Silly question: The self-sealing hot weld the Howling Commandos used on the 084 box in the opener. Is that an actual real-life thing? If so, what's it called?

I'm tipping some kind of thermite tape, which may or may not exist. Thermite's original use was for welding stuff, and there different types of thermite for different things. Never seen or heard of anyone actually using a tape based thermite, probably work of a self lighting magnesium ribbon.

I've never seen it or heard of it working in construction over 20 years

Well it kind of is. It's a diet thing too though. It's a fairly well known thing that Asian women often look a lot younger for a lot longer.

I don't think they'll ever make Ward an outright villain again. That ship may have left port. My completely unsubstantiated guess is that they'll eventually be going for a "chipped Spike" situation where they figure out a way to enforce his loyalty and maybe even trust in that enforcement, but he'll never be part of "the team" either.

Tipping Ward will get sprung and end up working for Sky's dad, who has his own agenda over Hydra.

The central character needs to be pretty much a hard boiled British conman or it's already off the rails. Any word on the TV show?

Watch the show, it's hard boiled and plenty british

Maybe its one of the scenes that is finished, who knows.

I'm not defending it, although it was great. Just seems like a neckbeard thing to do, panning the entire thing from one scene, watched out of context.

"Born in a small Chinese village in Hunan Province, the child who would eventually become known as Skye was merely an infant when her parents butchered the entire village populace. It was speculated that the villagers were trying to protect the girl from her own parents, who were dangerously unstable sociopaths." from the wiki

She's Chinese born. Everyone wins.

Nerdrage -
Nerdrage is both the emotion felt when a nerd is exposed to something that directly contradicts the core beliefs of their obsession, and the reactionary diatribe by the nerd that inevitably follows.

I don't buy the Inhumans theory myself, but it sounds like we should find out fairly soon whether there's any merit to it.

You don't have to buy it man, but they are sure as poo poo selling it.

The notion that Marvel Studios proper would let a mere TV series, one with which by all indications they have minimal hands-on creative involvement, be the first to take the Inhumans toys out of the box.

By that, I don't just mean that this show can't introduce Black Bolt, Medusa, etc.; I'm sure that's obvious enough to everyone. What I can't get past right now is the idea that Studios would allow SHIELD to deliver some non-trivial modicum of exposition about (some combination of) Inhuman society, their quasi-cosmic origins, or Terrigenesis - and with the city as the main focus of the final episodes of the year, surely some modicum of exposition about its origins and purpose is necessary. Not before those crucial backstory elements are set up in a film with a much, much bigger budget in which Feige et al. actually have their hands, anyway.

Backstories and characters aside you need the mythos. Getting a grip on what a kree and Inhuman is, will take some carefully placed flash cards for your average dimwit.

Does it? Thor and GotG introduced entire corners of the MCU with relatively little setup in previous films (GotG had a bit more in Avengers and TDW's credits scenes, but as far as the actual story went it was easily one of the more self-contained films Marvel has done), and Dr. Strange looks to do the same for the magic side of the MCU.

That said, Feige did more or less say that there would be some Inhumans setup in the MCU sooner than November 2018. I just don't think SHIELD is what he was referring to.

I dunno man, AoS isn't an island, shits happening in the universe. It's good to have movie level mythos and possibly characters come in to this show so the movies are not crammed full of stuff that can have a season of TV to be introduced, and then tent pole the greater story. It works for me, thus far.

...well, obviously it's one universe, but what "movie-level mythos and characters" thus far have been introduced in the TV series first? The closest thing is the presumably-Kree corpse, and they likely only got away with showing that before GotG by revealing absolutely nothing about what it was or where it came from in S1. Not really a workable model for every ongoing subplot.

I didn't say any had, i said it would be good to have it (if that is indeed what they are doing).

I think your being super nit picky about it. Anything that expands the universe for the better is totally fine with me. But it's your right to protest homeslice, go nuts.
