I think that in general,Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.gets a bad rap. I think that in its first season – those first 17 or so episodes – left a mark on the series that took time to heal, and some people never jumped back on the boat.

The actor,Adam Driver,has proven himself to be one of cinema’s most interesting performers for his unique disposition and variety of approaches to an equally expansive breadth of projects. No matter the genre or tone, Driver brings a lot to every new role he takes on and fully inhabits every character he builds.

The subsequentRockyfilms, unfortunately, never even come close to this sort of shaggy humbleness, infuriatingly reiterating for five sequels that Balboa is unquestionably the best fighter, and best man, that America has to offer. Which is to say that he’s the best fighter and man in the world....
