No reason to bring them in this early in the show plus neither of them do tv so don't expect them to be on the show for anything other than a season finale. The tv show is goona be seperate from the marvel movies so I wouldn't expect much from the show.
Damn my cuz Bills predicted the sh*t exactly...

Marvel’s Diversity Issue: In both Comics, TV & Films
http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?t=759455
Take, for example, the recently debuted (and cumbersomely titled) ABC series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It follows a black-ops team that’s primarily white (with the exception of Ming-Na Wen and half-Chinese-half-Caucasian Chloe Bennet*). Through its first two episodes, the only black character with more than two minutes of screen time was an angry villain: an unemployed, black single parent, addicted to druglike technology, who kidnapped and manhandled a white woman. The second episode took our heroes to Peru, where the only person of color they really interacted with was a sexy Latina villainess.

ain't got nothing to do with the comics or the movies cause im not a comic book head by any means so im not caught up in who is or isn't in as far as little easter eggs and all of that stuff. im just talking about the show.
the solutions are resolved too quickly...rushed.
doesn't need to be violent to be intense.. just needs to be written better.
it needs to build on to something to keep us interested nothing ties in. so if you missed last week so what cause this week is something rebooted. that's my real complaint.. the story. i don't even need lots of violence or cgi..
and the intensity argument is voided by the fact that scandal is on the same network and #1 about politicians having affairs, people bombing places shooting the president of the u.s. secret cia members being tortured families disappearing and people being killed every damn week...
Scandal doesn't come on at 8 nor does it have toys to sell
and neither should shield.
you know, I would actually argue this point slightly...
cause LOST had one of the most diverse casts in TV history and all the imitators (for better or worse) followed their model. I know the current TV landscape is bleak (although you gotta FX and TNT and TBS credit for having more people of color in front and behind the camera) but it had a a few recent periods of color. A few of the shows that Black people in the lead have not done well. We need more showrunners of color as well as writers and producers. That is why I am so disappointed in SHIELD this was a PERFECT opportunity to do some good work...
but the fact that there are periods shows it hasn't changed...
there aren't periods of white people are there?
and writing and directing is the main thing. if they always tell the stories then we'll always be how we are...
which is why we me you keone need to get on it and tear down the doors.
just read the show's been picked up for a full season order..
ABC Orders a Full Season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This is a no-brainer: ABC has given a full-season order to its new Tuesday hit Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the network just announced. (Despite previous reports that ABC had ordered 22 episodes before the show premiered, an ABC rep says that wasn't the case.) After a huge debut three weeks ago, the Joss Whedon–produced Marvel spinoff has lost a big chunk of its same-day audience. But it's doing very well once time-shifted viewing is factored in, and it's dramatically improved ABC's demo ratings in the 8 p.m. time slot formerly occupied by the Dancing With the Stars results show. S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be a smash, but so far, it's a success. And now it will stay on the air through May.
I thought I was the only one. This crew of so called Agents simply aren't impressive their acting sucks, the story lines are weak. Nothing here works.
c/s
Im watching the third episode and its boring as fuck...

Honestly, I feel asleep on at least 2 episodes so far. But now that The Originals is on at the same time...SHIELD is fucked.
that's what's up.
4 episodes 2 black villains the first an unemployed single dad
the 2nd an ex shield agent who was warned about "being too independent"
she clearly wasn't responsible for her crimes, had a handler and was captured and forced to go out there and do those things HOWEVER she had to go to trial? you serious? that's a first.. usually its welcome home, i thought it would be yes join the team you were one of the best.. but no its ok we know you weren't really responsible and you were being forced against your will otherwise you'd still be with shield.. that's all good and everything but you gotta to to the slammer.
meanwhile they're a bunch of kids in the group.. who out in the field suck horribly..
good job being diverse

They couldn't have the chick on the team. Her spot is already filled by Ming. You already got a bad kung fu chick. You couldn't have 2.
knew they were doing the"rogue agent who must be captured" episode 
next week the "Sunfire" knockoff makes a appearance

somebody mentioned scandal - I only saw like 2 minutes, it seems to be a different kind of presentation, flashing all around; but let's not kid ourselves, crakkkas watch this shit to fantasize about fucking a fine black woman. and that's the desired demographic
aos hits the demographic with sexy (?) chics and corny "missions." desired demo.
they don't give a fuck about black viewers because they know if they just throw a black person in there blacks are preprogramed to watch
aren't we the same people who watched jj coon his way to ratings? watched hemsley in that minstrel show go to the top?

This week's episode wasnt bad,but they need to show more people with powers and have a consistent storyline...
They repeated the first episode tonight. What's going on with that?
Sent from my cellular phone

It's a fun show, not to be taken too seriously
But the white girl is boring the shit outta me. No one want to watch someone hack a computer
next week's episode supposed to tie into Thor The Dark World somehow..
and the 2nd time we saw a black character she's the villain once again.
This is all that chick is about good for, now kill her off please.
Oh, and there's this.
VVVVVVV
I thought the water bottles were a bit much too
second? nah third time. they all were criminals and the fourth black dude was called up to pick up a damn box. lol
seeing a bunch of random black faces isn't really all that important to me. What I hate is that the white girl Sky's (as far as I'm concerned she's 100%) POV is in the middle of every damn situation. It's like everything must be screened and then meets her approval before going forward. Like the last episode when the science chic is dying, we get to hear how SKY hates this so much....Nobody else can even have a moment without this chic in he middle of it. Even after the science chic jumped out the plane. When she was saved Sky comes running in to hug her when she had zero to do with the scene. I got a bad feeling Sky is going to end up in charge of this group or get promoted to second in charge....Seen this shit all the time in the work force. Some undeserving kiss ass gets promoted to the boss.
