Barry Convex posted:Believe what you want, Inhumans on this show are not happening until/unless they're introduced in the films (which Feige did hint could happen earlier than 2018, to be fair). You will probably start to see some TV->film integration, as opposed to just the reverse, beginning with AOU, but that's unlikely to ever be anything more than relatively small cameos or Easter eggs.  DATABASE-199999 ACCESSED SECURITY CLEARANCE: LEVEL 7 DATA COPYING ---WARNING: SPOILERS--- DOWNLOADING FILES...  TRANSMISSION EXPECTED TUESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 9PM EASTERN STANDARD MONITOR CHANNEL ABC Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division Following the birth of the Super-Soldier and the rise of HYDRA in World War II, surviving members of the Strategic Scientific Reserve banded together to face the growing threat of the metaphysical to the borders of the United States of America. They formed the shadow operation called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, informally known as SHIELD. Funded by noted weapons manufacturer Howard Stark and overseen by the military's top general, Chester Phillips, the organisation was run by commended SSR field agent Margaret Carter (Corporal, 1st Class). In the 1950s, they were notably joined by the defected Nazi scientist Arnim Zola. SHIELD flourished in the background through the 20th century, becoming an international sanction-free taskforce answering only to the World Security Council. In mid 90s, directorship was given to Nick Fury (Colonel, with Honors), a veteran of espionage missions. Under his leadership, SHIELD's reach grew to cover the whole world, overseeing the safety of the world from bases such as the Helicarrier, the Triskelion and the Fridge. During this time Fury worked on gathering together the best field agents in the world including names such as Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton. When the metaphysical returned with Tony Stark's transformation into Iron Man, Fury put into action a plan referred to as the Avengers Initiative: to bring together a group of powerful individuals to prepare them to face threats to the world that could not be faced by anyone else. Stark was joined by SHIELD's own Romanoff and Barton; a God of Thunder from a world revealed beyond the sky, Thor; the uncontrollable alter-ego of respected physicist Bruce Banner, the Hulk and the original Super-Soldier from World War II, Steve Rodgers, who had been discovered frozen in suspended animation in the Arctic Circle. After the Chitauri invasion of New York, SHIELD and the Avengers were revealed to the world. With the threat to the world greater than ever, SHIELD was granted new powers with which to defend humanity. Fury initiated Project Insight, a worldwide security network to proactively strike against threats. Unfortunately, Project Insight was hijacked by the return of HYDRA, which had survived as a splinter group within SHIELD itself ever since the recruitment of Zola. The rebirth of HYDRA decimated SHIELD, leaving few loyal agents alive. The highest level SHIELD man left alive was one Philip Coulson, a company man with long years of tenure. Leading his own team of specialists Coulson fought back against HYDRA, destroying their Centipede cell as led by Jonathan Garrett. With Fury retreating into hiding, the title of Director of SHIELD passed on to Coulson. Now he must end the existence of HYDRA and protect the world from all threats both from this world and beyond, and we are watching. Agent Files  PHIL COULSON Alias: Clark Gregg Role: Director of SHIELD Background: Despite appearing to lose his life during the Chitauri invasion, Coulson survived to resume running operations for SHIELD. While his team has been damaged by the depths of HYDRA's infiltration, they continue to strive to uphold the ideals that saw the founding of SHIELD. In his new position as Director, Coulson's task is to rebuild SHIELD while uncovering the details behind his apparent resurrection. FILE UPDATE It appears that Coulson's resurrection has triggered increased mental prowess, presumably linked to- REFERENCE FILE: TAHITI, SECTION 8, PARAGRAKZGKXNTK ***SECURITY LEVEL INSUFFICIENT* itsamagicalplaceitsamagicalplaceitsamagicalplace  MELINDA MAY Alias: Ming-Na Wen Role: Field Agent Background: Despite her notable ability in the field, May transferred to an administrative position until the apparent resurrection of Coulson. Tasked by Fury to keep watch on Coulson, she took a position on his team while reporting on physical and mental wellbeing. Once discovered, she splintered from the team to locate Deputy Director Hill, who had gone into hiding following the return of HYDRA. This regained the trust of Coulson and now she stands with once more, the only agent he trusts to monitor his condition.  