Xtanstic posted:I wonder if Lucy + Darkhold gets solved in part 1 of the season, and somehow the book falls into the Senator's hands or something and we get the usual "oh great a super weapon to wipe out all Inhumans... oh no we released something we can't control now we're all hosed" type of plotline as the overarching arc. So far the season has been solid but I've failed to be hooked because there hasn't been a great overarching plot like in S2 and S3. I could go for sinister racist lady getting torched by Dormammu in "thanks"

Spergatory posted:It's gotta be leading up to Mephisto. You don't have a character on a comic book show say "I made a deal with the devil" and then not do the devil. Unless Cthon is even more devilly. Nah, Cthon is just Cthulhu with the numbers filed off. Deals are Mephisto. You say "I'd do anything for X" in a moment of weakness, and he shows up and goes "o rly?" Plus, didn't Mephisto bond the original Spirit of Vengeance onto Johnny Blaze? They're mushing together a bunch of different Ghost Rider pieces, so it wouldn't surprise me if Racist Senator Lady unleashes Mephisto from the Darkhold somehow. Meanwhile Jeff Mace just  emptily into the distance as a demon rampages through the entire city and SHIELD interns engulfed in flames run around screaming in the background.

I enjoyed Mace getting the holy living hell beat out of him unexpectedly and that makes me a bad person.  I just want some sort of indication he's doing the right thing here. He's made all the right moves but he still feels like American Psycho waiting to happen.

Blazing Ownager posted:It's absolutely masterful and if they do go the secret-bad guy route, it'll be disappointing as hell. I rather just have him make the right call that gets the wrong results, and admit that his style doesn't always work. It's a great, three-dimensional conflict right now and I will be bummed completely out if they just flatten it. It's probably going to go down like that because you basically just described all of Gonzales' season arc. RIP NuSHIELD buddy, you just wanted to make an inhuman friend

BrianWilly posted:I didn't hate the origin flashback we got for Ghost Rider in that last episode. But to be totally honest, all I could think about while I was watching it was "God, this would have been so much cooler with Netflix writing and cinematography and productions." The version we got was honestly really perfunctory and over-narrated. On the other hand, maybe Johnny will show up again later in the season?

Oasx posted:It might have changed since then, but the few episodes of Supergirl I watched in season 1 looked really cheap, so I would actually think it was the show with the smallest budget. It's hit or miss on the CGI, sometimes you get something completely awesome like the Kara/Vastra midair fight, sometimes you get that Red Tornado suit. Things seem to have evened out a lot since the move to CW since (I assume) they have to be more careful where they spend the budget. Well, that, and they've had a season to figure out what works (martian morph effects) and what doesn't (Red Tornado).

The problem with Mace is that his boy-scoutness feels like a front. Whenever he's onscreen, there's a notable discomfort about him. So far, it's just been the standard "SHIELD Director needs to keep things from people sometimes" stuff. But, between Jemma noticing he was lying about heroic actions and vaguely threatening, restrained air he gets while talking to the reporter about inhumans is disconcerting. Throw in the fact that he literally cannot be harmed and can mash most humans into a pulp and things are really tense. Like I said, I hope it turns out in the end the front he's putting up is for the good of everyone and his deep, dark secret is just that he's a normal spy trying to put a public consumer-friendly face on SHIELD to get it back into people's good graces. Coulson seems to trust and admire him, which he did with Gonzales and his crew, so I'm hoping it turns out the same way (minus Mace's death). Still, the potential for an Irredeemable level meltdown is there.

Hahahaha yesssss, they finally Gonzales'd Mace. He's just a politician with super powers that has to deal with the massive loving headache that is Phil Coulson's Stupid Group of Idiots. Plus, seeing him go full on Patriot mode was really neat. Did not see May LMD already being in the field coming. I wanted Aida to be a good sorceress bot but she's already killed so the law of robotics is out the window

Radcliff. You glorious, evil, deranged son of a bitch. I like how it's implied he's so loving intelligent he took in a massive undiluted hit of Darkhold just by glancing under the cover. Even better, just wait until Radcliff is the LMD and Aida was pulling the strings all along. I'm telling you, it's going to happen. Also I concur that Mace is great and I'm glad they're not going full Hyperion with him. He's slowly learning how Phil Coulson's Stupid loving Team of Idiots rolls and finally realizing how colossally in over his head he is. quote:And it's not really evil, it's just making the reader exceedingly obsessed with the desire of reading more of it, no matter the cost. While also learning from past readers' mistakes and not making it super obvious, apparently. If there is one single thing in the Marvel Universe that I can assure you of, it's that the Darkhold is evil in papyrus format. I'm wondering if they're ever going to go into its history, though. Evil literally wrote it, as in the Primordial Evil, the pure concept before Lucifer even revolted. So yes, going with evil here.

At the beginning of the season I did not like Mace. After last episode I started to like Mace. Now I really loving love Mace. There has not been a single human in this show who has said "god DAMMIT Inhumans are people, they should be treated like full citizens you morons" with more conviction. As far as I'm concerned, now that the cards are on the table, just keep a backup of Not Hyde Juice under the desk and juice up when you suit up. Hourman Patriot is just fine by me.

STAC Goat posted:In fairness in a long history of "bad cop" interrogation scenes on TV a severed head was a pretty convincing one. Plus she started it off with "Hi, I was undercover in HYDRA too! Here are the tools you used. Here is a severed head to prove I am not loving around." Knowledge of what's about to happen to him (in his mind) plus the fact that this chipper British lass is nonchalantly threatening to torture the poo poo out of you is probably unnerving enough to overcome any money Senator Nadir is paying them.

I remember Fury specifically giving them directions to give to Coulson, and when Coulson asked if he was being threatened, the response was an unflinching "absolutely 100%."
