What we want Marvel to develop as TV shows

Earlier, we received news about an upcoming TV shows being made by both Marvel and Disney.
You can read my post about it here: Marvel/Disney TV series.

The following is what I think the TV Show should be:

THE PUNISHER

The Punisher is a rather likely choice, as the show would be grounded and realistic.
Also they could make it like "The Blade series", where he is hunting one man and has to almost be a detective!
This could be a choice to introduce not well known Marvel characters and maybe cameos from well known characters such as The Kingpin!
This shouldn't really be a very high budgeted series.



DAREDEVIL
Daredevil could make it as TV show, but I think this is a very slim chance.

Like my Punisher theory, this shouldn't be a overly high budgeted TV series and hopefully won't be related to the 2003 movie titled as the same name!
While we're on the same subject, rumor has it that if Fox doesn't have a Daredevil reboot in productions this Fall, then they lose the rights to Marvel, so what better way to bring Daredevil back then on the small screen.






DEADPOOL


Like I said with Daredevil, this could make it but it has a very slim chance; and like The Punisher, Deadpool is all about artillery and weapons so it might be interesting.

Also, this will give people who are not familiar with Deadpool to see him with the old red and black, unlike the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

This could be both action and comedy for those who have a taste for Wilson's dark sense of humor.






HEROES FOR HIRE


Whether it be the Heroes for hire just featuring Luke Cage (Power Man) and Iron Fist or the one with Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Black Cat .etc, it would truly be an epic TV show.

I think the best thing to do for the show, would to maybe make the costumes a little bit more realistic, and maybe make it a tongue and cheek/grit.

As much as I would like the team with multiple members, I think that the one featuring Luke and Iron Fist would be the only one which would really work.

MARVELS




To be honest, this one would probably be one of the best TV show to produce.

"Marvels" is a four issue comic book which focuses on the normal citizens and shows what it's like through the public eye of having heroes and villains around their beloved city: New York.
The main characters name is Phil Sheldon and they could use the name of that character for the show. It all took place from the 30's to the 70's and focused on the impact on the ones who don't need to put on a mask.

This idea will be partially told in the upcoming short "Marvel item 47".
It will take place after The Avengers had defeated the Chitauri and Loki. A couple finds a leftover Chitauri weapon and have to decide what to do with it.
This will really show the effect that superheroes have on the public.

I think this would be one of the best as there will probably never be a film about the view of superheroes through the public eye.

THE AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D


I had said that the previous ideas were one of the best, but I have to say that this one IS the best.
Who wouldn't want to see spies, guns and a Helicarrier every week.

The only problem with this idea is getting the actors to play the parts and if it is to be too big of a budgeted show; but imagine the possibilities, secrets being revealed, hints to Marvel characters which haven't been mentioned, hints to upcoming films, what else would you want?

I wouldn't mind any of these, but what would you prefer?