SKYE Alias: Chloe Bennett Role: Software Engineer Background: Originally affiliated to the designated web-terrorist group the Rising Tide, Skye joined SHIELD to continue her investigations into her own past. While raised in the foster system, her true parentage remains unknown. What is known is that her birth is related to a former SHIELD mission to China in 1991 that caused the destruction of an entire village. ***WARNING: AGENT DESIGNATED 084*** FURTHER ACCESS RESTRICTED HANDLE WITH CAUTION  LEO FITZ Alias: Iain De Castecker Role: Technological Engineer Background: One of the most successful SHIELD Academy students of the modern era, Fitz's test scores were only matched by his long-term work partner, Jemma Simmons. The pair continued to be placed together throughout their time at SHIELD until they were transferred to Coulson's taskforce. It is believed that he has romantic feelings for Simmons, although these have not been acted upon and should be watched closely. Reports indicate that he was heavily injured in the final assault against Centipede but the extent of the damage is yet to be recorded.  JEMMA SIMMONS Alias: Elizabeth Henstridge Role: Biologist Background: Joining Coulson's taskforce alongside her best friend Fitz, Simmons's initial poor performance in the field has slowly improved due to the stresses of the dangers she has faced. It is believed that she does not reciprocate his feelings, instead showing interest in fellow agent Antoine Triplett, although no action has been taken to pursue these feelings. SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY RECORDED TRUE LOYALTY UNKNOWN  ANTOINE TRIPLETT Alias: B.J. Britt Role: Specialist Background: The last surviving member of Garrett's SHIELD team, Triplett's loyalties remain true to SHIELD, inspired by a patriotism traced back to his grandfather's membership in the Howling Commandos. He has since joined Coulson's team, working in the field with the aid of World War II inventions passed on from his grandfather.  BILLY KOENIG Alias: Patton Oswalt Role: Base Operations Background: Currently stationed at the Playground, Koenig is responsible for base security, a task which has become far more difficult with the arrival of Coulson and his team. His main duties include screening new arrivals, issuing lanyards and playing Call of Duty. CROSS-REFERENCE FILE: ERIC KOENIG FILE DELETED  MARIA HILL Alias: Cobie Smulders Role: Former Agent Background: As one of Fury's most trusted agents, Hill swiftly rose through the ranks all the way to the position of Deputy Director. With the destruction of SHIELD, Hill has taken a position working for Stark Industries. However, her old loyalty to Fury remains firmly in place.  FILE INACCESSIBLE TRACING ROOT ERROR: FILE DOES NOT EXIST HYDRA Affiliates  GRANT WARD Alias: Brett Dalton Role: Terrorist Background: After years of service to SHIELD, Ward declared his true loyalty to HYDRA by executing Victoria Hand. As a young man he had been rescued by Jonathan Garrett and moulded into one of his sworn men. Once his betrayal was discovered by Coulson's team, they chased him down and brought him into captivity facing interrogation.  RAINA Alias: Ruth Negga Role: Metaphysics Expert Background: Unknown.  IAN QUINN Alias: David Conrad Role: Philanthropist Background: While known to the world as a charitable millionaire, Quinn is secretly a HYDRA agent who bankrolled the Centipede project to fund the Deathlok program. In return he has been granted the opportunity to continue his research into the rare element gravitonium. When Garrett's forces were destroyed by the remnants of SHIELD he escaped with the element. Quinn remains at large.  MIKE PETERSON, CODENAME: DEATHLOK Alias: J. August Richards Role: Cybernetic-Enhanced Agent Background: A struggling single-father, Peterson joined the Centipede program so that he could provide for his son. However, the cocktail that gave him powers turned him insane until he was stopped by Coulson's team on their first mission. Later he would fight back against Centipede after they kidnapped his son until an explosion cost him his leg. Under the instruction of Garrett, Centipede gave him a cybernetic leg and further modifications. Threatened with blackmail Peterson, now known as Deathlok, worked for Garrett until turning on him in his final battle. In respect of his actions, SHIELD allowed Deathlok to escape with his son when the rest of Centipede was imprisoned.  FRANKLIN HALL Alias: Ian Hart Role: Biochemist Background: One of the most respected biochemists of the present day, Hall was one of Fitz and Simmons's tutors at university. When Quinn began investigating gravitonium, Hall joined his science team to further his own research. However, his efforts were halted by Coulson and Hall fell into the gravitonium. STATUS: DECEASED U.S. Military  GLENN TALBOT Alias: Adrian Pasdar Role: U.S. Brigadier General Background: When SHIELD was overthrown by HYDRA, the U.S. military launched an offensive against all surviving SHIELD agents. This operation was headed by Glenn Talbot of the United States Air Force. Unable to separate true SHIELD loyalists from HYDRA insurgents, Talbot continues to hunt down any man or woman who has ever held the badge. Unknown Quantities  LANCE HUNTER Alias: Nick Blood  ALPHONSO 'MAC' MACKENZIE Alias: Henry Simmons  ISABELLE HARTLEY Alias: Lucy Lawless  BOBBI MORSE, CODENAME: MOCKINGBIRD Alias: Adrienne Palicki In Memoriam  PEGGY CARTER Alias: Hayley Atwell Role: SHIELD Founder Background: Carter joined the SSR to represent British interests during World War II. She was a loyal confidante to Captain America from his creation up to his disappearance. Following the war, Carter joined Howard Stark's new project, SHIELD. While initially given an office role, her initiative in taking down Zodiac was rewarded with the position of SHIELD Director.

