Was kinda hoping Ward wouldn't be on the show at all this year. :sigh:

Why? Ward was pretty awesome when he reverted to the sociopath that was his natural personality. His acting where he literally couldn't figure out why Skye was rejecting him, when he betrayed the team was goddamn amazing.

He was on a mission! God, why can't she understand that? When you have a mission, that's what you do. It's a job. Killing her friends was part of the mission. Hell, he was supposed to kill Skye, but he just kidnapped her instead. He bent the mission's parameters slightly for her! That's worth, like a trip to Tahiti or something. It's totally a special connection they have.

I really like the bizzaro "Sociopath discovers love" thing Ward's doing. How wonderfully disconnected from reality he is.

Also his genuine hurt when she called him a Nazi

The main key now is that Shield is completely disconnected from the Movie characters and their actions.

Rodgers/Stark and the others are kinda running their own thing now not at SHIELD or anyone's beck and call.

Shield is now completely controlled by regulars on the show. Which means the writers have way more control over plots regarding SHIELD.


Also yeah, The Cinematography in this episode was goddamn fantastic and I hope they can keep it up.

I laid out the timeline for a co-worker today that between the release of Guardians, the second season premiere of AOS, Agent Carter, more AOS, Avengers 2, Daredevil, and Ant-Man, Marvel has things planned, at least, almost a year in advance in the MCU.

I'm gonna be very disappointed if anything Ward says has a different intent behind it than "God I wanna get out of this cell so I can be with my hydra pals again".

Why?

Ward had no allegiance with Hydra, he was loyal to One dude. He is not a "true believer". Everything is a mission to him, literally the only thing/person he cares about now is Skye as his sociopathic rear end fell in love with her. What I would get pissy about is if Skye actually gets into a relationship with the dude.

Alien juice didn't make Coulson and Garret that good at effortlessly murdering large numbers of people.

I'm glad they ditched the Simmons in Hydra plot because it would strain my credibility for her to actually be very successful at it. She really is a bad liar.


If she's not seriously questioned she doesn't have to lie. She just does her job as usually sending off intel as nessecary, when she went under suspicion she did lie terribly. Luckily the person she lied to was also a shield agent.

She gained her trust not by lying but by "saving" the life of a Hydra higher up.

She probably only had to lie once, and once she was in as long as she did whatever science they wanted her to do they didn't have a reason to seriously question her.

I'm not a comics guy either, but basically Ultron is a homicidal AI. In the comics he was created by a scientist named Hank Pym, but his movie origin will be that he's an AI Stark made (or possibly got from elsewhere, a synopsis mentions Stark 'reviving a dormant peacekeeping program'). Basically, after Iron Man 3 Stark doesn't want to be Iron Man anymore, so he makes an army of drones called the Iron Legion, led by the Ultron AI, to protect the Earth. Ultron reasons that the Avengers, and humans, are the problem, and the best way to protect the Earth is to render them extinct. The Avengers take issue with this.

The alien from the Avengers teaser (and Guardians of the Galaxy) is Thanos. He is the major villain of the Marvel movie saga and will eventually fight the Avengers personally, but as far as we know Ultron is unrelated to him. How Age of Ultron will factor into the Thanos arc or if it will at all is unknown.


Yeah, it's called the Hulkbuster armour. Its purpose is pretty much all there in the name. Apparently it never really works in the comics though.

Yeah, Hulkbuster is not something usually used to defeat the Hulk so much as engage him and hopefully get Banner to calm the gently caress down, or with other heroes to subdue him.
