In terms of quality, there are valid criticisms that can be leveled at the vast majority of the studio’s filmography. Disney has a particular brand they love to market, one stubbornly resistant to the progress of time.

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Earlier this year, Agents of SHIELD found itself on the bubble again, this time for season six. It’s become something of an annual tradition to watch the MCU’s flagship, small-screen show fighting for its life.
