キャプテン・アメリカ/ウィンター・ソルジャー
Following the conclusion of season one of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", Mary McNamara at the "Los Angeles Times" praised the connections between that series and the films, stating that "never before has television been literally married to film, charged with filling in the back story and creating the connective tissue of an ongoing film franchise ... ["Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."] is now not only a very good show in its own right, it's part of Marvel's multiplatform city-state. It faces a future of perpetual re-invention, and that puts it in the exhilarating first car of television's roller-coaster ride toward possible world domination." Terri Schwartz of Zap2it agreed with this sentiment, stating that "the fact that ["Captain America: The Winter Soldier"] so influenced the show is game-changing in terms of how the mediums of film and television can be interwoven", though "the fault there seems to be that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." had to bide time until "The Winter Soldier"s release", which led to much criticism.
