キャプテン・アメリカ/ウィンター・ソルジャー
The way that the series is affected by the events of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has been called "miraculous", with Terri Schwartz at Zap2it writing "the fact that the movie so influenced the show is game-changing in terms of how the mediums of film and television can be interwoven", while Mary McNamara of the "Los Angeles Times" stated that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." "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." The fact that the series also depicts the rebuilding of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the MCU has also been highlighted, with Merrill Barr, reviewing "Beginning of the End" for "Forbes", saying "what Marvel's daring to say with this season finale is 'everything we do matters, and you need to pay attention to all of it.'"
