Agents of Shield spin-off in development, says executive producer and writer of the show

[Zontar]

executive producer Jeffrey Bell and writer Paul Zybyszewski are "quietly working on the spinoff," of Agents of Shield, says a lot of tabloids that are hungry for news that, let's face it, me linking to one in particular would be a waste if you typically read another so just Google it and pick the one you typically read for this type of news.

The rumours seem to relate on the series involving one or more of the characters from the series, though it seems odd that such a statement (which they probably know would start rumours) would be made before an affirmation on weather of not AoS managed to get a third season or not. It seems to point to a third season being likely, as a spin-off of a series which only lasted two seasons would be odd, but it could go either way.

So what to you guys think of that? Me, I hope it means a third season of AoS will be made, as the second season has been one of the best things on television, and the second half of the first was pretty good too. The spin-off could be a fair number of things: another group of agents going out into the world, could be a series about the Inhumans, or Skye going solo, or Deathlock getting his own series. I'd watch any of those things. It could also be Mockingbird getting her own show, though I'd rather she stay on the team. And it could also be...

Spoiler: statement based on current development of the show at the time of writing

Adama's (yes, I'm calling him that, he's the commander of and aircraft carrier, he's Adama) faction getting their own series in which they handle things. Seems an unlikely outcome in my mind, but quite possible.

I might be becoming a cranky old man, but does anyone else feel like they're REALLY overdoing it with this Marvel stuff now? That's three TV shows, four Netflix series, and a fuck ton of movies in the works. I'm worried that this'll lead to serious Marvel burnout.

Deathlock getting his own series? The guy whose costume pretty much amounts to a laser tag vest?

He's not that bad, he had a sympathetic origin and a decent power set for a television series.

I'm not as worried. Marvel's properties have managed to have one thing going for them most other franchises don't: each entry has a different verity, usually from a completely different genre of what came before it. Just looking at Phase Two, you have an action dramedy, a fantasy story, a spy political thriller and a space adventure comedy on the big screen, and a spy adventure, action period piece and action drama on the small screen. So long as it can manage to be distinct enough to be its own property that works in a vacuum, and doesn't have watching the other series as being required for viewing (a few references doesn't have much effect on the plot) then it should work out.

It's actually DC which has an issue to deal with, what with everything that except The Flash having the same feel to it all.

I have a feeling it will be an Inhumans show, that allows for the introduction of lots of powered people, as well as setup for the MCH equivalent of mutants, since they don't actually have the rights to use the word "mutant".

A spin-off of a spin-off? I'd make an Inception joke but I feel those have been done to death. My friends have been berating me to watch Agents of Shield but I am just not interested in it. If I force myself to watch it I know I will end up hating it.

Possible, but given the Inhumans movie in the works I'd bet against that, at least the Inhumans as a whole. A groupe of them, maybe, but I don't think they want to have the movie and television parts of the studio stepping on each others toes too much.

If you do ever choose to get into it, I should warn you the first half of season 1 is pretty boring compared to the rest of the series. Though if you liked The Winter Soldier you can skip to "Turn Turn Turn" since that's the one which starts the Uprising arc.

Ditto, i'm already kind of burnt out on superhero stuff. Its kind of why I'm more psyched for starwars than anything else this year, and I'm not a bit star wars fan. Its just something different from superheros.

Pass. I am glad that people enjoy the show but the main reason I stopped watching was not the plot but the characters. With the exception of Coulson I found them all boring and unlikable so I doubt I will enjoy a spinoff involving any of them. But then as much as I love the MCU I don't think I was the target audience. I have no interest in a show about normal (spys are not exactly normaly I know) peope in a world with superheros, I want to see the superheroes.

That's the problem that i have with most shows. Buffy season 2 killed Buffy for me. All the complaining she did ruined it for me. I know that seems like a petty reason but if characters start moping for more than one or two episodes I tend to get disinterested really fast. I don't mind talking. I love the dialogue and politics in Game of Thrones I just dislike it when characters get personal or emotional. For me it slows the show down to a crawl.

I can understand that, personally I can't make myself watch Game of Thrones or Braking Bad because I can't get myself to care for the characters enough to keep watching.

To each his own, which is probably a good thing in this day and age because there always seems to be something for everyone thanks to the internet.

I agree with the over-saturation. But it's only going to get worse from here.

Too late for me. I am feeling the comic book fatigue looming in. After 2016 with 7 comic book movies coming out and more TV shows from DC and Marvel coming, I think I might have to go rehab because I will get burnt out and annoyed.

I have to disagree, over-saturation happens when too much of the same thing hits the market in too short of a time and thus turns the consumers away from them, but Marvel's work isn't all the same. Almost all its movies have been of a different genre, with widely different tones and styles, and its series so far have been an ever changing spy-thriller, a 40s period piece procedural miniseries and a dark crime series. So long as the works can remain different enough in their genre, it should be able to work, and hey if it doesn't on the small screen it's not as though China and Europe can't guaranteed the big screen won't continue (though I doubt Netflix will want to get rid of the guaranteed market it gets from original content, so I wouldn't be surprised at more Marvel Netflix series after The Defenders, either through new seasons of the 4 characters, or new characters all together).

Cosmetic differences aside, the movies all feel alike. They all have that jokey tone of "yeah but no I mean whatever" to a lesser or greater degree. Everybody is sarcastic, everybody is a smartass and everybody kinda sounds like Buffy because they say one thing and then they say another with a slight inflection towards the end? Guardians of the Galaxy is basically Avengers, because characters and plot and learning the power of friendship? I'm not saying they're not entertaining, but it's all more or less the same thing, and it's hard to get invested in something whose primary concern is staying on holding pattern. The MCU is basically the biggest, most expensive TV show to ever screen on theaters.

So, we're getting a spin-off OF a spin-off? Meh, I'll pass thanks. I liked the avengers movies but never really got into the Agents of Shield tv show. I dont think ill bother with the new one.

 

[Evonisia]

And to think there was a two year gap of no Marvel Cinematic Universe stuff between The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2.

I completely agree, they really are starting to all feel the same to me. There's far to much reliance on the quippy humor started by Iron Man. When I watched the Ant-Man trailer I wasn't even excited, I just though "Meh, more of the same." At least Daredevil was a breath of serious fresh air.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was to much Wheadon and not enough Marvel for me. Everyone felt cookie cutter and I wanted them to act like secret agents and not like a bunch of snarky teenagers. Once they introduced "Fitz and Simmons, we call them Fitzsimmons!" I started to check out.
