Agent Palmer

This past weekend thousands of my fellow geeks descended upon San Diego, California for the 2015 Edition of the Annual San Diego Comic Con. And while I did not attend, I kept a keen eye on my Twitter feed.

Unlike most Comic Conventions, San Diego Comic Con isn’t just about the comic books; their artists and writers, it’s become an annual launchpad for movies and television announcements and debuts.

Here’s my recap of the ten things that caught my eye from this year’s Con!

It’s all connected and it’s all brilliant. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season two ended with a bang and opened as many doors for season three as it closed on season two.

Before I get into the fangasm post you’re about to read of my thoughts on season two, I must say that I was one of the few who thoroughly enjoyed season one. I didn’t find it slow, I just thought it was great with the added bonus of really connecting to the larger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially with what they did to lead in to the setup of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and in it’s aftermath.

Is it Avengers: Age of Ultron best movie yet? No, I don’t think so… Is it the most important movie to date in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Yes, it is and more importantly it will be and that is exactly why I don’t think it is the best.

I enjoyed it, it was very entertaining, but it just seems like as a film it was trying to do too much.

I wasn’t expecting too much when entering the fandom of Agent Carter on January 6, 2015, along with scores of others. I was a little upset that after a big reveal on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there would now be a long break before getting back to Skye/Daisy/Quake, or whichever you prefer to call her.

However, I was expecting to see the founding of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I was wrong.

There, I said it.
