Yeah. Not clear on when he'll be back exactly.

Definitely by episode five, which will be the Fitz equivalent of that one where Gemma gets stuck in space. Just him for an entire hour, basically. Uh, with other characters, just no regulars.

I feel like if they were the SHIELD base, they would have recognized it instantly, at least Mack would have.

He did notice that a lot of the stuff was re-purposed. I'm guessing over that amount of time it may have changed a little.

Except in Heroes we never get to see the exciting Dark Future beyond that one episode, it was all a dumb tease for something they were never actually going to do, like everything else in that loving series. Hey, it's Hiro from the future and he's dressed like Neo! Pretty cool, huh? Well, you'll never see him again. Enjoy the show!

AOS has not sunk to those kind of low shenanigans yet, hopefully it never will.

I thought this too. I flinched when she used that same leg to jump kick a dude like an hour later.

If the lighthouse is the old shield base, I'm guessing it's been expanded to added to a great deal. They'll probably recognize it when they have to go back to the oldest part of the base at some point.

OK, I'm gonna jump on the The Lighthouse Is The Old S.H.I.E.L.D. Base train. The name is what does it for me. Two bases back was The Playground. They had to leave that one because Ward. I don't remember what the last base was called, just that Peggy Carter was involved in it, as it had the old S.S.R. logo in some places, and I seem to remember Coulson namedropping her...

It's exactly the kind of thing this show would do, too.

Was there any resolution yet to all the chatter about "these systems seem repurposed"/"this isn't what this was meant to do"/"this seems familiar"? If not, I'd say that leans pretty heavily towards the old base coming back into play. Of course, last we saw it, the base had been utterly destroyed to kill all the LMD versions of the main cast, before they went into the Framework.

The fact that it was built as an underground bunker and not a space station. Not sure how it survived in space at first to be honest, but I'm sure it will come out eventually.

That is what they said, but The Lighthouse has a ton of windows for an underground bunker.

What about an underwater bunker? Would better explain the windows on top of it having any kind of spaceworthiness at all. Plus the apparent masses of water processing and air recycling equipment. (an underground bunker would normally just have surface air scrubbers and a filtered municipal supply with a few backup tanks)

For you, getting a piece of pipe through the leg is a debilitating injury that would take years to fully recover.

The repurposed part probably also has to do with the Kree hijacking it and making themselves admins, keeping track of metrics and probably rearranging systems to do things like dispense crappy food to the Lighthouse automatically and such.

A Johnny Blaze who is free of the curse but still dragged into shenanigans is my favorite Johnny Blaze. I started reading when Danny Ketch was the Rider.

Whoever is currently "the guy" when you read a character's book for the first time is "the real one" in your headcannon. I dunno who this Hal Jordan is* and why he keeps stealing Kyle Rainer's thunder, or who this Barry Allen guy is* that keeps stealing Wally West's schtick, etc.

Characters like Robbie, Jane Foster being Thor, X-23 taking over for Wolverine, etc. stand on their own as being different enough to me so that I don't really mind... or I may just be a Marvel lifer with a passing interest in DC.

R-Type posted:

If they were forced to split off the Marvel and Star Wars stuff and leave it at Netflix while they did their thing with their streaming service wth the traditionally "Disney" stuff that would be okay with me. I mean, if they're doing stuff like Deadpool and Old Man Logan, maybe they need a little separation from the core Disney Brand.

That would be a pleasant surprise.

It works fine when they put him in animated cameo situations. Deadpool's been in episodes of Spiderman, Punisher had that Archie comic adventure and he was disturbed in a PG way in some weird tiny animated show too so I mean, nothing's really off the table.

Disney is a bit of a wildcard, but not too wild, it all sounds like very calculated risks that do tend to the conservative side. They'll gladly take a light risk and allow someone to do something wacky and out of the ordinary, but the safest bet is always that they'll trend towards something lighter.

With that said Disney has a history of greenlighting things that are far, far darker than the competitors with a lot more frequency than other animated movie studios.
