Gross sit comes like how I met your mother are multi-camera. Single camera is good. It will look like most high quality shows.
Yeah, I noticed my mistake. The wikipedia image for single-camera setup is just pretty misleading.
 
Yup I only read the first series but will aim to read the rest.

BTW what's the source of your avatar?

Mangaverse Dr.Doom. Black Panther's sister kills Doom and takes the mantle

Sounds great, but isn't then the fifth Marvel show for ABC (including the mystery John Ridley project)? Seems like a bit much for one network.
 
Except this is actually amazing.

sure, it sounds cool but the bubble doesn't need bad movies or shows for it to burst. It just needs for the general audience to grow exhausted and apathetic towards marvel stuff.

Even as someone who grew up with late 80s early 90s comics, i'm starting to feel burned out by all of this stuff
 
So how do they do this with limited or no hero appearances? Every episode going to start after the fight and we're never gonna see what causes all the destruction?

I want this to work but im curious how they're gonna pull it off with a TV comedy budget.

I can see them going Office or Park and recs
 
I know WHO owns ABC, but they didn't get Daredevil and stuff

I just meant, I don't know why ABC keeps getting these projects.. argh, it's a discussion I've had before.. whatever
Netflix got the properties which won't work on network TV.
 
If you did not immediately do a fist pump and have a tear in your eye after reading that thread title, you need to leave right now.
 
I'd look myself but I'm on mobile, but what's the currently status of Marvel's TV projects?

Agents of Shield on its third season.
Agent Carter is filming its second.
Daredevil is filming it's second.
Jessica Jones is out later this year.
Luke Cage is filming.
Iron Fist and Defenders next year.
Damage Control announcement.
A Mockingbird and Hunter spin-off (was this rumour or confirmed?)
And another unannounced project I believe?

Can anyone help or clarify?

With some news story about the Hulk and Iron Man battling Fin Fang Foom in downtown Manhattan.
 
first episode should start directly after Age of Ultron with the cast collectively sighing "fuck sake"

Cameos. Like a cold opening of them dewebbing a crook, or trying to figure out how to unstone a dude.
 
I think Penguins point is more about popularity. Agent Carter and AoS get pretty mediocre ratings. ABC's non-Marvel shows are a lot stronger for the most part.
Not really. AoS and Agent Carter are firmly in the middle of the pack

At least, someone understood my point

I could have been more clear I guess

Mostly correct. Iron Fist and Defenders have no dates yet, Marvel's Most Wanted (SHIELD spinoff) is unofficially confirmed for a pilot order, and the other project is being developed by John Ridley, of American Crime and 12 Years a Slave.
 
I will never understand this "bubble burst" stuff.
Well, it's true, but I don't get people saying it like they're onto something or that it has anything at all to do with the specifics of superhero movies. It happened to musicals, it happened to westerns, it'll happen to superhero movies, and it'll happen to other things after we're all dead. It's common sense, and the people that say it like they're actually making some kind of point or showing any kind of insight at all are aggressively annoying.
 
Also, isn't Damage Control kind of an awkward fit for the MCU conceptually? Even with Inhumans gradually emerging, it's hardly struck me as a place where public superhuman battles or alien attacks are an everyday occurrence.

As a drama, I'd agree, but as a comedy, they can probably do a lot. I hope it's not set in the present like all the other marvel shows. Having cleanup scenes from prior mcu films would be great.

Someone has to collect all the Chitauris. Or Ultronbots. Or the Beast from Thor 2.
