If all the Avengers are in each Avenger's movie, then wouldn't be very special when Avengers 2 comes out. We are getting Black Widow and Cap together.

The TV show could be a continuing teaser for the movies, a la the reference to "a hammer" when talking about the unidentified objects.

Someone tell me not to panic about the ratings drop from the first week to the second week.

Agents was up against Ziva's departure over on NCIS--which I didn't watch and haven't watched online yet.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
That's kind of my point: if all the Avengers show up in Marvel's Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D., then it wouldn't be MASHIELD, it'd be an Avenger's TV show. I could see, based on the title, SJ or JR making a guest appearance, seeing as they are or at least were agents of SHIELD. And maybe there will be moments where it would make sense for another Avenger to show up. Maybe we'll get that logical moment with a guest appearance/cameo, but maybe we'll just end up with a verbal reference, either due to scheduling/budget constraints, or to contraints dictated by the premise. I'm not watching the show for glimpses of Chris Evans or RDJ (I'm watching for Clark Gregg's cheekbones).

I imagine some larger name will show up for sweeps or the midseason cliffhanger.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just had a chance to watch it. I liked i just fine. I'm ok with the team. I think the blanker characters just haven't been filled out yet. I can keep loving it for Coulson and May alone, the the geek twins are terribly cute!
And bonus Sam Jackson! What's not to love!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We are getting Black Widow and Cap together
Because she'll never get a tier 1 movie (prove me wrong, Marvel, I dare you! Also use the same standards you used for Captain America, for Christ's sake). She's not a draw of Avengers--it's Cap and Thor and primarily Iron Man. This is a sop to the people who wanted Elektra to not be so horrendously awful.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
I like ScarJo as Black Widow more than I've ever liked her in anything else, but that's a low bar since in general, she is not my cup of tea. (Can't let my Lost in Translation hate go. Never forget!) So, I'm actually really OK with her not showing up on my shiny, new TV show. I suppose I wouldn't mind Jeremy Renner. He's usually a good time. But I also don't think it's essential. I'm cool with getting to know these new people and so far the name dropping and sly references are clever rather than cloying. I'm really glad that there are no supes floating around. I think it works from a story standpoint, and I'd also be worried about winding up with lousy effects on a TV budget.
