Just watched the pilot tonight. What did you guys think?
{Possible spoilers ahead}
I only watched it because it's Joss Whedon and because I love Ming Na Wen. I've seen most of the Marvel movies (not Iron Man 3 yet), and while I like Agent Coulson, I don't like him as much as serious Marvel lovers seem to. I liken him to that person in the office that you run into once a month in the elevator--you exchange pleasantries and it's all nice because you never see him. Your affinity is based on lack of knowledge.
So, not being a Marvel-head, I wasn't really impressed with the show. Oh, and I also used to watch Heroes. I kept thinking, "Yeah, Heroes did it better, with more shipping and fangirling/fanboying potential, and with a smaller budget."
If the 2 shows had debuted simultaneously, maybe I'd think differently, and surely Heroes really tanked in the final season(s). But I still couldn't help thinking I'd seen this show done before, and more interestingly.
