Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. What Can I say about this show? Is it a continuation of the Iron Man movies ? A Continution of Avengers ? Well yes and No. Yes because it's set in the same universe. and No because instead of focusing on the super heroics Of the Super heroes. It focuses on S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm a old Nick Fury fan I remember when S.H.I.E.L.D. Stood for Superme headquarters espionage and law enforcement division. and the stories were filled with old James Bond villains. Or Bad Guys that were not good enough to be on The MAn from The U.N.C.L.E. And When Jack Kirby and Stan Lee went to town chewing the scenery all the way. Now times have Changed. When Marvel filmed Iron Man and I saw it the one scene that got me the most excited was meeting Phil Coulson and introducing us to Shield. I told my Wife I met we meet Nick Fury. Her reply was who ? Anyways when we met Nick Fury and were introduced to the The Avengers initiative. I was happy. When I saw Thor and Captain America I was Very Happy. When I saw Avengers I had a geek fan boy burst of happiness that made me smile for Weeks. They Made the Avengers i said. They brought it to life. Boy was I happy. Then I heard that Joss Whedon and Company wanted to make a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Show. I'm the first one to admit it. I don't like Joss Whedon. And I hated Buffy the Vampire slayer. The TV Series not the movie. The Movie I loved. Anyways When I heard Whedon was set to helm Avengers I was set to be disappointed and I wasn't. He did good there and that alone encouraged me to check out Agents. And I'm glad I did. The Show crackles with Energy. It's like seeing a comic book come to life. The Premise is one I am very excited to see as it acknowledges not only the Events of Avengers but the General Marvel Univere as well. Phil Coulson from Avengers (Yes He Got Better Let's leave it at that ) Phil for his actions in Avengers is given a plum assignment. Explore the world for Any Marvel sighting or people with Super powers and assess the person. If they are good recruit them into S.H.I.E.L.D. If they are bad take them down. They are after all the first line of defence . They also explore the strangest reports that come in like objects of great power. Coulson assembles a team that includes A gung Ho agent named Ward who seems to think action and fighting is the only solution.. Two Scincetists who wanted to go into field work. A pilot who is more then she seems. and a rookie wanna be terrorist named Skye who worked for the group Rising Tide. Keep a Eye on Skye. There is more to her then it seems and her character just might be the one big reason to watch . her relationship with Coulson is almost father- daughter. Coulson is trying to educate her into the fact that the world is not the black and white one she seems to know. It's areas of Grey with a lot of shadows. and Shield works best in the shadows. Her Relationship with Ward allow both of them to grow as characters. And then There is Phil Coulson. Mystery man. and Full time S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. There are mysteries about him. Like what did happen to him after his Encounter with Loki in Avengers ? And what is it that he is not allowed to know ?

Things like this keep me coming back for more. The Show is very much something I'll enjoy. Whereas Arrow is great and fun to watch it's too dark. Agents isn't Dark at least in my books. My kids can watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I'm OK with that where I won't let them watch Arrow. Agents is fun and carries that old A-Team Vibe to it. Plus you get Sam.L. Jackson as Nick Fury. What More do you want ?
