One of the most common complaints about the first season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is that the show has not introduced enough super-powered characters or taken advantage of the broader Marvel Universe. This has drawn comparisons to the CW's Arrow, which has used other DC properties effectively. This seems to be changing with the introduction of Deathlok and Lady Sif into the show, and Marvel legend Stan Lee is thrilled. Read More »

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has had some superpowered characters during its brief run thus far in Season 1, including the origins stories of Graviton and Blizzard. The show has not brought in any characters from the major Marvel movie properties (that brief end-of-show tag with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury doesn't count), but that is about to change when a certain Thor and Thor: The Dark World actress descends upon Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Read More »

One of the criticisms of the ABC television series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is that the show does not seem to tie in all that directly with the wildly successful Marvel Cinematic Universe and the overall mythology that the company has created since Iron Man in 2008. There are plenty more criticisms (you can read our thoughts here), but many fans have clamored for more Marvel goodness in the show. According to two of the show's bosses, that could be happening when it returns in 2014. Read More »
