Now That's Tight


*** Spoiler Alert ***

If you haven't seen 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' and/or 'Agents of SHIELD', stop reading now.


I don't know how may of you watch 'Agents of SHIELD' or catch the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies.  (Honestly, since I have about 1 regular reader, my wife, I actually do.)  But if you are even following it a little; you've heard of their next movie: "The Guardians of the Galaxy"

and are scoffed at the idea of Rocket Raccoon.

Even I was concerned until April 8th's episode of 'Agents of SHIELD'.

That's when, after watching "Cap II" on Sunday, with the fall of SHIELD, the TV show on 2 days later didn't merely reference the movie, but took place during the action of the movie.  And it was probably more intense than the movie, and kept you guessing right up to the last minute.

After seeing that, I don't doubt that Marvel has a map for the movies going out to 2028.

And if you are into the MCU movies, I would urge you to try to find one hour out of your Facebook time to add A.o.S. to you DVR.  They started off dealing with the repercussions of the "Avengers" movies and now are dealing with the fall out from "Cap II".  So it's really woven in.  But they also are dealing with their own plot threads and in house characters.  There are some cross-overs; Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Lady Sif have already made appearances.  And they are digging into the Marvel character roster of their own, and have a long running thread with Deathlok.

You won't regret it.
