I have no designs on watching Agents of Shield, so does someone want to use the newly-designated White Spoiler Font and tell me how Coulson is "alive" in the show?

They revealed that a year ago, so I'm going to type it in plain black font.

He was legitimately dead for several days. Then Nick Fury did some Dr. Frankenstein shit and brought him back. This was called the T.A.H.I.T.I. project, and involved blood from a Kree corpse. (Kree are the blue alien species of Ronan from Guardians of the Galaxy and the genetic ancestors of the Inhumans.) The purpose of the T.A.H.I.T.I. project was to be able to revive dead Avengers, but Coulson was the guinea pig.

Interesting... why haven't they thrown him back into the movie universe? I loved his character.

He doesn't have much narrative value now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been destroyed and driven underground. Plus, we had twelve super people in the Civil War film, with Thor and Hulk off doing some Asgard shit. We don't need law enforcement bureaucrats to fill screen time anymore.

Sounds like standard reshoots to answer things the studio was unhappy about... sounds pretty normal for most films, no?

Hard to tell. This one seems to be getting more buzz than you normally see on the blogs but that might just be click-bait.

Star Wars in general will get more buzz than anything else so this is likely just a normal thing that is actually getting press because it's Star Wars.

I do remember a movie getting a lot of reshoots recently (Suicide Squad?) and that concerned people but I know that movies get reshoots all the time.

Yeah, Gattaca talked me down about the reshoots to Suicide Squad. They're just getting press because of their nature.

As the article about the Rogue One reshoots says, maybe it's really a good thing because it might mean more Darth Vader.

That would be a bad thing, IMO. I want Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, not Star Wars Episode III 1/2: Rogue One.

I want to see a brutal Darth Vader doing Sith things for the Empire as the Rebels try to steal the plans for the Death Star. More Darth Vader =/= Less Rogue One.

The "Episodes" are one overarching narrative based on Anakin and Luke Skywalker. The "Stories" (previously known as the Anthology films) should be more stand-alone.

So it sounds like the reshoots are being filmed to try and "bring more levity" and tone everything down. That actually disappoints me. I was hoping for a much more serious film honestly.

boooooooooooooo. The tone being more serious was half the reason I was excited about this. I wanted to see Darth Vader as a normal person would see him AKA a terrifying death machine.

Marvel is usually spot on with their castings so I guess I should give them the benefit of the doubt on this one, but I just don't see it. She's a fantastic actress but she just doesn't seem like the right fit for that role.
Click to expand...

I think a big factor might be her age. I'm sure they're going to want an actress to sign on for several years. A lot of the actresses considered, or at least rumored, would be mid 40s when their contract would end. Plus she's pretty hot. Who would you want for the role?
