Been bingewatching Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter. Man, they are mediocre in many, many ways, but they truly achieve an excellent hammy pulpy noir-lite sensibility above everything. They're dumb like 30's movie serials, and they just seem so low-budget and kinda dumb. I am enjoying them nonetheless.

They're making a Damage Control sitcom.

 

Damage Control being the company that rebuilds things after the latest super hero fight. Such as aliens in New York, cities being raised into the sky by robots or other aliens attacking Greenwich. They were implicated in initiating the Civil War in the comics by supplying a drug that enhances abilities (which lead to explosion of a chunk of town killing kids and blah blah read Marvel Civil War if you want). Towns being destroyed, heroes fighting each other. A lot of damage, a lot of construction contracts.

Rumour is Marvel have Fantastic Four. The article says "back" but they never had it in MCU before now. Though at this point one wonders if the brand is pretty much fucked, and I think 2020 will take it out of the Phase 3 run too (and I'm not sure how well MCU will cope after Phase 3 ends).

I'd say my only issue with it is that for all that this will be the largest hero line-up to date, there was a couple of the bigger wider shots that were maybe a bit too wide and empty seeming (though I guess with the Avengers films Hulk n Thor can flesh out a lot of that space :P).

 

It being over Bucky makes sense within the storyline, still a shame we didn't have any cracks in Age of Ultron and this is potentially going to be largely self contained. I wonder if it'll make RDJ's Stark into as big a dick as he was in the comic version. Though a big failing with MCU is lack of a significant roster of proper villains (largely being just Loki, with Thanos brooding in the background) so can't do the whole trick of pulling in the Thunderbolts. This looks to be purely hero-on-hero.

 

Got some T'challa shots too, though no Spider-man. Likely a late-game reveal a bit like Vision was (though in this case less of a "who is that?" from general audience).

 

That Bucky & Cap Am beat down of Tony was pretty good though.
