Joss Whedon (MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) shows us not all heroes are super with MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven’t been classified yet—the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). Their initial investigations lead them to civilian computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual—of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents—that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.
Executive Produced and co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen (Dollhouse, Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias) and Jeph Loeb (Smallville, Lost, Heroes) comes Marvel’s first live-action TV series, MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

So who is planning to watch? I have watched all of Joss's other shows, but I was pretty underwhelmed by The Avengers movies tbh after all the hype... I kind of went into that one blind because my flist kept raving about it, and Idk it seemed well-done sure, but I would have never ordinarily watched a movie like that quite honestly because it's just not so not my sort of thing. So yeah, I think I'll be going this a miss

Date: 2013-05-11 01:27 pm (UTC)Same! I was really expecting a lot more after all the critical and fan praise I was reading, so I convinced some other people to see it with me, and it didn't impress any of us much. I mean you couldn't call it a bad film or anything, but still it just didn't wow me and I feel a bit left out of all the squee I keep seeing. I guess that maybe it would have helped if I was familiar with the source material, or had seen any of the previous films :shrugs: I didn't even realise at the time that there were previous films to catch up on lol, it was more just ooh this is the big new Joss Wheadon film that everyone is raving about, I must see it

Date: 2013-05-11 02:08 pm (UTC)Might give it a shot after the inevitable "Better than Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse combined!" hype. Not so much for Joss because I've kinda given up on the idea he has anything interesting to say, but I like Jeff Bell's stuff.

Date: 2013-05-11 02:20 pm (UTC)Superhero movies -- sometimes I like them because I like fantasy adventure, sometimes they bore me because I'm not into costumed heroes per se.
I liked The Avengers a lot, and it was definitely because of the Joss touch with the characters and the humor. Also, he finally got The Hulk/Dr. Banner characterization right, which neither of the Hulk movies had managed to do. The other Avengers meant nothing to me, but I used to flat-out adore the Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk series, and had very definite ideas about how I wanted to see the character(s) treated.
But the Joss-involved movie that I love-love-loved last year was The Cabin in the Woods.
The Joss show that I only watched because Joss was Dollhouse. The premise did not sound exciting to me, but I ended up liking it. I think the premise didn't seem enticing because it sounded like, by its very nature, it couldn't be about the characters.

Date: 2013-05-11 03:48 pm (UTC)Also, as nutso as the Coulson fangirls are, I do really like the character and want to see him in his own show. So there's that.

Date: 2013-05-12 03:19 am (UTC)If this were a Joss show that had no connection to Marvel, I probably wouldn't bother with it. I love Buffy, but the rest of Joss' TV shows have not impressed me much.
