How Agents Of S.h.i.e.l.d Got Good (spoilers Inside)

I might be the only person that actually liked Agent Carter. But then I also liked the first Captain America movie.

 

I only watched the first episode of Agent Carter and I was pretty unimpressed. I'll give it a shot again soon.

Remember when we thought Agents of SHIELD would be a good change of pace from the darkness of Daredevil? Yikes... This last episode was not quite so light as I was expecting.

 

You might not like it. The rest of the episodes are pretty similar to the first one. It's a lighter, period piece. I just like that period, and I like Atwell and what they did with the Jarvis character.

 

I'm about as big a Marvel fan as a normal adult can be, so I'll eventually give it another shot. I'm watching Agents of SHIELD still so...

And I liked Atwell too. I guess I just didn't love the effects, but I was probably expecting too much.

 

I liked the First Cap movie too. Agent Carter seems so uninspired. Too much of the whole making all the men seem like functional retards. It realize they were playing on the equality problems of men and women back then. but they can do that without making every single man seem like knuckleheaded hornballs.

 

Cap 1 was great up until cap started fighting. Once he started punting guys and crashing planes he didn't need to crash, the movie fell apart.

 

Probably the weakest part of the story.

 

Just saw this week's Agents of SHIELD, and man, this was one of my favorite episodes ever of the show. I thought it was great story telling. Really interesting how they explained The Calvary

 

It really was a well done episode, probably the highest quality writing/acting they've had so far. Really really solid story telling.

 

What's cool is they obviously had this whole thing planned from the get-go because I remember the Cavalry name drop back in the show's first or second episode.

 

Yeah they really played up that name and aspect of May's character. Consistently through the show she never wants to be in the field. Now we know why and what a great reason.

I'm hopeful this show just hit it's stride and is about to really pop off.

 

Can't believe no one's talking the last episode of Shield. It was incredible. So much happened, I don't know where to start...

Spoiler: So good

Coulson looses an arm, Bobby shot, Sky and Coulson starting a super human team, and the end with Jemma being consumed by that object... then the crystals leaking into the water and in fish oil. Next season should be crazy!!

I'm loving Agents of SHIELD right now!

 

I just saw it last night. AMAZING good finale.

My favorite part was

Spoiler

Sky's Dad becoming Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde, and then finding his redemption in his greater love for Sky. Coulson's connection with him as Sky's father figure was great, and the Tahiti protocol was a perfect character resolution.

So, is Sky going to lead the Inhumans or is she going to lead the new powered team or both? The fish oil was both comic book corny and a genius way of setting up next season.... and Jemmaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!

 

Spoiler: Some answers and questions!

1. Simmons is totally alive. The thing that sucked her up is a Kree weapon against the Inhumans. Expect her to come out of it with some sort of ability to either kill, hurt, or change the Inhumans.

2. Raina dying was crazy. I wasn't expecting that at all!

3. Yeah the graphics on this show... yikes. Marvel/ABC need to put a little more production into this. At times it looks terrible and other times it looks just okay.

4. The team Skye is putting together in the comics was called the Secret Warriors! They were all children of former (or current) villains who all had powers. It was awesome and I expect this to follow suit. The team will probably have Skye, Lincoln, Deathlok, and maybe like Hunter or something.

5. That torture scene was BRUTAL. For an ABC program? Nicely done.

6. I was so excited for a half a minute I thought we were going to see Namor and Atlantis... Instead we got Fish Oil Superheroes... I'm a little disappointed... But as a plot device? Not bad. Now we'll start getting dozens of Inhumans all over the place maybe even more. Now the show can get a little bit back to its roots of finding/dealing with cool supernatural stuff!

 

Man the fight between Bobby and Ward was brutal. I was thinking it was going a little too good for Ward torturing her because she shouldn't go down that easy... and she didn't The part where she pulls the pins from under her nails and stabs Ward with them was so good!
