X-O posted:It's not that cut and dry. There's actually some stuff that went down recently regarding that and is still in process. It's probably going to end up being a joint custody thing at best because almost everything identifiable about them was created by Marvel and when IDW revived the franchise they changed them up quite a bit. Even many years after the ROM license lapsed Marvel still used the Dire Wraiths in stories and merchandise, even in the last couple years. Marvel dropped the case, recently.

Don't really give a poo poo about Ward, but I'll miss Radcliffe. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Radcliffe was the type to back up his consciousness/brainscan somewhere else.

Who's to say that anyone other than Coulson is out there? That whole diner scene and the way he was talking before it felt very much like, if not a "good bye," at least a "until we meet again" without letting them in on it. Not sure why, but I kept on thinking he was going to peace out at any moment.

howe_sam posted:That's because they thought the US government was coming to arrest them. Yes, that's certainly what they showed - I just felt like, with the whole secret he had with Robbie, and the vibe I was getting off of him from the way he played the scene right before the diner, that Coulson was thinking it was going to be, for him, more than just "we are about to be arrested." Clark Gregg played it a bit more wistful than I would have thought, given that they've been fugitives before. Him being the only person we see at the end reinforced that feeling. Ah, well - we'll find out next year. Hell of a season!

When they all froze up in the diner I was convinced for a small moment that they were all LMDs. Which would have been amazing way to wrap up the whole series, the gang still out there, on the run but always one step ahead.

Doctor Doom. Evil authoritarian dictator who has killed thousands and routinely attempts to steal the Devil's power, but who has a nuance history of being brought to tears by 9/11 but opposing Islamophobia. Oh to be trapped outside the MCU and in really bad FF movies. At least he's not a Nazi like Ward.

Darth Brooks posted:Considering that the real Vlad fought Muslim armies that would make sense. Of course he fought Christians too. That's pretty much the reason the writer of that comic made him Islamophobic. Dracula specifically said that Muslim countries are getting more technologically advanced and have more superpowered people now, threatening Europe in the process. He approached Doom because Latveria and Transvylvania both exists near the borders of Europe and the Islamic world. STAC Goat posted:Doctor Doom.

Doom said he views racism as being based on assumptions. So someone as old as Dracula should be above that, especially as Doom describes it Dracula is just a carrier of a magic disease.

Comics have the subtly May with a claw hammer.  At least Vlad isn't sporting the stars and bars.

They're having that conversation at the landing site. Did I also mention the writer is British and created a Muslim woman superhero of Pakistan descent that predated Kamala Khan?

Gotham is exponentially dumber than Agents of SHIELD, and yet has way more explicit gore. Like the scene where one character gets her hand cut off and the camera lingers in close-up on the stump with spurts of blood jetting out of it. And that's played for laughs. Then there's the Jim Gordon's Face Off™ scene.

I feel like this season has been more gory (maybe violent is a better word) than the previous ones, but you are right in that this scene is the hardest to watch in the series. If your wife walked out on robot murder maybe check her for wires.

My wife decided to stop watching AOS because it was getting more violent. We have an impressionable toddler, so that's actually a concern. I had decided to keep watching because I didn't think it was more violent than it had been. Next episode was the one with Simmons stabbing the snot out of of Fitzbot. My son was sitting on my lap when the scene happened and I tried to rotate him away from the screen so he wouldn't see what really looked like a murder. He kept twisting his head to see and I kept rotating the chair so he couldn't. We went back and forth for the length of sequence and later I had to admit to her that the show was not kid safe.

More violent?! First episode is Ward punching a guy unconscious through a utensil drawer. And then they're shooting everyone dead for like four episodes before they actually get ICErs. Seriously, it's a cool show if you're a teenager or older but it wasn't really a for-kids show from the beginning unless you're the kinda person who watched R-rated movies when you were like 11.

Eh, when I was a kid I feel like you saw people shooting guns and punching the bad guys in every TV show. It's kinda generalized violence and typically not very explicit or bloody, whereas a woman screaming and stabbing her boyfriend in the chest, or a very human-looking eye getting power drilled, are much more real, and I would definitely think the one could cause nightmares where the other wouldn't.
