Robot Hobo posted:It must have been very annoying when it came time to evaluate her abilities post-Terrigenesis. Skye started making earthquakes, so that was easy to spot. Lincoln started shooting static electricity all over, and Gordon's eyes went away and he started to involuntarily BAMF around, so those were quick answers too. If Skye's Mom just heals well and doesn't age, it may have taken decades to figure that out. We don't actually have her age. It's entirely possible that she's been hanging around for hundreds of years. Doesn't discount your point, but it may have happened before terrigenesis was ritualized in the "old school" way.

Finally watched the AoS finale and decided to catch up on the thread. Holy hell that was a lot of posts. Pretty great season, Cal won the season overall, Fitz the finale itself. The action had a decided up-turn in quality, though Daredevil kinda lessened the impact of that. In Daredevil, the action is visceral, you feel like Murdoch is under real threat of imminent death. In Skye and most of May's fight scenes, it's much more like a dance, everything choreographed and smooth. This was most apparent when they invaded the hydra base, less so with the fight with the redhead. OTOH, Bobbi's fight with Ward was pretty badass.

Marvel, through their short MCU history has been very good at avoiding the power creep that plagues comic book and superhero shows. Shelving Cal, being willing to kill off nameless inhumans, killing quicksilver. Next season of Agents, with Skye collecting powered people is going to be interesting to see how they avoid getting out of hand. I am banking on them having a strong tie to Civil War and I'm wondering if they adjust the season later so they can have more post civil war episodes.

achillesforever6 posted:What I hate is other than Loki, Nebula, Abomination, and Sam Rockwell; they've been a little too kill happy with the villains, especially involving HYDRA, I mean sure Zola could have probably survive with a back up, but it was really lame how they punk out Strucker just to make Ultron look "dangerous" unless of course that was a body double. Really I just hope they didn't use AIM for Iron Man III just because its a thing from the comics, I want MODOK drat it and the Beekeeper Suits!!! That's probably Marvel's biggest weakness: they've managed good, deeper heroes, but their villains have generally been flavor of the month. We introduce and defeat the villain all in one movie/episode/story arc. Loki and Cal have been some of the few exceptions, with Cal extending over the whole season and Loki being a repeat antagonist. This is one of the reasons that Fisk in Daredevil was also a breath of fresh air. He was a legitimately interesting antagonist and I hope they can keep that sort of thing going in future seasons. And other series properties. Curious if they ever give any sort of character growth to Thanos beyond evil dude that wants to control the infinity stones/universe. They have a Thor movie and a Guardians movie to do so before Infinity Wars comes out.

e: ^^^ not to override the rest of my post, but Heroes: Reborn is his current big project.Ensign_Ricky posted:As awesome as this would be, Jaime Alexander is also potentially going to be very busy now with her own series this fall. You know, people say this a lot when talking about an actor/actress, but really, how often is this actually the case? It's not uncommon for an actor to do a TV series and a few movies and maybe a guest spot or two. Most of these shows are filmed in the same spot, so even someone with a busy shooting schedule can fit some other project in. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 23:47 on May 17, 2015 |

RareAcumen posted:Man, what a good season. My only gripe is that they didn't ever bring back the Gravitonium. That's what I thought they were looking at when they got into the ship and that thing that swallowed Simmons. And it's probably gonna get more people when they come back and the door's still open. Pretty sure they are keeping a lot of that on the shelf. This year they had a pretty clear goal of what they wanted to do: fight hydra and introduce inhumans. They also avoided bad-guy-of-the-week, which has proven to be important to the show. Another character on the shelf is Donald Gill aka Blizzard. I would not be surprised in the least if icy dude and Lincoln had a powered white dude standoff sometime next season.

swickles posted:I don't really follow the inner workings of comic books, but does DC have any plan to establish a universe in a similar way to Marvel? They could easily do the same thing the Justice League in almost any incarnation like how the Avengers was made. I know they have a growing TV interwoven universe, but any plans to bring it to cinema? Batman vs Superman is coming out next March and the first trailer for Suicide Squad just hit too. They're bringing the universe together.

swickles posted:I was hoping that version of the show would be Agents of W.A.R.D. Crazy Ward recruits his own batch of marginally powered people (razor fingers makes a comeback), calls them... I dunno, hidden combatants... They run around doing hero stuff but constantly let Ward down which makes him so  . Ward is accused of being evil.

