At the very least, I refrained from complaining about Ward's five minute shaving montage that led absolutely nowhere because he was back to being scruffy the very next episode.

Having watched it 3 times because i have a 15 yr boy crush on Kat Dennings.... maybe. I just naturally assume everyone watched it. But i know a fair few who haven't seen Cap 2. I had to force my friend to watch it, and she didn't understand it. But she watches the show.

Bruceski posted:Binge watching helps a lot of shows since it means you don't dwell on the bad parts. Even when AoS was floundering it had its moments, and the fickleness of memory lets us keep those parts since the rest of the show has caught up to them. Yeah, this is exactly what happened to me with Arrow, and why I can't watch the show as it currently airs. There's a lot of positivity regarding AoS (some of which was spewed by me), but that still doesn't stop most of the first season from being ridiculously mediocre with no redeeming factors (that Thor tie in episode, I couldn't even get through, even during the binge watch). That's why I was so surprised about season 2, and still wary about a massive dip in quality up ahead. I do find myself recommending this show to people though. With all those attendant warnings of course.

The montage made it seem like Ward was going to infiltrate his brother's operation in Washington (hence the suit), not go hang out in the woods for awhile. My only point is that its weird to have a 'Ward's coming to town' montage to tease something that was never going to happen.

The point of that scene was to show Ward's internal and external transition from crazy fugitive on the run mode to covert agent with his own agenda.

Then: "Ward you loving idiot! They just said she could take control of you if you're not wearing ear protection! This show is so loving dumb!" Yet in retrospect, him basically "making contact" with a super powerful ally like that makes complete sense. It was also an important episode for other moments like that, such as when people's eyes were rolling out of their heads about Ward liking Skye, coming off as insanely cliche and sappy, and people hating him for being a bastard to May, including almost shooting her outside of mind control. I'm kind of a sucker for things like that. Every single sighing groan related to the plot back then was actually foreshadowing, and what's more, I believe it was planned as such at the time due to the ending.

To be fair, there were more artful ways of making the same foreshadowing without it causing an immediate groaning response. A lot of what they did ultimately paid off, but I don't know if going from "this is a dumb cliche-ridden show" to "we were just pretending to be a dumb cliche-ridden show!" was for the best.

There were probably better ways they could have handled it, but they kind of had to pussyfoot around what the movies had planned. I'm not sure how strictly they were forbidden from dealing with anything that could have impacted The Winter Soldier.

Other than the Thor episode, which was close enough to things changing for it to be excusable in my eyes, this sums up 95% of season 1 pre-Turn, Turn, Turn. I think their viewers are still down considerably from most of season 1's mishandling. I hated the "SHIELD is like 5 people" feel the show used to have in general, they've done a hugely solid job of making it feel like a bigger organization now.. ironically when it's at it's smallest in-universe.

Blazing Ownager posted:The Thor tie-in episode is saved by the twist, in my eyes. Eh, that's still a really flimsy reason for Ward to just act like a dipshit. It only kind of sort of maybe don't look too hard works in retrospect, and even then it's pretty shaky even by comic book logic. Also reminder that Ward was raped by an alien but the show treated it like a sweet moment because they're both hot.

Well one of their limitations was that they couldn't come anywhere near the H-word. Which is kind of a problem.
