Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D: 6 Ups And 4 Downs From Season 2
9. Age Of Ultron Tie-In - Down
While the smaller character appearances from elsewhere in the Marvel canon were a success, the same cannot be said of its big movie tie-in this year. Connecting to The Winter Soldier in season 1 was a turning point for the show, the time when it started to get really interesting and feel like you were watching something Marvel, as opposed to just a generic show about secret agents. The film it was a part of this year was even bigger, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but it certainly wasnt better. The mention that it was Coulson responsible for the Theta Protocol and the helicarrier that saved the Avengers towards the end of the movie was a nice moment for any fans of the film wondering how that happened, but ultimately felt like a forced moment and one that didnt really serve any purpose for the show.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
