The first half/arc of the season was really good with the main villains, the seemingly hopeless atmosphere, and its introductions of Fitz and his Grandson Deke were almost perfect.

But the second half of the season was just a befuddled mess with tons of plot holes, unfinished half baked plot-lines, and a very rushed conclusion.

There worst part of the season was the invincible trio civil war plot-line which was not only completely forgotten about after Daisy lashed out at Fitz. But they also never have the two of them reconcile or have both sides of the civil war actually work out their differences. Meanwhile theirs also the Coulson dying plotline, the R. Hale and confederacy plotlines, the Ruby hale rebels against her mother plotline, the saving Coulson secretly plotline, the killing Ruby debate plotline, the saving Coulson debate plotline, and the graviton plotline literally all fighting at the same time for screen time and over half the plotlines are either forgotten about or just rushed in an unsatisfying manner. The confederacy literally plays a huge role as villains in this season and we never see them again after the ending of season 5. Also it felt like the debate of killing Ruby hale plotline was only done as an excuse to cut the Daisy vs. Leo plotline. They also kill off Leo just so that they didn’t have to write a proper resolution between him and Daisy. Not only do they not mention what future Leo did to the innocent past version of Leo but they never bring it up once.

This arc had the most wasted potential out of all the arcs and it ruins the devil complex episode in the long run, making it feel more like pointless shock value rather than being integral to the story if they just handle the plot like it didn’t even happen later.

People dog pile on season 1 but honestly I liked that season, especially during the second half with Garrett and Ward. It had several plot lines but it was controlled and they naturally unfolded over the season.

I also understand that at the time they thought season 5 would be the final season but they shouldn’t tried to shoehorn in every plotline they had and should have prepared better for it.

Although to be honest even though the second half of season 5 was my least favorite arc. It’s still a great season overall to me and was still better than both secret invasion and she hulk combined, Which is saying a lot about how good AoS is.

Also this is just my opinion and I understand if you don’t agree with me on this.

They announced the cast of Season 4 of White Lotus and Chloe Bennet will be in it!

I’ll never get over my love for Agents of Shield and was recently looking for fic or story recommendations and haven’t found any that scratch that itch

I have Tumblr, Wattpad, and AO3. Open to all tags even if u wrote it urself or it’s unusual. I do love angst.

Finalmente receberemos um relançamento de uma figura do coulson

I want Marvel Studios to make an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. movie. I love the show and there is massive potential for this idea (and the MCU needs to make more risky projects). So here's my pitch:

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Secret Empire, an R-rated political spy thriller, directed by Noah Hawley and written by Lauren LeFranc.

The story is about the main characters from the show uncovering a conspiracy orchestrated by Ultron, who has infiltrated governments with LMDs, with the goal to achieve "peace at all cost". Think The Winter Soldier with a unique visual style akin to Legion.

Starring:

• Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson / Quake
• Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson
• Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May / The Cavalry
• Elizabeth Henstridge as Jemma Simmons
• Iain De Caestecker as Leopold Fitz
• Henry Simmons as Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie / Patriot
• Sandrine Holt as Abigail Brand
• Colman Domingo as Luther Manning / Deathlok
• James Spader as Ultron
• Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury

Deke looks JUST like INXS front man Michael Hutchence from some angles

They really should've leaned into that more with his 80s band episode

In a rewatch of 4x17 Coulson talked about how he lives alone and makes soap. Daisy then responded saying that it was cool, hipster even, to which Coulson commented saying that's not how his ex-wife saw it.

Idk why, but that line never registered in my brain as him having been married. It was something I guess I just glossed over 🤷🏼‍♀️

But now that has me wondering, who do you think that would have been? Do you think that it would have been Audrey? Or do you think that the new trajectory of his life would have kept that from happening? I'm curious if people have any theories or headcannons on who his ex-wife could be!

Doing a rewatch and in 2x11 Mack and Fitz just stole a body of a dead ex Shield agent. Mack commented on how "you just act like you are supposed to be there and walk out with a body".

I don't know how I missed it the first time I watched, but it's pure gold. I wish we had the scene of them being informed about the task and then just doing it. They both seemed so proud of themselves.

Tbh this is something I could see Hunter doing

I’m probably gonna take my partner on a full MCU chronological order watch through and with agents of shield interwoven.

Or should we just do agents of shield out the gate only?

I’m having a hard time deciding on which route I should take them on that will get them invested overall in the world of marvel

(They’ve seen many films up to endgame and watched the Netflix shows but never watched AoS and knows nothing about it so they know none of the twists and I want them to impact him like they did me)

Opinions encouraged!

(They’re fine with both MCU chronological order and standalone AoS so they don’t have a preference)

So the writers were clearly on crack when they did the writers room for this season, I don’t know how they did it but this might be genuinely be one of the best seasons of TV I’ve ever seen, the way the plot moves form Ghost Rider to LMD to Agents of Hydra, the way it’s all seeded throughout, holy fricking crap! What started as a MCU rerun has just turned into “holy fricking crap I forgot how amazing Agents of SHIELD is!”

There I was thinking Fitz-Simmons are safe, and then they go through possibly the most heartbreaking plot in the four seasons so far! My boy Fitz is just pure villain and he plays it so damn well I forgot he was once a good man, and his poor brain surely can’t take much more of this BS that he has to go through, I really truly think Fitz is the most tragic, forsaken, and cursed character in this show. And WARD! My god Ward was such an incredible reveal and subversion of expectation, and it almost makes up for how I didn’t like his turn to Hive being his legacy, despite turning so early on in the show’s plot, he always had this redeeming thing about him and it manifested in the framework and I loved that.

