ABC has given the pilot order to MARVEL'S MOST WANTED, a spin-off of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. centered on Bobbi Morse, also known as "Mockingbird", and her ex-husband, Lance Hunter. Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood are confirmed to reprise their roles as Morse and Hunter.

why
Unnecessary, but I guess Marvel doesn't want to stay behind of DC when it comes to superhero shows and their spin-offs.
The show literally nobody asked for
I thought this was already announced
I guess it's their way of having Marvel shows run all year round. Agents of SHIELD for Fall and Spring, Agent Carter for Winter, this shwo for Summer.
>tfw wasting the Thunderbolts in this show
But, what will it be about?
>>78838783
it's a slice of life show about what happens in the calmer moments between secret missions and stuff
>Let's take an already weak show and take away it's two best main characters
>>78839149
this tbqh familia
Hunter is the worst character in Agents of SHIELD, why the fuck would I want to watch a show where he is the star?
>>78838546
I honestly hate both of these characters and now I don't have to watch them for a couple of months until their show is canceled and they waddle back into AoS.
>yfw that kills Agents of SHIT
>>78838546
>>78838584
>>78838640
It's theLEAST WANTEDshow.
>>78839352
Hunter is not so bad, but he is only good when being a goofy moron in the middle of everyone else being so serious now.
>AoSHIT gets terrible ratings
>lets make a spinoff that is exactly the same
Loeb needs to be fired.
>>78840409
Does it get terrible ratings, though?
>>78838783
Given it's titled "Marvel's Most Wanted", I imagine they'll be wanted for some shit.
>>78840569
For a big network like ABC in primetime, yes.
>>78840601
>>78840569
Yeah but it sells pretty good for foreign channels/streaming.
Some shows and channels now are starting to justify bad nielsen ratings by measuring social media response either the day or the sam day after, and for all its faults, SHIELD generally blows up on twitter every night it's on (mostly because of the cast interacting).
They will have to pull some C-listers to be casual icons for it to fly..
>>78838546
>mockingbird get a comic for first time
>mockingbird get a tv show
Both will be Literally like the last volume of black widow but with quips
I hope they don't get cut out of regular AoS cast completely.
Hunter knocking the soldier guy out to take a blood sample was great as well as the banter in the monitor van. I wish the show was more of that and less plans within plans within HYDRA.
>>78840746
maybe that's why they call her Mockingbird; because she mocks people
>>78838546
But I don't want Limey Ward to leave AoS. He's a fucking delight. Or Mockingtits either
>>78839363
hating Agent Mockingtits wha?!
>I'll take shows cancelled after one episode for $200, Alex
>>78838546
I thought Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was getting canceled though.
>>78838640
>>78839352
>>78839363
>>78840836
>>78840887
I hope it gets picked up, because if it doesn't, they'll get the shitty canceled story and put it in AoS, and it's treading a fine line as it is.
>>78840911
Bitch can't act, she's taller than literally everyone but Mac which makes all of her fight scenes really awkward to watch because stunt doubles are obvious and I don't like the odd moment when my eyes trail up from her tits to her ugo neanderthal face.
In a surprise twist that I wouldn't believe if you told me 3 years ago, Daisy is the best girl on the show.
>mfw Marvelfags get this while DCbros get based Legends of Tomorrow
>>78838546
Hunter and Bobbi work as part of a larger team and both shows will suffer because of that
Good. They can flesh out characters like Joey on AoS and get Bobbi and Hunter more time. They barely appeared this mid-season.
And kill Lincoln!!
>>78838696
Plus Damage Control. And John Ridley's project.
And that doesn't even cover Netlfix.
>>78841519
>Legends of Tomorrow
kek
>recycled characters the show
the only decent DC anything keeps being and will be The Flash
I wanted to like Vixen but it was shite
>>78841519
At least Marvelfags still get Defenders.
But yeah, LoT looks good from what I've seen so far.
>>78841659
Arrow Season 4 is back to Season 1 okayness.
