I’ve been away from here for a minute (real life has completely taken over, sadly), but tonight marked a momentous occasion and I feel like I should commemorate it here. I finally, finally showed the pilot episode of Agents of Shield to my daughters.
We’ve been going through the MCU movies in order for our weekly family movie night, beginning with Iron Man a month ago. They’d seen some of the later movies in the theater (Captain Marvel, Ant Man and the Wasp) but only bits and pieces of the Phase 1 movies. Tonight, we finally watched Avengers. Which meant they were ready for AoS. (I know technically it should come after Iron Man 3, but I’ve waited long enough!) They already liked Coulson, so it was a natural progression.
To be completely honest, they weren’t totally awestruck by it, but they were very curious. Especially about how Coulson is alive again. And I think they might be up for watching more, so that feels like a win to me.
