With theInhumansseriespremiering at the end of the month andAgents of S.H.I.E.L.Dreturning for its fifth time of year in September , one of the executives at ABC took the time to talk about the divergence between the internet ’s MCU series equate to their show on stream religious service Netflix .

Marvel Studios ' expansion beyond the big screen to the minuscule has gone in two very unlike directions . WithAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D , Agent Carter , and presumably the upcomingInhumansseries , ABC has aimed for appearance that are more cosmopolitan audience ground , with the typical natural process , humor , and big MCU railroad tie - ins that fans of the enfranchisement have fare to have a bun in the oven . WithDaredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , andIron Fist , Netflix has allowed Marvel to use the cyclosis service for darker , bloodier , and more matured account in their own corner of the MCU .

With such a stark contrast between the two types of shows , audience typically wonder how these series are even in the same universe at all . At a Television Critics Association conference , ABC president Channing Dungey talked about the difference between the ABC side of the MCU and the Netflix side while promotingAgents of S.H.I.E.L.DandInhumans , specifically citing the tone of the shows and how they are perfectly place in their several networks :

" So what I would say about that is , look , I am a sports fan of the Marvel shows , and I think that some of what they are doing the piece of work on Netflix is tremendous . The tone and the mode of some of the Netflix show , it ’s not a very ABC step or fashion . I do n’t think that those shows would operate as well on our air as they do work at Netflix , and I think that the right-hand home for those shows is there . For those of you who are fans of “ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , ” that show has continued to grow creatively every time of year , and I feel like last season , time of year 4 , was its strong creatively yet . I am very unrestrained for what we have planned for Season 5 . "

The dissimilar vent for the MCU to expand is good in broaden the kind of mental object that they can create . The movies , while often exalt and grand , are typically all - age affair with a lot of the face that even the most casual person may recognize . This is where your heroes like Spider - Man , Captain America , and Hulk control , saving the humans from massive threats . There are other threats in the domain besides Ultron and Thanos , however , and that ’s where these other series come into play .

For four seasons , Agents.of S.H.I.E.L.D.has not only been capable to tie - in story line to the fallout of the major MCU motion picture but also explored more apart corner of Marvel Comics for the hardcore fans . The show has enclose lesser - known characters and concepts on a smaller budget but maintain the atmosphere of the principal films . The Netflix evidence exist for the grittier heroes of the Marvel universe to get their hands filthy ; with the circumscribed restriction , Punisher can blow people to pieces and Luke Cage can have bumpy sex with Jessica Jones . It ’s gracious to see that these two type of show can co - subsist under the same ceiling , give fan the best of both world .