Scapegoat posted:Inhumans are also linked to the Kree (can't remember the whole backstory), so I'm almost certain that was a Kree. Question about rights though, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are both mutants, how did they manage to get them into Avengers (even though they are Avengers, hell Spider-man is an Avenger). They'll have a different origin for their powers, presumably to do with Hydra experimentation.

VBane posted:God that was a great episode. My favorite moment was when Ward revealed in his twisted mind he still thought he was part of the team. I LOVE how they've totally defied the expectations of redemption with him. That was amazing. I want Ward to turn into a psycho stalker ex for the whole team and spend the rest of the series following them around trying to help and not understanding why they won't accept him. Soothing Vapors posted:Hahaha, yeah. In season 2 they've found a way to make May consistently look like the crazy badass that we heard so much about her being last year. Whoever's doing their fight stuff now really stepped their game up. I like that May now exists to get into crazy awesome fights. Even when she barely has a role in the episode's story she just tags along so she can spend some time kicking rear end.

TLG James posted:So May is on Hawkeye's level for fighting? Interesting. Basing this off the fact that they said the assassin almost killed Clint. May and Ward are supposed to be second only to Hawkeye and Black Widow. It took them a while to get there but after May's recent fight scenes and Ward's Hydra reveal I'd say that's a fair assessment. I want a May cameo in Avengers 2 just so she can kick butt with Natasha

Hawkeye is great because he's in a team with a man in iron armour, a man who is the physical peak possible for humans to attain, a Norse god and the Hulk and he manages to hang with them by just being a dude with a bow and arrows. The character was severely underused in Avengers and I'm hoping they'll get into the Cap/Hawkeye bromance in the sequel cause that's such a great relationship.

ToastyPotato posted:I think the no origins thing is being a bit misunderstood. I think it just means there will be no entire films dedicated to introducing a character. They don't want to waste the limited number of films they get out of these contracts with actors by spending an entire film establishing the character. So expect more characters to debut in other films before getting their own, or expect their origins to be established very quickly. I'm guessing Antman, will be the last film to introduce a new main character within its own film. Honestly, I think the new strategy is better since it wastes less time. Yeah, I take it to mean they'll rush through the origin at the start of the movie and then get on with the main story. Like 15 mins of Dr. Strange going to Tibet and training with the Ancient One and then back to Greenwich and Wong for the majority of the movie.

The analogous comic characters haven't had secret identities in years and years. Everyone's always known Bruce was the Hulk, Don Blake got written out of existence at some point, Steve's been publically known as Cap off and on since the 60s, Natasha's always been in covert ops and Tony outed himself over 10 years ago. The only one who sorta has one is Hawkeye but he hasn't got any non-hero friends anyway so it's not really important. Secret identities just aren't a part of their character concepts any more.

I know it starts slow but the Skye/Ward romance ends up being the best part of the show
