It's a well known fact that Marvel’s Avengers spin-off TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., has not been doing to well. The first episode opened to record numbers...that was of course before people knew just how bad it was. Poor pacing, one-dimensional characters and just overall sub-par writing has lead to viewers losing interest. However, Marvel has a plan to save the show from cancellation, and that is to add more Marvel. Thor’s Jaimie Alexander is scheduled to star in an upcoming crossover episode. Also, Mr Marvel, himself, Stan ‘The Man” Lee, will have one of his famous walk on cameos. Is this enough to save the show?
Earlier in the week, ABC's Entertainment President announced his disappointment with the show at the TV Critics Association press event.
“It was obviously disappointing that we started with a very high number and it came down. It took a little bit of time to find our sea legs, but now the show is really doing well…I think the key to us was really starting to work closely with the studios, and really figure out with our showrunners and all the creative brains, how we could have a show that didn’t have Iron Man in it, but did have an incredible amount of the Marvel universe and an incredible amount of the mythology that went through there. We also took a little bit of time to get the balance between a procedural and an arc. I’m so proud of how they’ve now arced out the last nine episodes. But, that’s something that many shows do, as they go through that.”
However, in February both the Jaimie Alexander Thor crossover and the Stan Lee cameo are scheduled. Bill Paxton is also joining the show sometime soon.
What do you think about the changes planned for the show? Do you think that Agents can be saved? What other crossover characters do you want to see?
