Superhero films would be improved a thousandfold if only they'd stop having each and every plot revolve around some large-scale, city-or-world spanning crisis. Smaller, low-key storylines have worked well for the comics, so why can't they work just as well for the movies? 

Why can't Batman just go after a gimmickless serial killer who stalks high school cheerleaders instead of some world-spanning terrorist organization trying to blow up Gotham? Why can't Spider-Man just try to help a poor woman escape prostitution and her abusive pimp instead of trading punches with Doctor Octopus or the Green Goblin? Why can't Superman just travel to some out-of-the-way town and put some corrupt oil tycoon and his thugs in their place instead of stopping rogue Kryptonians from conquering the planet? And the list goes on ...

 Yeah I would love seeing all of that done, that is one reason I liked the first season of Agents of Shield better then this season, I was getting tired of all of the episode stuff in the MCU.  The thing that made everyone hate Agents of Shield was what I liked about it, I liked the fact that it was small stories that just happened to take place in the MCU and that all of the people on the team were normal people without Super powers.  Now that the show has gone all epic and Sky is a "choosen one" with super powers the show has lost a lot of it's appeal for me and it is just another epic action show where the whole world is at stake every week.

I know I am alone in this but that is how I feel.  For the past decade or so every TV show and movie has been doing epic end of the world type stuff with chosen ones and I am burnt out on it.
