One of the biggest and most frequent complaints thrown at Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. last September was in regard to the series seeming lack of “punch,” especially in comparison to its heavy hitting cinematic cousins. While a fair criticism, to a point, it often felt like series detractors were forgetting S.H.I.E.L.D. isn’t a film, it’s a TV series, and the way a TV series builds “punch” is through character, not spectacle. The reason being, when the big moment of delivery finally comes, things can remain somewhat small (from a logistical stand-point), yet still feel like they have as much gravity as a feature, and that’s exactly what’s happened with the show’s first season finale.
