Can someone explain the "SHIELD is gone" thing to me? I was here for the Barry Convex episode, but not for that one.

Whelp, Raina might not be long for the show as Ruth Negga has just been cast as one of the leads on AMC's Preacher. Interestingly enough she'll be playing Tulip.

Martout posted:Probably this yeah. It's also quite plausible in that SHIELD was a gargantuan organisation and that there'd be more players than Coulson looking to restore it. The writers have earned my trust this season so it'll probably be good too and no show suffers from having Olmos in it. I think it might actually a good intentioned splinter of SHIELD that blames Fury for how bad things got and don't believe his right hand man is the best choice to redeem the organization.

Is Tulip the main love interest or her friend? I can't remember which one. If the former Jesus she plays characters that get the short end of the stick in life.

I just love how he's so loving nonchalant when he does that.  Zebulon posted:It seems like you did miss a scene at the very end. Reader (I think that's his name? Blind Nightcrawler with the fun teleportation SFX) comes into a room that's been torn to poo poo where Cal is being kept, asks him if he's done, then tells him that he's being annoying and drawing too much attention when Cal asks why the hell they dragged him off instead of taking Skye to help her out. Also explicitly calls him out as a science experiment and not an Inhuman or otherwise related to them. General implication is that they've been aware of Cal for a while (and vice-versa) and aren't terribly enthused with his eagerness. Or, you know, his craziness. At the end, Reader said that the Inhumans Big Boss wanted to see Cal, and Cal puts on his suit jacket, and slowly walks out of the room, looking like a schoolboy on his way to the principal's office. Thet camera doesn't move, so as he gets closer, it's focused on the black of his jacket, and that's how they fade to black.

We don't know if that guy is the Reader yet. He's only been called Gordon so far. And besides the being blind thing (which is doubtful even without eyes as he seems to be able to see fine) the only other thing he has in common with the comic character is that he is an Inhuman.

Entertainment Weekly article about the cover. Probably should have included it in my previous post. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/19/agent-ward-returns-new-agents-shield-art The two women are supposed to be the different aspects of Agent 33.

XboxPants posted:I thought the comic book character looked after new Inhumans, which this guy seems to maybe be doing? I haven't read the new series. Oh, he could still very well be The Reader. The comic character doesn't have a long history, but from what we've seen of him so far he basically was kind of a tracker for hire that would sell Inhumans to the highest bidders. That is until one of the bidders wanted a certain one with bad intentions and he decided to help out. But I've seen nothing that really convinces me completely yet that he is. Especially since The Reader is a character that debuted just a little bit before this season started and if it was really that character history has told us that Marvel would probably want to make the character line up with the live action version much more, especially for a new character like this. I think we'll need to get a better read on exactly what the extent of Gordon's powers really are before we know for sure. Reader's name comes from the fact that his powers come from reading which is why he was blinded.

I think Real SHIELD will have good intentions too but perhaps be more militaristic or draconian in some fashion to make for antagonism with Coulsons SHIELD.

I think the most likely scenario is that the SHIELD producers said something like "We're going to have a blind Inhuman on the show this year that introduces us to that world" and someone at Marvel told Soule to create blind one in the comics since he's making a ton of new ones in his book. I find it rather unlikely that the writers of this show decided to base what looks to be an integral character on the show on a comic character that had been created maybe a month or two before that episode was even filmed.

So with knowledge that Marvel would never do this: Could they stop making the X-Men comics altogether and just create hilarious knockoffs and call them "Inhumans"? Do we know for how long Fox has the X-Men(/Fantastic Four?) license? Not that Fox needs the comics around to keep making movies, but it would be funny. Actually, knowing nothing of the Inhumans, it looks like they originally appeared in Fantastic Four? I don't understand how licensing works. I'm still not clear how Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch get to be in the Avengers.

I agree totally. Reader's comic powers are probably too hard for the Agents of SHIELD team to manage, but what they came up with for him instead looks really freakin' great. (also my post probably sounded sarcastic, I really was being honest, I think your idea makes sense)

myron cope posted:So with knowledge that Marvel would never do this: It's more about what book you're more associated with than what book you first appeared in. Even though Inhumans appeared a number of times in Fantastic Four they're pretty much their own thing. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have been Avengers characters for most of their publication history. But being Mutants they frequently get dragged into to X-Men stuff as well. I have no doubt that there's legal contracts somewhere in some office desk that were signed years ago explicitly stating which character each of these studios can use, why they can use them, and to what extent they can use them. That kind of minutiae is exactly the kind of poo poo lawyers and comic book people live for. The fact that some interns probably spent weeks of their lives going through hundreds upon hundreds of X-Men and Spider-Man and Avengers and whatever other comics and managed to track exactly how much time these characters spend as part of one franchise or another in order to ascertain rights usage in films amuses me to no end.

I have looked for an article or something somewhere that goes into detail on the licensing of Marvel comics for movies/tv. I guess there's just too much info that we'll never have (unless it gets leaked like the Sony stuff!) to get an accurate picture of it. I know there was something about if they don't make a movie in <X> years the rights go back to Marvel, which is what happened with...Punisher? Something. Were the contracts "as long as you keep making movies, have the rights forever!"? These are dumb questions that for some unknown reason I would love to have the answer to.
