Actually, a clever way to do a TV series might be as an anthology show, spotlighting different character each week... Hmmm.



DC beat them to that. Their anthology series "Legends of Tomorrow" is scheduled for January. Someone figured out that Hawkgirl or Rip Hunter might not carry a series, but would work well in an ensemble.

OK, but since DC are incapable of making watchable TV, it doesn't really count. ;)
FINE

Strongly disagree. I enjoy Arrow and Flash much more than Shield, which seems to start well each season, then slump mid-season and pick up towards the end.

Found both to be unwatchable. In fact, two of the worst examples of DC TV I've seen. Even the mediocre Constantine was more enjoyable. But apparently I am in the minority.

I very much enjoy SHIELD (have since the beginning) but let's not forget Agent Carter and Daredevil.
FINE

Too many episodes! 24 episodes is not sustainable for any 1 hour drama.

Kete is the Darth Geek of TV?
I find this funny given how much I apparently annoy people with my complaints about the new Muppet show.

I do agree with Kete, though, that having Sheild be twenty four 1 hour episodes does make it drag a lot.

Honestly I couldnt give two shits about the Fantastic 4, but I think Doctor Doom could be a huge benefit if done right.  He could be a villain that is bother powerful and threatening, someone I think the MCU is really in need of.

I was bieng threated with death by wolf raping before it was cool!.

Kete

Yeah.  I'm not a fan of the Fantastic Four.  It's hard to imagine that they would actually try to reboot it again.  Maybe they just want to use the characters to flesh out the universe a bit more in something like Civil War, but not give them another movie on their own.  I know it's too late for Civil War, but maybe FF will be in Infinity War or something.

Pak-Man

At this point, I'm convinced Marvel Studios could make a movie about Hit Monkey and still make it entertaining. Let's see what they can do with the Fantastic Four!

Also note: This puts Galactus in Marvel's hands.

Have a future Avengers story beginning with Doctor Doom annihilating the Fantastic four, then bring on Galactus, whose presence is solely because Reed Richards wasn't alive to build the ultimate nullifier. God dammit. I sound like such a geek right now.

Kete

Maybe Silver Surfer will show up in the maybe-sort-of Planet Hulk/Ragnarok movie.
