'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Renewed and 'Agent Carter' Picked Up

Good news now all the show need,s is a different time slot. It competes with NCIS in my region.

The agent carter short was interesting a T.V show could work.

I'll be surprised if Agent Carter is successful, but I hope it is. It's great seeing a female Marvel character getting the spotlight, but why someone as obscure as Carter?

I'm not saying Agent Carter isn't a strong character, but it would be nice to see someone besides Cap's girlfriend. How about instead of a Cap side kick, use a character that can stand on her own feet.

Why not have an awesome super hero like Carol Danvers, Sif, Elektra, or She-Hulk. Not only could they make the character more empowering, it would just be much more entertaining. I don't think many people watch a Marvel show and do not expect to see super heroes, so why make a second show that is not about super heroes?

I'm not complaining though, I'm sure the show will be at least ok, and possibly great.

If anything, we're in for a treat with the Netflix shows coming up at least.

Not surprised. What else does ABC have to show? Plus it's owned by Disney, so do the math.

Until I saw the one shot, I had no interest in Carter. Once I saw it and the genesis of SHEILD, I felt her show was necessary. An origin story for SHEILD, should be awesome.

I'm in the minority in that I liked AoS from the beginning. I like the whole concept of where humans fit in the world after the Battle of New York. It's a unique take from the human perspective. It takes a much deeper dive than the X-Men movies do on humans. I'm not knocking the X-Men, I love them. They just focus on the power struggle, not the human vulnerability and spirit. I'm kind of maxed on SuperHeros with all the great movies being churned out right now, so this take was something I could get into. Deathlocke's origin story is still developing, which is great given his humble beginnings. I'm glad it's getting renewed, but at some point I'll personally feel saturated. It's probably why I've been in and out on Arrow and was luke warm on MOS. No worries though, my favorite book is still Batman, lol.

@the_stegman: The series is called Agents of Shield!!!!!!!! How many times does this need to be said??? The focus of the show is on human agents not superheroes!!! How can you judge a series based on the fact that Super-heroes won't be showing up every 5 minutes???

No god.

Agent Carter could be a good way to introduce some of the golden age characters into continuity, some that might be forgotten otherwise. Maybe Namor might show up?

@micah: The entire point of SHIELD is to deal with the rising super human population, yet, the only superhuman we see are generic bad guys. They keep name dropping heroes but don't actually show any.

For me, AoS is 'ok'. Not great, not horrible. Haven't seen the 'short' of Peggy Carter.

I think I would rather ABC had cancelled REVENGE and added Agent Sharon Carter to the cast of AoS!!!

Awesome, so glad to hear AoS is returning! :D This show has gone from complete trash to shining gold in my eyes. Winter Solider was the best thing to happen to it.

It appears my faith in the show wasn't the only thing that was...

"renewed".

Forgot about that one. Even better then :)

Technically, those four are also side characters...

Sounds good to me. Agents of SHIELD still has its flaws but I feel like they've successfully turned it around from the bad show it started as. And I don't hate seeing Haley Atwell in anything, hopefully it's good.

I really had doubts about AOS, since most viewers were complaining about it. Now that the show got a second season, I'll have to watch the first season.

This is great news.

They started out as side characters, but they aren't anymore (Well Sif kind of still is). Carol Danvers has her own on-going series (and is even using the title Captain Marvel), but she has not been considered a side character for quite a few years now. Elektra no longer relies on DareDevil, as she's been in Thunderbolts, and has her own on-going series right now and very much stands on her own. She-Hulk has definitely not been a side character for many years. She's been B or maybe even C-lister for a long time, but she's always been a fan favorite of Marvel. She also has her own on-going series right now. The only way I'd consider She-Hulk a side character is if you're considering everyone outside of Hulk, Cap, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, and Wolverine a side character, which I do not.

Agent Carter on the other hand, I think she relies on swimming in Cap's wake to really be much of anything. There's nothing wrong with it, and hopefully this show can change that for her.

