  1. Okay, thanks. I personally don't know if they will reboot it or try a revival but since a lot of time has passed, I would say a reboot is more likely. That being said, I know that Joe Flannigan once mentioned that he tried to buy the IP rights, from MGM but was denied it. Here is a video on his story (and the video itself is like 8 years old): So, I guess that there are actors willing to return but who are they I don't know. I do know that Disney was willing to get the old cast of Futurama back to do another season on Hulu, but that's Futurama.
  2. So are they going to reboot the TV series, a new show/movie but in the same universe, or pick up where they left off?
  3. I know that this is a bit old news but it was obvious for me around Season 3 (right around the part where they leave New Caprica and they were just throwing things on the wall to see what sticks. All that came out of it was (I guess) Starbucks dies 9for shock value) and comes back (for shock value), Lee gain a lot of weight, quite, then rejoin the army, then quite (finally) to become a lawyer, Lee learns that his grandfather is (surprised to no one) a shady lawyer and somehow his old colleague was the few 0.0000001% that survived the destroying of the 12 Colonies, Baltar becomes a cult leader because. reasons..., the Cylons have no plan other than to kill all humans (and honestly that was a much simpler plan than to find a way to reproduce with them), etc... But yeah, it was obvious that their was no plan and I swear they already said this years ago. I would say that the show (for a decent part of it) was written decently enough (compared to some other shows that came afterwards) but the fact that they didn't have a plan, from the start, wasn't superseding, in my opinion. RDM seems to be more about shock value and grimdark (and I wonder if that is why he and Braga wrote that Picard's brother and his family all died in that fire...), in my opinion. He is a good writer but I feel like he just goes all way to grimdark as a basic feature. At least we know he can write Klingons very well.
  4. So, with the complete sale of MGM to Amazon I wonder if Amazon will reboot the series or even revive the series?
  5. I heard (not to long ago) about a possible reboot that will combine both RDM and Glen Larson's versions into one.
  6. For me, I would say that it was a really great scripted show but like you I would say that the show started to go downhill around, when they left New Caprica (and the show was able to also do some hot button takes on the current events of the time. New Caprica was more or less Iraq, the Cylons were religious tourists, the Colonials were basically us but they had a different religion, etc... There was an edge to it but it was written well enough to get away with it, IMO).
  7. They are different in that Feige mentioned that it would be the first time the MCU has a TV show and it will be tie-in to the movies, though. That is a big hint that he isn't counting the previous shows. As with Agent Carter, I think it's easier to accept that as canon and/or a parallel universe that is part of the Feige's larger MCU multiverse than AoS. With the point that Feige was involved with creating that show, as a producer, so that is at least a direct connection that AoS doesn't have. Sure the show had Joss Whedon and also Jed Whedon but overall Feige is the main sticking point. It doesn't really matter if it's a fan's personal headcanon but if it is starting to clash with each other (like how the Darkhold in WandaVision wasn't the same one from AoS and that Loki started out with only 1 timeline, etc...) then it does..
  8. Didn't Feige made the comment that starting with WandaVision, the MCU will be having it's first TV show? I just feel like their is a lot of wishful thinking and also also grasping at straws trying to explain away the AoS (and well as the other Marvel Entertainment Shows) canon Continuity to the MCU films.
  9. No. It's a concept. It's like this. What the MCU just did was more or less created their own multiverse but the Marvel multiverse has been around for decades. It's basically something that Marvel (as a comic book company and entertainment company) created to say that all of their past tv shows, movies, comic books, etc... exist within a multiverse (it's just a collection of different universes. In that each universe exist next to each other but they are not the same universe. MCU seems to have just created their own version but that's not to say that AoS and the other old Marvel live action tv shows are part of the same universe and/or canon. I will just past and copy something from Wikipedia that helps explain the continuity of each universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse_(Marvel_Comics)
  10. I think that Gunn is talking about the movie side, per se. There are not any connections to the movies (aside from Coulson and a few cameos that now all can be lumped into some other timeline in the multiverse), in the movies. He is right to say that because Feige and Joss seemed to have either didn't care and/or forgotten about Joss telling Jed about what was going to happen in AoU. Because they never put a reference (or an obvious reference) in AoU and after wards. There is something called the "Marvel Multiverse" where everything that Marvel has done (TV shows, cartoons, comics, etc...) exist. There is no doubt that AoS is in this Marvel Multiverse (and I think after that are worlds like DC, Star Wars, GI Joe, etc...) are supposed to exist and then there are world like ours where their are no superheroes at all. But aside from that I doubt that AoS is (especially at this point) is canon. The multiverse theory actually makes AoS not canon to the MCU because they are not part of the official main timeline/canon of the MCU (which would be Earth-199999). Edit
  11. Yeah, I would say that is mostly Joss and Jed Whedon talking between them but overall, from what I understand, Joss told Jed all that after AoU was done filming. So the connection was (and still is) AoS responding to the movies. They just got lucky that Joss told them something but you can tell that afterwards, the connections got really small and then they stopped. Clearly there wasn't anything going on and I remember Joss Whedon saying that both sides (the movie side and TV side) barely talked to each other (like the bare minimum) but you can tell by the end of Season 5 they weren't talking to each other and Gunn I would say is more right about what is going on right now. Yes, I agree that he knew/knows more about what is going on and I would trust what he says. That being said I do remember hearing how Feige got all of the main directors together and had them work on Infinity War, together. Like Gunn would've done his part on his characters, and Taika Waititi would've done his part on Thor, etc... But it was all collaborative.
