The first half of S1 of AoS is pretty rough because they're stalling until Winter Soldier comes out. After that it gets significantly better. Easily the same level as the Netflix stuff and you get 7 seasons of it instead of 2 or 3. Also Ming Na Wen :blush:

Ward saving Fitz+Simmons by dunking them in the ocean really is a highlight of that reveal. The forlorn look on his face as he does it is :kiss:

AoS was such a great series, though I did give up around the Life Model Decoy/Virtual Reality season?
Just an absolute glut of Superhero TV shows on at the time if I recall. Arrow, Flash, and AoS sorta burnt me out.

people wouldn't keep loving insisting that white people are being erased when a superhero is a person of color like they're Tucker loving Carlson promoting white replacement theory in barely disguised dogwhistles.

Noones saying that at all, but you are accusing posters of racism - so maybe go touch grass.

LMD/Framework arc was pretty much the pinnacle so you went out on a high note! 5, 6, 7 were still good but never reached those heights again, but at least 7 was the best of those three so it ended well.

if I've learned anything from pointlessly keeping up with this thread it's that you can count on Infinitum for the opinion that all comic characters should stay the same as they were the time they were introduced

Also that you should watch Agents of Shield. Or maybe you shouldn't. Or maybe you should. Or maybe...

It's gotta be a little old, because it says the black suit has to be a symbiote, and he wore a regular black suit in No Way Home.

That part made no sense. As in I don't think there's a single live action or even cartoon that comes to mind where he got his powers in middle school or college.

Hell, my kid loves Spidey and His Amazing Friends and those spidey's are in elementary school.

If you never watched it, you should go back to CW supers and check out Legends of Tomorrow. Season 1 is the worst but still kind of okay for Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. In season 2 they finally realized, "Wait a second. We have time-traveling superpeople. Why the gently caress are we trying to be serious about this? We should lean into the fun and get crazy." Which is what they did.

In terms of getting crazy, where does LoT stand next to Doom Patrol and Legion, the gold standards for superhero shows that make you ask what the gently caress you just saw.

In the first season, the Legends end up in the past with Jonah Hex and Stein (half of Firestorm) cures a young H. G. Wells' tuberculosis before the team has to leave abruptly to stop someone from killing younger versions of themselves.

In the series finale, Donald Faison plays Booster Gold.

It's worth a watch.

It's not that like of crazy. More like Saturday morning cartoon wacky shenanigans. Very PG. Every season basically starts with the Legends breaking time, space, magic, and having to fix it.

Mint Na is awesome. It’s also cool to give props to good choreography and the stunt people who destroy themselves and never get credit for anything.

If they’re obscuring the actors face, more likely stunt person.

It's not clear which one did the jump, but one of them was Ming Na fighting her double; there was a whole piece in EW about all the training the two of them did together for that scene following the airing of the ep.
