Marvel's Damage Control

Damage Control, a comedy set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is currently in development as a television series at ABC, Variety reports.

According to the series description, the Marvel cleaning crew specializes in dealing with the aftermath of the unique fallout from super hero conflicts. They are the ones who are in charge of returning lost ray guns to their rightful owners, help to reschedule a wedding venue after it has been vaporized in a super hero battle or even track down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo. Sometimes the most important super heroes are the ones behind the scenes — and that’s who “Damage Control” will follow.

Before the network announced Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., former Cougar Town and Enlisted showrunner Kevin Biegel reportedly was developing a Damage Control project.

"I also flirted for two seconds/talked about trying to do a Damage Control show with a famous cool director that I barely know. We talked about it like four times over e-mail, that's it -- and then Shield [sic] was announced (f yer periods) and we were like, yeah... no one would want to do that."

The series currently being considered was developed by Ben Karlin of The Daily Show and Modern Family, who will executive produce along with Marvel TV's Jeph Loeb.

Hmmm. Could be interesting.

They were actually planning to do Damage Control before SHIELD? I feel that would have been a bit of a failure.

Anyways, sounds interesting.

Yeah, but remember... a lot of people called Agents of SHIELD a bit of a failure most of the way through Season 1.

At least some of the SHIELD characters were recognizable to non-comic fans. If they released this before SHIELD... I'm not really sure.

By some, I assume you mean just Coulson? Or were there any others?

I've never watched it, so I'm curious.

I've only watched a bit, and from what I know there was Tony Stark in an episode, Whiplash, and Coulson. I don't know any others, so I'm not sure.

In the end, not many. But most likely more than what Damage Control would have had.

*ToTheNines* · 10-02-2015, 08:56 PM

Tony Stark has never been in it. But season 1 had Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Lady Sif and a couple more. Season 2 had Hill and Sif again, plus Strucker's cronie Dr. List, and Agent Carter in a flashback.

Season 3 so far has just had President Ellis.

Agent Sitwell was also on Agents of SHIELD. Right before Captain America: Winter Soldier.

SHIELD weaves into the stories. They initially picked up where Iron Man 3 left off, with extremis. Since then, it's tied-in with every MCU film that released while the show was in season. Sometimes it's really satisfying.

Damage Control sounds like a cool idea. Maybe, with enough diversity, they can avoid burnout altogether.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 10-02-2015, 10:05 PM

Y'know, I really just don't think I'm interested. I'll keep checking in on this, but eh.

I'm game, if it would air on NBC instead of ABC. For some weird reason, ABC never comes in here, even with digital HD TV and a booster. We've been thinking of getting cable just so we can actually watch local channels! Of course, what I REALLY want is a JMS-inspired take on a Spidey cartoon or LA series!

*AT-Man* · 10-04-2015, 04:37 PM

Like everything MCU, I would watch and love it. More is better.

As long as they keep close to the comic damage control, this could be amazing. But if they keep AOS cringey tumblr tier humor I'm out.

It killed AOU for me

Yeah, I get you. It's a great way of describing it.
