Daredevil's tone seems super different from SHIELD. Like it's trying to be a gritty crime drama, or took it's influence from The Dark Knight franchise instead of the Marvel universe.

I mean, All of these styles and influences pretty much come from the same man. Frank Miller. and actually IIRC his Daredevil run was why they brought him on to do Batman in the first place.

Maybe what's on the Carrier is a bomb based on the Diviner, only you know someone hosed up and it's a terrigen bomb rather than a kill people bomb. It'll get set off in the struggle, or a bitter loser will set it off, and a whole buncha people will end up undergoing terrigenesis.

Holy poo poo, I never thought about the fact that they actually have already used bombs like that on the show before. I wonder if those bombs like the ones Hydra used to kill those people at the dinner would activate Inhumans.

Maybe you're just unfamiliar with Daredevil. That's pretty much the tone of Daredevil and has been for decades.

Very unfamiliar, do all Marvel characters exist in the same universe? Like Daredevil and Starlord could technically run into each other as unlikely as it would be? I'm just gauging from the trailers but he doesn't seem to fit in the serious-but-fun world the rest of the Marvel films take place in.

Anything produced by Marvel directly is tied in, even Daredevil and the other Netflix shows.

Here's a tie-in from Daredevil for example: apparently there's a line about how the office Foggy & Matt Murdock rent for their law office was damaged in the attack we saw in The Avengers.

They're going to be drastically different in tone, but part of the same shared universe.

Which does make a certain amount of sense. Not every part of the Marvel universe is going to be the same. I have a feeling that Star Lord et al are going to blow Earth's collective mind when they finally meet the Avengers.

Loeb (producer on both shows) was talking about connections between Daredevil and Agents of SHIELD. (mild spoiler) "Crusher" Creel was a young boxer who fought (and lost) against Jack Murdock, Daredevil's Father. Creel later went on to become Absorbing Man and was harassing SHIELD earlier in the season. Loeb says they're definitely the same guy, though if that ever actually becomes relevant in either show, I have no idea.

It's the same in the comics, all of Marvel's titles are in the same universe but many of them have different tones and vibes. Daredevil in particular has always been one of the key titles in their Marvel Knights group, titles which tend to be darker and more adult (see also: the Punisher, for example). When characters crossover the tone will normally depend on who's title it is, similar to what we saw with Arrow/the Flash this season.

The more you know! :eng101:

Someone mentioned this issue before, but I don't feel like I need much to be impressed by the metahuman May takes down. I don't think there were a lot of supers around in the world pre, say, 2008. Like, just consider the kinds of people SHIELD took as serious enough threats that you'd have to be indexed and depowered. Someone hot-glued razors on their fingernails and that was enough for SHIELD to take them as a serious threat.

If May's opponent is a B-tier villain, gently caress even a half-decent C-tier one, I can very easily imagine that SHIELD would be loving going nuts over the fact that May took her down singlehandedly.

Very curious about the spinoff! Think we could lose Skye to it? Once she gets control over her powers nothing so far on this show would be a match for her and she could get the Daisy Johnson identity as part of the spinoffs premise. Idk, probably not since she's very much a Main Character.

I'm hoping for Mack & Turbos Custom Cars.

Not sure how I feel about the spinoff thing, as I'm hoping it won't ultimately affect Peggy Carter's chances of renewal.

If R.E.A.L. S.H.I.E.L.D. sticks around, I wonder if they'll come back into the fold and morph into S.W.O.R.D. or something for the spinoff, which would allow them to focus on the extra-terrestrial threats while S.H.I.E.L.D. handles the earth bound stuff. You then move Mack, Hunter and Bobbi over to that show and keep the original cast around for original show. You then introduce Abigail Brand as the lead after Gonzales gets killed and maybe add an alien or two to the team.

Why would you be suprised about this? Deathlok's last appearance was walking off on his own, there has been literally no reference to him in the show since and Coulson has been in serious trouble before and didn't call Mike in.
Are you seriously saying that when Coulson said backup was coming your immediate thought was "Yeah he's given Deathlock a call", or is this just hindsight :smug:

She could focus her shockwaves to someone's heart and give them a heart attack or just make it explode. Same with the brains or any internal organs. Or she could just make your whole body vibrate apart. Or just pretty much destroy any vehicle or man made building.

I think Skye's powers are god-teir like Iceman and Magneto. Once she learns to perfect them she will be able to vibrate herself through walls and use those same vibrations to cause the water molecules in your body to excite as if you were in a microwave. At least that's what one poster said. I think she's like Flash where her initial power (super speed, earthquakes) is like a parlour trick once she really learns how to control it

You don't see how someone capable of making targeted earthquakes on demand could be dangerous?

Also the water thing was kind of a cheat since you need a camera running at a certain frame rate to see it, but it was just the show's way of demonstrating that Skye is vibrating the air. It was a setup for her hadouken'ing the SHIELD team that came after her later in the episode. I imagine the writing staff saw one of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENITui5_jU and thought "Hey that looks awesome, we should have her do that".
