Marvel clearly is looking to get into the TV show business. It provides a cheaper, faster way to get more of their properties into the universe. I’m here to talk about who they should produce and when.
2014 Agents of Shield
By the looks of it, Marvel won’t be making a second show any time soon. It would seem a tad rushed as well to just keep adding more TV shows right off the bat, however you have to add to this show. Agents of Shield season two has to add some more characters, give us mockingbird. We get a superhero, maybe an extra agent or two. But I don’t see these 6 agents carrying the show to far. We need a little more flare going forward
2015 Agents of Shield and Heroes for Hire
Now its time to bring out the team that probably the most perfect for TV. Heroes for Hire. Luke Cage and the Iron Fist origins and starting out, taking down some evil, but don’t quite team up with anyone yet. Just have them together for a while.
Agents of Shield can add Spider Woman in my opinion, and maybe another hero. Deathlok maybe, but either way they should add super powers to the show by season 3.
2016 Agents of Shield, Heroes for Hire, Moon Knight
Agents of Shield should wrap up in season 4. We will have seen enough of them by now, in my opinion it would be time to finish this thing up, and leave the door open for what super heroes they add (In my opinion they should have Mockingbird, Spider-Woman by now. Also Falcon should become a TV regular. Think about it, Anthony Mackie isn’t a super popular Actor. Why not have him reprise his role in as a Shield Agent (Which he is) in the TV show?
Heroes for Hire should stay as Iron fist and Power Man. However maybe try and get Black Widow to show up and help them with an Episode or 2. But keep the focus on the main 2 throughout the first 2 seasons.
Moon Knight should get his origins story. Also he shouldn’t be put on ABC. Give him a tv station were he can be a tad darker. Don’t make it a love fest though. Keep him how he is.
2017. 2018. Heroes for Hire, Moon Knight, Punisher
By now the Heroes for Hire should pick up a few friends. Spider-Woman and Falcon are my favorites but who knows. They should start expanding their team out beyond the main core of heroes.
Moon Knight should get 2 more seasons on his own. Few cameos maybe but he has plenty of interest to himself to carry a solid amount of seasons.
The Punisher should show up on HBO and just kill people… seriously though, there are plenty of tv shows that are a lot like what the punisher does. Just a rough and tough guy, only thing is Punisher will have the help of the MCU to keep him even more interesting and watchable.
2019. Heroes for Hire, Punisher
Moon Knight should join the Heroes for Hire for their final season. The punisher can keep doing his thing. That’s about all I got.
After this, I have a few ideas as far as more TV shows go.
1. Continue Heroes for Hire, however I don’t see this show going to 7+ Years
2. Daredevil and Electra. Daredevil though should be on the Big screen in my opinion
3. Punisher. If its doing well, keep it going
4. Jessica Jones. Personally don’t really like the idea, but lots of people have been talking about it so whatever. Not a terrible Idea, but I feel there are a lot of better characters they can make.
5. Agent Carter. Agents carter in my opinion is kind of a wast of a tv show. I mean can it be good? YES! But the thing is, with the plethora of character to choose from for TV shows, why use the old love of Captain America, who was already done perfectly in the movie?
6. Union Jack and the howling commandos. Union Jack didn’t get a lot of attention in Captain America, so why not show him more instead of Agent Carter?
7. Captain Britain. Probably not anyone’s first choice to have in future movies. So why not make a TV show?
8. Blade. We have already seen a trilogy of him, so seeing any more than 1 movie is slim in the MCU. However he does fit a TV show pretty well, so a couple seasons of the vampire hunter wouldn’t hurt. Also could show the Nightstalkers a lot more.
In closing I’ll say I think the TV universe should stick to more grounded characters. The problem with TV is you don’t get the grand CGI or special affects that you get in a movie. So characters like Iron Man, Dr. Strange or what not don’t have the affect they normally have. That’s why I like the Team show of Heroes for hire, or vigilantes like Moon Knight and Daredevil. Vigilantes are probably going to get the slip, so getting a few of them on HBO, CW, ABC or other networks will help the universe grow. Either way TV is one of the better ways to show character that we may not be able to see fit into future Avengers or solo movies.