Honestly though, I would just rather see one of the other 4 women get a series because it would be more entertaining to me, and it doesn't really have anything to do with me wanting to see female empowerment. That would just be a bonus.

I'm sure the show will be ok, and some people will probably love it. It might even be great. It's just not so much for me. If I'm watching a Marvel movie/tv show, I'd like to see some super heroes, specially because there is already a spy/agent series with Agents of SHIELD already. Just my opinion, not really a complaint.

Awesome! So glad these are both happening. Surprised about the negativity in these comments, though. Oh well, those are Arrow fanboys for ya.

@masterbelmont: haha yeah Ikr, sheesh just let us celebrate for a second.

I would not focus on Agent Carter exclusively. My guess is this is a AoS origin show complete with Howard Stark generating tech, in my humble opinion. In fact the last AoS episode had his old spy tech. Who knows, this might spin into Tony Stark's childhood exploits? Obediah is likely to be hanging around. Do we get into Howard's death? Lots of possibilities.

I'm sure some are going to show up in the future, especially with the Netflix series coming out. I'm just saying they can't just through a hero in there and call it a day. That's why they do the name-drops to let us know they exist and that if we're patient we will see them soon.

@tparks: woah, woah, woah...Did you just use your words and post a constructive reply, rather than curse at and insult me? On the internet?

Thank you, good sir(or ma'am).

As for my reply:I should have mentioned that(that they USED to be side characters). I have nothing against any of them, in fact, three of them are some of my favorite characters in comics.

Anyway, the only way to distance someone from someone else is to show them away from that character. This show can potentially do that for Agent Carter, and I can't wait!!!

Please, DC owns Marvel with TV, animation and games...don't even. Not even to bash but more of a factual responce to the DC hate going on in here...seriously Marvel fans should not be talking when it comes to TV, games especially lol.

Eh, more shocked about this news I mean how does AOS get another season yet Almost Human doesn't? really? lol

At least I have Flash, Constantine to look forward to. Not sure yet about Preacher and iZombie, but I will wait on...

@vaeternus: How is DC owning marvel in TV? I'll admit DCs winning in animation and video games. But marvel and DC both have one show airing and a bunch more on the way. Also if you're saying it's because arrows better, that's you're opinion, but I'm pretty sure you havnt been watching AoS's newer episodes.

Have you seen the ratings for AOS vs. Arrow? It started off horrible and really only got a bump due to CA 2....it's surprising it got renewed to be honest, considering newer, original shows like Almost Human got canned(which surprised people) yet AOS got renewed? The reviews of both shows was also very different, AH got great reviews where as AOS got average at best.

As for Arrow vs. AOS. Arrow is better, not my opinion it's TV fact if you look at the ratings, reception. Now, my personal view...Personally I like it more then AOS but I don't watch either anymore that much and I think Flash will be better then both honestly. I've watched 6 shows of AOS, when it first started and recently. While it has improved it does not impress me as much as Arrow or Smallville especially did. I'm sure Flash will do well.

And that new marvel show that got announced Agent Carter on IGN's poll was next to last in hype. iZombie was last but to be fair really because nobody knows what the hell iZombie is, if you take actual known DC shows Flash is pretty much destroying everything else in hype.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/09/which-new-comic-book-tv-series-are-you-most-excited-for-gotham-agent-carter-constantine-izombie-the-flash

So yes I will stay with my initial view and say DC>>>>Marvel with TV as well. Not just going by my personal view but by reception, ratings etc.

@vaeternus: umm agent carter is far less known then flash so that not really fair. Also what rating are you talking about? There is no such things as "tv fact" every one is subject to their own opinion. Agents of shield has more then double arrow views. And as far as I can tell a higher rating is better this week arrow had a 0.7 rating with 18-49 year olds, and agents of shield got a a 1.9 rating with 18-49 year olds.

@matthewparker: Well those who saw Avengers, CA and know of AOS, TV show know Agent Carter...but if you want to say that as I said, I don't see why they put iZombie in there since she's even less known.

