Marvel's Most Wanted

That on/off Bobbi/Hunter spin-off has gotten an official pilot episode pick-up order from ABC

Ugh, why? These two feature heavily enough in the show as is, it's not like their characters are screaming for more screen time.

And more importantly, how is this gonna be ANY different from AoS?

Hasn't AoS always been struggling? Why do they think this is an intelligent idea?

The quality gets better all the time. But it's still already a spinoff of the movies... don't really need a spinoff of a spinoff.

If you mean struggling as in ratings, I know it's not doing insanely well but it does well enough to get renewed and the CGI looks better every season, so I assume it gets budget bumps.

I suppose they were chosen because they have their own background, and they're kind of expendable. I think there are other characters who could better carry a show, but not ones agents of shield could afford to lose.

A spinoff of a spinoff?

Seriously, this sounds like an endangered species.

I enjoy AoS a lot, and Bobbi and Hunter work really well in that ensemble. Not convinced there's enough there to give them their own series, and I'd hate to see AoS lose them.

I think Marvel/ABC's efforts would be better used in bringing their all to AoS as-is instead of spinning off even more. The show keeps improving, and this seems like a bad time to cut a piece of that formula off.

Even if they aren't all connected, there are like 100 DC shows...

Delroy Lindo has been cast as Dominic Fortune who in the comics is an adventurer/fortune hunter and a bit of a ladies man who's been active on and off since the 1930's (he's been de-aged a couple times thanks to the same serum that's kept Nick Fury alive forever).

Even if I did, I'm not sure I'd be that interested save for them getting Tom Holland for a recurring role... which they won't.

Good. I can only assume Mockingbird and British not-Hawkeye will be back on AoS season 4.

Agent Carter also got canned, thankfully. Season 2 was one of the worst things I've ever forced myself to sit through. Hopefully they just ignore it if anyone ever wants to make use of Madam Masque.
