You're leaving out the part where you and your sister made a super important blood pact to murder each other if the thing that just happened happens. I feel like that's really important.

The MSJ posted:Promo for the next episode spoils the death of an important character! Noooooo, why must the PR guy die?!! I'm terrible at keeping track of those guys. First I thought Mace's right hand man was the one who got his neck snapped by Ada, but then he was still around irritating everyone so I thought he was also an LMD, but apparently not. Now I guess it doesn't matter.

LMD May figures out that she's an LMD, lets Fitz fix her programming, and she joins the team. Two Mays!

Cold open with Coulson in the shower. Suddenly there's May behind him and they kiss passionately. The camera pans and there is a second May in front of him, whom he also kisses passionately. The two Mays start making out as steam obscures our view. Smash cut to Coulson snapping to a sitting position in bed as his alarm goes off. Insert witty Star Wars quip.

I'm not saying it's not the case, but having the Netflix shows exist at a different point in the timeline is incredibly stupid and confusing, especially when they're just being coy and kind of hinting vaguely at it. Everything in the MCU has always existed in sync with reality before, and to make one confusing exception to that for zero benefit is dumb. Netflix can kinda just do it's own thing and still be happening at the same time as literally everything else ever.

Aida was never effected by the Darkhold, it's just a machine doing what it was programmed to do. It's always been Radcliffe.

The whole not-Shangri-la plotline had a bunch of inconsistencies. One of the characters specifically has a line saying they've tried and couldn't figure out how to separate the death metal ( ) from the crystals. They also constantly complain about how there's not enough crystals. Apparently both of these problems can be solved by dropping them in water.STAC Goat posted:Yeah, the gamble of becoming an inhuman is iffy. Daisy was really hosed up until her mom taught her how to control it. Raina got suicidal over her physical changes. Gordon went blind and became a "freak" that would have been an issue if he had to live in any community besides an inhuman one. Lash's personality completely changed and he turned into a monster/murderer. That melty guy trashed everyone and he the cops trying to gun him down. Shits traumatic even if you don't get kind of ugly. And yet inhumans bristle at the idea that maybe living completely normal lives amongst everyone else might not be the best call.

One of the major themes of this season has been shield trying to fix their utterly decimated public image. That's the whole reason Mace exists. No one would buy it if they started an investigation of their most vocal opponent in the senate.

That was a pretty good episode. I guess I'm literally the only person on earth who doesn't see what the big deal is with Oswalt. It's probably because the first several times I've heard about him, it's been from him wading into the sea of human feces that is twitter *ahem* activism. At least the sister was awesome. The characters are fine as a joke maybe once a season, but the show would suffer if they became regulars. Adding them to the list of announced spinoffs that are never going to happen is fine I guess. And I guess they've given up on subtly when it comes to cross promotional Star Wars references. I continue to like what they're doing with the LMDs. They keep hinting at maybe they'll become more than machines, or have a soul or whatever. Haha, nope, it's just trying to gently caress with your head the way it was programmed to, into the incinerator! I hope they don't reverse course by the end, or at the very least, limit it to Aida since she actually read the book. Also, Coulson being the G-Man from Half Life was entertaining.

It would make sense to have multiple Aidas, especially if you're going to send one into a SHIELD base to steal something. I think they shared a majority if not all of their memories and there really isn't a huge distinction between which was first and which was second. Or third and fourth for that matter. He easily built at least 4 robots with no one knowing, who's to say how many he ended up with.

After the constant Star Wars references, especially the last episode, not to mention all Mack's move talk about evil robots, it's kinda jarring how the word "Matrix" apparently cannot be uttered, while they deal with getting jacked into virtual worlds, and crib one scenario entirely from the movie. After 'Huh, Tatooine' there's no way Coulson could resist a 'Whoa'.

