I love Miles to death but the reason I love him is because he is a little 13 year old kid juggling being a kid and being the new Spider-Man just because he knows how heroic Peter was and it is the right thing to do.
Why make him a 30ish year old dude who will probably join SHIELD? There are other characters that fill that role without completely changing their story!

I bet whoever the superdude is and maybe a couple namedrops and/or the villain(s) of the season will be the extent of the Marvel characters popping up. Outside of potential cameos from the movie casts.
Steaaaaaaam
if this happens I am personally blaming you now that you have breathed life into the fear.
Rock solid characters (most of the time!) good over arcing stories and some fun monsters of the week.
Although Heroes for hire featuring in AoS sounds pretty cool you gotta admit.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
But.. Batman: Brave & The Bold is awesome!
Oh.. wait, you are talking about something else. Nevermind.

Ideally they'd build up a good secondary cast of characters that could crop up as they go. Luke and Danny would be good in that kind of role, as would a lot of the street level guys. I dunno if I'd want to see Daredevil in this, though, but that may be me being too attached to the idea of a Daredevil solo series
Daredevil might not show up.
But I'm certain Matt Murdock will.

This is exactly the kind of thing Whedon writes and has been writing since Buffy days
You're a crook, Captain Hook, Judge, won't you throw the book at the pirate!
Why can't Daredevil show up?
Did Joss Whedon write the pilot? I thought he was only directing.
"Might not" is neither "will not" or "can not".
I don't know if Daredevil as a superhero will show up but I feel confident we'll at least see Murdock making some super hero Lawyering.
My Band "The Wicked Girls"
I'm positive if or when Murdock appears Daredevil will follow, even if it occurs at a later date.

Either way he co-wrote the pilot with his brother and brothers wife.
My Band "The Wicked Girls"
He is. His brother Jed Whedon and Jed's wife are the showrunners. Joss Whedon's a consultant and directs the pilot.
That is some Whedon-ass dialogue though
You're a crook, Captain Hook, Judge, won't you throw the book at the pirate!
he co-wrote the pilot with Jed and Maurissa
I don't know why everyone responded with "Did he even write it" when it was pointed out that is a very Whedon line. Other people use Whedonisms too.
My Band "The Wicked Girls"
Like Unbreakable said, this is going to be a Whedon-ass show.
Only stuff of his I know is Firefly, Astonishing X-Men and Avengers. The one thing I hear most about is "girl power" I guess but its one of those things I don't notice.
Not that it was not the sort of thing he would usually write
Because of course it is

There's also Buffy, Angel, and Dollhouse, which is probably his most inconsistent (I'm being nice) show.
I am aware of those properties but the stuff I listed is stuff I have watched and read.
Is it quirky jokes? Cause those things did have a lot of quirky jokes.
I've always seen Whedonisms being referred to as a character's dialogue being extremely self-aware. Like.. not that they are in a movie aware, but just a little pointed and "real talk" for natural conversation.
A good example of a whedonism is stuff like Tony Stark seeing the guy on the bridge of the Helicarrier playing Galaga. That line may have been ad-libbed by RDJ, but the accompanying clip of the guy nervously going back to playing? Definite Whedon moment.
Also, Whedon has a really big thing for breaking up strong couples in shitty ways.

Not even really "girl Power" so much as he writes girls to have a sense of strength and agency about them that is unusual. The part of that that seems to get on some peoples nerves is he likes to do "tiny waif of a girl with super strength" which I think is less about "girl Power" and more about it being a visual subversion he likes to do. Buffy after all started with the idea "picture the a girl being stalked by a horrible monster but when it attacks instead of what you expect she turns the tables on it and kills it".
Whedonisms as in his way of writing script tend to involve being very flippant and lampshady about things. The line we are talking about is a great example of that. He also likes to do a lot of semi meta-stuff. Episodes in which you take examine the comic relief, or dialogue or music(often by taking it away). He'll do stuff where a character will leave a building and a villain will skulk out of the shadows and start monologuing about his plans only for the character burst back into the room "Is somebody in here?".
Stuff like that.

A Whedonism is defined (by me) as a shitty, unfunny one-liner that is either the reverse of a typical line or some dumb obvious observation, usually to another cliched line
It usually sounds like something that no actual normal, believable human being would ever say in conversation, because it is either too clever, too off-the-cuff, or even outside of the character's usual voice
Black Widow gets two of them in the Avengers and they are both terrible

Stuff like this
Willow: "Buffy, it's not about blame."
Buffy: "Well it feels pretty blame-y!"
Willow: "Or you're being projecting-y".
Spike: "I'm also gonna add 'Y' to the end of my sentence-y... You both make valid points-y."

Keep grinding that Axe and you'll just have a stick.

Though Coulson's "death" wasn't his idea.
And the above Whedonism is extra cringy (see?) because Halle Berry didn't even read it correctly. It was supposed to be flippant and dismissive, not serious and foreboding.
