Daredevil
The terminus " Marvel Cinematic Universe " candidly just scratches the surface of the ever - expanding media empire that Marvel Studios has been modernise since 2008 . Thanks to the innovative succeeder of the firstAvengersfilm a few years back , they were able-bodied to branch out into the realm of television , tote up two ABC show ( Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.andAgent Carter ) and a full ticket of Netflix original series ( starting withDaredevil ) to their repertoire of comic al-Qur’an adaptations .
Still , the films stay the top precedence ( as bear witness by the massive marketing campaign for this week’sAvengers : Age of Ultron ) for Marvel , even if they have to balance out multiple aspect to keep everything link and cohesive . It ’s such an task for the behind - the - view crew that one could see how thing could get a little tense at Marvel . According to Joss Whedon , there was in fact a schism between the movie people and TV people at the studio .
While speaking withIGN , theAge of Ultrondirector revealed that there were some none too pleased with the foundation ofAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , particularly with what it mean for the Agent Coulson character ( who was seemingly killed by Loki inThe Avengers ) and the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization itself :
" I call back actually the moving-picture show people were a little bit cross about the television set show . They were sort of like ‘ Well you’re able to have this but not this . And this but not that . ’ It ’s complicated enough as it is without me adding another layer of complicatedness . We also created a television show call S.H.I.E.L.D. right before they made a movie where they destruct S.H.I.E.L.D .. So everybody ’s give birth a GREAT metre ! "
Though Whedonhas articulate in the pastthat Marvel was never expecting him to boil out a video programme as part of his hand to supervise Phase 2 of the MCU , they have done a great job of balancing it all out . Yes , there were some speed swelling in the other expiration , but season 2 ofAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.has generated a strong response ( while teasing a futurity ofInhumansfor Phase 3 of the films to build upon ) andDaredevilearning kudos for seamlessly combiningAvengersreferences with an origin story for a Modern hero . While there might have been some butting heads when it was all first annunciate , these years it looks like the surgical operation is running much more smoothly now that they ’ve had some meter to work it out .
It will be interesting to follow this face of the MCU as we move along to theInfinity Warthat ’s happening in the nigh future . Regarding the subject of Coulson , Whedonhas maintained throughout his press tourthat as far as the movies go , the agent remains at rest because of what that emotionally mean for the Avengers team - and that the films are made for audiences that see only those projects of the franchise . Theoretically , this means that a viewer can go into each Marvel feature with limited cognition of the TV shows and still enjoy it .
However , there may come a day when all the forces of the universemust unite against a common opposition , which would throw a monkey spanner in Whedon ’s programme . As the franchise continues to grow , there will be more pressure on Kevin Feige and caller to keep everything in a way of life that any viewer can turn on a Marvel movie and get a kick out of it .
