If I were Ghost Rider, that's all I would do while driving.

I mean come on, my skull would be on fire and I'd have to punish the wicked. Might as well get some benefit out of it.

Also Baron Blood, Iron Cross, Warrior Woman, Super Axis, Brain Drain, Lady Lotus, U-Man, Yellow Claw, Agent Axis and probably a bunch more I've forgotten. I really loved the Roy Thomas/Sal Buscema Invaders series.

I did laugh when I saw Fear the Walking Dead's psycho kid as Robbie's little brother in the wheel chair. Hopefully he will be better on this show.

My first reaction was to laugh and wonder if he's getting himself killed off on Fear soon.

Then my second reaction was hoping someone did the "It'll be alright, you're safe now" speech when he got on a show without some of the most :catdrugs: writing I've ever seen in my loving life.

Rest assured, if a time-traveling airplane happens on SHIELD, it'll probably be intentional.

ED: Seriously anyone who hasn't seen that show, it starts off slow and boring and skips all the parts it was designed to show, and then the writers just bought all the cocaine for the second season and now it's also incomprehensible bullshit loaded with glaring holes. In other words, yeah, you're not missing much except a cast that deserves better.

Oh man, of all the Netflix characters that is far and away the best one to make the transition and tie them together, so I hope it happens. Anything with Daredevil or Jessica Jones would feel tacked on, even if it was the supporting cast, somehow. But The Punisher can just show up the gently caress out of nowhere and unload with way, way too many weapons, and feel absolutely integrated.

There wouldn't even have to be the dull setting up the characters and how they interact, or the "why don't these people ever work together again aside from copyright issues?" Because again, if he just shows up out of loving nowhere everyone knows what he's about already and the very nature of the character means he won't stick around.

ED: The darker and more violent tone from the timeslot shift is good timing too. While Punisher proper should be a total R in the violence territory, you could easily still do it justice in a cross-over from what I've seen so far. And SHIELD has really good fight choreographers too; not quite with martial arts as much as the Netflix series, but with gun play they might even have a leg up, so I really hope this is true.

Look, I know the supernatural isn't something that's supposed to happen, but it does happen.

That whole album is great and could totally apply to Ghost Rider. Maybe the 2099 version in some places, but still.

Because we already know the Director is another actor, therefore IF his he's a Koenig, it's not one of the Oswalts.

I love me some Patton Oswalt, don't get me wrong. I want him to be on this show all the time.

The color coding lanyards reeks of of Koenig's influence, by the way.

You could very well be right, honestly that didnt even occur to me as a possibility. I just assume that anything like that in comicbook media is being played straight. It is after all a universe with SWORD, SHIELD, HARM (OK that one was played for laughs), MODOK and MODOM.

It was very very clearly a joke both regarding your latter point and also what we found out later is the new Director's love of bureaucracy.

I remember when the show first started there was a scene in the pilot about Mike Peterson smashing his boss with a huge hunk of metal. Later on, they mentioned that the guy survived, so people here were rolling their eyes about how the show didn't have the balls to horribly kill anyone.

Then a month or so later we got the Scorch episode. :stare:

I've managed to avoid it all so far. Hopefully the next episode opens with Coulson and the new guy meeting.

no, nothing happened to her. drat don't scare me like that.

And yea, Punisher would be perfect to show up on AoS. Though having Daisy and Jessica Jones team up would be also kind of awesome.

We know who's playing him, not who he is in-universe. Just "some character with a Marvel history".
