Agents of SHIELD

CMIII · 10-24-2013, 08:11 AM

I'm glad they finally revealed why Skye was actually there but the fact that they keep killing these Metahumans and Mutants is getting a bit over the top. As for my Thor Prediction I am changing it to Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) cameo

trebleshot · 10-24-2013, 11:04 AM

If that does happen, I wonder if it will be pre- or post-TDW.

But I'm kinda on the fence about the shadow games stuff. While it is intriguing and keeps the audience guessing, it can get very tiresome after a while if the plot has too many twists and turns or a mystery is dragged out too long.

Agreed, it's kind of like the No Ordinary Family, that was a good show, and got axed after the first season I think. That was another ABC show to now that I remember, but I remember it having too many twists and turns.

Agreed as well, although I wonder why they don't put the word "Mutant" out there yet?

I mostly enjoyed that series as well, but it definitely had too many plot twists for a first season. It became difficult to watch when you'd think they were going to wrap up one mystery but they'd create five more instead.

I think I would have liked it a lot more if ABC had been able to do it as a proper Fantastic Four or Incredibles series.

I believe that's because that term within the context of Marvel characters is part of Fox's licensing deal.

CMIII · 11-21-2013, 01:54 PM

Okay it's concurrent with and after Thor 2 after Iron man 3. likely what ever happens in Cappy 2 will be during and after. I expect Colson to appear in Avengers 2

Skye: Shes a bit out in the world on her own. Her Parents are killed and SHIELD covers it up. Even though she want to know more she puts on an Internet block Bracelet.

Extremis: The Extremis Virus has been playing a Minor role is some episodes now has created Supersoldiers.

The Woman in the Flower Dress: Ugh who she is is a total mystery shes killed, kidnapped, and did it all for some unknown reason

Exodus · 01-09-2014, 12:25 PM

Dang can't stream off of ABC directly any more, they did something where you have to have actual cable tv network and have to log on to watch it ugh. How was this new episode?

trebleshot · 01-09-2014, 01:09 PM

Good for a mid-season cliffhanger. Apparently the second half will delve more into what happened to Coulson after New York. Whether they fully explain everything or not remains to be seen.

There are other plot points that got previewed, but they reference earlier events in the show and might be considered spoilers.

Hulu Plus is well worth the $8/month. I have that and Netflix which means I pay less than $20 each month for my TV. Tons to watch and then there are 'other' ways of getting content.

Exodus · 01-17-2014, 11:55 AM

Not sure if her being in it will help the show at all.

Well, she hasn't had much backstory in the two Thor films, so at the very least, it will help flesh out her character. Even better if she ends up with a cameo in Avengers 2.

And according to Norse myth, she eventually weds Thor. Then again, Marvel has always played fast and loose when it comes to using Norse mythology as source for Thor stories.

Would be great if they added her as a guest appearance every so often. I was able to download the last 2 episodes since I can't watch them on the ABC website so let's see how they are for me.

CMIII · 01-19-2014, 12:31 PM

well they had Sam Jackson show up twice (One of which was stock footage) so a few cameos are nice. I would like to see the Asian Agent fight Black Widow

May, that would be cool...I'm caught up now and it's still eh to me, although I do like how they explain the Coulson thing now...

Exodus · 01-24-2014, 11:34 AM

Now we're talking Deathlok Sets His Sights on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | News | Marvel.com

Iceman · 02-05-2014, 11:52 PM

The Deathlok reveal was interesting. I'm curious to see what more they do with him. They didn't cheap out on the CG for his leg so that's nice to see.

Yeah will be interesting to see how Deathlok develops, he's always been a great comic character when he first came out in the 90's. Was interesting how he got put in with the X-Books though recently, he's been one of those back burner characters that Marvel has. Hopefully a figure will be made for him as well.

That would be a cool fight.

I was surprised to find out that the Actress that plays Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na We) is 50 years old.

Asians age well don't you know

CMIII · 03-08-2014, 09:31 PM

Yes Deathlok was mentioned this past week

Major things coming out of the March 4th episode...

Phil Coulson disobeys orders and takes sky to Maryland then Colorado after she was shot twice in the stomach. Maryland and Colorado are where he was believed to be brought back from the dead

Bill Paxton (Twister, Apollo 13) plays John Garrett.

"The Clarivoyant" is turning the controls of everyone SHIELD faced.

The Blue Humanoid Upper Torso that looks an awful lot like Phil Coulson

Simmons Injects Skye with an Unknown medicine

Coulson Sits at Skye's bedside as she recovers

Lorelei appears in Death Valley and manages to talk a Newlywed man into abandoning his wife at a gas station. (Lady Sif will appear next week)

OK Some theroys I have..

Mike Peterson will become Deathloc
Coulson is Skyes Father
On either April 1 or 8 there will be a major tie in to "The Winter Solider"

MegaPrime33 · 03-09-2014, 07:32 AM

We already know Mike is deathlock based on the insignia we saw on his artificial leg.

I didn't see the resemblance of the blue "creature" to Coulson. I had thought maybe it was a Chitari body and they were using it's blood to regen human tissue, but then it didn't look a Chitari either.

CMIII · 03-09-2014, 09:11 AM

I only saw a slight resemblance, but it was very slight. I have a feeling that's going to lead into Vision in a way

DarthGzus33 · 03-09-2014, 03:21 PM

I've been saying this since Avengers...Coulson is The Vision.
