Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is een hele coole serie, maar het is nogal.... freak of the week saai en lijkt nergens heen te gaan. Arrow die ook gebaseerd is op een comic, houd de fans zeer tevreden. Daarom heeft Uproxx dit artikel geschreven met tips wat Marvel's show kan leren van Arrow. Dingen zoals:


References, Dammit

Most of Arrow's comic book references are blink-and-you'll-miss-it gags. Characters will refer to Iron Heights Prison in passing, somebody will mention S.T.A.R. Labs in dialogue, you'll see a nod to this character or that one. It's minor stuff that's purely fanservice and has no real bearing on the show itself, but it both helps to establish the wider universe and it makes fanboys gleeful.

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. barely hints at a wider universe out there; you never see news stories about a mysterious vigilante in a white cloak beating up muggers and you never hear about somebody being sent to The Raft. For a show that's explicitly part of the Marvel Universe, it's not doing much to communicate that.
