The word on the street is that it's very hard for the MCU to have any meaningful connection with Marvel Television because Kevin Feige (the head honcho of the MCU) and Ike Perlmutter (the head honcho of Marvel TV) hate each other's guts.

Sdp,there have been references.For example in Daredevil there is a clipping handing in Ben Urich's office of the Avengers battle in New York against Loki and the alien invasion. In Jessica Jones the Hulk is references when discussion over the expectation o the hero type going to show up to save the day. So little things are hidden within,but not much. I suggest checking out Youtube videos that go through the Easter eggs. I guarantee the connections will be covered in each. Just be warned about Luke Cage if you have not finished the season.

And I'm okay with this. The less connected, the better I like it. Gives them more freedom to do their own thing instead of continually connecting back to Downey and Chris 1 and Chris 2.

I never bothered with Agents of SHIELD, but are these shows more consistent in terms of quality than the films?

Yeah. I just worry that it'll hinder us from seeing a Spidey/Kingpin encounter or something along those lines.
Agents of SHIELD is an example of how the connection is a hindrance rather than an advantage. So many episodes in season 1 are just dedicated to tying in to whatever MCU film is out at the time.

I only watched season 1, and the first half is a sluggish crawl that makes the agents seem like a bunch of facetious wieners.
The second half suddenly kicks ass though.

I asked because I may watch the shows soon but I'm way behind on the movies and don't plan on watching them but I remember hearing that Agents of Shield was connected heavily. Obviously big references like "hulk" I will get and the alien invasion but I didn't see anything after Iron Man 3 so almost nothing after Phase 1.

ABSOLUTELY. Dude, it's the best stuff Marvel has ever done.

I'd rather see Spidey go up against his more outlandish enemies; seems more appropriate for the films. Besides, Kingpin's character was finally done justice on Daredevil. I'd MUCH rather see the Spiderman movies do the same for characters like Osborn, Ock, Venom, and all those other rogues.

I bet Luke Cage and Jessica Jones will don some kind of costumes. You know Iron Fist will.
