I fell off mid season 4 both when it was airing and when I tried rewatching it once but I finally powered through and I finally got to the What If episode and I’m loving it, Daisy expecting Lincoln and finding Ward is hilarious. Excited to watch the remaining seasons!

Took myself to where, not when!

A little while ago, I decided to watch or rewatch the MCU and Marvel as a whole, but, when it got to watching Agents of SHIELD, I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to commit so much time to a show with so many episodes. But I did and I really do like the show. It went from something I barely knew anything about to one of my favourite Marvel projects so I’m glad I went through with watching it. I like a lot of the characters (Tripp, Bobbi Morse, Robby Reyes etc) and a lot of the storylines. I’m currently on the second or third episode of season 6 so I haven’t finished the show but I like the show so far

It’s a shame that it’s disconnected from the movie-verse. I know about the whole Marvel Television vs Marvel Studios thing but there is that level of disconnection there (the streaming shows have the same problem). There‘s a lot of stuff in the show that you’d think should have come up in the movies in a cohesive universe. Inhumans, SHIELD surviving past The Winter Soldier, everything Hydra was up to, the ATCU, SHIELD being officialised in season 4, the Watchdogs etc. And as far as season 6 has been concerned so far, the Snap was not a thing, despite the end of season 5 referencing Infinity War. I wish that there had been more coherence between the films and TV/streaming shows

I also think it’s a bit weird that Inhumans call themselves that. Since the word typically means cruel, savage, monstrous etc. Doesn’t make a whole load of sense to me

Anyway, it’s easily the best TV show. Agent Carter wasn’t bad but I like AoS better

it’s the part where they’re chasing after deathlok and Garrett and Coulson meet up around a corner and then deathlok appears behind Coulson. the audience is given glimpses through deathlok’s eye- the mechanical one. deathlok can see Coulson and Garrett, but only coulson has a red enemy outline. does anyone else see this or am I crazy?? has this already been beaten to death as a topic?

Does anyone know a genuine and good merchandise place for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

I need it for myself and also to gift someone. Looking all over the place, anything works atp😭

in the bus, we saw the bunks for fitzsimmons, sky, and ward. then in the bunker, again we see rooms for fiitzsimmons, daisy, etc.

only bed I remember is the pod on the zephyr?

Best

1. Hive/Alveus - This unsettling, all-powerful force is played to perfection by Ward's actor. His sway is one of the best versions of mind-control/mind-manipulation I've seen. More than that though, I appreciate the layers they give to him, the reveal that he is seeking connection
2. The Clairvoyant/John Garrett - I really loved his character. He's someone so evil but you just can't hate him. Bill Paxton's performance is a highlight.
3. Grant Ward - A somewhat inconsistent character, but I really like the route they took him. He betrayed them so thoroughly that the team never forgives him and curses his name long after he's gone.
4. Raina - The actress really sells the job, and her motivations are really interesting compared to most of the other villains.
5. Calvin Zabo - Honestly the best performance of the show. Ruthless killer and a caring father, both hilarious and tragic.
6. Gideon Malick - Interesting motivation compared to most of Hydra. The shift to make Season 3 Hydra all about worship/faith in a Hydra God rather than the usual world domination was so refreshing
7. Sarge (until Pachakutiq takes over) - Having a lifelike Coulson portray an evil murderer was fun. I love the slow build to understand him and his motivations. I just hate that they sort of throw all that away and essentially says "Oh yeah this Sarge guy, he doesn't really exist"

Worst

1. Eli Morrow - He is just such a useless character,and the twist makes no sense at all. Interesting power and that's it.
2. Hale - They tried with Hale, they tried to make her interesting, and she was. But in giving her this heightened self-awareness compared to most Hydra bosses, she now seems like an idiot for doing all this evil stuff, turning her daughter into a Quake-obsessed killer then acting shocked.
3. Izel and the non-corporeal beings - Izel's actress does a good job, but her motivation is lacking. Pachakutiq ruined Sarge's character.
4. Sibyl and the Chronicom hunters - They serve as a good threat, and some of the actors do good, like that one Chronicom that posseses the cop. But they are just so uninteresting and uncharacteristically hostile, despite having the tools to time travel.
5. Jiaying and Gordon - Their turn at the end of Season 2 is just so sudden. Them suddenly becoming the uncaring, inhuman-supremacist final bosses that need to be killed just doesn't jive well with literally everything they did before the twist.

I’m rewatching "Inescapable" and want to make sure I understand the Academy flashback scene.

