Marves Agents of Shield? Season 1 specifically. Season 2 and on goes into metahuman territory
I hadn't thought of that. I haven't gotten around to watching that series yet
I remember enjoying it and I dont typically care for Marvel
Yeah but the first season seems quite directionless and a slog, I remember enjoying it far more from season 2. However I might be wrong.
It's excellent, but weird.
The first season is monster of the week and fine but nothing amazing. Until it reaches the Captain America Winter Soldier crossover. In that film SHIELD is revealed to be HYDRA, so the same event unfolds in the show. It's awesome.
The second season is a bit directionless. It was supposed to link up with the new Marvel show Inhumans (who are kinda like X-Men, but legally distinct.)
But about halfway through that season and for the rest of the series they largely ignore the rest of the MCU and connected properties, which gives them a lot of freedom and the ability to tell their own stories.
I think a tightly connected TV series and films universe would have been great, as it was when they connected the SHIELD/HYDRA reveal. But since different people were in charge of movies versus TV, and the TV guy sucked, doing their own thing was the best option, and it worked well.
But even when it does, you always have Ming-Na Wen as May kicking butt as a normal human.
I mean, almost all of them kick various kinds of butt as normal humans!
On the flip side of the coin, Maximus from Inhumans
