This except Fitz tries to kill Ward and inadvertently lets him escape, instead.

Or the episode shows both happening and the consequences, but we find out at the end that one was a hallucination and the other actually happened.

To be fair, Renner was pretty pissed off about not actually playing Hawkeye for most of Avengers as well.

Aphrodite posted:

He's the only Avenger in all the leaked set photos of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

It might be that he's kind of got the spot Nick Fury had in the first Avengers movie. He's involved in/finds out about 'Plot bad thing' and throws up the A signal to get the team together, with the difference being that he's part of the team from the get-go, and not so much a supporting character or antagonist as last time.

I think the important question here is:
Did the dog leave the door to May's room open? If so, to what end?
Perhaps that sinister dog is behind everything.

Edit: Maybe Garrett killed the "real" Ward, and what we think is Ward is actually the dog in a Ward suit? Because Garrett killed Ward for being weak, and realized the dog was his best student.


Edit2:vvv Do Ward-dogs dream of dorito faces?

My money's on it being Talbot.
They've never met that we know of to prove or disprove, they seem similar to me, Talbot has that rear end in a top hat older brother vibe, and Coulson probably hasn't been like, "hey yo this traitorous dick is in our holding cell, you know him?"

So, it could happen.

The unfortunate part is Deadpool is literally the hardest character I can think of to make a movie about, even though God, I want it. I don't even mind Reynolds in the roll, it wasn't his fault Origins sucked horribly and Deadpool was utterly butchered there.

But still. To do a Deadpool movie right, he's almost going to have to mug the 4th wall, a lot. That's easy to gently caress up in the wrong director's hands.

ED: Also Deadpool seemed to have got softened with over-exposure as far as I can tell. Things I originally liked about the character was just how absolutely loving black comedy-insane it was: Like his cliched comic "mentor" being a poor blind woman he keeps in a razor spike lined room so she won't try to escape. That's just so messed up in an awesome kind of way given he's oblivious to how messed up it is.

These days they seem to just want to make catch phrases and zaniness. Maybe I'm wrong.

Well, obviously things can change and be butchered, but the word is they're using (or starting from) that script that got leaked a few years back.

Having read that script, they would definitely have a handle on both the utter black comedy of the character, and the zaniness. The only real question is how much of that makes it to the screen.
But iirc, reynolds has been a fan of, and pushing that exact script. Maybe there's hope.

I'm not sure what this has to do with what I just said. People cameoing in this show, from the movies, helps this show, which is a good thing for Disney, people cameoing in this show does not help the movies in a way that is significant enough for the effort to be worth it.

Regardless of who appears where, this show will almost certainly always exist as a supplement to the movies in the most unimpactful way to those movies success as possible and that's not something that's been changed by the most recent episode at all.

There is a level past doubling down...

We call this the triple down.

Kind of an out there theory:
They've said categorically that scarlet witch and quicksilver are not inhumans, but what if the source of their powers is?

Whitehall was able to take on some form of Jiaying's power, and It's reasonable to think that Cal's whatever-he-has might have been developed with his knowledge of Inhumans, or just straight up with Jiaying's help. Then there's TAHITI, inhumans are a hybrid of kree and human, and the resurrection process involved bits of kree biology.

Yep. especially because he blabbed the Big Secret in front of everybody, so it'll probably end up being The Johnson family vs The Elders-who-kill-gently caress-ups that Jiaying warned Skye about, and were the reason for keeping the mother/daughter thing secret in the first place.

Well the Kree also declared them abominations and wanted to wipe them out. I'd imagine the news that Kree are around and Skye met one could also account for Afterlife being really cagey.

Stupid very comic booky thought: Did Cal stitch her back together before or after Whitehall died? Did he literally empty the corpse into her?

Maybe she has some nazi parts mixed in now.

As I understood it, he stitched her together ~20 years ago when he found her, just after Whitehall did his thing, and she's been alive ever since.
