Yeah, it's idiotic and they use it all the time.
I'm suggesting it because I remember one of the movies mentioning them.

Better than Steven Moffat's "Time can be rewritten" bogus
Tony Stark claims to be an LMD of himself when Coulson is trying to reach him at the beginning of Avengers.

They're currently filming the 4th episode of the series:

There's a Tesseract in every suitcase.
Wait, they're only filming the forth episode now?

I am just happy this has the full weight of the House of Mouse.

Nope. Time being like a banana has been one of the central themes in the show for quite some time, and ties directly into the The Doctor having a time machine. Doctor Who has also had the equivalent of LMD's, and those always seem much more like a cheat compared to rewriting time.
That almost scares me -- it's so necessary for SHIELD to be a hit that it could cause more-than-necessary studio and network oversight. Or not. But it's just a theory.
So have LMDs, been a important part of SHIELD mythology.
Disney's been pretty hands off creatively in regards to the MCU, allowing Kevin Feige to do his thing with little interference. The Mouse House's marketing muscle is where they come into play. For example, Disney's planning to heavily promote Thor: The Dark World across all its properties (ABC, ESPN, etc) next week.

I'm assuming that Weadon's had a plan since the Avengers, whether it will pay off, is another question

Right, I'm not really disputing that, but I do strongly disagree that it's any better a cop-out than, "time can be rewritten."
Maybe he does, but the audience unfamiliar with the comics will feel cheated with that sort of explanation since the movies have not established these to be a thing. I suppose he could make it work if LMD's were to be a central part of the story.
Or maybe something to do with Red Skull.

In what Marvel movie do they bring up LMD and in what specific scene? because I've seen all of the Marvel films at least twice and never heard about that.
Tony mentions it in The Avengers when Coulson visits him at the beginning.

Or it's just a uniform color so they can CGI over it.

Red's not the most efficient color for CGI.....

I'm looking forward to this. I hope they can make this work.
Sadly I do too...
I will find every single reason to hate and I mean HATE this show and its really stupid cast but I'll prolly watch every single episode just because I'm a TV junkie.
The Casting just looks so bad and atypical of Hollywood. retread Ming Na, NO thank you not interested. 20 somethings without a care in the world doing everything perfectly no thank you. I know its ABC but I would so much more enjoy this series if they murdered one cast member every season.

Fixed for you.
I love how posts like this exist before the pilot even airs. Beautiful. Thank you, Internet, for your ever-glorious hyperbolic bullshit.

Shouldn't it be green or blue in that case?

Red is a bad color to chroma key because skin tones have a lot of red in them.
Indeed how is that possible? One would assume the lead time must be way longer then that.

Given a bit of what I've heard about the pilot, I'm actually wondering whether we'll see much of anything/anyone that fans will recognize from the comics introduced here. But I hope that fear is unfounded.
this seems more likely

Lol. Why would they get out of house physically having that?!!
My take, after rewatching Avengers tonight, was that Coulson didn't die...
The only confirmation came from Fury, who had an ulterior motive for making the Avengers believe he died. If he faked the cards, why not the death itself? It'll probably be explained in the first ep somehow.
Anyway, looking forward to this.

Kinda in the same boat. I could have blindly given you description of each of those characters before I saw them/read their description. They are archetypical hollywood by now.

He's a guest star in the pilot as a dude who just got superpowers or something like that, not main cast.

Well,
not really. There's apparently an explanation of some kind given in the pilot, but it's revealed by the end of the episode that this is just a cover story and that the real story will emerge in later episodes.
