 Posted: Sat, 10th Oct 2015 10:21 Post subject: Damage Control [MCU + ABC comedy show] |
|
 |
| Quote: | The latest revelation states that ABC – who house both Agent Carter and SHIELD – are developing a show based on Damage Control.
It’s a particularly pertinent decision right now, since everything in the MCU seems to be shaped by the idea of collateral damage, rather than normal people thanking superheroes for not allowing them to be killed horribly. Apparently, the tax bills and human cost of saving them is so great that they want regulation and accountability.
Damage Control follows a team of power-free contractors who clean up after superhero battles. Sort of like Marvel’s other companion series Powers, but without the law enforcement concept that made those comics so compelling. They’re the Super Janitors, in other words.
And unlike everything else in the MCU, this is being planned as a half hour comedy show, written by Daily Show/Colbert veteran Ben Karlin and Parks And Recreation’s David Miner, who will provide lols based entirely on the idea of probably disgruntled workers picking up the pieces after elite heroes fly in and smash the hell out of the place.
It’s likely to cross-over with Agents Of SHIELD as an easy creative decision, but whether we see characters from Damage Control appear in movies in future (and vice versa) might be a more complex issue. Had this development happened a couple of years ago, it would have made sense for presence in Civil War, but that’s clearly too close on the horizon now.
This is by no means absolute confirmation that the show will definitely happen: after all, we’re still all waiting for Most Wanted to really kick off. But at least Marvel are looking to diversify their model, and they’ve already seen what comedy can do in the main MCU, so it is an exciting prospect all the same. |

They seems to have their own comic and have quite a history with shield and during Civil War in comics ( http://www.comicvine.com/damage-control/4060-4951/ )- so it might have been nice to place the series around the release of Civil War - if it gets past the pilot

A second comedy MCU series was also teased to be in development.

| Quote: | | Before the panel was over, Lee made a point to remind everyone that ABC would be looking for laughs in the MCU with the single-camera comedy series Damage Control, before mentioning that there was a second comedy in the works – though no specific details were mentioned. |
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

I'm watching S03E14 of AoSHIELD and Daisy just namedropped "Damage Control" as a branch of SHIELD. Setting it up I guess.
