Huh, I just looked up the actor and he's only 36. Charlie Cox is 32 but then he can pull off a younger look where as Brian Patrick Wade manages to look older.

I definitely assumed he was older. But I'm with you, I assumed Matt Murdock was late-20's and Creel was mid-40's...which would mean ~15 years ago, Matty would be around 12 and Creel around 20. Would a 20-year-old fighter be placed against an old-timer like Matt's dad? Seems like an unfair match. Guess it worked out for Murdock, until it didn't. vv Edit: Yup. Apparently basic arithmetic is not a thing I can do. Yeah, a 30-year-old guy and a 40-something Jack Murdock is more possible vv Xealot fucked around with this message at 13:03 on May 3, 2015 |

His cameo in s01e02 was in the post-credits scene. It was a pretty neat reminder that this was Fury's SHIELD they were working for.

Also going to see AoU today. That's Theta Protocol, isn't it? Seeing AoU. I bet Coulson was jetting around the world and setting up these bunkers so he'd have a place he could go to avoid spoilers. I just spoiled it, didn't I. Sorry Phil

It's mentioned in the fight commentary that Creel is younger than Jack Murdock, and the creator pointed that out when discussing the crossover. http://www.cinemablend.com/m/television/Here-How-Daredevil-Agents-H-I-E-L-Related-71206.html quote:“If you look at it, there's actually a very critical line, which is, 'Battlin' Jack is doing very well against a much younger fighter.' So the idea is, we looked at it from the point of view of, Mike Tyson was the heavyweight champion when he was 18 years old. [Brian Patrick Wade], who plays him in the show, looks like he's in his mid-30s, so there was enough time for us to be able to say, 'There's no reason why that isn't the same person."

The reason why myself and others who saw the film before the yanks were saying that Theta Protocol doesn't appear in Age of Ultron is because it literally doesn't. I mean, if it is the New Avengers facility depicted at the end of Age of Ultron, which really is the only thing that makes sense other than a completely different, pointless thing, what with the spin-off and all well.... ...that's completely pointless. That would honestly be a more egregious slight to the tv show than anything Joss Whedon has said or any kind of inter-connectivity that has been downplayed before. It would also basically condemn this show to being everything pointless and wasteful about it. This show could have been a really fantastic, modern-day X-Files, able to craft it's own mythology out of the lesser known elements of the comics that only halfway inspired it, if it goes the route depicted above, that will be incredibly stupid. To be honest, despite how much I dislike this show's flaws, I never thought it would convince me that one of it's most talked about 'strengths' was actually it's greatest weakness, so I really hope that's now what's going on.

Yeah, if Theta Protocol is supposed to be (A:AoU spoilers) the helicarrier then that doesnt really fit with the travelling all over and buying bunk beds. If its supposed to be the new avengers facilty then it doesnt make any sense; The avengers arent secret. Their central NY city base with the massive "A" on the side is not secret. Presumably their new base, also not secret. So why the hell would the furniture for it be being bought by Phil "Secret squirell because the avengers still think I'm dead" Coulson? Stark would just send a peon to Ikea with his onyx creditcard for that poo poo. You dont need to engage a spy, the head of reallest shield no less, to buy furniture for a regular non secret legit organisation. If it is supposed to be the helicarrier then thats a wet fart of a plot because it will have no bearing on the storyline of AoS considering how big a plot point "Theta Proticol" has been made out to be in the show. There also isnt anything to suggest that the "friends" who helped get the carrier are anyone other than maria hill and Stark. I'm not saying it WONT turn out to be that, just if it is I'll be disappointed because it'd be bad writing and incredibly underwhelming as we move on to the last few episodes of the season.

Well, there might be some virtue in not leaving everything at the mercy of Tony's purse strings considering his past, current, and future behavior (cough, civil war) while at the same time keeping it under wraps that underground fugitive organization S.H.I.E.L.D. is bankrolling the new Avengers Academy for gifted children.

I just thought Theta Protocol was Coulson "activating the Avengers". I think that's been his fail safe plan. For anything he can't handle he passes it along to the Avengers via Hill.

Not sure why you think it would be "bad writing" and "incredibly underwhelming." Fury said something along the lines of having gotten the hellicarrier built with the help of some friends. Coulson is probably one of those, and bunk beds were probably a (small) part of the project. It's a very important plot point because hellicarriers are the symbol of SHIELD. So when they finally located the scepter, Coulson said "initiate theta protocol and call in the Avengers" and that's how everything is tied together. That's just me though. We might find out more in this week's episode.

If their big secret project is "we have one of the things we had dozens of in the first season that had zero impact on anything", how is that anything OTHER than underwhelming? If thats Theta Protocol then it would have less impact on the everage episode than Coulson growing a beard would. It would be a big build up for zero pay off, and thats lovely writing.

Maybe the finale is an epic arm wrestling contest between Coulson and Gonzales to see which SHIELD gets to use it.

Certainly I think it's unlikely they're going to be regularly flying around in the Helicarrier from now on but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

That's what I'm trying to tell you: a brand new helicarrier is a symbol of SHIELD's official resurrection. Considering that's what Coulson has been working towards since the show started, I think it's a pretty big deal.

I sincerely doubt you'll see one at all since its kinda one of those big movie set pieces that they wouldn't "ruin" by using on TV. Gonzalez' ship may be the replacement for the bus but I really doubt it can fly or if it can we'll only get references to it. I'm pretty confident about this but I also don't wanna be the next Barry Convex.

Only the updated, mass production models were destroyed in Winter Soldier. The original helicarrier was dry docked for upgrades/repairs so it avoided the destruction and was never out fitted with Insight weapons. It's actually been a massive deal for the hardcore MCU fandom where the original was until Age of Ultron brought it back. It's probably been sat around half repaired and with no crew for a few years now. Theta is almost definitely going to be the Avengers Academy from the end of the film, especially as that's the rumoured setting for the film. The real plot drive behind that isn't that Coulson has been helping set it up but rather that he's been helping to find and secure powered students for it. Because, really, Coulson does want to weaponise powered individuals even if his motivates are pure. Bobby will end up working their because, as a sceptic, she's the natural choice to keep things in line.

It's too bad they won't ever let the movies have meaningful connections to the shows or vice versa. Just a quick newspaper with a headline about the Devil of Hell's kitchen or mentioning something that happened on AOS briefly would go a long way.

"Doing alright" is not what Marvel wants, and that's why they're kind of kicking AoS and why I'm concerned it's going to get trashed despite being good now. Daredevil on the other hand is doing very well, so if it keeps that up for another season, it wouldn't shock me at all to see him in Civil War or something.

Deadpool posted:It's so funny how people forget what the dog argument actually was. It wasn't whether Ward did or didn't pull the trigger. It was that some people thought Garrett shot the dog which was ridiculous. I believe it was both. First the denying, then they came up with that ridiculous idea of Garret doing it somehow. I liked it better than the whole 'did they shag or not' argument when May left the door open for Ward. Some people are denser than vibranium. And of course nothing will top "they will never do inhumans".
