The Un-Marveling Of Marvel

As you can tell by now, quite sadly I might add, I am not a fan of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. highly anticipated TV series. It's not that its bad, just disappointing. For every two minutes of genuine entertainment, there is about 15 minutes of sleep inducing dialog from characters I can barely give a lick about.

Fast forward to this past Monday and Thor:The Dark World. I slept through half of it. What's going on here? Then Avengers was great; Iron Man 3 was decent; Agents disappoining; Thor - zzzzzzzzz. 

At least the preview of Captain America: The Winter Soldier was quite solid and promising and the Marvel One Shot short film of Captain A's main squeeze Agent Carter was fantastic. Leave it to Captain America to save the world again.

Marvel One Shot - Agent Carter - A 14 Minute Lesson in Superior Female Butt Whipping

Perhaps the true jewel of the Iron Man 3 Blu-Ray set is the inclusion of Marvel One Shot's Agent Carter. Following his supposed death in a plane crash, Captain America's love interest has moved on with her life and become a field agent in the origins of Howard Stark's S.H.I.E.L.D. Constantly put in her place by the male dominate agency, Carter picks up a phone call one night that prompts her into action. And its action she delivers.

There is more action and interest in the 14 minutes of Agent Carter than the last 60 minutes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Perhaps Marvel may need to rethink this thing out.
