Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD
Last night was the
pilot of Marvel’s Agents of Shield. This series picks up shortly after the last
Avenger’s Movie and talks about the difference in the world after the “Battle
of New York”.
In this new TV
series you explore a world where “normal” everyday people realize that things
are not as they were. Now people “know” there are “gods and superheroes”. How
will people respond? Will they accept the new normal where there are those with
greater strength than the average? How will society cope with the knowledge
that creatures can attack from outer space and beyond.
The pilot follows
the just completed team, (they added Ward to the team) as they track down a man
with superhuman strength that saved a women from a fire. They hope to get to
him before others that wish to turn him to evil get to him.
The good hearted
man with superhuman strength is an out of work warehouse worker who injured his
back. He wants to raise his son and do right. Sadly what was done to “help him
heal and be strong again” is deadly! It is deadly not only to him but anybody
around him.
One of my favorite
minor character comes forward into this TV series. Agent Phil Coulson, thought
to have died on the SHIELD airship is alive and well, after a recuperative stay
in Tahiti. What really happened? Questions still remain! Agent Coulson is still
played by Clark Gregg. Agent Coulson also has Lola, his classic car that is not
refurbished to original specks. Don’t touch Lola!
Agent Grant Ward
(Brett Dalton) sees the world in black and white, right and wrong. He is a no nonsense
agent who will do what it takes to get the job done. He rather work along but
has just been pulled into this special team. He is irritating and enduring at
the same time.
The tech team of
Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) and Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker)
are humorous and smart. They are fun to watch outsmart the bad guy and save the
day.
Melinda May
(Ming-Na Wen) is a reluctant member of the team. She would rather stay working
at a desk away from the fight. Asked to be the “bus driver” for the team she
agreed as long as she did not have to fight. But, when push comes to shove she is
can and will join the battle and you want her on your side.
Hacker recruited to
the team is Skye (Chloe Bennet). Tech smart and having shown SHIELD she could
hack their system she is caught and recruited to assist in helping find the
missing superman. After being convinced SHIELD is not the evil government machine
she thought it was, she assists in finding a man who shows superhuman strength before
some bad people could use him for evil plans.
I found this a fun
series. For those that just want an escape with little brain use this is it! I
will be continuing to DVR and watch this show. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a
TV series that challenges my mind and engages my heart by delivering believable
and relatable characters I give MAoS a 5/6. For just plain FUN I give it an 8. With
the combined score of a 7.
I look forward to
seeing what they do with this series and if they will develop the characters
further. This is a great show for the entire family to watch and talk about
right/wrong and situational ethics. Bravo for combining the action with
discussing some ethics.
My Christmas book, “An Angel Remembers 25
Voices of Christmas” is available!!
This is a
collection of 26 short Christmas stories that together bring the amazing events
of Christ’s birth alive. It is my hope that this will help encourage families
to spend 10-15 minutes a day together during the busy holiday season
remembering the true reason for the season.
