Well, its not "Phil Coulson, Agent of SHIELD," but I'm willing to bet it *will* be a SHIELD TV series. Which is awesome.

Part of me kind of wants it to be a Runaways series, but I doubt it would ever happen on ABC.

well, whedon DID write a six-issue arc of runaways before...

granted, that's mostly me just wanting more runaways

despite the fact that he was kinda bad at writing it

I will push forward and make my boldness known.

I would so love the Serenity crew getting somehow warped into the Marvel universe. They could take the place of the Starjammers

A Punisher series might be interesting.

I think this will end up being pretty good. I'd just like to know what the show is about.

I like a lot of people are thinking Damage Control. Which seems reasonable.

I'm excited.

Punisher isn't really Whedon's style.

Since it's going to be a TV show, there's really no money to be taken from me, but I still feel compelled to say:

"SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY"

The last two superhero live action TV series I can remember were Heroes and Misfits.

[up] There were others, but they largely sucked.

I hope SHIELD turns out to be both good *and* popular. I like Whedon, I like Marvel, I like genre TV, and I like ballsy experiments.

considering the immediate appeal to a broad audience (thanks to this being a part of an unbelievably successful IP) and whedon being attached(usually a really good writer) i think it'll do well. unlike a lot of tie-ins, its got good writing, and unlike most whedon stuff its not incredibly niche.

I will push forward and make my boldness known.

[up][up] That's probably why I didn't think of it. [up] Particularly seeing as it already has a large fanbase. If half the people who saw the movie tune in for the first episode, it will have ratings through the roof.

I would like Enver Gjoka to be in the series if possible. I'm re-watching Dollhouse and the man's a great actor, far better than his avenger's cameo. Since he's already in the universe, maybe he would be a good gateway character for the audience; a local beat cop that, after seeing the Avengers defeat an alien invasion from the front line, is inspired to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
