Apoplexy posted:Remember that the Insight Protocol was able to suss out potential problems, not just active threats. That's what I never get about people confused that Stephen Strange would be killed off: He was basically always a Potential Superhero. He just wasn't trained until his movie. Although Insight was more about potential as in 'these are good-hearted people who would likely reject and oppose HYDRA's new world order' than simply powers. He was always a potential superhero, but the weird part was Zola calling him out by name like his name would have meant anything to steve rogers at that time. Yeah, he was a very prominent neurosurgeon, but there's plenty of those in the world and they aren't household names.

Because, like the shout-out in Iron Man 2 to Life Model Decoys it was just pointless name dropping to give the appearance of a connected universe, even though it doesn't actually connect anything.

Like if Daisy gets her hands on some, would she transform and become the post terrigenisis badass or would the server just throw an uncaught error? It runs on literal magic, I think it's probably adaptable.

I would've much preferred them encountering a sudden pillar of fire and assuming Robbie was in it but then it turns out to be Spawn, as an April Fools joke.

After the big let-down of Iron Fist and the overall descent-into-cruddiness of all of the CW superhero shows, Agents of Shield still remains something that I enjoy week after week. (I also just watched the first episode of Legion. Please tell me it stays this good.)

Finale is thematically still fulfilling it is just a bit less weird and out there than the 7 preceding episodes. EDIT: Anyone else notice the cellist from the S1 episode had a mention on that magazine cover?

So, is everyone just assuming that Madam Hydra is Aida because they forgot that Radcliffe's wife (who Aida was based on) was put into the Framework? Honestly, and this may be reaching, when Fitz kissed Madam Hydra my first thought was "Oh poo poo, is Fitz really Radcliffe who looks like Fitz?" (given that he got put in against his will) and I hope we don't get a scene where Simmons tries to make Fitz remember, like Daisy did with Coulson, only to find out that was never really Fitz and she's screwed. I mean it would be a nasty twist, and I could see the 'happily ever after' that Aida gives Radcliffe and his (wife? lover?) is that they get to be together and Run Bartertown.

Radcliffe exists in the Framework as a prominent scientist, unless you're freaky-fridaying them. And Madam Aidra had knowledge of Simmons and was hiding her from Fitz, which lends more credence to it's not Radcliffe since she wouldn't needs to hide Simmons from Radcliffe. More likely Radcliffe is a UK-based scientist working on a cure for Inumananity, possibly in contact with Fitz, dating proto-Aida with no knowledge of Madam Aidra, who would likely have isolated herself from all except the top of the autocratic organization, only having contact with a few people she knows she needs to control.

question: did Simmons namedrop "daisy" during her confrontation with Coulson? I'm wondering if she did and Coulson's faking the sudden insight, setting him up to be an inside mole inside the resistance. I'm basically just hunting for the future "gotcha" moment. double nine fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Apr 6, 2017 |

When Fitz started making out with Aida, my first thought was "drat it Leopold, she's basically your Daughter. Aida, stop seducing your Dad. At least Fitz has the excuse of a mind wipe, but you know you're being a creep. Knock that off!" Marvel's Agents of O.L.D.B.O.Y.

By the way, the answer to "Where is or what happened to this or that person or thing from the MCU?" is none of it is in the Framework at all because the showrunners don't want to or can't deal with it.

I'm not saying the show is gonna explore it or that the writers even took much of it into account. But it's fun to discuss and imagine what the case may be. Why is this board so against people using their drat imaginations or speculating on world building?

tetrapyloctomy posted:(I also just watched the first episode of Legion. Please tell me it stays this good.) It absolutely does. I'd say the series as a whole is the best TV I've seen full stop. Episode 7 (the penultimate episode of the season) is perhaps the the most mind-fuckingly incredible hour of TV I've ever seen. It's a very tight, beautiful and somewhat surreal TV show.
