I bet the writers were just waiting for an excuse to bring Ward back. I almost hope that this version is a good guy, we know that Brett Dalton can play a great villain, but I would like to see him take a shot at making up for the weak writing in season one.
He's good as the male hero in Until Dawn

I hope they go all out and just have EVERYONE who's ever appeared on the show come back for at least a cameo or something.
You know with the talks about the show not getting renewed for a 5th season, this would be a decent way to make a final season arc.

I dunno. LMDs play a pretty big part in the comics, mainly as an out for killing characters, but also sometimes to make a character essentially immortal (see: Agent Preston), though most don't know they're an LMD (see: Dum Dum Duggan). This paves the way to bring them to the big screen portion of the MCU.
I mean Tony did make an LMD joke in the first Avengers movie so it wouldn't be unprecedented

Honestly the end of this Darkhold arc should be them giving it to someone who works for Wong which explains why the book is in Dr. Strange.

Even hardcore comic nerds don't care that much. Marvel has been pushing inhumans because Fox owns the film rights to mutants plain and simple.
And yet there are still a ton more X-Men comics compared to Inhuman comics

You know reading the Iron Fist reviews its kind of amazing how AOS gets the shaft from most people and how the Netflix series are so much more better and yet AOS does really well at the things that the Netflix series struggles at like pacing.

Poor pacing is harder to notice when you can binge an entire series in a weekend.

When a series is trickled out on a traditional schedule it's more noticeable. Especially when they do poo poo like 6 week breaks.
No I'm saying AOS is actually pretty good at pacing when you binge watch a season in a couple of days.

Yes. The reason she changed her name probably isn't that the audience is biased against Chinese people and their names. Chloe Bennet sounds just way cooler while Chloe Wang is simply a name which wouldn't really get publicity in Hollywood. (At least not the good kind). And a huge amount of artist names are made up, to the point where no one would even know the original one. Just ask Norma Jean Mortensen, Joaquin Rafael Bottom, Mark Sinclair Vincent or Olivia Jane Cockburn.
Or Michael John Douglas

Aside from the lackluster fighting, my biggest complaint was: why is Gau part of the Hand? How is that a thing? There was no connection to that in Daredevil, she was doing her own thing.
They wanted to streamline the big villain for the Defenders so everything turns out to be part of the Hand

I'm more concerned that the show introduces, and then forgets, that she has telekinesis

I cant remember if she's every made explicitly NOT Hand in DD. DD S1 has her being all weird and mystical, and Nobou being a random ninja, and S2 retcons him into being Hand, right?
Nah Nobou was always Hand judging by his ninja gear in DD S1

Man I wonder how Clark Gregg feels about Iron Fist being lame

Probably nothing, but still he is a big fan of the character so it must hurt to know that his favorite character is like the one really big misstep of the MCU

There's an interview Joss Whedon about his Batgirl movie and predictably he voices some issues he had with Marvel, including him disagreeing with the decision to resurrect Coulson for AoS.
He was also upset that Marvel does not plan to continue or address the "Black Widow is barren" or the Hulk/Widow romance subplot. :lol:

I think it's safe to assume that any non-mutant-related Marvel show is confirmed to be a part of the MCU, at least technically. Even Cloak and Dagger -- which will be on Freeform next year -- explicitly shows Roxxon, which was a part of Agent Carter. I'm sure Runaways will have that kind of stuff too.

As to how much it'll actually cross over to other shows, set expectations at ground level or lower. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Roxxon is the one thing that is universal in the MCU: its been in IM3, AOS, Agent Carter, Daredevil, and now Cloak and Dagger