Talking about general TV ratings, reviews etc. That's what I mean by "TV Facts" you know it's what determines whether or not a show gets renewed or not...

I'm talking overall views Arrow's second season was doing better then AOS and Arrow's first season which was meh at best.

And you're talking one week, I'm talking the entire season...the first month or so AOS did horrible, Arrow did way better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_(TV_series)#U.S._Nielsen_ratings

@vaeternus: Peggy carter wasn't in avengers... You do know agents of shield premiered to an audience of 12.1 million people vs arrows season two premire which had a meager 2.68 million

@MathewParker: I know I didn't say that I said she's known cause of Avengers, CA, AOS etc, but she's an agent and apart of the same group AOS. You do know that your 12.1 is total of the first show and again one episode right? Besides that's one premiere, again I'm talking overall numbers and reception which Arrow clearly does better...and has won more awards and been nominated far more then AOS right?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2193021/awards

You also do know Arrow's ratings as in which show is better had a much better overall reception right? And also was a farcry from Smallville's ratings right?

http://screencrush.com/agents-of-shield-problems/

Metascore-users/viewers gave AOS-6.2

http://www.metacritic.com/tv/marvels-agents-of-shield

Metascore-users/viewers gave Arrow S2- 8.9

http://www.metacritic.com/tv/arrow/season-2

S1 Arrow also scored higher via users/viewers with 8.3

As far as the sites average for both shows, it was 74 AOS to 73 Arrow(which is virtually the same) keep in mind Arrow also had less amount to judge on too vs. AOS which has more voters...

You seem to be judging by "pure popularity" and nothing else I'm going by overall reception, where again Arrow clearly got a better one.

Arrow also received more awards, nominations etc then AOS...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2193021/awards

AOS got 5 nominations and 0 wins/awards...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2364582/awards

I'll requote my previous post so you see what I was talking about...And again, one show means nothing...

There's more to a series then just premiere's ratings, overall reception, overall numbers, awards, nominations, seasons etc. AOS makes it past 3 I'll be shocked....

Example, Avengers is the highest "number" grossing comic book movie of all time...does that mean it's the best? Hell no, most people feel Dark Knight was much better and for good reason.

@MatthewParker...

@vaeternus: Si!!! Agreed!!

DC Show>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Marvel!!!!!! jaja

@vaeternus: you tell me all that stuff awards, season, overall reception, overall viewership, etc doesn't matter then you quote your post with all of that crap you just said didn't matter. Why are you contradicting yourself?

@vaeternus: also you know there are very many people who would argue that avengers is better then the Nolan films. And that's because people have these things called opinions. Just like you thinking arrow is better then agents of shield is an opinion, not a fact.

@matthewparker: I'm not contradicting myself.... are you just ignoring what I say or perhaps not reading everything I post? I said "overall reception" do you not know what this means? Talking everything, not just ratings but general reception by critics, viewers, plot, acting. Meanwhile you're focusing on just "premiere numbers" that means nothing. That's like saying, well opening weekend Amazing Spiderman 2(recent film) did better opening day then Batman Begins, but does that =better movie? Hardly...Infact despite numbers the movie was actually not impressive and mostly CGI then anything else with average story.

Also keep in mind I said "DC shows vs. Marvel shows and games DC is winning vs. Marvel" so seriously? Marvel has two shows, one mediocre at best the other hasn't even started but isn't exactly exciting news given the character...before that what? Hulk from the 70's? pfftt

So even as I said I go back to my original post with DC beating Marvel badly in TV between live shows and cartoons, this is fact. I mean seriously can you honestly tell me any Marvel show has had nearly as much success as Batman Animated, Superman animated, JL or Smallville?

And I said I prefer DC shows to Marvel, I have watched quite a few shows of both Arrow and AOS. Arrow to me is better, simply put but again I'm not exactly obsessed with either. Flash I will watch however every episode.

