I haven't caught the most recent two episodes, but to this point I've found that despite my best attempts to like it, I just really feel like it hasn't gone anywhere yet. Admittedly, I don't do a lot of TV watching in the first place, but I haven't found myself caring too much about any of the characters and there does seem to be anything to recommend it if you don't just want to see everything Marvel.Grenge Di Origin said:Can anyone tell me if the rest of the series is worth watching, without spoiling?
Honestly you're probably better off just watching an episode or two (You can do so for free over on ABC's website) and judging for yourself. Personally I wasn't terribly impressed, and would not recommend the show as it stands, but your opinion may differ.Grenge Di Origin said:Has the show not done anything interesting? Has it introduced any heroes or plot points that look to be crucial in the main Marvel movies? Content is reputation, not the name, a fact that I fear the show has completely misunderstood. Are my fears founded?
Wait, can Marvel Studios do Spider-Woman? I kinda figured that, with her namesake, it would tie into the Spider-Man franchise bundle now being held by Sony (for now). Or is she one of those characters, like Namor, is in a gray area on who owns the rights? Either way, good theory.One more guess for Skye: Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman. She has one of the most absurdly convoluted, over-retconned backstories in all of Marvel (at one point, she believed that she was actually a common spider evolved-up into a humanoid-looking form by The High Evolutionary) but it usually involves receiving powers at a young age somewhere remote. She's been both a S.H.I.E.L.D and HYDRA agent, and also has connections to The Skrulls ("Chitauri" in the movieverse.)
As somebody who loves most of the Marvel movies (of the interconnected Marvel cinematic universe), I don't recommend AoS to people. I haven't seen or read anything that is likely to be a huge part of upcoming movies and nothing else justifies tuning in every week to watch it.Grenge Di Origin said:So I watched the first episode and thought it was kind of self-assured, looking more pretentious than potential.
Can anyone tell me if the rest of the series is worth watching, without spoiling?
To be fair, I believe they have introduced and expanded on a lot of elements that could tie in with the movies. Being light on the spoilers:Grenge Di Origin said:The phrase "just want to see everything Marvel" alarms me. People shouldn't want to watch this show just because it's Marvel, they want to watch the show because it'd be something to be worth watching.Falterfire said:I haven't caught the most recent two episodes, but to this point I've found that despite my best attempts to like it, I just really feel like it hasn't gone anywhere yet.

Yeah, it's actually a lot more complicated than that.Johnny Novgorod said:So the answer to Coulson's mysterious resurrection is... he got resurrected? That's it? How underwhelming.
And no I don't think there's any reason for it other than "audiences like the guy".