Finally indoctrinating my friend into AoS and I'm realizing that they really went deep into the foreshadowing. It's all there, Ward's treachery, Raina's ability, pretty much everything important straight into some setup for the 3rd season stuff way back in the last 5 episodes of season 1. Looking forward to where it's going. e: Also the other shield was set up in Providence, the episode directly after Turn, Turn, Turn. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Slashrat posted:I don't remember anything guns from season 1, aside from Doctor Franklin, that haven't already been fired by the end of season 2. Could post what specifically it foreshadowed for season 3? Don't forget that discount Iceman is still out there. Coulson's love of collecting powered people is hinted at. I'm sure, once the season airs, that more stuff will become apparent, though I won't give them too much credit for it, considering that they probably thought that they were just setting up stuff in season 2 that got pushed back.

That gradual progression to hey, we're a place of peace and diplomacy to work out problems between the races of the galaxy, to we give no shits because it is the end and the beginning. Someone needs to produce a new space show quick. A new Star Trek or something. So many classic shows from that period: TNG, DS9, B5, Farscape, Andromeda.

XboxPants posted:Supposedly CBS thinks the movie failure of Nemesis was because of franchise fatigue from having too many Star Trek shows on TV for too long, and in order to avoid that they now want to minimize how much Trek they make - i.e., no new TV series. bull3964 posted:A Star Trek TV show right now would be a competing property with the movies and CBS doesn't want to do that. TV and movie rights for the franchise are held by different owners. TV series and merchandising is controlled by CBS who is not exactly known to be forward thinking. Abrams had a whole plan in place to cover a bunch of different formats including a TV series and a whole chain of movies. CBS dragged their feet, Abrams gave up, went to do the same for Star Wars. A new timeline Stargazer series on Netflix or a lower-decks series on HBO could be so good.

Blazing Ownager posted:Maybe an extreme statement. But that fight was better executed action than a lot of films. I thought Daredevil actually hurt the AoS fight sequences because it showed just how much better they could be. The one-shot felt like a dance where she was just going through the steps, all pre-planned and flowing. There wasn't a moment of danger or "oh poo poo didn't see that coming." The fight with clone girl was a little better, but still was very, very, very choreographed.

Air is lava! posted:Unless they confirm who's beyond those masks, I guess it has to be some random dudes. But I really hate the song either way. To bad. Ben Affleck is sporting a very similar beard right now. No telling with Deadpool, but that looks like a studio Deadpool costume. The mask with the white eyes are set up for computer animation where any fan or publicity costume would have a more customary white mesh over the eyes. e: no, looking closer, that's definitely a fan or even a store bought deadpool. plastic and not the leathery look they went with for the movie. e2: It could be BatWard, but if it is, that's an impressive amount of beard growth from the first weekend in September (the most recent image of him I can find). Otherwise, just have to go with unknown friend or celebrity. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 23, 2015 |

Nah, we already established that it was the metal that was embedded in the terrigen crystals that caused death. The dissolved crystal that's now present in the food supply is transformative for those who have the inhuman gene sequences and has no effect for those that do not.

VDay posted:Neat opening, definitely sets up some questions. Looking forward to the actual episode and this season in general. Fingers crossed that they use the fact that they can just make up Inhumans wisely and come up with some neat powers/characters. They do have to be careful with power creep, but have the advantage that they can really limit the scope of what each character can do (since a lot of them will be brand new, not based on a comic property). This will help prevent things from getting too far out of hand.
