I know you've discussed SHIELD already, but I wasn't here and don't care. I watched it.. it was terrible.

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Sep 26 '13, 09:20

Seriously crap acting, terrible shooting.. it was so cheap looking. I thought I had accidentally recorded something on the CW. The superhero effects at the were laughable. Really not what I was expecting in a time when we can crank out some seriously cool TV.

I know it's the pilot, so I'll give it a few more, but it was really sucky.

As long as they keep the hot babes, I can overlook the other stuff. -- nm - GregW Sep 26, 09:31 2
- the babe factor in Arrow, is ten times higher than this show. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 09:42
- Amy made the comment that she thought she would not like them but was very surprised. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:33
I liked it. I really liked the sense of humor about itself. Spoils - pmb Sep 26, 09:27 12
- "You're right! He *is* a little bitch!" killed me. - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 09:30 1
  - Yeah, I loved that one IM. Maybe it does that for moments, but it's having fun with the genre. He has the ability to straddle that line like few do. -- nm - pmb Sep 26, 09:34
- so... spoils.. - colin Sep 26, 09:29 7
  - Spoils - pmb Sep 26, 09:31 4
    - thaaaank you. i heard that, but it seemed weird. i wondered if i had missed something else though. - colin Sep 26, 09:33
    - (spec spoils) - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 09:33 2
      - big spoil - Spawn Sep 26, 09:36 1
        
        Grazi! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 09:38
  - Jeezy Creezy, did you even WATCH the show??? No wonder you didn't like it!!! ;) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 09:30 1
    - Pretty much. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:31
- My favorite joke (spoils) - TWuG Sep 26, 09:29 1
  - And the thing is (spoils) - Spawn Sep 26, 09:30
I liked it, but did notice the interior sets looked pretty cheap. - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 09:25 1
- Budget cuts. -- nm - Ned Ryerson, Accountant of SHIELD Sep 26, 09:25
seriously cool means massive budgets and longer turnaround times -- nm - zork Sep 26, 09:22 7
- so why not do it right? we all want a superhero show... -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:23 6
  - it would cost more than the networks are willing to pay -- nm - zork Sep 26, 09:26 5
    - It would cost more than it would make. So that's understandable. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 09:27 4
      - Sure, but I swear, I've seen that "crashing to pavement" effect in free VFX bundles I've used. -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:28 3
        
        Heroes did it much better, but I think SHIELD has more potential for growth. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 09:29 2
        
        Without having seen it, SHIELD has potential not to fuck up the season finale. So there's that. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 09:30
        
        can't get worse! -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:30
I just thought it was boring and slow. - groiny Sep 26, 09:22 1
- good point.. i think if it had been paced better, i wouldn't have had time to focus on the production value. -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:24
you seem to be in the minority in your opinion -- nm - decline Sep 26, 09:21 15
- oh i'm sure, just like with The Avengers. - colin Sep 26, 09:22 14
  - ... -- nm - David Sep 26, 09:34
  - Pretty obvious if you FAILED to like The Avengers you would FAIL to like this. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:24 12
    - TV and movies are in a different realm. i have huge issues with Whedon's movies because he has a poor handle on the medium.. he normally does good TV -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:25 11
      - a poor handle on the medium? Have you seen Serenity? -- nm - mud Sep 26, 09:30 7
        
        have you seen how every piece of action is dead center in the frame like he doesn't know there's more space to use? -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:34 5
        
        Disagreed entirely. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:38
        
        The best movie of 2005. - David Sep 26, 09:37
        
        no, quite the contrary. I thought he used the whole canvas sufficiently -- nm - mud Sep 26, 09:37 2
        
        there was stuff in it, but there's a lot more to framing a shot than just getting everything in. position in frame, perspective, etc create meaning. - colin Sep 26, 09:39 1
        
        Yes, everyone always talks about Whedon's lack of character depth... - David Sep 26, 09:41
        
        I like colin, and his opinion on video is always lumped into "he is a critic" for me. - Spawn Sep 26, 09:32
      - Even Amy like SHIELD. Would have bet money against that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:26 2
        
        i should have gotten really high first... -- nm - colin Sep 26, 09:27 1
        
        In 40 minutes, he set up an incredible amount of cast and backstory. Now lets see what he does with it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 09:42
