I’ve nearly caught up on this show after having only seen the first season a year or more ago. HOLY COW. Season 1 got a lot better as it went, but now it’s really become an awesome show that can stand on its own merits.
I particularly love how they’ve developed the characters–at first, they all fit into standard TV stereotypes and seemed super generic (except Coulson). But over time, every single one of them has completely shattered their mold. The characters I thought were just going to be glorified comic relief (Fitz and Simmons) are now some of my favorites!
Anyway, yeah, I’m surprised there’s not already a topic for this show. Discuss away!
While I really enjoy this show at times, recently I feel that the show is becoming more of a soap opera and less of a drama. One of the things that drew me in to the show was that Coulson was in the show, and that they kept it balanced between fun and serious.
A lot of people gave up during the first season. The writers were basically stalling until the Winter Soldier movie came out so they could start the main story arc. It picks up in episode 16 or 17 if you want to skip ahead.
Started out okay, got a lot better, then I lost track and it died out for me. It’s very inferior in comparison to Daredevil or even DC’s Arrow and Flash.
The thing I find odd is that with the introduction of super humans into the story, it was meant to tie in to the eventual Inhumans movie.
But now that Inhumans has been pushed back/possibly cancelled, what’s the deal with S.H.I.E.L.D.? What’s the goal now? It’s not a tie in, it’s not leading up to anything, and if Inhumans is still on then not for a long, long time.
So, I’m pulling a T.A.H.I.T.I. and am bringing this topic back to life.
So my prediction for the season finale… the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that dies in that quinjet in orbit is actually Malik, and the vision he saw was him being effected by the vacuum of space.
Agents of SHIELD ROCKS. Before I was introduced to Daredevil and my standards were raised to such a high degree, it was my favorite thing in the MCU because I can connect with these characters far more than the ones featured in the movies.
I should do a more in-depth opinion post soon, but then again, we did already do a TTV Talks about it lol
No, not really. I’ll actually be really surprised if S.H.I.E.L.D. gets any sort of reference. I suppose that it’s possible that former General Ross might refer to a ‘fish oil outbreak’ or something, but other than that, it doesn’t affect Civil War at all as far as I know.
Edit:
However, while I still doubt a reference to S.H.I.E.L.D. in Civil War, Civil War will impact S.H.I.E.L.D.
