Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

i said, when was this about coulson, b/c it's a show Agents of SHIELD, directed(involved or not) by Josh Whedon. Now Josh whedon to me has a gift, he can take a bunch of characters with personalities and voltron them into a distinct team, not a co-heasive team, but a team that works. When i saw first saw Josh Whedon's name on anything it was on the cover of Astonishing X-men, i was like "wth is this?" Googling, i was like oh that's the guy that created buffy, man Astonishing X-men is gonna suck, it didn't It has one of the best "team" cohesion ever, to most who have ever read Astonishing X-men only issues 1-24 matter (and the giant sized) the Whedon issues. Then i saw he made this show firefly (i didn't watch tv much post college days.. too much EQ) i didn't know about the controversies and all those petitions, i just watched the DVD's. The characters created and their cohesion again was like nothing i have ever seen, imo serentiy was too much, it seemed like he tried to re-introduce but not really, characters you already (this is very important later on) it felt like he had to kind of retell his story. (i didn't watch dollhouse can't comment)

So now we goto The avengers 2012, what i said b4 about him trying to re-introduce characters, he didn't do that, he learned and we got the avengers. Ok please realize this, the avengers as a team, should not be, they are the worst team to be thought of in "team" existence. SHIELD didn't "recruit" the avengers or have a dossier on them? No the original avengers was "what comics are selling the most? ok throw them in the blender", i mean think about it, they are supposed to be the supreme premiere Marvel Team, and they are called the Avengers, wth do they have to avenge? That sounds like a team that responds to failure, rather than what most superhero teams do, respond before shit hits the fan.

This is the Avengers.
A god, a real pray to this man so he can water our crops GOD, that is misbehaving like a spoiled child and his father (Odin) sends him to earth to punish him and have him learn humility
One of the smartest men in the world, but when he gets emo trades 99% of his intellect to be the strongest
A narcissistic uncaring gifted alcoholic billionaire playboy, who is so fragile on the inside that he hides behind a suit made out of billions and again is only humbled by something out of his control (the shrapnel in his heart)
A 1940's time displaced superhero who's only real worth is that he was the first and only test subject for super hero steroids.

hawkeye doesn't count, he is a marvel response to green arrow and basically has robin origins (he was in the circus all his life with a bow)
black widow is a russian spy created for iron man, and so that tony stark can get his playboy/007 on with black widow.

he made avengers 2012, work, and work well, and i suspect only he could have done such a job.

This is what i kind of wanted/expected for Agents of SHIELD, for josh whedon to take a bunch of characters and mold them into something special, (i don't care at all that it has little bearing to the marvel universe, in fact i would rather it all be made up in whedon land). Regardless i'm still going to give this series 2 seasons of "i'll try it" cuz it takes that long it seems for whedon to get going (from what ppl have said about buffy/angel/dollhouse).

I'm interested in what Whedon can do with a bunch of characters, again.
