New AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Character Spotlight

YouTube's Geek Week gets an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast introduction from series star Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson). Did he just hint that Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) is more dangerous than Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)?



In the latest character spotlight, Chloe Bennet's Skye becomes the center of attention. Joss Whedon's television history shows a tendency to focus on one specific female protagonist and she's a likely contender for that position. Or will it be Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) or Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge)? Again, while all these ladies will get their chance to shine, chances are we'll be focusing in on one of them, which one has piqued your interest the most?

The more I see the more I think it looks very generic and bland.
They shoulda just brought back Alphas.

@Jer it's not that, there's many shows that have had unrevealing trailers but have the content to make me wanna watch.

The characters themselves don't seem engaging, they seem like caricatures and cliches, Ming Na is the only character I can see myself liking.

It's all just first impressions. Ill definitely watch the pilot though.

I agree with Cherry I just can't for the life of me get excited about this show. I'll still watch the pilot and hopefully gain interest, but as of now it's a resounding meh to me.

I don't know why people like Alphas so much.

Every episode made me want to shoot the ADD kid in the face.

There are a lot of themes that this show can explore to bring out the human aspect of the MCU. I'm disappointed in the way they've been treated so far as cannon fodder. If you're not a scientist or in the military or connected to some corporation you're getting blown up. I need a combo of human peril, superheroic saves and regular people uniting behind the heroes and even assisting before I get that true Marvel feel in the MCU.

Alphas was a poor man's Heroes. SHIELD looks great though, I like that they are not showing us everything in these teasers. I hate when shows do that.

Hmmmm, I think Coulson is going to be the closest we're getting to 616 Nick Fury. I'm down with that.

I kind of wish we'd see more stuff, rather than be told about it. I like the Skye spotlight though.

I'd rather they'd done Agents of Atlas. Or ANYTHING with actual Marvel characters! Clay Quatermain! Daisy Johnson! Dum Dum Duggan!

If I were running this show, the lineup would include Rick Jones, Sharon Carter, Clay Quartermain, Carol Danvers, Jimmy Woo, and Misty Knight. And Henry Peter Gyrich would act as an antagonistic bureaucrat.

Then I'd promo guest spots from Jim Hammond, Amadeus Cho, Molly Hayes, Colleen Wing, Brunhilda, Elsa Bloodstone, Daimon Hellstrom, Jack Russell, Leonard Samson, Jennifer Kale, and Scott Lang.

Surely if they think they can succeed with new characters, they could succeed just as well with existing ones!
