So the connection is there.<br /><br />Perhaps they're unable to use certain properties in case the movies (or other TV shows in development) want to use them.<br /><br />I think that if the characters and stories were uniformly great and not a white bread version of Torchwood or whatever, no one would care how close they actually got to the Marvel Universe. But since they're not, we're looking for other things to justify the time we spend watching it.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-42533754346704383372013-11-21T14:14:38.138-04:002013-11-21T14:14:38.138-04:00This is my big problem with Agents of SHIELD, too ...This is my big problem with Agents of SHIELD, too -- the only thing Marvel actually owns is the "SHIELD" name.<br /><br />Hell, the guy who was the focal point of the pilot who was obviously Luke Cage even had a different name. I don't really see the point, what does ANY of this have to do with Marvel?
