I decided to rewatch the first ever episode of Agents of Shield, and it holds up. This was a really good premiere, nothing out of the ordinary, but it was just real solid for fans alike. Slowly being introduced to the different characters, what the S.H.I.E.l.D. organization is capable of, the resources they got, and other parties around the world. In fact, they bring us to Paris, France already on a quick little mission featuring fan favorite Grant Ward. I like all of the technology we are introduced to, like fingerprint reading plates, small flying droids with cool lightning effects and a flying car.
Skye is very well known in the Marvel Cinematic Universe today, so it was pretty cool going back to look at her performance, and not only is her character very cute, smart and light-hearted but she also does well with what she has to work with. There's a lot of references to the movies, and for some, too many, but I enjoy that as a fan. There's some dumb sexual jokes that could have been cut but mostly, the upbeating atmosphere works.
I was actually surprised to see how quickly Skye comes onboard this whole S.H.I.E.L.D., and I can't actually remember if she still hesitates, but her interaction with Ward was funny, and he himself delivered the different lines really great. We already see the truth-serum at play here, which reminded me of Madame Gao and what she's capable of doing.
It's still cloudly as to her the third-party that shows up is, but they call them the "Centipede" or the ICU - and that brand tells me something, I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in Jessica Jones in the whole Nuke subplot? - but they've developed a very dangerous mix that combines alien metal from the scraps of the New York Battle with other stuff like the Super Soldier Serum developed by Doctor Erskine back in the 40's.
The pilot revolves around this one character, Michael Peterson, who is the first "superhero" or powered man that we see since the huge incidence from The Avengers and the show tries to sell us on how that whole battle has changed the world - even though it only happened in New York City - but we get to see the power at play and what it can do and it's all very interesting.
I especially love the scene with Phil Coulson's reveal, Clark Gregg really delivered on that in a funny and endearing way. I have the sense that, even at this early stage, there's some characters to like here, and that's good for a pilot. The episode also leaves you with a little tease, to bring you back in.
By the way, Chloe Benett - which is her real name, just from her father's side - looked great back then (and still does):

Damn, I really like this look. Wish they had gone with this instead of a look that's too similar to the first movie's.
Damn, that's a really nice mix of MCU & DnA Star-Lords.
I really wish that Gunn went with this design for Vol. 2 Star-Lord.[This one was more inspired by his comic book look:

The color scheme is too similar to Cap IMO, but I like the jacket more than what he wore in the movie.

Oh man, I just saw this on my Twitter feed. I hope it's the main theme. It makes perfect logical sense as well - anyone remember that Every Frame a Painting video where they asked members of the public to hum the music for Marvel films, and that Spider-Man one was the only one they could come up with?
Jesus dude, calm down! haha
You realize it's literally just an orchestrated of the 60s theme? It's not that great.
Of course I do, but it has something.
Also, I had a bad evening and this makes me somehow very very happy
I know it sounds silly but thats the stuff I love so much about these movies. Small pieces, that give me so much excitement.I must sound like the worst nerd xd

Haha, that's cool, dude. Glad you're digging it
Fingers crossed the movie will be good.

This was great to hear! Giacchino best composer in the MCU so far! I still listen to the Doctor Strange theme a lot! It helps he did the Incredibles, Zootopia, Jurassic World and Rogue One.
I forgot Inhumans comes out this year. Hopefully it airs at a reasonable time frame. I couldn't manage the 10PM timeslot for Agents season 5; I really couldn't stay awake, not to mention I didn't want to disturb some family members that my parents are allowing to stay for awhile.
And definitely looking forward to SM: Homecoming! Crossing my fingers it's the best SM film in years.

Giacchino + classic theme music = good shit.
Of course Giacchino knocks it out of the park with the theme music. Give him any theme music and he can probably write up a whole score around it.
His versions of the Speed Racer and Star Trek themes (original composition + his own) are pretty good already if you guys haven't heard them yet.
This was nothing compared to my thread and my twitter lol

I think this needs some revising, since this is a community OT, not a separate "spoiler thread." In general, things would be much nicer and more inclusive for more readers if people used their best judgement regarding spoiler tags for unreleased movies and episodes. If it seems like official synopsis stuff, fair game. If it seems like a leak of something the makers of the film might not want us to know, consider spoiler tags just out of consideration for the wide swath of Marvel-GAF that would like to join the community but not necessarily live in spoiler pandemonium. I'd mention all this in the OP.
Like you said, if the warning might scare people away, it's probably too loose of a rule. Let's not scare people away.

That Giacchino arrangement.
Don't think the Elfman theme can be surpassed as I love it to bits but taking the classic theme and giving it an orchestral spin can probably come close.
Certainly miles better than whatever generic tune the ASM movies used.

I liked James Horner's ASM score, though it is ultimately forgettable in comparison to Danny Elfman's. Hans Zimmer's ASM2 score was definitely forgettable.
I just looked up both ASM socres on Spotify, and I don't think Zimmer brought anything from Horner's score over to his (specifically the ASM theme). His Spidey theme kind of sounds like a remixed version of the Columbia title card music, or theme music for an evening news show.

If we had to create rules for spoilers, I suggest the following:
- Since the big comic book movies have a spoiler thread or a thread where one can post spoilers sans tags, if you want to immediately post something spoilery, post there. If you want to post something here, use tags for it if its only 4-5 days after the release of the movie. I think most of us are either based in the US or Europe, so if you're in Europe, just be cognizant the US will get the movie later and post with tags.
- For TV shows, I'd suggest the same methodology.
- For rumors, I'd say those are fair game because they aren't spoilers unless they're backed up by set reports or verified leaks.
- For set pics, it depends on how spoilery they are. If its Black Panther riding a car, post without spoiler tags. If it's something key or potentially important to the plot, spoiler tag or even link to the picture instead of posting it here.

My head canon isn't meaningless
Finn Jones' Danny isn't the real Danny, he's a fake Danny that'll get knocked the fuck out by the real Danny in a new Iron Fist film directed by Gareth Evans.

Marvelous, thank you! As torre_avenue noted, if one wants to talk spoilers for a new movie or show right away, those invariably have dedicated threads where that talk is fully sanctioned.
Great job, thank you Kree!

Admittedly I purposefully didn't watch the trailers when people said how spoilerific they were

Thor: Ragnarok is correct as it says Thor : Ragnarok, but lol at the rest of them. I also wrote "Joss Whedeon."
Fun fact: An in-universe orchestrated version of the Spiderman theme appears in Spiderman 3 at the Spiderman parade.
Also a specially made Michael Buble cover for the original theme was placed over the end credits of Spiderman 2.