Still no Season 2.
>>78840397
It's the usual problem of stupid execs seeing how people like the comedic relief character and then deciding focusing entirely on them would be great when the whole reason people like them is because its in small doses.
But they're both boring.
>>78840661
There's also the fact that Disney fucking OWNS ABC and is just using them to shove more marvel crap down everyone's throat.
AoS shield is effectively a very expensive advertisement. Won't be long before the current plotline gets dropped and they start going hard on building up to civil war plot.
>>78841659
Gotham and iZombie are both good.
>>78839352
Hunter is best spin off Ward
>>78841026
You thought wrong.
>>78839149
But Ward is still in AoS, famiglia.
>>78841588
>John Ridley's project
Still the biggest question mark of a show. What the fuck is the 12 Years A Slave and American Crime guy going to be doing in the MCU?
>>78842258
No, at this point he's now Mike possessed by the Wendigo instead of Josh.
>>78842270
its She-Hulk
>>78842309
It all depends on how good a character Inhuman Death God Ward will be. I will miss crazy asshole Ward, though.
I can't.
I fucking can't do this shit any more.
There is no way I can stay this committed to the MCU. I'm abandoning ship on this one.
>>78843295
This does seem like a weird decision. If they're taking them out of AoS, then that's a bummer cause I liked their interactions with the other cast members. If they're not taking them out and this is just a solo side-story thing, then it's just going to feel like AoS-lite. The HunterxMockingbird scenes were my least favorite for both characters.
It's like making a show out of the scenes of AoS that I didn't like. Why? I'd rather have a Deathlok show.
>>78843295
This is where you abandon? I stopped watching their movies after Thor 1. Daredevil is the only thing of quality they produce.
>>78838546
>Not including Blaxeman
>>78838584
>why
>>78838622
>Unnecessary, but
Because John Ridley's project still hasn't picked a focus subject, let alone a draft script. He's way past the deadline to get a pilot shot and approved for schedule Summer 2016 or Fall '16/Spring '17.
This is also why Damage Control was approved for a pilot because the scripts could be written and shot in time for one of these future slots.
>>78843457
It's a Summer/Winter slot series like Agent Carter, not a full run show like AoS.
>caring about ABC MCU
why even bother?
>>78838546
aweesome! i love them. bobbi is a badass and hunter is so perfect <3
>>78838546
And here I am, still hoping for a Damage Control show.
>>78848327
Nigga you ain't foolin' nobody.
>>78838546
>,a spin-off of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. centered on Bobbi Morse, also known as "Mockingbird", and her ex-husband, Lance Hunter
>>78843295
I-I'm holding on. I'm not sure how much longer I can take this, but I'm finishing what I started. I will see every live-action MCU project until Infinity War pt. 2.
Then, I will probably kill myself.
Look, I ain't that mad, but I feel like this is another outlet to blow through Marvel villains.
>a spin-off of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. centered on Bobbi Morse, also known as "Mockingbird"
Literal shit.
>>People were not expecting this shit.
TV has barely any budget, and superheroes usually ask for a lot of it. Why the hell do you think we're stuck with shit like this?
>>78849604
bobbi haters pls go
>>78843136
Don't toy with me.
>>78851925
I have insider info anon its Shulkie
>>78841026
I take it you don't read TV Grim Reaper. If a show directly produced by a network has 66 episodes by the end of its third season, a fourth season is guaranteed to give the show enough episodes to enter syndication.
The moment Agents of Shield was renewed for a third season, it was also unofficially renewed for a fourth. Same will happen when The Flash is renewed for a third season.
>>78838696
>implying carter gets a third season
>Watching a show with some replacement Hawkeye
Fuck Lance.
>yfw Lance gets killed in the finale and Hawkeye joins the show
>>78838546
''MOST WANTED'' sounds so cliche and not cool at all. I really wish they'd change the name, but yeah, other than that, I guess I'm excited. I like Bobbi and Hunter.
GUYS off-topic.
