Marvel Cinematic Universe

I don't normally say this sort of thing... but in this case it really is easy. Make interesting, fun films and people will watch them. It doesn't matter if it's a big name character or someone made up for the movie. If it's good, people will watch. Sadly, to many in the entertainment industry want to play to percentages it seems. They keep re-using characters that are shown popular in other media or other movies, thinking that's the key. A well known character may draw people in opening week... But if the film itself is a dull, lifeless vehicle then it is going to get rightfully slammed. See criticisms over the latest Spider Man film.
The MCU films have worked so far because they have been interesting and fun in and of their own right. Not because the Avengers are in them. And Guardians will succeed if it turns out to be as fun as the previews are making it look. And this is why Agents of Shield has stumbled this first season... The pacing was bad to make it tie in with Winter Soldier, which lead to a lot of weak, dull episodes and gaps in the showing order. Fortunately it ended stronger. Characters seemed to gel together near the end of the season, and those interesting hooks that have been dangling in the first half set up got yanked on. But it could have just as easily fallen flat if the second half hadn't come together.

I know this is entirely anecdotal, but I am pretty much die-hard DC, and in the choice between the DCCU and the MCU, I take the MCU all the way, because the Marvel films have just been better overall.

I love that clip from the previews SO much.
Also re: Agents of SHIELD, I quite liked the finale. Coulson got in so many of his awesome quips and I loved it. Also I am really interested to see what happens based on:
(click to show/hide)1. Patton Oswalt being back as a different dude. Clone? Twin? Whatever reason, I hope he's in it a lot. He's hilarious.
2. The doodling on the wall. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
3. I'm glad they're going to introduce Skye's father. About time we find out more about who the hell Skye is because I got nothing.

I'm so hyped for the movie it's ridiculous
