I'll be disappointed and a bit shocked if at some point members don't come to a serious crisis over what to do about the "super heroes". The series could be a good place to take the time in setting up a Civil War storyline.
There's no way the government and parts of the council overseeing SHIELD will see adventurers with real power running around as anything other than a threat to order and government legitimacy.
But it seems clear that others inside SHIELD such as Coulson and director Fury admire the heroes and believe they are necessary. Schism time.

Looks meh.
Coulson makes a good sidekick to Fury.
As a leader of a team I just don't buy it. His monotone no personality delivery grates rather than amusingly quirky.

Yeah, if this does well, there is literally no way DC won't make a Gotham Central TV show. And it would be fucking awesome.

I'd be satisfied if they just did a more detective version of Arrow with Batman.
Riddler as the big bad of the first season.

I'm thinking Chris Evans is more likely based on some comments he made in the past (I believe, about being game to make an appearance or two on the show for a not-outrageous amount/lower than his pay for movie appearances) and the possibility for a tie-in to the Captain America: Winter Soldier movie that will come out in April, while this season is still running.

So they just brought Coulson back from the dead?

It wouldn't be true to comics if SHIELD didn't flip-flop back and forth between being a superhero's best friend and worst enemy.
Also makes sense due to his connections to SHIELD and the lack of CG needed to show off his powers, unlike Iron Man and Hulk.
He just needs to be in crazy good shape.

Well there is clearly one in the trailer. I would bet a lot of money there will be many more after the pilot too.
I don't quite understand why people keep saying this. They drop hints in The Avengers that Nick Fury was lying about Coulson's death to rally the team.
This thread is so wall to wall with crow eaters that I can't fucking handle it. It's like an alternate universe.

The trailer isn't that good. The show might be awesome, or it might suck, we don't know yet. I don't get the whole attitude of "I might be wrong about this in a year, I better not voice an opinion at all" when it comes to stuff like movies and TV. It doesn't seem like the criticism has gotten crazy out of hand or anything.
I'm confident that AoS will be better than watchable, but by "this thread" I meant the one linked that had people saying TDKR would triple Avenger's box office.

There's no way they'd ever be that competent and make that show.
While I'd love a Gotham Central show, that shit is never happening.

I am hoping it's Luke Cage. Or may be just some random unknown super heroes. With Disney owning Marvel, I hope they would do cameo of various small time heroes. Cloak and Dagger would be nice to see, may be Black Cat or the Ring!

Now they have a bunch of C-list heroes and villains to kill off at Whedon's masturbatory pleasure.
LOL Where was I when this happened? That's hilarious. The first two pages alone...

Marvel is going to bring all the
I wonder how they are going to set this up? If the premise is still chasing after people with super powers, there is an amazing list of F-tier villains they can comb through in a "monster of the week" format like early Buffy and Smallville. I wonder if they can use mutants since it's a TV show?
How so? They establish the trading cards thing throughout, then when Fury is trying to convince the team to assemble and avenge Coulson (using the bloody trading cards), it's made clear that he didn't have them on him and Fury manufactured an emotionally manipulative stunt. That's the entire scope of their implication. Anything beyond that is a retcon. It's not a big deal that they brought him back, and doesn't hurt the show in any way. But it's still a retcon. There isn't any need to deny it.
We see Coulson die on screen, and his death isn't faked. They brought him back because they needed someone Avengersy to headline the show and they obviously weren't going to get any of the main cast who are big movie stars. If there's truly some compelling evidence I'm unaware of, then I'd be happy to recognize it. I just don't know why they didn't say "we used some Marvel Cinematic Universe™ technology/magic to resurrect him." It's cheating death either way.
But again, it doesn't hurt my opinion of the show. It'll be judged on its own merits.

The point is, a lot of the naysayers about Avengers are the SAME people who are saying SHIELD is going to fail.

They can. The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and X-Men license agreements only cover films. They can use any characters from those properties they want on television (provided it isn't feature length).
That being said, I doubt they will. This show is still taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and they will probably want to keep it consistent. This way it also allows them to more easily crossover between this show (and other future TV series if this does well) and the films.
Even without mutants there are many many heroes and villains they can pull from that most people probably have never heard of. Street level heroes and villains, especially ones with basic powers that won't require a lot of effects work, are probably the most likely.

I wonder, could Disney use Spider-man in this? They can't use him in the movies because of Sony, but the deal they have is only for films, not TV shows,
Nevermind. Awesome, that they can. This is going to be good.
