"You can't hurt a mountain, Skye." *buries hundreds of people alive in avalanche, and traps dozens more on mountain with no food or oxygen*

While I understand your point (Who wouldn't do everything possible to save their kids other than crazy rear end mofo's) it still should not excuse him. There should be some sort of consequence to his actions other than, "Here, let us make you even deadlier." At least it did help that the guy is genuinely not a bad guy and showed remorse.

I'm glad that there probably won't be a big AoU tie in since I probably won't see it at first. I didn't see Winter Soldier until way after it came out, but I didn't start watching AoS until after that even so it was ok

They know he did it, they know why he did it, and they know it's highly unlikely he'll do it again without some hugely extenuating circumstances. What should they do to him? And for what reason besides revenge?

Having the life of a family member and yourself under threat is pretty much the definition of "extenuating circumstances".

First of all, this is not the movie thread, so people really should try and keep it to the show. 2nd of all, not everyone gets to go see the movie right when it comes out. 3rd: Spoiler tags are click bait. Seriously, who can resist clicking these things?

I've finally gotten around to watching the first few episodes of Agent Carter, and wow, it's way better than I had thought it would be. When it came out first I hadn't actually caught up on SHIELD yet (I gave up on like 2 or 3 episodes into the first season). It's probably actually better than AoS, even.

It starts off better than AoS for sure. Whether it is better overall is debatable.

Yeah, Agent Carter, by virtue of being a mini-series, is much more cohesive and well crafted, basically because its just another Marvel movie only serialized. AoS had to piddle around for 2/3 of a season while laying ground work for the huge bomb in Captain America 2. I feel like AoS should only be judged post Captain America 2, but even then its hard to compare a full tv series to a mini-series.

Isn't Agent Carter just a miniseries because it's extremely unlikely that it's going to get renewed for a second season?

It was planned to be a one time mini-series, but it did well enough that they are considering making another one. It was never intended to be renewed, thats the point of a miniseries. Its just a movie spread out over a couple weeks.

Just finished it, it was really fun - they certainly left enough dangling plot threads for a second season - the whole deal with Leviathan, the hypnotist getting recruited into Hydra, Dotty, the fact that SHIELD doesn't exist yet.. It seems like they certainly really WANTED to make a second season. Also, Jarvis was pretty amazing. Wolpertinger fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Apr 26, 2015 |

Since I finished Daredevil yesterday and needed a new Netflix binge, I have started re-watching season 1 of SHIELD. On episode 2, Skye accepts becoming part of the team and she's moving her bags and boxes into the Bus and there is a little hula-girl figurine dancing on top of her pile of stuff. Re: Cal's hula-girl, "I have one of these"  Yay for little throwbacks.

There's a legal concept for situations exactly like this where you are forced to do something against your will by threats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duress Committing a criminal act while under duress can be legal and justified in a court of law, and threatening to torture and kill your child and/or explode your head definitely counts as duress.

And the nice thing about being part of an illegal super secret spy agency that regularly deals with all sorts of things the law probably isn't quite prepared for, is nobody actually is going to take him to court over this. Duress laws weren't written to encompass cyborgs with eye-bombs with evil nazi scientists holding his son hostage. That's pretty much the definition of extenuating circumstances - a normal person under duress to kill might be considered to have some duty to attempt to escape or call for help, but a normal person under duress doesn't have an eye bomb recording his every move.
