Agents Of Shield: 5 Ways To Improve The Show
1. Occasionally Bring In The Marvel Universe
This is a show about the everyday agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and not the many superheroes and villains of the Marvel universe. Fan expectations of grand character appearances from the Marvel movie universe arent going to happen very often, at least at this point. Whether thats due to budget restrictions or Marvel wanting to keep characters for the big screen, fans need to realize theyre not going to often have Hulk coming in unexpectedly to smash some bad guys.
Occasionally though, Marvel should attempt to bring in the heroes that arent exactly up for big screen adaptations at this point. Right now, the show plays like a more lighthearted X-Files, which is plenty to bring in big audiences. But to keep those eyeballs interested, bringing in characters like Luke Cage could be a huge bonus for the studio, and based on fan reaction, could be a good way to gauge film interest for their characters.
That being said, Marvel doesnt need to go overboard with any cameos they bring in. At the end of the second episode, we were treated to a surprise appearance from Nick Fury that didnt amount to much other than a humorous line from Coulson about a fish tank. Thats about all we need for now. Cameos that are great fun for the fans, but dont bog down the fact that this is supposed to be a show about the regular guys at S.H.I.E.L.D. saving the day.
So that's what I think. What do you think? Feel free to comment!