But, What should i watch tonight that is a cartoon?
>>78841519
yeah but DCbros have Felicity no one should have to deal with that
I wanna see the Great Lakes Avengers in a 1/2hr sitcom comedy
>>78838546
But
Why?
>>78838768
>>78840573
>>78853836
>>78838546
>"alright guys, I have an idea"
>"let's make a show out of a comic book superhero universe"
>"and make it have nothing to do with superheroes!"
I will never fucking understand this. Just why? I could kind of understand Agents of Shield, it was kind of a "behind the scenes" look between Marvel movies since the events were connected. At this point, the shows have nothing to do with the movies anymore. They'll just pull some random bullshit on the last episode to make it link with Civil War, like they did with Avengers.
But aside from that, why now just choose a minor superhero and make a show about them so you have something fucking new? If it has to be a spin-off, why not just introduce a hero on AoS, then push them into a spin-off show after. Just something other than the same thing we've already been watching for the past few years
>>78855595
You cant use vigilantes, that is netfilx ground.
You cant use minor superheroes with metahumans abilities most of them are mutants/inhumans, of course the are exceptions like characters that gained their power because of the supersoldier serum.
Wasn't this idea canned? Not that I mind seeing more of Adrianne
>>78840371
Fuck you Carlos
>>78854871
It would be cool if it was actually a Thunderbolts series
I don't even give a shit about which villains will be picked, as long as they're not dead at the end of the season
>>78853884
The Hobbit
>>78839352
Bobbi is the worst.
>>78856033
cagebolts a best though, for the record
>>78854871
Man, I wish.
We all know Screaming Mimi and Beetle are going to be in the movies approximately never, so imagine if Marvel started seeding AoS with B-list villains, like Flash does with his Rogues - introduce them all, have a few re-appear, have partial occasional team-ups (like Cal's Retard Legion, only not lame), and then next year have them show up in AoS in a back-door pilot as the Thunderbolts.
End of the episode, you reveal the T-Bolts are just the villains with different costumes.
Imagine how much it would blow everyone's minds.
Then, you could have a Thunderbolts show, which is what we all want.
I like Mockingtits and Limey Ward, but not enough to watch a show centered around them. They're good as part of the group dynamic, that's about it.
>A spin off for a show nobody asked for that was already a spin off on its own
How deep are we getting?
>>78838546
Didn't they try this last year and it got shut down? Like I legit thought last year the pilot got the green light and then someone was like, "Whoa, wait, what are we do? Shut it down. This is silly."
>>78858795
No, it happened, but they changed their minds again.
So, which villain are they gonna waste on this show? Cause it seems like we'll get to the point where Marvel truly runs out of villains to use and we get stuff like the White Rabbit and Ruby Tuesday.
>>78856951
>>78856951
They could reuse some characters they already have (although they would need to introduce some more anyway, especially since there are no fitting women yet).
Daniel Whitehall – Kraken (instead of Zemo/Citizen V)
Carl Creel – Lightningbolt
Marco Scarlotti – Blacklash
David Angar – Scream (or Voice)
Donnie Gill - Blizzard
Wendell Levi – Ghost
And I know they’re not going to involve anything Netflix, but if they would:
Melvin Potter - Gladiator
Will Simpson - Scourge
Len Sirkes – Lone Shark
>>78843295
Eh, I stuck with watching AoS for a while because I enjoyed the MCU movies so much, but that didn't last long.
I look at it like Star Wars now, the movies (even the bad ones, and they ARE bad) are decent enough fun, but goddamn if I'll be autistic enough to bother to read any of those "canon" EU books and comics (and yes I realize 90% is officially non-canon now, which is meaningless to me because in my eyes it was always fan fiction)
I'll keep watching the movies and the Netflix shows, but that's it.
>>78842270
Isn't it obvious?Seriously though, I'd be so down for a miniseries about the Bradley family
>>78858944
didn't agents of shiled used Enchantress cousin or something as a big pay off on an episode?
they already ran out of ideas
