Fury left him a lot of toys. After that it's just recruiting.

Dammit, I just know that over the next few episodes I'll be paranoid about that and try to keep an eye on which characters do or don't get acknowledged by everyone else in each scene.

Not mad at all, cause Ultimate Nick Fury was designed to look like Sammy J.

The best 'run' of strictly Inhumans is probably the Paul Jenkins mini series from 1998. And I say that as someone that doesn't really care for Jae Lee's art. But it's very much a story involving the Royal Family. So to answer your question I'd there's not really that many Inhumans stories without them because until recently the Inhumans have been more or less just been them.

I don't buy his "in the afterlife" line. Another thing: i don't get why he is working as a doctor despite clearly hating his clients to the point he don't mind killing them. At first, i thought it was him just being amoral but now we know his background if you add the fact his wife got some organs stolen and he seems angry skye don't understand the situation and thinks he is a monster, i think it's possible his violent behavior is a mean to an end, not just blind violence. It looks to me he became crazy because of what he need to do instead of doing what he does because he is crazy.

Maybe the third Ward brother is a twin, and good, can replace him.

My guess is the initial exposure will be limited to inside the city, with Skye and Flower Dress Lady getting powers. Then Hydra is going to get a sample of the gas and go crazy testing it on people to see what happens. Shield already had a huge database of people worth testing it of that Hydra has now.

I like to imagine that there just a room somewhere in SHIELD base that has a giant vat full of Koenigs just floating around in some kind of orange liquid.

One thing is that I feel like they did not do an adequate job of tying Trip to Skye. They wasted time with Trip and Gemma and they should have been building the connection between him and Skye if that is what they wanted.


I'm hoping Ward gets the mask off of her face as a way to further build trust but she is still scarred from it, assuming they are going the Madame Hydra route.

The architect behind their plan is Avi Arad, who really hatres Marvel Studios. He was basically the producer on most Marvel-based films and live-action TV going back to the nineties, but he left the recently founded Marvel Studios in '06 right before it started to get big.

Dude is at least partially responsible for cape movies becoming a thing, he was one of the key people who put together the Spider-Man and X-Men films that kicked off this whole weird fad, but he also writes really long, slightly unhinged open letters about how he is the real genius behind Marvel Studios and Iron Man was his idea and Kevin Feige is a mean poopy head who has no idea how to secure financing for a major motion picture.

It would never work. You'd need to have villains like Dr. Doom, Thanos, and Galactus for her to fight for there to be any suspense at all. And how are you going to get them on the small screen?

I'm hoping she dies soon. Having Ming-Na Wen play two characters is very jarring because she doesn't have the acting skills necessary to pull it off. She needs to make it more obvious that it's actually someone else under the mask.

JT Smiley posted:

Well they did work and live together for close to a year and she's not an inhuman monster so it's understandable that she'd be a little upset over watching a man die.

To be fair, I'm not expecting Anime antics like Revengeance, but something more limited in scale. The mental image that I have that fits inside this universe is like the Highway fight in Cap 2, where the Winter Soldier uses his mechanical arm to rip through the side of a panel van with the knife: http://youtu.be/qXPOl6EjbWg?t=2m35s

Deadpool posted:

Again, I don't want a plucky rag tag group of people forming SHIELD from the ground up on this show. I want Peggy and Jarvis pulling jobs behind the back of the actual agents. That's what was fun about the first two episodes. I don't want a mirror version of SHIELD. If it were to turn into that I would be disappointed.

ToastyPotato posted:

And then you keep it around because you apparently have some kind of mental illness surrounding your own work. Like, why would he keep that gas? I know what he said about not being able to get rid of them. That is kind of what makes him kiiiiiind of a villain. "I made a terrible weapon that I don't want anyone to use again but I won't get rid of it because I made it! It's not enough to keep the blue prints, I have to actually stockpile the stuff in my basement! "

i didn't get that impression. I'm sure she'd be fine with removing their powers only.

Nephthys posted:

On top of what others have said, Bobbi could have pulled a Fitz and messed with the results.

It's simply the coolest answer and thus the least likely. But I dunno who else it could be if there really is going to be a new, third group coming into the picture. Inhuman sleeper agents? Leviathan from Agent Carter? Ultron-controlled LMD's?

SiKboy posted:

We know reader has at least one of them though. I'm working on the assumption that the Inhumans have all of the surviving obelisks, and that (unknown to all the non-inhumans) simply have taken to doing the terragenesis somewhere else so the wrecked temple/city where Skye and Raina were exposed are disused. I'm basing this on the fact we saw eyeless with one of the obelisks in his apartment and that in the flashback to his terragenesis he was in the same recovery room that they were keeping muad'dad in this week, which therefore must not be in the city that shield blew up/flooded.

I believe the theory is actually that he just sewed her up when he found her "body" and her not wolverine powers put her back together the rest of the way.

Robot Hobo posted:

It must have been very annoying when it came time to evaluate her abilities post-Terrigenesis. Skye started making earthquakes, so that was easy to spot. Lincoln started shooting static electricity all over, and Gordon's eyes went away and he started to involuntarily BAMF around, so those were quick answers too. If Skye's Mom just heals well and doesn't age, it may have taken decades to figure that out.

Terrigenesis and then... nothing.

A year later... nothing.

Ten years later... nothing.

30 years later... she's looking great for a middle-aged lady. Um, is that a superpower?

60 years later... Ok, calling it. Super not-aging. Done.

I'll admit I'm eagerly awaiting the day Skye just makes people fall over incapacitated with horrific seizures by rattling their brain or vibrating a few key blood vessels apart.

Looks like no spinoff: http://deadline.com/2015/05/marvel-agents-of-shield-spinoff-dead-abc-1201422761/ Still just glorified rumors at this point but seems likely.

May have been a case of Agent Carter or the spinoff and they went with Carter. I'm okay with that Carter is way more original and they'll might keep Bobbi and Hunter on the main show this way.

Yeah. Like two minutes after I posted this, I thought, "...son of a bitch Jemma is going to be Lady Venom."

Third season starts up three Simmons' pop out, regular Simmons, evolved Simmons and Cavewoman Simmons.
The first episode is a repeat of the Farscape episode My Three Chritions.

That may have been Ben Affleck.



And I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually Ryan Reynolds in the Deadpool costume.


e: Carter's was better. Shield brought quantity to their star video, but the execution was weak. Carter had the man, himself, and dropped the hammer on cross-series references.
