SAN DIEGO — Rather than just show a clip from the highly anticipated pilot for ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., executive producer Joss Whedon announced to a packed Comic-Con crowd on Friday that he was going to screen the entire episode instead.

Granted, there will be no better audience for this pilot than this assembled pack of Marvel fans, but there was also no mistaking that the episode played like gangbusters. Humor, action, humanity — even a location shoot in Paris! The audience lapped it up.

The pilot episode will air on Sept. 24 on ABC, but if you can't wait that long, here are six major revelations from the episode.
