Im all for it


**** those stupid fake intense mini-shocking/cliffhanger moments that come with that stupid sound and the stupid commercial breaks of ****
 
Nah I think for the type of show this is, I think it should stay on ABC. However the spinoff shows might be more Netflix/cable worthy.
 
I don't think the "real time" tie ins are more valuable compared to the opportunity to tell a tight, straightforward story with a sound beginning, middle, and an end. A Netflix style approach would force the writers to tighten everything, agree on a direction and tempo to the build up to the climax, and basically separate the wheat from the chaff. One of the reasons Agent Carter was so well received was that it was basically a Netflix type show revealed over 8 weeks, unencumbered by MCU developments outside of the show.

I think two 10 episode dumps every six months on Netflix could still incorporate movie developments yet allow for a more focused narrative. October 2013, 10 episodes to set up Agents of Shield, maybe deal with a dedicated opponent behind the scenes to lead to a finale (develop AIM better than IM3 did). June 2013, 10 episodes that deal with aftereffects of CWS vs. Hydra. October 2014, 10 episodes to deal with Kree on earth and Inhumans. June 2015, 10 episodes to deal with aftereffects of Ultron and continuing slowburn consequences of Inhumans...October 2015, set stage for Civil War, ect. Doing all of this with tight, tight narratives, covering much of the same ground as the ABC show has, just...focused and thus better.
 
Not everyone HAS Netflix whereas as long as you have a tv and digital antenna, ABC is FREE!
I don't want this.
 
There's also a question of how many Marvel shows Netflix can even have before it stops being profitable to make them. A lot of us want to see lesser known Marvel heroes get their chance to shine on Netflix in the same way as Daredevil. Do we really want to move Agents of SHIELD, which is doing fine where it's at and liked for its "real-time" format, to be moved to Netflix instead of producing a new series for Blade or Punisher?

I do agree with Osiris that the show needs to have tighter writing, but there's been plenty of amazingly written shows before Netflix came out. The problems with the writing are the writing. Not the delivery method.

Also, I need something to distract me while I wait for the next Avengers movie or Daredevil season.

Nope, leave Nelfix for Punisher, Moon Knight, White Tiger, etc (would LOVE a Spider-man Netflix show) but leave AoS on ABC.
 
No (and I'm not going to think about it any more). I love Netflix, but it's a different style and, sometimes, both are good. Agents of SHIELD benefits from being set in a real time moving Marvel universe. The end of last season with The Winter Soldier could not have happened on Netflix.

In addition, there's still room for paced episodic storytelling. It's worth introducing a concept and make you wait a week discussing at the water cooler what it means before they show it to you.

Agents of SHIELD isn't Daredevil. And that's OK. There's room for both.

I think this post sums up my views. If the MCU is going to expand and not implode due to is own mass, it needs to push in different directions, using different forms of televisions and different styles. They have the ABC (channel four here in the UK) to push the relatively light hearted weekly Shield (+ spin offs) with tie-ins, and with Netflix they have the more adult stream that suits a binge watching from those prepared to pay for it. I prefer the former (but enjoyed Daredevil) others will prefer the latter, there's room for both. Don't move Shield to Netflix, start preparing a second series of Daredevil for Netflix instead.

I agree with pretty much everything here. I also like the fast pacing of AoS more than the slow build of DD (so far -- only just watched episode 5).
