All he's missing is a White Russian in one of his hands, but then again, that would get in the way of some Kung fu

You've not seen enough good kung fu movies if you think that.

Because it really drove home just how terrible Agents of Shield was so they could have a superior product on the air.

I'm sorry. I was super busy when it was airing :( also I'm Canadian and they don't take Canadian ratings into account.

I lost interest in Agents of SHIELD and gave up just a few episodes into Season 3, but I fully admit it had improved tremendously from the beginning to late Season 1, and it wasn't the show's fault -- it was me.

But I LOVED Agent Carter, and I already miss it terribly. Peggy, the Jarvises, Daniel Sousa, and Howard Stark were pure fun and joy to watch in that gorgeous period setting. Season 2 was even better than Season 1, and it gave us one of the MCU's best, most layered, most sympathetic villains in Whitney Frost (plus Dottie continued to be great).

Part of me hopes late '40s Peggy can somehow get plucked out of the timestream in order to team up with Cap and the Avengers during the Infinity War movie. She was too wonderful -- they ALL were -- to never see those characters again.

I'm wondering how they're going to do the costume because there's no way they're doing yellow slippers and open chest shirt with high collar.

In the new pm/if he wears actual shoes and the outfit is solid with an emblem on the chest instead of the open v cut. Still has the ridiculous collar though, so i dunno what they're gonna do about that. Maybe they'll just ignore it.

E: that outfit without the collar looks good ^^

I think what might be the only issue with that look is the mask is too similar to Matt's pre-Daredevil costume. Which is too bad because it was a pretty cool mask.

One of my issues with season two of Agent Carter was, and maybe it's just me, but it seemed like as they panicked about reduced ratings from season one, we saw more and more of Haley Atwell crawling under tables and the like. Essentially shots that were simultaneously exposing her and making her seem vulnerable - which really undercut the character.

Maybe I was reading more into it than was there, and I very much enjoyed season two and wanted more seasons of the show, but it left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Iron Fist probably won't wear a mask at all. I don't see why he'd really need to in this universe.

But it looks cool. Just do the DD mask before he got his costume and make it look like Iron Fist's.

Ok, I don't watch AoS, so I have a question for those who do. Did they resolve the whole Coulson being alive thing in a reasonable way? I know he's banished to the TV dimension, so it'll never come up again, but I am curious. They couldn't just drop it, but I guess I doubt how big a deal it could be. Something something Tahiti is all I remember.

They resolved it in a way that didn't seem particularly decent at the time but eventually tied into more decent stories. Which is fairly par for this show's course. But, yes, you definitely get the full answer behind Coulson's resurrection by the end of s1.

Fury had a secret project to use Kree blood (taken from a dead Kree) to resurrect a dead Avenger. Fury opted to use it on Coulson because he considered him part of the team and he was the first one to fall. It was a super secret program that almost no one in SHIELD knew about, even though half of SHIELD was HYDRA. The Kree stuff leads into the whole Inhuman stuff they have been doing quite smoothly.

Basically yes, for certain values of "reasonable". It was a big deal plotline and even a couple of season later there have been "we don't know if my head's on straight" repercussions.

The thing about Tahiti is... It's a magical place.

And when you figure it out, it seems the AoS writers wanted their own Bioshock-like Would You Kindly moment.

If they're keeping the "heir to a billion dollar corporation" aspect, yeah he probably needs to wear a mask.

The real thing with Coulson being unkilled should be the Avengers finding out about it. And that he's been alive for awhile while they thought he was dead. But that will not likely ever actually happen.

Deciding to unkill him basically sealed Agents of Shield's fate as being non-canon.

The Netflix series and AOS aren't in any hurry to recognize each other, either, beyond small Easter eggs. Which, granted, is still more than the films have managed with respect to the TV side.

Personally I'm hoping Dr. Strange introduces or alludes to a multiverse or 'worlds that are like this one but with slight changes' so they can say they're all in the same universe even if the bits of food on the plate never actually touch each other.

A large black man in a hoodie is probably going to get shot and they'll use the show as an excuse.
