"In the comics, you basically have Nick Fury, Maria Hill, a bunch of superpowered people/super spies, one-dimensional gimmicky people. You don't really have a likable everyman, definite improvement to make Shield more relatable."

—Kruger-Dunning

"He's actually the most developed MCU character period thanks to Agents of Shield."

"I love how even though he has, like, three scenes total you can totally tell he’s, like, this satire of someone totally controlled by misinformation haha."

"Him taking a selfie in Venice while scared about the camera falling in the river and then it falling from his hands anyway sums up the comedic style of the trilogy."

Michelle reading in the school cafeteria

"I prefer Michelle over any of the Mary Janes. I think she's a great match for Tom Holland's Spider-Man."

—CloverPixels

"She has great chemistry with Tom Holland and fits the MCU a lot better than the original Mary Jane."

—slaptito

"She turns a lot of the Spider-Man girlfriend tropes on their head, is a good source of comic relief, and makes Peter Parker way more relatable."

—Kruger-Dunning

"I would love a Disney Plus short series where Luis explains each MCU movie. Nothing long, just short like 3–5 minutes or so."

"I wanna see her and Katy Chen get together and just destroy some villain by pure killer insults."

—GANTRITHORE

"Darcy is my favorite, she's so fun. I want a series where she and Jimmy Woo solve superhero mysteries together. Jimmy would be actually investigating it and Darcy would somehow accidentally get involved and help save the day. And they'd get a dog."

—ChazzaHazza

"Ray Nadeem is sooo underrated."

—VTYJ6503

"His growth and character arc were so good. I loved him and the actor did a great performance — easily one of my favorite characters, superheroes included. Surprises me that a normal FBI agent was more interesting than the likes of someone like Yelena, Echo, Kate Bishop, Monica Rambeau, etc."
