I still gotta watch agent carter S2, couldn't be arsed after the first episode and her being heartbroken because the dude she knew for a day went missing/died/got teleported to a phantom dimension or something
Agent Carter was pretty bad. I'd honestly rank both seasons next to AoS S1 as lowest tier TV Marvel (or, well, before Netflix Marvel started tanking... and Inhumans). Never quite got what people saw in it outside a decent premise and good chemistry between the cast.
Boy they're really good at selling the "no one likes Deke" narrative.
The idea that AC and AoS mixing would ruin AoS because S2 of AC was slog.
Doesn't make sense.
First half of S1 was just absolute garbage. I will hear no defense of it. S3 was mixed, and the first half of this season was dull to OK.
S1 was forever ago, not that I agree anyways. So guess you heard a defense. S3 was good, as is this season. It's all more entertaining than Agent Carter, and I really liked that show, so... yea
AoS is the last show I'd call a slog lmao
I love season one. You needed those procedural episodes to establish the characters.
It may have not been fun to sit through but I bet if someone starts fresh right now and marathons it right now they wouldn't even notice it.

It was not that bad. Slow and getting it's bearings, but it wasn't that bad. Like, I've seen some genuinely awful, garbage shows and AoS has never come close to any of those.
The worst part of season 1 was the completely unpredictable airing schedule, which made watching it live full of false starts and unintentional cliffhangers. There is no doubt in my mind it is half the reason AoS gets unfairly maligned as being worse than it actually is to this day.
I don't watch a lot of TV shows nowadays (or even back then) so maybe I was just lacking a recent point of reference.
S1 starts off slow but it isn't a terrible show. The Gravitonium episode is fun, "F.Z.Z.T." is legit great, "The Well" is really good too.
Lost Girl
Iron Fist
That's some truly terrible genre television right there.
Been rewatching S1, and having similar thoughts. My mind had made those episodes bland, in the past. But they haven't been too bad.
Hey did we ever find out if it Grant Ward was lying about his older brother? With the whole weird abuse thing? They seemed to leave it pretty ambiguous as to whether it was him or his older brother lying.
They're just slow. Like, I remember re-watching S1 during the break in S2, and it's biggest offense is that it's slow. And it honestly is very slow, almost too slow in some places. It's worth every moment though.
I was going to post a big post about season three and four and not pop in at all until then, but I couldn't help it after watching S4E7. Ghost Rider Mack is the biggest tease on the fucking planet, and I would have been so ready for it. Dude's a great actor, and an unwilling host for the spirit of vegeance would have been fucking perfect. I like this version of robbie, but good lord would I have loved that version. Since I'm here, yeah season 3 was cool and all, but that Inhuman destiny bullshit grew thin. Hive Ward was completely amazing and I loved how hammy it was, but thankfully they moved on from the Hydra stuff. This darkhold plot is pretty good so far.
AoS is like Supernatural you guys. Of course I have been with SN from the start show its not the same for me, but I mean that both have very slow starts in the couple first seasons, and from season 3 once everything is grounded they just go with the flow and it works. In both shows there is a feeling that it shouldn't, but it does, so damn much. AoS is also basec on existing Marvel lore, and its not even a faithful adaptation in some ways, but its different in a very excellent way, so I'll take it.

In my mind it was a bit of both. Neither of them were good people.
Please tell me that these Johnny Blaze teases stay just as hints in the show. With Captain Marvel going back to the 90s, I want a Phase 4 Ghost Rider Movie with Nick Fury or Coulson involved.
Can you imagine being the showrunners, excited about what you have to show, then being told you can't do it until much later? Then having to deal with all of the breaks and interruptions (good lord those were awful)?
I really hope this doesn't turn into the next Endless Eight.
Are you talking about me or Phil Coulson? I genuinely can't tell.
