Could on doesn't see race, and he's not a sexist who stares at boobs, so the disguise worked great.

mikeraskol posted:The thought of you getting frustrated at cool stuff happening because you think there is a small foundational detail missing is getting me frustrated. Ha ha. I still enjoyed the episode, and I was willing to write it off in the moment as "an informant" because, y'know, SHIELD. Even without giant surveillance platforms, they should be hip enough to know what's going on. But once the episode was over, all bets were off, so of course it was my own stupid mistake.

Even so, Castle generally sticks to stuff that's (barely) plausible in the real world. Even with the time traveler, there's still plenty of room for him being a stealthy nutcase. Even the "invisibility suit" from the last episode is just a couple steps up from these things.

The fight scenes look great because this episode was directed by Kevin Tancharoen who worked on Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. I'm not surprised if Marvel will promote him to do a movie in the future. edit: Are the preview photos for the next episode giving anyone else Dr Moreau vibes about Skye's father? It just makes the theory that he's the High Evolutionary much stronger. The MSJ fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Oct 16, 2014 |

cool kids inc. posted:Those suits are made out of a fabric that's the same pattern as the carpet. They got in deep poo poo from the con staff because they were offering to sell them. Yeah, the Castle invisibility suit is a long way off. Meta-materials can bend electro-magnetic waves in strange ways, but there's nothing that will do that across the entire visible EM spectrum. There were a few articles a while back about invisibility cloaks, but it was mostly sensationalism brought on by some interesting results at Duke (I think). The MSJ posted:The fight scenes look great because this episode was directed by Kevin Tancharoen who worked on Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. Shang Chi, Master of Kung-Fu. Seriously, though, maybe he'll be involved in Iron Fist. I'm glad this show has matured. It had moments last season, but this season has been a blast right out of the gate.

This season has been knocking it out of the park, I'm so glad this show has found its footing. I'll admit, back when the show started I scoffed when Coulsen said May and Ward were up there with Widow and Hawkeye. Look how wrong I was!

I mean, she also got captured in the first place because she let the chick taze her in the back. The fights were neat and I definitely don't miss the days when we'd hear about how good May and Ward are without actually seeing any fights, but they're still TV characters and are subject to temporary lapses in competence when the plot calls for it so it's kind of hard to think of them as Black Widow-level super agents sometimes.

Well, Widow did accidentally let Batroc escape in the beginning of Cap 2, and temporarily let Pierce get the upper hand of her and Fury at the end, so she's capable of making mistakes as well. EDIT: Actually Batroc may have been intentional, now that I think about it. PunkBoy fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Pwnstar posted:Ok so I have a comic nerd question. Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider/Bruce Banner was bombarded with gamma rays and their DNA was altered. I assume this makes them mutants but I guess X-Men are capital letter Mutants because they were born that way, just like Lady Gaga? Is there an actual difference or is it just about who can stay in which clubhouse? In the old Marvel Superheroes RPG they used the term 'altered human' to distinguish characters like this (who got their powers from an external force/event) from mutants (who get their powers specifically from the 'mutant gene/x-gene'). 'Mutant' in the Marvel-verse has very little to do with real-world type mutations, it's basically code for 'won the genetic lottery and gets magic powers'.

There was even a whole sub-plot in House of M where Spider-Man was gaming the system in Magneto's perfect mutant-dominated alternate world by lying about where he got his powers from and posing as a "born this way" capital M Mutant while other post-facto heroes like the Hulk were living as slaves along with the rest of humanity. It's kind of a moot point however, as neither Mutants nor Spider-Man exist in the MCU... for now anyway. Who knows what kind of inter-studio hankey pankey Disney's concocting for the Phase 3 MCU.

So now Fake-Talbot knows that S.H.I.E.L.D. has an arrangement with the government to hand over all (well, most) of the cool stuff they find, and Fake-May knows not only that Coulson is director now, but that there's something wrong enough with him that May might have to put him down. On that front, now Hydra knows more than most of the team does about his "condition."

Between May slow-mo head slamming that poor tortured agent and Fitz saving the day I had the biggest smile on my face. It's ridiculous how well the characters have been developed this season, and what good additions Mack and Hunter have been. Coulson isn't carrying it anymore. Sassy Skye, broken Fitz, whatever the hell is going on with Ward, I'm actually feeling something for these characters and that never happened in season one.
