    Hate to say it, but while I enjoyed the show well enough, I won't miss it all that much. On the plus side, the characters will get a final appearance in 'The Runaways', so that's something. One assumes Runaways probably won't be getting a 4th season. Is that the last of the Marvel shows then? It's kind of impressive how many in the last year alone have ended, one way or another.

    This all actually makes me glad AoS got a chance to do a proper final season before the change of the guard.

    Eh, the Neil Gaiman episode was a hoot.

    Cloak and Dagger at least ended on a note of "If this is the end, it's a fine end". All the loose threads were wrapped up, all the villains defeated and them leaving town together serves as a good ending.

    It's the last live action show, but there are still the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man animated series on Disney XD.

    Runways is due to come out in December, and AOS won't be out til next year. If Runaways doesn't get another season, then Agents Of Shield will be the last of the current live-action Marvel shows.

    Both first, and last. That's impressive.

    That said, as far as we've been told, Helstrom is still happening. They just made the big cast announcement a few weeks ago.

    Probably. At a certain point all the whining, petulant fanboys probably made him throw up his hands just to shut them up.

    Probably the situation, as he's seeing some are being incredibly irrational in going on and on attacking him for his view of superhero movies.

    Longtime Marvel producer Trinh Tran talks to screen rant about Hawkeye. She says that the series will explore Clint's backstory while being heavily influenced by Matt Fraction's run on the comics. I guess we can assume that the Fraction influenced parts will be the backstory, from before he hooked up with Laura.

    I would have to imagine it's the editors and stuff simply because enforcing drug tests for freelance writers who sometimes live in other countries seems all but impossible.

    Probably. No sense in fighting a winless battle.
