Just thought I'd weigh in on some things, although it's quite late:

Perhaps Marvel doesn't own the TV rights to all their characters, but the Animation rights. Which could be why Spider-Man and Wolverine can meet on a Marvel animated show, but not on Agents of SHIELD. Don't quote me on this. It's just a thought.

I miss Spectacular Spider-Man so much. Put it this way: Ultimate Spider-Man is not good. What is Loeb even doing?

I think though that TASM could fit nicely into the MCU. I'm not saying that's what they're doing. Because they're definitely not, right now. But the way things stand now, it could fit in after the Avengers sometime, or even after some sequels. Besides, it would be a much simpler merge than any kind of merge with the shambles that is the X-Men continuity.

As for Daredevil, he doesn't have any mutant powers, so I think for the moment, he works better in the MCU. I'm glad he's over at Marvel. This is, of course, assuming his show will be MCU.

But as for Agents of SHIELD, I was impressed by the storytelling in the last two episodes. I hope they keep it up. I don't mind a bit of villain-of-the-week stuff happening, particularly in the early days of a season (although I would like to see some things carry over into arc-kind of things), but I need to see character arcs progressing through these stories. And we're getting that at the moment; I just want them to keep it up.
