I might take the time to re-watch everything. I'm really wondering if the first 2/3rds of S1 might be more worthwhile knowing where it all ends up eventually. I suspect all the early AoS will still be really boring and suck, but I'm keeping an open mind.

As far as I'm concerned Jemma still feels (or felt, prior to being dragged screaming into a hellish Kree nightmare) that she could "fix" her. She still has a deep distrust-bordering-on-hate of powered people, but overcame her cognitive dissonance with Skye by writing her off as "still good, pending fix."

Exactly. I wouldn't put it past her to actually believe that all Inhumans are "broken" at a genetic level and someone needs to "fix" them. Depending on how dark she goes, she'll probably try at some point with a virus, maybe even a lethal one.

At most she's tolerant of Skye's abilities, and still warm to her due to their shared past, but Jemma has some serious, deep seated trust issues with powered people. This is assuming that her little rock incident doesn't change her drastically.

If my friend had condition that made her involuntary shake so hard her bones broke and I was a super-scientist, I'd probably try to fix her too.

It's like in crappy ol' X-Men 3 where Storms going on about how it's not right to "cure" mutants and Rogues like "hey my 'gift' is that I can't ever touch a living thing ever. How about you shut up."

Speaking of which, I'd love to see AIM in AoS. They're goofy enough to fit in. Also more MODOK. Because MODOK.

Cut off one beekeeper helmet, two others shall take its place.

e: I literally forgot about the AIM in IM3 lol. Extremis too. Probably because they were just set dressings without any good substance. Though the AIM thinktank did get into a few defense contracts in the movie iirc so some remnant could still be around.

I don't know how or if the Disney deal alters this, but I remember back when I worked for them that streaming licensing deals have built in time limits. A few years on average.

So movies would get added, and pulled down when the license runs out, then a new license agreement gets worked out and the movie goes back online.

I don't remember who it was, but another streamer got the Disney movie rights away from Netflix. Netflix wouldn't get anything after Avengers and would only have anything earlier until the start of the year.