  12. If you are talking about the Turn, Turn, Turn spoilers that was already found out when the showrunners were told that the show they were working on, the movie side already decided to get ride of the organization that they were going to base the said show on, roughly 6 months before the first episode aired. As with the AoU tie-in that was because Joss and Feige told the showrunners of AoS. That was about it as far as communications went. Even Joss Whedon literally said that communication was basically zero. I would take his word on this since, looking back, that makes the most since, IMO. Especially when it came to Season 3 where the show just diverts and jumps the shark, from the MCU and logic, IMO.
  13. Well, if you liked that is fine but Star Trek:: PIcard is a failure as a show.
  14. So nothing official then? Well, I do know that he isn't the only one but I doubt that it will be some time later on. Right now, Amazon is trying to make a Lord of the Ring series and from what I heard, it's plague with problems.
  15. Gunn isn't the final say, that would be Feige and that is where I would say is who can determine what is and isn't canon. Although, with Gunn, he seems to be more open to talk to people (he even told us what IP rights that FOX and the MCU had before the FOX buy-out). So I would say that he is very important but not the final say in anything. That being said, has Feige ever clearly stated that the pre-WandaVision Marvel shows are/were part of the MCU. Very little, if nothing at all. I do remember Joss Whedon talking about this and saying how things are not really connected and there was very little communication between the two divisions., right after he officially left the MCU/Marvel to do other things (after people were complaining about AoU, the whole Black Widow/Hulk romance, Hawkeye having a family, etc...) Look everyone talks about how in the beginning, how each side didn't know what the other side was doing/did. Joss talked about how Feige came to him, while was in the early stages of creating AoS, and that he was asked why he hasn't started working on AoU. Joss said he was making a TV show about SHIELD and Feige literally told him that they already had plans to destroy that organization in the upcoming Winter Solider movie (which by the time the show first aired, was roughly six-months away). I also remember watching a youtube video of the Russo Brothers talking about the same thing but from their perspective. Apparently they eventually stated that the showrunners got a preview of the Winter Solider and they left with their jaws dropping (meaning that they realized that the movie basically destroys SHIELD with literally no way of it coming back). As with the multiple crossovers, and the so called, tie-ins well.... Once the multiverse comes fully in play, in the MCU, then the entire show can be placed in another timeline/reality/branch/variant/universe, etc... Another thing that I noticed was that once Joss Whedon left the MCU the so called tie-ins became much more less meaningful to the story (well the Season 2, tie-in was also not very connected to the main plot of Season 2 of AoS) and we have already seen some major differences starting in WandaVision and now we have the TVA in Loki. Overall, I would assume that Gunn at least knows more about what is happening behind the scenes than others. Sure Gunn doesn't have the final say in what is and isn't canon but he probably knows more about the inner workings than others. Overall, it's really Feige who has the final say and he hasn't really never answered if AoS is canon or not. He seemed to have always avoided given out a definitive answer. Overall, Ms. Marvel may be the final say but Feige doesn't like to do origin stories and their were rumors that the Inhumans were supposed to have a subplot in F&WS but it got scraped (and I don't know exactly how it would've been fitted into the plot. There was also another subplot about some kind of virus outbreak but that was taken out due to the the actual real-life Coronavirus pandemic). Edit Fixed some typos
