Sif Heading to 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

The Asgardian is set to appear on the ABC show.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to have another cameo! Marvel has announced Sif (Jamie Alexander) will travel to Midgard and appear in one of the show's upcoming episodes. As for why the Asgardian warrior is taking a trip to Earth, Marvel says it's for a "very specific mission."

No Caption Provided

Sif hasn't received much focus in the two Thor movies, so here's hoping she has an extended role and it's not just a relatively brief cameo. If you've fallen behind on the show, does her upcoming appearance make you want to tune in? New episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. air Tuesdays on ABC.

In my opinion, the show is still massively weak compared to a show like Arrow, at the moment DC are simply trumping MAOS ten fold, no number of cameos can reverse that.

Quality aside, SHIELD's ratings are roughly double Arrow's ratings this season. Such is the nature of network TV...

Sounds like a good move but they do in fact need to add more superheroes to the show... feels a little lacking to me.

ABC is also a much bigger network than CW.

Plus look at the ratings: AoS premeired at 12~ mil and has since dropped to 6~

Arrow premiered at 2.74 and I think the midseason finale was like at 3.2~

I can't wait for it. I'm a fan of the show, I'm a fan of Sif... sounds good to me.

And to all people who comparing AoS with Arrow... guys, Arrow is a show about a hero, AoS is a show about Agents. What were your thinking? Superpowered enemies for every single episode?

Meh i dont think these gimmick would help.

I think the show should just take a hard look at itself and realize its a comic book based show, or at least thats what a lot of viewer want. Holding back on weird stuffs isnt helping, get some real villians in.

You mean like how Arrow did with the shrapnel?

And I doubt this would make the show better.It would still be one of the most boring TV Shows currently airing.

I actually quite enjoy the show, I'll definitely be watching this episode when it comes out. I always see comments about how Arrow is better, but it's not exactly that great a show in my opinion.

His brother Jed and his Wife are the head writers for AoS. The Whedon writing team since like 2007 or so. They have pretty much been a core part of every Whedon thing since Dr. Horrible (including Avengers and Much Ado).

I think Avengers are "Whedon" only,right?!...

@punyparker: Have you ever actually watched Whedon shows? With the exception of Firefly(Oh glorious Firefly....sigh.), all Whedon shows have had mediocre first seasons. Buffy. Angel. Dollhouse especially. In fact compared to the first seasons of any of those shows Agents is actually pretty good. It's always in the second season where Whedon shows really find their feet and take off running. Assuming all the fan-wangst doesn't kill Agents before it gets that far, it's gonna be awesome given more time.

I really don't get all the hate for this show. It isn't ground breaking by any stretch of the imagination but it's a fun little show that adds to the Marvel Universe, or were people just expecting "This week Iron Man, next week Captain America, ect."?

Would that "Very specific mission" be to save this train wreck of a show?

Not even the Celestials could save this crappy show.

Buffy-Firefly.

*cough*Arrow*cough*

As i was informed Whedon has little to do with it,so i doubt it gets better BECAUSE of him.
And they'll continue to say it's AWESOME and that everybody on the planet watches it,cuz Dysney-Marvel,nowadays is very protective about their work.
Like Ultimate Spider-man......everybody were/are bashing it,and it gets a 3rd season.
So no,it won't be "smothered" by the fans......because they dont care.

And btw,the majority says that the show is the epitomy of mediocricy,and the majority is right......why only me,man?

I feel like Shield is a big letdown and adding sif for continuity purposes won't work.

I can take the Agents of SHIELD criticism but the comparisons to Arrow? Honestly, Arrow is a show with a lead actor who should thank his lucky stars for the distraction that is his good looks in lieu of talent, a barrage of model-turned-actormodels, soap operatic and overwritten dialogue, and it's rife with cliches. It's not as bad or as goofy as Smallville was but it's not good. I'll say this, at least Agents of SHIELD doesn't profess to be anywhere near as serious as Arrow does, it's a much more self-aware show. Could be better but I would say your judgment is questionable if you're trying to push the doltish Arrow on me while making that point.

And, also, sry ABC can't lockdown RDJr or Chris Evans or Scarlett Johansson...they're kinda making the movies you're all amped about now.

"The show blows,quick,lets shove in characters from the movies,maybe something will happen!!" ......................... This is a Whedon show!!.....how come it is so mediocre!?

Because it is a Whedon show? He got lucky with BUffy/Angel. Ever stop to think there was a reason Firefly didnt even get to air all of its episodes? Or that he was lucky to get a second season to Dollhouse? He may have good ideas, but he is like George Lucas. Someone else needs to take his good ideas & make a great product.

I watched the first 9 episodes. Even if Hulu still had the new episodes up, I doubt I'd watch them. & Sif? Not only does this sound like "we forget that this show is supposed to tie in with the movies" but we also need the Hot piece of Asgardian fanservice to boost ratings.

Arrow is hitting everything so far, my only complaint is Laurel being there & ruining Black Canary, I'd rather SHIELD get canceled, & Coulson moved over to the Netflix-Verse of shows.

But ok, trying to compare it with something else, AOS is at least slightly better than the first halfs of Once Upon a time & OUAT in Wonderland. So, its got that, right?

Honestly, I dont want Iron Man in Avengers2. & Hawkeye & BW havent done much of anything at all yet. It has nothing to do with it airing after Avengers came out, the show is not that good. On it own, it would be canceled. As a tie in, there is enough material between SHIELD & Avengers in the decades of comics that they could tell good episodes. 9 episodes of nothing. They are litterally leaching of the success of the films & giving nothing in return. In fact, they've only made me dislike Coulson a bit, because now I think of this trainreck failure of a show.

& its only being compared to Arrow until Netflix starts airing their shows.

AOS is just bad television. Both on its own, AND as part of something bigger.

Don't be too hursh,sure he has luck,but he's a tremendously talented writer.

I watched the first 2 eps and the referances to the Avengers Universe,were mount-high.....it bothered me a tad.But it wasn't the reason i stopped watching.

Im in the second ep of Season 2 ,so i don't know what's Canary's deal (It's Dinah,there right?...or they changed the name too?) ,but Laurel is a dumb b!tch.......im really sorry to say it,but i started feeling that way since the second half of season 1,and the hatred emerged with every episode......i trully despise this woman.

And as you see from my comments,i am a massive Arrow fan,and obviously i agree with you that the show is awesome.....i saw Hawkeye in the Avengers and said "Damn.....THIS guy is getting all the attention,while Ollie -who's a hundred times better- is sitting there sharpenning his arrows.....it's a shame..." and then BOOM....DC made it happen.

That would be great......(with the hope the shows are accually good......i really want a good DD live action adaptation).....@daredevil21134 fingers crossed,right?!!
