Agents Of SHIELD Shoved To Fridays Next Fall

Agents Of SHIELD Shoved To Fridays Next Fall

, , , 0

It’s been a bumpy few years, but as of Season 4, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD has finally become compelling, must-watch television. So naturally ABC picked this time to bury it on Friday evenings at 9 PM. We should be happy we get a Season 5 at all, but this makes us uneasy. Adding insult to injury is the fact that it’s FOLLOWING Once Upon A Time at 8, which if you didn’t know, just had two-thirds of its main cast leave. There is barely any life left in it now, and the odds of this zombie show helping, rather than hindering, SHIELD’s chances of viewership are low. ABC has ordered 22 episodes of SHIELD for the 2017.2018 season and eight episodes of The Inhumans, the other Marvel series we previously mentioned. The Inhumans will air its episodes first, in the same time slot, and then SHIELD will take it from there. It’s very strange that ABC would go to the expense of creating an IMAX release for the first two

The recent episode of Agents of SHIELD ended the first part of the LMD storyline. At the end, the show threw out twist after twist. Daisy and Simmons entered the world of the Framework. Doing so, we saw just what world Radcliffe and Aida had made. In it, Daisy and Ward are together, Simmons is dead, Fitz appears to be rich, Mac has his family back, Coulson is a teacher, and HYDRA rules the world, and May is one of their agents. That’s a lot to process, so IGN talked with Showrunner Jed Whedon about what inspired them to make the Framework this way, and why they brought HYDRA back. Whedon stated: “It’s more that we’re exploring “what if” scenarios with our characters. We wanted to show that this world was not what was intended, and what really symbolizes the opposite of SHIELD or the ultimate evil in our world is Hydra. It’s more about our people than it is about the organization itself this time around. No better villain in SHIELD than

There Was a Helicarrier in Deadpool

At the end of the Deadpool film, there were two major things going on. First, Deadpool teamed up with Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead to take on Ajax and Angel Dust, along with their cronies. But for eagle-eyed fans, many noticed that the final climatic battle took place on what looked very much like a SHIELD Helicarrier. Now, it didn’t fly, and it didn’t have SHIELD logos, but the overall shape (even with its deconstruction) made many fans think that this was a massive Easter Egg. Well, in an interview with i09, the concept artist behind Deadpool confirmed that it was indeed a Helicarrier. “[I] was asked to redesign the helicarrier so it looked as different as possible from the one in The Avengers,” concept artist Emmanuel Shiu said. “And it had to look like it had been taken apart in some places.” This was but one of the numerous Easter eggs of the film, many of which are still being discovered now. It’s elements like this that has made Deadpool a

The Cracks in “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD”

Well first off, the title alone is a crack, but we’ll get to that in a bit. “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” had a lot of hype in both mainstream and geek-oriented media following the pilot’s premiere at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con. How could it not? It was not only a Marvel TV series, but an hour that tied directly into the MCU. Joss Whedon was attached and he directed the first episode personally. The storyline was an epilogue to “Iron Man 3”. It had lots of fun references that the audience enjoyed. And then the show debuted. And the ratings have fallen since the exceptional debut numbers considering it’s up against the titan otherwise known as  NCIS. The low point was a 2.2 in the 18-49 demographic following episode 7, “The Hub”, along  with 6.63 million total viewers. The ratings have slowly gone up since then. But what could be causing the viewers to hemorrhage since the show premieres? And what would give viewers the opportunity to see more?
