characters and the dialogue was hands down the most interesting part of it. I'll watch it more as it's pretty much the only show on now to watch, but I hope the plots get more complex than just a "Super Power Mystery of the Week" show! The plane set did give me some Firefly vibes though so I'll stick around for a while!

yeah i was happy with it,not over cooked on marvels big players,sorta see shields other work away from thor,hulk,ironman etc etc etc,,should only get better.

It was ok. Has a lot of potential but the characters seem cheesy. I give it 7/10 for the pilot.

i think people should give it a few more episodes before saying its bad. pilots are always a bit slow since they have to establish EVERYONE. once they have their episodes more focused it should be great. i have faith in whedon. i also hope it doesnt get dark since theres way too many shows like that and this should be different. also why are people complaining about a flying car? they have a fucking flying fortress that can cloak itself i think they can have a flying car. it reminded me of nick fury agent of shield. overall i say this has great potential

@wade_wilson22: Lol thanks for link.
the show is not that great... but its got potential. plus.. Coulson is an LMD..

It was meh, it may go somewhere but so far I have not been impressed, if I had to rate the first episode I would give it a 5/10.
It was just a lot of the same old story, I get that it needs to be like that you know, but throw some curve balls in there, some of the acting was.....questionable, but they also have some awesome actors backing it up and the two scientist types did have me laughing a little. It has potential to be good, but also has the potential to fall on it's face.

My verdict: Undecided
