"SHE SHOULD FIGHT TO THE DEATH" is probably Fitz saying "okay buy me time here I've got an angle" as opposed to letting someone just wander up and buy Daisy sight unseen.

It's gonna be Mae versus Daisy though lol

Between this and getting his future killswitch flipped, his time in the Matrix is actually going to turn out a net positive.

I mean, y'know, other than killing Director Mace and all. But hey, at least he got to go out as an Inhuman heroic savior of children that way!

I really don't want to deal with The Whole World Hates SHIELD Part the 30th so my hope is that they gate Daisy back to an exact moment where Daisybot is in public and she instantly smashes it to wires and gears.

Look I know zero about the comics and even I know how this plays out:


Daisy: I must summon all my power to defeat Graviton
Graviton: Oh no we have caused a terrible chain reaction
Flint: I will hold the world together with my powers somehow it's ok

Im completely fuckin lost after this episode. Alright up to now but I have problems with time fuckery and keeping things on track. Oh well. I hope it starts to make sense soon

It will probably involve events unfolding with context this time (like Daisy trying to hide and stop her from blowing up the world, thus causing her "last known" footage) and we'll all have this humongous sense of dread until the team finally figures it out and saves the day.




Maybe :ohdear:

Hey can someone remind me, what was the deal with the ghost people in the first part of season 4? I know it had something to do with the book but I can't remember exactly what it was. I also remember there were a few eps where some of the team were ghosted.

Darkhold corrupted Robbie's uncle, and he put together a machine that stuffed all their souls into little boxes so he could gank them for more power. He eventually did and gained earth manipulation magic until Ghost Rider went "lol nah."

That just makes me think about how ridiculous all the "science" is in the Arrowverse and how relatively grounded the science is in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I still watch them all though. I'm not proud.

Most recent Supergirl had her throw a maximum security space prison faster than the speed of light and a star that emitted radiation fatal to organisms with a Y-chromosome.

Please don't turn into the guy who yells about physics in a comic book show.

Then I get laughed at because nobody loving cares but me.

I hope blue lady isn't dead, for a vicious killer general with an unbounded hatred for humans I really liked her. She and Cassius were a great couple. :smith:

That's been the neat thing about this season's villains. From a Kree perspective they're the underdog heroes. From the human perspective, they're goddamn monsters.

Two things.

Two, does the Nightmare Dimension mean Nightmare himself is going to pop out of there at some point? Because he'd be pretty dope as a show's Final Boss.

I mean there was Stark claiming he was one to try and blow off Coulson at the start of the Avengers, but that was also pretty clearly more of an Easter Egg joke than a real thing that exists in that world.

You have to unpack it yourself a little, but at one point they mention there was an original LMD initiative before the mad doctor guy (good lord I've already forgotten his name) finally achieved it, which would jive with Tony knowing about it. And the people it was stolen from?

That's right.

I suspect it's the other way around.

(Mostly because Creel seems to be a genuinely good guy.)

Creel's only in this because they've got something on him. Otherwise he'd just absorb some concrete and tell them to piss off the hard way.

Is Creel a "good guy" or is he just not an "evil guy" along the lines of SHIELD's typical Nazi/Apocalyptic/Eugenic/Slavetrading villains?

Its been awhile and I can't really remember.

he's a low level thug leg breaker. In Netflix Marvel he'd probably be as much of a hero as Frank is. On AoS he's more a wild card tweener.

So, uh, fridge thought. Is Hale actually working for HYDRA, or is she just playing this space faction? She told Coulson that she wanted to avert a coming disaster, she told Alex that she thought HYDRA was a boy's club. I still think it's possible that she's on the up-and-up, only in an incredibly ruthless way.

She literally shot two of her own agents in the head point blank unexpectedly because they couldn’t find a couple of dudes with alien tech. If she had a mustache to twirl, she’d be doing it.

I'm thinking it's not HYDRA HYDRA. The Kree talking to Hale said something about a seat on the... I forget the word he used, not Council, but... I wanna say Confederacy...

Anyway, it's something the Kree are putting together, and they're using HYDRA to bring in people like Hale.


Two beavers are better than one.

The Kree are quietly putting together a pretty good legion of doom here: Ruby, von Strucker, Creel, MODOK, and presumably Graviton. Hale’s super expendable and is going to end up taking Space PCP here pretty soon. Bank it.

Also I thought of a pretty good way to handle Fitz falling apart: he sacrifices himself to enable Daisy to beat Graviton, finally earning her forgiveness and breaking the loop. While everyone consoles the grieving widow in the finale, Enoch swings by and goes “whoops better not create a paradox imma just leave this here” and a thawed Fitz is all “hay guys what did I miss :haw:

Having a space-Fitz be the "real" Fitz seems kinda creepy to me, he wouldn't remember anything about the marriage and being a time badass and it'd be real weird for Jemma too.

Every marriage has it’s rough patches. Sometimes it’s arguments about cities to live in, sometimes it’s that your husband was plucked out of the timeline and returned to you without the memories made in the past six months