And I never said my opinion is FACT, again I said while I prefer Arrow to AOS the general reception on here and outside feel Arrow is better overall. Take that as you will. Have you even read this topic? Various users agree with me, you're the only one really arguing about it and that guy who said "AOS>>>>>Arrow" got mocked by a few users already for just saying that which should tell you something.

@patrat18 I agree lol. Honestly, I think the fact that AOS got another season was shocking to a lot of people notice MU aren't that confident in putting out shows on TV otherwise we'd see the netflix exclusives on regular TV. I also think that's dumb because it limits who can watch the shows not everyone has netflix, but everyone has TV.

I'll requote my previous post so you see what I was talking about...And again, one show means nothing...

There's more to a series then just premiere's ratings, overall reception, overall numbers, awards, nominations, seasons etc. AOS makes it past 3 I'll be shocked....

Umm how are you not contradicting your self? you say there's more to show then overall reception, then you say that's what your going by.

Also theres Aos a great show if you had stuck with it, and coming soon are, daredevil, jessica jones, luke cage, iron fist, agent carter, and the defenders.

and people loved such cartoons as Spectacular spiderman, the 90s spiderman show, the Xmen 90s show, and i loved xmen evolution.

@matthewparker: If you think that You obviously have selective reading since I've said nothing contradictory. Yes, coming soon to NETFLIX only....not regular TV. If Marvel was so confident they'd put those shows on regular TV, which clearly they're not. Only show of those definitely going to normal TV is Agent Carter.

The Spiderman show and Xmen were honestly the last good cartoons from marvel that was like 20 years ago dude.

But come on, DC had Batman, Superman, JL, JLU, BB, YJ, GL can go on.

I have even stated in the past with movies Marvel knows their stuff(with their bigger films) but with TV and games, DC has their number.

Who the f*ck cares about Agent Carter that much?

You are guilty of contradicting yourself, and being in denial. also no ones really winning cartoons because all the current cartoons suck, ultimate spiderman, the hulk show, and teen titans go.

@farkam: lol Exactly. Id rather see a ghost rider or punisher show tbh.

@farkam: lol, i think girls that are looking for a strong independent role models, which kinda shuts out men but, ill give it a shot.

@vaeternus: Punisher would make for an epic TV series.

@vaeternus: i love how you didn't respond, because you know i'm right. anyway have a nice rest of your day.

@ matthewparker: First of all, I know youre wrong lol secondly if you really believe that im contradicting in that case youre in denial. Xmen evolution wasnt horrible but wasnt great either. The batman, gl and yj were better.

Cause you appear to have selective reading. Thirdly, if you made one post instead of a million posts it would be easier for others to respond. I Said tv in general since cartoons and live are both on ummm....tv? And no, the cartoons dont all suck, you are dead wrong if you think that....the 90s dc shows were great, jl, bb etc

You have no counterargument for the shows i listed, some of which recent as i thought. I win. Good day.

Enjoy your aos, bet ya anything it doesnt get past 3 maybe 4 seasons thats being generous.

@farkam: I agree, definitely would spark more interest then agent carter.

Agents of SHIELD was awful for quite a while. When we first saw the name Deathlok I got excited and right after the Winter Soldier movie came out it got really good, and has been good since. As for the AoS vs. Arrow discussion. Since AoS got good, whenever I've just watched either show, I think I like it better than the other. However, I have to point out that Arrow has been good from the getgo and keeps getting better and better. Also, once the novelty of AoS being good wears off, I don't see it being as good as Arrow. I am glad it got renewed since it has gotten quite good. I'm not sure about an Agent Carter series though. Like the other show, she's not even a character from the comics. But about these Marvel one-shot shorts, I hadn't heard of them until ComicVine did an article on them a while back. Where do you find them?

@kilowog52: hello! You can find the marvel shorts on MCU movies there like extras. Agent carter is on ironman 3 I think

@kilowog52 said:

Dude, Peggy Carter is definitely from the comics.

Are you going to check out the Flash show? Since that Flash and GA at least will be in the same universe/are :) so looking forward to that.
