Petition for Agent Carter revival hits 50,000 signatures by EAMMON JACOBS on MAY 16, 2016http://heroes.direct/tv/agent-carter-petition/ I love the sentiment but why would ABC aka the mouse house put one of their properties direct to Netflix? Maybe if interest continues in a few years they could bring the show back, it seems pretty flexible when it comes to locations and storylines, but I would be very surprised if it would air anywhere but ABC or one of it's properties.

Well I think it has more to do with personality of the character than anything (also chemistry b/w actors is key but that's a different story). It's easy to ship the fun characters with others.

Sakura12 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Marvel is owned by Disney, ABC is owned by Disney, Marvel has a deal with Netflix. Not saying it will happen, but they are all working together. 1 Link to comment
Starfish35 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah Netflix is already doing other Marvel shows. Although I'm sure it's not that simple. I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, I'd love to have more Agent Carter. On the other, I'm afraid they'd change the feel of the show if they moved it to Netflix, and I'd hate to see it get the Daredevil/Jessica Jones treatment. Right now Hayley Atwell has another show, though, so until that one gets cancelled, she might not be free. Edited May 17, 2016 by Starfish35 2 Link to comment
bijoux May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 KC isn't great but she's still better than as E1 Laurel. Physically it's all still very awkward. 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Netflix has a bunch of different types of shows, I don't see why they'd have to change the feel of Agent Carter just because of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Agent Carter is still in the past and will have nothing to do with those shows. 1 Link to comment
Starfish35 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) Well if they kept the feel of the show the same, I'd be for it. I just don't want it to get the "dark and edgy" treatment. Netflix's Marvel shows just seem to have a certain....brand? Feel? Flavor? I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here. Edited May 17, 2016 by Starfish35 Link to comment

wonderwall May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah... I don't think Speedy/Vixen/Hawkgirl/Katana could hold up their own show. If you add a notable character/actress that could act as the glue that keeps the team together then maybe, but those 4 on their own? I don't buy it tbh because they're all incredibly different people with incredibly different values and goals. Maybe bring a Batgirl into this universe or something...

wonderwall May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Heck, I would LOVE for Iris to be the team leader that brings everyone together. She could use her investigative skills to suss out trouble... That would be wonderful. So Iris/Batgirl/Vixen would be enough for me... With special guest stars like Nyssa, Katana, Felicity, Speedy, Sara, etc. 3 Link to comment

I just gave those names as examples that we have more female hero characters now to play with. There are many characters I think they could use. Characters that haven't been in the Arrow-verse yet. As for the bolded, I think a team (or maybe they're not even a team?) with conflicting values could be really interesting. (And isn't that what they've done on Legends?) Link to comment

Yes, I think once it became obvious that CBS wasn't going to renew Supergirl, WB put the pressure on CW to pick the show up. I don't know if it had much to do with failure or just wanting to keep making money off of Supergirl (DVDs, post views, international sales, merchandise etc). I could be wrong and Pedowitz really wanted CBS's cast-off but somehow I doubt it. 1 Link to comment

Different topic: why are nearly all the metas bad? My guess (and it's just a guess) Supergirl was considered a hot commodity last year, it was offered to the CW first because of Berlanti and Flash/Arrow but when Pedowitz balked at the price tag it didn't matter because there were other fish in the sea. Now, Supergirl is a wounded animal, and other networks weren't interested. You never really hear anything about them shopping Supergirl around, the rumors all centered around moving to the CW. 2 Link to comment

quarks May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 It's sorta the opposite of Spider-Man's "With great power comes great responsibility!" isn't it? In the Arrowverse, it's "With great power comes evil motives! For most people not named Barry and Cisco!" 4 Link to comment

I think it's ridiculous that they make the bat family so off limits except for movies. Seriously, television is doing amazing things as of late and the non powered bat family fighting the occasional meta would be so much cheaper than Legends of Tomorrow or Supergirl. It's just hubris mixed with this insane desire for profit, which BvS shows doesn't always work. 2 Link to comment

Hindsight is 20/20, and knowing that Flash became successful in part because of the famous name would probably have made Supergirl a safer bet over all of the work/money/negotiation that went into LoT, despite whatever ratings Supergirl might have ended up getting on CW. 1 Link to comment

Guest May 18, 2016 Share May 18, 2016 (edited) I have to ask a serious question here. Why do people think that E2 Laurel has finally been done right/treated properly on The Flash? Because all I got from that was a lot of shade, getting hit with a van and then captured. How is that good? Honest question because I don't get it. I mean, she's evil and she's not BC so...huh? If I was a fan, I'd be scratching my head right now. Edited May 18, 2016 by Guest Link to comment
