User blog comment:Spencerz/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. renewed, Agent Carter greeenlit by ABC/@comment-8284722-20140509142001

I'm really surprised this is happening.

First off, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is already shaping up to be so conclusive. Agent Ward went evil and will probably die in the season finale, Fitz and Simmons are probably dead themselves as seen in the most recent episode, and I don't even know what to say about May and Skye. We all know Coulson's going to live, but now that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gone and the rest of the main cast probably won't return, what can one do new in the series? The only way I see it working is if they add a lot of superheroes, which will keep me through the whole series. Unfortunately, the creators don't seem to want superheroes in the series. Deathlok was a nice addition, but they completely changed everything about him. The "Peterson" part of his name could easily be retconned to be a false identity or something, but then again his origin was completely changed. And Victoria Hand and Skye are the only other two characters, hero or otherwise, that got a counterpart in the series. For crying out loud, we NEED more superheroes in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!!!! I could think of SO many heroes who could possibly be in the series. Black Panther, Punisher, Power Pack, Blade, Ghost Rider, Cloak and Dagger, a return for Winter Soldier.... the list goes on and on. For crying out loud, if what Ashrod said is true, SPIDER-MAN CAN GET A COUNTERPART ON TELEVISION (even if he can't get to the silver screen quite yet)!!!!!!!!

As for Agent Carter, is there really a point for the series? The one-shot was nice, but it wasn't really TV spin-off material. And I have no idea what any of the plotlines would be in the episodes. The only thing that will really interest me in the series is if they added various 1950s superheroes like Jim Hammond or 3-D Man. Outside of that, Hayley Atwell is not really the material needed to be the next Veronica Mars. And we all know that she's going to survive through the whole series and end up with tragic elderly years. We all saw this in The Winter Soldier.

Don't get me wrong; I'm excited for both. I just don't know how they're going to work with what has already been done.