Holy poo poo this show. I was just thinking man, only AoS on the DVR, I wish it was tomorrow for the Expanse instead. If there was a way for TV shows to play poker, AoS would always win. It has this ability, even years after S1 to still make you underestimate it. After getting blown away over and over again you'd think I'd come to expect it, but nope, surprise motherfucker. 3 things: The way Radcliff was talking, it seems that time moves much faster in the I don't think that Aida and Radcliff 'decided' Hydra should win in the framework. All they did is go back and let every person change their single biggest regret. Coulson never joined Shield, May let super dangerous mind control girl live, Mack's kid survived, etc. These changes resulted in Hydra winning. There's no telling what the other's regrets are. They said Daisy and Jemma would suddenly jump into their avatars, I took this to mean Jemma would wake up in her coffin, you know, because Jemma hasn't had a lovely enough day yet today. But I don't know, that might not be the case, is Jemma going to be a decaying corpse in the framework? DS9 had O'Brien must suffer. I'm starting to think AoS has Simmons must suffer. So much poo poo happens to that poor girl.

Actually weren't they expecting Simmons to join the framework eventually as well? They kept talking about scanning her brain, I have to assume she was getting replaced too. How was that supposed to work if she was dead?

What's Sam Jackson doing? I'm hoping he was only filming 2 or 3 movies during the month they shot this last part of the season, all in all that's a really light month for him, maybe he can come back too.

Network TV seems to be getting aggressively shittier this year. Every network show I watch has had multiple month+ long breaks, AoS, Bob's Burgers, Lucifer. It's like they're upset that their slide into irrelevance isn't going fast enough and actively want to push people towards better sources of media even faster. Maybe they're really doing us all a favor.

notthegoatseguy posted:I know AOS is on time with the MCU but the Netflix series clearly aren't. As someone else suggested they probably all take place in the course of a couple months. Everyone says this, but I got the impression that there was some time between S1 and S2 of Daredevil. Their law firm had time to earn a reputation as helping people who can't pay with cash, and gather a ton of clients, that didn't happen over a weekend. Also they kinda skimmed over it, but both Fisk and Castle's trials happened. In real life that would have taken years, but you have to assume at least a few months each.

I've been a shameful comic book movie fan since forever, but I thought Dr. Strange was boring as poo poo. It was one part Batman Begins, one part Iron Man with some shiny effects and glowy bits, and there wasn't one ounce of anything new in it at all. It's the first MCU/MCTV thing that I really didn't enjoy at all. At least Ant Man had a charismatic lead and some cameos and a funny joke about Baskin Robbins. The only thing I liked about Strange was that I loved Benedict Wong from Marco Polo, but he was wasted in this movie. I'm really not trying to get all hot take about this or anything, I just don't see the appeal at all. I guess the last 3 minutes of the movie were cool.

I keep copies of a lot less shows than I used to, just things that I really feel likely to watch again. I love my netflix, but playing wack-a-mole with half a dozen subscription services to have access to the show or movie I feel like watching at the time can get hosed.

We get occasional cheesecake shots, but this isn't shot as a cheesecake show. I like AoS well enough, but I couldn't stand to think about it constantly like this.

It's not just that it's an origin story, it just feels like such a retread. Marvel stole half the plot of Batman Begins when they made Dr Strange, now we know where the other half of that stolen plot went.

homullus posted:I am hoping that the thing that unifies the four heroes isn't "bad guys killed Claire Temple." With SHIELD, they started out nominally as a team and stuff went the other way. That would actually be a great way to tie the Netflix stuff to AoS and even the MCU to some degree. A post credits scene of Claire waking up in a hospital. Phil is there and says "Died to bring the team together huh?" "Yep" *Phil gives an understanding, sympathetic nod* *Rosario Dawson joins AoS*

I wan't entirely on board with the same characters but in an alternative world deal at first, especially since Archer just started again with a very similar presence. However, after "Make our society great again" I am 100% on board. Whoever slipped that line into this plotline deserves an Emmy.

I don't see any reason why Aida can't be several places at once. It's not like she's got a limited attention span like a human would. As an AI she could be directly controlling half a dozen avatars in the matrix, monitoring the matrix itself, and controlling a few LMD versions of herself in the real world.

I think there's a good chance no one cares about simulated matrix people except a few folks in this thread. The framework will get turned off and no one will mention it again except maybe Mack. The only satisfying conclusion I can see for that is if Aida becomes human, immediately turns off the framework as she has no use for it anymore, and then ghost rider shows up and stares at her for 7 billion 'deaths'. Of course I also thought it was really dumb how she could previously re-write the framework at will to suit her needs, but apparently now she's just as vulnerable as anyone else inside of it. And she also needs to plug into it like a human, because I guess darkhold computers can't multitask at all. So my views on AIs and simulated realities are very different from the show runners.