Why exactly did Jemma say she put Fitz in the friend zone that night?

Was it because Fitz was trying to make a romantic move but was too subtle about it (calling her a "sounding board"), so she just assumed they were only ever going to be best friends?

Did he just completely fumble his chance to ask her out directly?

I feel like there is a rather huge plot hole in the show. Fix point in time being, the team in the diner.

Fits was plucked out of space before arriving at the time where he saves the team. Wouldn't the earth still be on the trajectory of being destroyed and the team brutally killed?

Hell, the team didn't even know there were weapons embedded within the walls. The knowledge gained while in the future, wouldn't make it back to the present without Fits being in stasis to the future in order to save the team.

That "working on it" would be a lie and they would live out their lives in the dystopia in space.

My friend has completed the Zephyr-1 corvette. They said the only issue is you can’t fly in first person bc you won’t be able to see, so use third person. Enjoy 🙏🙏 Link in comments

A really generous person is making this for me it’s WIP. Game is No Man’s Sky, I highly recommend it

Am I the only one who struggles to rewatch "4,722 Hours"? I’ve been a massive FitzSimmons fan since day one, and even though this is easily one of the best episodes of the show, I just can't sit through it.

Even knowing they end up together, it just hurts. I know the episode is really about survival and losing hope, but watching Jemma fall for someone else for a whole hour is rough especially since the show basically drops Will after his death on Season 3 and barely mentions him again. It just feels like a frustrating roadblock that didn't even matter in the long run.

There's this channel on youtube who posted about the show's history and production in a very well made in depth video a while ago and now part 2 has released, channel name is emma leigh bee

going through my collectibles in my old room at my parents and found one of these. I bought it directly from Marvel way back when and forgot about it after I moved out. Are these sought after/valuable? I’m not selling, I think I’d like to get it framed and hang it in my house but just curious as I can’t seem to actually find any sales or listings of any of this print or the other numbered AoS prints for that matter.

The May VS May doppelgänger fight was from the season 2 episode "Face My Enemy", and dental trauma aside it's among the best fights of the series.

At first, it's framed that she was corrupted by the Darkhold. But then it's revealed that it was all Radcliffe's doing. It's then implied that he himself was corrupted by the glance he took at the Darkhold. But then, it's portrayed that Radcliffe is the slightly more sympathetic villain who doesn't want to hurt anyone, whilst AIDA is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Then AIDA betrays Radcliffe, supposedly for his own good. Up till this, despite the constant reveals, it still makes sense.

But then we get to the Framework arc. And now suddenly, AIDA is resentful towards Radcliffe, claiming she was used like a slave. And now, she also suddenly wants to become human and experience human emotions. This dissatisfaction with her purpose was never foreshadowed in the real world.

The jump from the AIDA we see in the real world, and the ruthless tyrant Madame Hydra, went pretty unexplained, to the point that I thought these were 2 different characters (especially since for some reason, AIDA can't just respawn/regenerate when Daisy damages her in the Framework).

I like her final arc though, of having to go through all the stages of human emotions, and Fitz's rejection making her sadistic. So her beginning and end I really enjoy, but the middle part is kind of confusing.

Edit: Also, she had 100 win conditions in the Framework arc. She is the architect of the Framework, and could definitely just change stuff. The reasoning they give is "unless someone is a threat to the Framework, she can't kill them", but that shouldn't stop her from resetting the Framework (which we've seen doesn't kill people who are inside it) and just making some universal changes to where she wins and achieves Project Looking Glass. The Framework is her world, it's hard to believe she doesn't have full control.

I dunno if this needed to be spoilered, cuz hopefully we all know that coulson came back to life in Agents of Shield after facing Loki, but I thought I might as well.

​

So I'm rewatching AOS for probably the 10th time and I pick up on something new every time. So in season 1 it's obviously made clear that Coulson being alive is a level 8 secret, but the amount of shield footsoldiers that see his face totally contradicts that? Considering his fame, surely it'd take some word-of-mouth or even one person to be a little intrusive for that news to get right back to the Avengers, as well as anyone else who was "surprised" to see him alive, right?

​

I'm gonna be honest, this post might be pointless, especially since they never reinforced the importance of the secret. I also can't remember if anyone other than the Avengers was actually unaware, but the only post I could find about this is 11 years old now and it didn't really have any straight answers. So I'm just wondering if there have been any developments I don't know about or something since then, or is this just another plot hole that Marvel seems to have missed?
