Agent Carter >> Getting hit by a car >> Agents of Shield

Post by badfo »

Reasons:

1. Better actors.
2. Carter is an actual character instead of some weird hacker Mary Sue like Skye.
3. It's actually funny at times.
4. Cast is much smaller which allows for better characterization. I almost know some of their names.
5. Less episodes = less fluff.
6. No Ward.
7. Less awkward TV special effects
8. Manages to ground the story in real issues of the time (sexism, coming back to society after the war, etc) instead of just being a purposeless movie tie-in that doesn't deal with anything past a superficial level.
9. Has a purpose when it kills people off instead of just doing it for no reason.
10. No Phil Coulson ruining a perfectly fine supporting character from the movies.
11. No Tyra / Wonder Woman trying to be an actor.
12. The Balkan war criminal from Community is a cast member.
13. The HIMYM daughter.
14. The shoe-horned romance storyline has a much smaller presence and is actually subverted in a way.
15. It actually calls out shitty detectives when they are being shitty detectives instead of plotting over it.

Things I hate:
1. Chad Michael Murray

Agent carter is good. Shield though man. I tried to watch a more recent episode a couple of weeks ago and man. Just. So. Bad. I'm not buying into this improved show business. It's a giant collection of the attractive but bland. I'd rather watch White Collar.

like 5 of the 30ish Shield episodes are watchable. It's a cast of Jon Snows. Skye and Ward are the worst.

I watched one episode of Shield, couldn't stand it because of Skye.
Fuck you, Skye.
