I don't think any of the SHIELD characters are that annoying. But I'm not really enthralled by the show either.

I really like agent coulson but that's less because of the character and more because of clark gregg, who I've adored since Iron Man (and the West Wing, for that matter)
I liked the most recent Shield ep, but I'm still here-and-there on it. If the Thor ep is good enough I'll stick around for a little bit longer, otherwise I might just end up forgetting its even on. I just hope the show continues to find its footing.

I watched a couple of eps of Elementary and I would say outside of the Sherlock Holmes shtick its your basic procedural. Except it puts a greater focus on the characters instead of the crime of the week.
I was really impressed by how well theyhandled character development inThor 2:
Thor has finally worked all of the brash young Viking out of his system (there was some left in Avengers, see: when he fights Tony), Jane has become more confident and prepared and Selvig has gone from a straight laced skeptic to a blissfully mind controlled drone to a loopy genius who has been changed by the shit he has gone through.
I was cracking the hell up through a good bit of it. This movie knows how to have some damn fun. Mjolnir shooting off into space and the creature from the Frost Giant's realm being portal'd in... Almost as great as the Battle of New York.
Take lessons, DC. Have some fun with your movies.
And I was delighted with
Loki's "ta-da!" as they enter the Dark Elves' world.

Mjolnir trying to keep up with Thor was anice touch and Loki really had so many good lines (including the Cap cameo)

Thor 2
I enjoyed it, especially after I rationalized that redemption for Loki just isn't a THING because not having a backup self-serving plan is not in his nature.
I think I loved Mjolnir flying aroun getting confused entirely too much. Have that hammer some personality.
Also Kat Dennings calling it "myur myur" again was fantastic. I know she is only there for comic relief but she is so delightful in this movie.
And yes Frigga kicking ass was great. I REALLY enjoyed that

Thor 2
I think the reason that Frigga didn't come off as fridged for me was that looking back, it seems that she was really aware of what was going to happen and making a concious choice to go through with any consequences. She wasn't surprised or taken down by an offhand blow, but went in there with her head held high. Coupled with the funeral, there is a real sense of weight, rather than coming off as just a bridging scene like so many other films.
Also, Thor's exit to go put down the prison break is probably one of my favourite bits in the film, just for the contrast of chatting in civvies -> up up and away!

Yeah
Its become something of a buzz word lately but both Frigga and Sif have a real sense of agency about them. Yes both characters have motives relating to the male protagonist but they never seem defined solely by that relation.

Elementary is a nice, entertaining show. It isn't amazing but it isn't terrible either. It probably gets shit on a lot because people think it is coping Sherlock, which is crazy.
Because besides the shows featuring Sherlock and company in the 21st century they are radically different.
Elementary does a lot of interesting things with the Sherlock mythology, is really character focused, and is primarily a show about Watson's transformation through Sherlock.
Also its portrayal of minorities is pretty good too!
I kinda assumed they were using a female Watson so they could do a multi-season will they - wont they romance thing but it sounds like they're not doing that so the show's already a lot better than I was expecting.

way you guys were talking i thought it'd be a great episode
it is honestly super dumb
think Fitz/Simmons are great characters and if you don't like them you're hitler
They were shallow comic relief, which is all I needed them to be
I watched elementary today, and i'm fairly sure that show only exists because Sherlock Holmes is big again and Lucy Liu is attractive.
Because that show is terrible.
Bad opinions are bad.
Also I've heard good things about Elementary?
you are way out of line, sir
Everything I've heard about it has me convinced I'll enjoy it
I will admit from what i have seen it is a lot better then the pitch i was given.
That said i still don't think it's very good.
But this is a world where CIS has been on the air longer than i can remember, so what do i know about good TV?
Die CSI Scum
I just meant overall, and in comparison to other franchises in the MCU
And how up it is from the original Thor
I'm sure it will be a success, but just how much of one
i had originally typed NCIS and then went back and half fixed it.

Yeah
Elementary is great
I thought he was great in the original, but this time, especially in the first half, he almost sounded bored.

What?
I don't remember this happening.
I remember Sherlock saying he was okay with it and Watson saying she was attracted to him.
see that's how I thought he was in the first one
I like Elementary for their interpretation of Sherlock. (Although I like both of their interpretation of watson)
I'd just wish there would be less episodes of, someone is murdered, better solve it, as that is not just what Sherlock was about.
