Dexo posted: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. Yea its pretty fuckin' boss when writers just buy all in to the sociopath thing and not just generic villain bullshit. The acting out of the lack of comprehension was great.

It would be incredible and awesome if the show stuck with Ward being crazy person sociopath complete with him speaking his crazy person logic. That way every character and audience understands that he's bonkers yet understands the logic and motivation as far as his actions go.

PunkBoy posted:I will say one of my favorite moments was at the end with Simmons telling Ward, "If I ever see you again, I'll kill you. It wasn't just that to make the moment. What really made the moment was that Ward looked at Skye. Simmons stepped in front of her to block his view, as if protecting her/denying him the pleasure of looking at her and then uttered those words. It was great.

I've been re-watching Season 1, and the crap is still crap. I don't think the foreshadowing is there at all about Ward in any of the earlier episodes. I honestly don't think they decided about his turn at that point. Sure he has poop people skills, but that's not what make him a bad guy. May had crap people skills too. So far the most striking thing to me on the re-watch is how loving tall Agent Hand is.

Slashrat posted:Though I understand why they can't appear on the TV show, it is getting pretty exasperating at this point that no one even brings up the possibility of at least filling in the Avengers on what is going on, or mentions something that explains Coulson & Co not even attempting to have contact with them. I think doing that poo poo would slow the plot down, come across fake as hell, and make AoS something that rides on coat tails instead of stands on its own.

Blazing Ownager posted:How the gently caress is this doing badly in the ratings? It's not that great of a show. The acting is OK for what the show is, but it's nothing special. It's got a lot of problems to deal with so I can understand why. It's a limited run series. It has had almost no world building. It relies on the viewer to remember enough about this character and the world of CA1. It is also a period show. It's doesn't tie into anything other than a movie, for the most part. A movie that came out years ago. Sure, it is in the same world as Agents of SHIELD and the Marvel franchise, but it has noting else to do with it. And its 50 years in the past. It is only going to be an 8 episode run. So far, we're halfway through and we haven't even seen the outside threats to the SSR or any 'machinery' in place to see how it would transform into what SHIELD would be. So, still, nothing really ties it into the present other than we know that this is SHIELD's predecessor.

First season started with a lot of bland characterization. Near the end it was mostly good. Really the only weak spots that persisted throughout then and Season 2 is May is still too much of a blank slate. She still isn't fleshed out enough from the silent bad-rear end stuff and every time they show her with personality it seems out of place. Not that the actress can't pull it off, just that it isn't consistent or persistent enough. The difficulties from here on out include the courage of the writers to keep Ward a sociopath, handling the changes in Skye, and maintaining Fitz.

I think Bobbi and Mac are working for someone else and I am inclined to think it is Talbot but only because I am not entirely sure of the dialogue of their final scene in the episode. For some reason, though, I get the feeling that they don't think they're working against the team.

The "real" shield is where all the money and resources went after hydra was dealt with. Do you really think that such a massive org with dozens of known and secret sites could just go poof? It didn't. Coulson was left with remnants. The higher ups, the level 8, 9s, whatever are still around and they control most of the resources. They were cut out by Hydra and then again by Fury. Fury needed the true boy scout to run things, to fix things. The 'real' shield is everything that was wrong before. But they still have power, and one thing they are certain of is Coulson should not be director. That's why Mack tried to drive a wedge in the team earlier with his argument: he certainly doesn't think Coulson should be running it... The old guard should.

I'd be interested to know what Real SHIELD has been doing with all of their resources. Have they been cruising around avoiding Talbot and everything else and just decided to pop in and spy on Coulson? How did they find out about Coulson's team? How did they find out that Coulson had alien blood in him? Why is Coulson untrustworthy because he has alien blood yet Mack who was possessed by aliens gets a pass? Why is it better for Real Shield to collect and hide technology than where it is currently hidden that only two people can find out about? I don't see a lot of difference here with how much secrecy Gonzales is going about things and how Fury went about it other than it's more 'democratized'. I mean, quick test to see if Real Shield is hypocritical or not: are they working in hand with governments around the world to protect them, or are they still hiding out collecting things?

double nine posted:With that in mind, WTF is ultron/civil war (I assume civil war is simply a shorthand for shield v REALshield, but I don't know per se)? Ultron refers to a Marvel comics plotline that is going to be adapted to the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. From what I can gather, it has something to do with a super smart and strong robot designed by Tony Stark going berserk. Civil War refers to another Marvel comics plotline that will be adapted to Captain America 3. It won't be about Shield vs. Real Shield, it will be about superheroes fighting each other over whether or not they should be registered/regulated/identities known.

Guardians of the Galaxy really has nothing to do with whatever is happening with the earthly superheroes now other than (I think) the same alien being behind some of the chaos.

BlueBayou posted:Guardians was a ton of fun in the theater, but I have had no desire to watch it again. I totally agree with this. It was a fun movie to watch and I enjoyed it, but there's really nothing about it that makes it head and shoulders above everything else. I think more people will share that opinion as time goes on. XboxPants posted:I do think Jemma's a super-racist just like everyone else, but I do still feel she's extremely loyal to Coulson. And among her and Simmons, she does have the double agent experience, so, hey, just saying. I believe you meant to say Fitz instead of Simmons. It is Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. But, regarding Fitz, holy poo poo I hope things get better for him. Seeing how betrayed he was with Ward, and then knowing he's probably feeling the same thing with Mack.

I don't get the feeling that it would help at all. In fact, it probably does more to hurt her. Something got messed up and Jiayang screwed up and now there is not only an outsider chillin' at the compound, but now they know she is giving special treatment to Skye because she is her daughter. As if that's bad enough (it is, with how Jiayang talks) but now there's a new chick in town doing the whole prophet thing.

boom boom boom posted:Does this show get legit good, or good in comparison to how it began? I don't know what you like. I think it was an OK show from the start that had some big flaws. Coulson was its big saving grace to me, so on that we differ. The contrivances of adding Skye to the plot/team really stretch the premise. But, once all that rogue hacker poo poo is dumped to the wayside the show is a lot better for it. Agent May's character from silent bad rear end is tiring, but it slightly evolves into a mother hen confidant type thing, which helps. Fitz and Simmons' characterization isn't all that great in the beginning, it takes a long time (nearly season two) before the show starts to add differences. The monster of the week poo poo is dull, but you kind of need to throw that poo poo in there to give the characters poo poo to do and to build upon them. The whole centipede poo poo does actually go somewhere, and some of the monster of the week poo poo has a purpose to the overall season arc. Some of your other recent concerns seem to be more about the fact that this is a TV show on a TV show budget and not a movie on a movie budget. Other than that, I legit like the show. While before I would have been ashamed to admit I watch the show, I think its cool. I've been trying and trying to get my wife to watch it, and she isn't interested. Drives me fuckin' insane because she likes poo poo like Dr. Who, Warehouse 13, and a whole bunch of other crappy sci fi stuff. She's starting to get into Continuum, though.
