Didn't Anthony Stark have parts of the Tesseract or some shit like that? Maybe they can resurrect people? I'm sure they'll make something up.
Samuel L Jackson just lied to the team to get em to work together right? I don't think he ever died.

looks very bland.
Damn, I am surprised at all the "meh" in this thread. I think it looks fucking great.
They really sold me on the basic concept here. I can sort of see what they're going for now, and with Whedon in charge, I know it's something I can get behind.
This will basically be like x-files with superheroes and supervillains, focusing on how SHIELD collaborates with heroes, works against villains. They can introduce all sorts of B and C level marvel universe stuff here, and have it woven into season plots. Recurring hero characters that become popular might become regulars or get spin-off shows.
As for the actors playing the young shield agents, I didn't see anything that was especially bad here, and I'm certainly not going to get super-judgmental about a lack of interesting characters based on a little trailer.
Also, this is a Whedon show, so I have faith that the characters will evolve and become more interesting as it goes along. Character growth is one thing he does very well in his shows.

I am getting a very strong overly-serious-and-therefore-slightly-camp feeling. I hope this is watchable in the UK without a Sky subscription. 
Since the show isn't airing for another 4 months, no, not yet.

Eliza Dushku acts? Is this a new development?

He died in the theatrical cut. There you see the spear pierce through his chest.
In the bluray version they removed the tip.
They probably regretted killing him for real when they came up with the idea of the TV show so they tried to salvage it.
Making her the lead on Dollhouse was such a huge mistake, if she was trying to hide the fact that she can't act. Her personality is an independant badass ... who talks like Eliza Dushku. Now she's a blind religious woman ... who talks like Eliza Dushku (with a cane!). Now she's blank and with no personality at all and ... yeah I can barely tell the difference.

Wait, really?
I thought they were just gonna go with 'we were able to save him, but kept it secret' angle. Any comparison pics of the spear theatrical vs Blu Ray?

i would hate to start watching this then it gets canned after one season
i have been duped too many times!
I swore to myself that if Hannibal doesn't get renewed I'm done with network television for good and all, so my ability to enjoy this show is currently dependent on Hannibal.

that aspect reminded me of Burn Notice, without being able to act or having Bruce Campbell.

I'm really hating everyone on this show who isn't Coulson. It's my immediate gut reaction.
I'm almost positive it's going to be life model decoy. Fury has had his decoy killed countless times, I don't see why Coulson would not have the same. And the LMD is in the universe since Stark jokes about being one in the very same movie.

I cant find any footage of the theatrical scene, but there are comparisons between the us and european bluray releases, so maybe it was just a localisation thingy that happened.
Still tho, I like my theory better

I don't know, I liked the trailer, looks like it has potential. I don't expect a TV show to be a blockbuster movie, I hope it focuses more on developing characters and long arcs, otherwise it will get boring fast.

I'm not sure how I feel about this based on the trailer. Hated all the Whedonesque quippy lines. I'm so completely over that shit.
I'm also skeptical that a broadcast network show will have the production time and budget to pull this off week-to-week.

haha, should have phrased that differently: her gestures and facial expressions are similiar to Eliza Dushku.
And yes, Amy Acker is the lead in Dollhouse would have made the show much better.
well duh

Will watch for Coulson alone.
No, no, no. They removed the spear in Europe thanks to Germany. My Region 1 BluRay has the spear intact.
It was censorship, not retconning.

Wow, I wasn't expecting them to show so much in the trailer. Awesome.
I'm guessing Fury faked Coulson's death so he can motivate the Avengers and head up Level 7 agents.

YEAH BOY.
For me, moreso the second reason than the first. I'm 23, but Coulson's just awesome. Just a regular dude who is totally awesome.
Any word on if this is coming to UK at all?
Also trailer doesnt do much for me, i get the understandable vibe its going to be 90-95% "Lets follow clues and talk to each other" and 5% watchable action scenes, kind of like what heroes was in season 1.
