I stopped watching Agents of SHIELD after about 6 episodes because it was so bland. I kinda want to start watching it again now though because it seems like it could go in an interesting direction. Plus, Ward was one of the things I disliked about the show.

The latest episode outright stated that the Ward from previous episodes wasn't really "him." Literally everything that he had done previously was a coldly calculated move to ingratiate himself with the team.

I'm really hoping they decide to stick with Ward as a villain, even if he "redeems" himself later on. This last episode really laid on that he wasn't in a cover, that he was working with Chet the entire time "I knew him as a teenager." I'm wouldn't be surprised to see him "turn good" because of his love for Hax0r Chick, but I really hope they don't go with him infiltrating Hydra

e X posted:If you seriously consider that the tv series might not use the character due to the negative connotation in the comics, you vastly overestimate how many people read and care about comics nowadays. Not saying the character will be in the show, but if he isn't, it wont because of a decade old storyline. Because what you really want when people Google the character you just debuted is "serial rapist" and quote:Later, in Final Crisis: Revelations #1, the Spectre delivered final judgment on Doctor Light (who is discovered in the middle of a mock superhero rape orgy with various women dressed as Teen Titans)

Counterpoint, Dr. Light still used as a gag character on Teen Titans Go. Seriously though, DC,

Is Dr. Light still a lobotomized rapist in the new 52? The only new 52 book I follow is flash and they seem to be following that pretty heavily for the flash adaptation if the origin and the costume are anything to go by.

I don't know why TV episodes have covers now, but at least they're not half-assing it.

They went the complete opposite with him in the New 52. There he was a committed scientist, loving father and husband (to the woman who was the female Doctor Light in the old universe) who didn't like hurting people and helped out the Justice League, who got his powers as a result of an accident investigating a secret society of villains. ...Then after about 6 issues he got his head blown off by Superman's heat vision when a super villain jabbed a piece of Kryptonite into Clark's brain. I think his ghost sometimes haunts Clark now.

Not to resurrect all the acronym talk from way back (even though that's exactly what i'm doing), but I am pretty sure SWORD as an organization preceded Whedon by a long while. I remember them showing up in that X-force arc where they go on a road trip and end up in a town with dying mutant kids or something morbid like that.

The UK is up to the End of the Beginning episode on AoS, and the series is finally getting it together. The look of Deathlok isn't great, but it's still evolving. I am hoping they don't drag out the three current mysteries for too long. I'm glad I stuck with the series, it's certainly improved since the first couple of episodes. e: Got the title wrong.

They never did say what H.A.M.M.E.R. stood for, right? I remember Osborn just declaring the organization was called H.A.M.M.E.R., telling someone to come up with what it stood for, and ignoring it from there.

I wonder when we'll get a new X-Men cartoon, it's been a while since WATXM ended. I think there's been some rumors of Marvel having a Guardians of the Galaxy series for 2015.

It doesn't look good for X-Men being in this new Marvel Animated... group, but the Guardians have been featured in USM and AA at this point so it is almost a given that they will get a show.

So they're definitely never going to make Ward good again seeing as he murdered Patton Oswalt's character.

That's his sixth on screen kill, I think we're a ways past speculating that everyone is just walking around with squib packs taped to their heads. Maybe they'd try and rehabilitate him through a mind control excuse or something but it seems unlikely, we already know more of evil Ward's back story than we ever found out about the boy scout version, also he's a vastly better character.

A spear has has an older place in our collective story then the sword and was significantly more useful in battle, add the ancient spear that can pierce anything and shield that cannot be pierced fable and I could see someone thinking it legitimizes the idea and gives it weight. It overlooks swords having a deeper connection to violence and war then spears as spears originated with hunting and the sword is seen more as the first tool designed exclusively to kill another human but that more delving into the reasons the idea doesn't resonate with people as I've never read the story.
