Marvel Announces 6-Part Agents of SHIELD Spin-Off About Yo-Yo Rodriguez


he series stars Natalia Cordova-Buckley, the Inhuman agent with the ability to run faster than the eye can see before snapping back into place. The announce also makes it sound as though she will be accompanied by several other agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well.

According to Cordova-Buckley in a one-on-one interview, “Slingshot” will explore Yo-Yo’s adventures between Seasons 3 and 4. “In ‘Slingshot,’ we’re going to see a lot of her anger and her pain come out in regard to certain injustices that have been done to her and her family,” she explains. “But at the same time, she never loses her humanity. She doesn’t let the anger blind her.”



There's a small teaser in the link, but here's her old bio I found.

Y'all missing the big picture behind this. Marvel is said to have a lack of hispanic characters so first they put a Mexican Ghost Rider as the selling point of this season of AOS now they are giving their only other hispanic character a spin off miniseries.

Disney is making it clear they're not leaving anyone out, they want everyone's money.

Marvel has been accused of white washing the fukk out of almost every Asian character that should have appeared in their movies so making an Agent May show would be smart and actually feature a character that people care about.
And if they are really serious about the Hispanic situation then make a Ghost Rider show instead of doing a quick (and cheap) show about a character no one was looking for.

A full Ghost Rider show worth watching would be expensive as hell. They probably wanted to see the reaction to the character before investing that much. This show is something they could do with a low effects budget to get something out there.

As for the Asian representation thing they might feel they have that covered with May and Daisy on agents of Shield, Wong in Dr. Strange and the Hand in Daredevil. They can do better in that area but the lack of Hispanic representation was more glaring.
