    For those who watched the special; does it spoil Winter Soldier? I know who WS is, I mean specifics of the movie itself.

    That was the biggest "spoiler"...they don't seem to be trying to keep it secret anymore.

    I don't think so. No real specifics. Just some snippets is all.

    It only spoils who WS is. It shows quite a bit from the movie that I haven't seen yet, but it doesn't spoil the end.

    Nothing too bad. The biggest spoilers are all related to The Winter Soldier, what happened to him, etc. I sort of tuned out as a precaution there and I don't know the details of the comic to know if things are different. Otherwise, there's some discussion of who the characters are and what their themes are without being dramatic.

    If you want to mute the five minutes of TWS discussion, it might be a good idea if you're extremely cautious.

    The Big Secret will probably be "Who sent the Winter Soldier?" The answer to that one will be kept under wraps for as long as possible. They'll tease out just enough to get the bums into the seats at the cinema.

    ^ Nope. They spoiled THAT on the Winter Soldier preview on the Thor: The Dark World Blu-Ray.

    I guess I'll watch the special and just fast-forward through the WS scenes.

    How much did they show of GOTG?

    I won't be watching that normal-format DVD for a little while, then. Because the preview's bundled with that edition too.

    Nothing really beyond what's been in the trailers, I think, aside from some new brief shots of various characters, like a close-up of Nebula that I don't recall seeing before.

    There was a decent picture of Glenn Close and a few more shots thatI hadn't seen before, but nothing too
    much.

    The Ant-Man footage looked to be from the test footage too.

    Honestly, I thought the biggest spoilers were from the Marvel One-Shots, of which I've only seen 2 of the 5 so far.

    So regarding Agents Of Shield, it looks like next week, March 25, they're replaying T.R.A.C.K.S, the train episode.

    Then on April 1 we'll get a big Deathlok episode that they were advertising tonight. They also seemed to show the Clairvoyant, that guy sitting in a wheelchair staring at a bunch of tv screens?


    And honestly, sitting in a chair like that doesn't completely rule out the MODOK theories that some folks have had.


    But I wouldn't say it rules out the Leader either.


    But all the scenes they showed tonight may not have been from the next episode. I got the impression Glenn Talbot (Pasdar) wouldn't show up for another few episodes.

    But that's the double standard, not reality. May is as at least as tough as Ward and has had the same job for at least as long, so if she were portrayed consistently it wouldn't be such a big deal to her either. Ever read Friday? But, of course, politically, it couldn't be portrayed that way on TV.

    In the lap of squalor I assure you.
    Red Leader or Green Leader?

    Marvel is owned by Disney, who owns Star Wars, so they can make all the Star Wars jokes they like.

    Right here buddy.
    They also showed Drax, concept art of Hulk verses Iron Man's Hulk Buster, concept art of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, concept art and a 3d render of Ultron (along with a set shot of what I assume is him, Hulk, or Vision smacking a truck), and a shot of the bus landing on a carrier.

    Was this all during the same time we saw Glenn Talbot? If so, I completely missed literally everything else. :(

    Anyone have any screenshots of the possible Clairvoyant?

    Which I'm glad I didn't watch but might have if I literally hadn't checked the thread while dinner cooked cause I had gotten it that day you mentioned it. Plus, you're the ONLY person on 4 sites I check that even gave that heads up. I in turn passed it along in case others might be like me and not wanting to know.
    So, thanks again.

    Watching those old clips of Coulson reminded me of how much I liked the character then and how much I dislike him now.
