W E L C O M E T O L E V E L 7!! !!

You know, I'm more of a DC fan, but this is giving me geekgasms.

This exists but we can't get a Gotham Central show...

Looks like Marvel's come up with a clever way to introduce more characters from their IP without having to risk movie-style money on them. (I suspect the gent in the hoodie is going to turn out to be Luke Cage, for instance.)

I approve. (And I'm sure they've all been sitting on the edge of their collective seat, awaiting my personal approval... )

Agent Coulson {Clark Gregg from The Avengers} will likely have to be cloned in order to bring him back to life.

I do have high hopes for the S-H-I-E-L-D spin-off, that it will be a good show and NOT a Men In Black rip-off.

If Time/Warner/DC was smart, they'd use their network to introduce characters for a JLA movie...

They have all the same tools and resources that Disney/Marvel/ABC has. Maybe they will watch and learn how to use them.

Gotham Central would be a good show, and a way to reintroduce a more JLA friendly Batman but keep him in the background.

The speculation I've heard is that Nick Fury faked Coulson's death to motivate/unite/manipulate the Avengers.

I might need to go back and watch the movie again to see if that works... Chores, chores... a geeks work is never done.

It is possible.
He got stabbed in the lower region of his upper body, so no heart or lung. The last time you see him is when he shoots Loki through the wall.

As much as I like Coulson, it's kind of sad that comic book adaptations are now falling victim to one of the worst aspects of comic books themselves: bending over backwards to come up with cockamamie explanations for why characters who were killed are alive again. Comic book movies typically avoid this type of crap and kill people off for good, moving on to other characters and letting the deceased wait for the inevitable reboot to be portrayed again.

Also, there is the possibility that Cobie Smulders {Agent Maria Hill} might make appearances on the show and may become a regular once that crap show known as How I Met Your Mother ends next season.

Well, I know what I'm going to be doing on Tuesday nights.

I didn't even know this was a thing. That's awesome! Any word on whether Samuel L Jackson will be in it at all?

I think this'll be the case. Whedon is kinda known for killing off likeable characters.

Very true but he doesn't usually bring them back. I think the reason Phil's back is because people already know him and it'll help make the show feel more connected to The Avengers. I'd say that anyone else who may die in this show wouldn't be coming back.

I suspect they will keep Nick Fury in the social media. AKA texting, calling, e-mailing people in the show. Perhaps a rare guest starring. That way they can keep a keystone character for Shield, and not have to pay Samuel L Jackson an obscene paycheck for every episode. Just my theory.

Does anyone know what date the show will primere?

Loved this trailer, and I'm a big Whedon fan, so I'm pretty excited.
