How about those Marvel movies lately, huh? They were kind of alright! Good even! Phase 2 started with a bang as Iron Man faced off against the nefarious might of…Trevor, and continued on a mopier Thor, a Captain America movie where Samuel L Jackson wasn’t the baddest mother-lover around and an awesome mix that hit all the right notes.

Even though the show slowly ditched the monster of the week concept for the longer-running alien invasion angle, there were still some episodes that had me too scared to turn off the lights. Especially that damn episode with the …