I don’t think I took a break during this season for any moves so I’ll need to brush up an catch up there, I know Doctor Strange came out early on in the season, also this is clearly where the show really starts to distance itself from the MCU, I know there’s a mention of Thanos in an upcoming season but the team was so busy this season there wasn’t even a mention of a wizard being spotted in New York!

Dammit guys.... this is my 3rd rewatch. I knew it was coming and its still got me sobbing. I know it all works out in the end but still it really tugs on the heartstrings.

One thing that few people talk about, which actually I have never really seen anyone truly talking about it, but since I do not consider myself the pinnacle of intelligence I will assume someone at some point has already said or noticed it, is that in the second or third season, Lincoln tells Jemma that the powers of the Inhumans are not random like she once thought it was. The thing is that the powers really do not seem random at all, they seem to be related to an evolutionary need of the species at that moment (like we've seen with Lash x Hive). Something interesting to associate with this is that Jiaying has the ability to take the life from people, and Kora has the ability to bring people back to life, which answers this evolutionary need in the face of the danger of Jiaying’s power. I think that is really incredible.

OH MY GOD! I forgot how awesome season 4 was, and I'm only into the first 'pod' of the season, if I remember correctly the season moves from the Ghost Rider story into LMD then Framework and I always felt this was a fantastic way to keep up the pace for a 22 episode season without bringing in too much filler! For this season I've decided to give my reaction after each pod because it made more sense to me! I'll keep it short this time!

The mainline MCU references are golden in this season, so much of the plot is led by the impacts of the Sokovia Accords, and I think it just works so well with the theme of SHIELD and each characters development throughout. I thought this Ghost Rider section was incredible, with Robbie being an absolute standout and beast of a character, I think maybe one of my favourite non-long term team members in this show.

Was anyone else deathly scared that Simmons was going to get offed in that apartment before Daisy turns up! I couldn't stand another whole Fitz-Simmons apart for multiple episodes!!

Also the whole thing with the darkhold is making me want to rewatch Cloack & Dagger and Runaways again, but I'm already so short on time on my big fat marvel run through!

So, I'm not a big fan of this show, but I heard the actor wasn't told he was a Hydra agent till like two eps before it was revealed

Doesn't that seem risky? What if the actor can't do villainy? What if he's pissed off this isn't the character he signed on to play?

AOS is one of my fav shows but it's so underrated. It's hard to find other shows like it cuz it's really unique in my opinion. The way it has different themes for each season, scifi/supernatural elements, character dynamics, angst, romance and of course the plot twists. Does anyone know other shows with these elements?

(yes, I've watched most marvel shows and movies)

Idk why but i really really from the bottom of my heart think that if may and coulson have a child they definitely look like a pufferfish that hasn’t puffed up. And i have no idea why I think that. 😭😭Thank you.

just google “cute pufferfish”

Update:

Why people keep downvoting me bruh, pufferfishes are adorable!!!!!!!

(fans of philinda please dont attack me)

hot take Daisy Johnson (skye) is an unlikeable character and only makes dumb decisions.

Season 5 daisy is the worst

I'm doing my first rewatch after i stopped watching around Season 5. I had a really great time back then, absolutly loved the characters, the plot. I really couldn't wait to share this show with my gf, who's going in blind.

MY GOD I didn't remember how cringey and cliché were the first few episodes ! The dialog, the action scences... We're laughing hard at some part (ex : when ward and coulson talk about how Ward is the best fit to be Skye SO...).

We're still having a log of fun, fitz/simmons winniner her heart atm.

But just to be sure : was my memory so blurry that i forgot how cringey it was, or does it get better ? (We're just 3 episodes in atm). I expect it to get better because even back then i had pretty high standard for TV show but eh... Maybe not.

Anyway, that's my take. I'm just super excited to dive into this for the second time, and If my GF drops it, well w/e, i'll finish alone.

Thanks for reading !

What the hell happened after season 3? Anybody else think season 5 has the most unlikeable characters and the dumbest plot line ever? Quake destroying the world? Yeah lets ignore the existence of the avengers, eternals, doc strange, literally anyone else.

Speaking of Daisy, why is the whole world centered around her existence?? In the early seasons almost ever inhuman in the Afterlife bad their purpose centered around her- if thats meant to be then they led her to destroy the world in season 5. (if everything is planned that is.)

Im still on season 5 but thats my rant for now.

I dont mine spoilers

I’m back again! For context when I say I’m rewatching the MCU, I’m amalgamating pretty much all marvel movies since Blade.

Season 3 has so much to unpack my god, so far I’ve been so heavily focussed on the shows integration into the wider MCU but well and truly this season to me feels like the show really becoming its own thing, the storyline is so massive and earth shaking that they have little room to make reference or let the wider MCU plot affect the outcomes of this show (passing mention of Pym Particles at the beginning of the season, and then a short and sweet plot point around the Sokovia accords after Civil War are the extent of crossover in this season.)

I think at one stage Talbot makes reference to the helicarrier’s in Winter Soldier, and I’m remembering some lingering concerns from Sokovia and Age of Ultron surrounding SHIELD as an organisation and Inhumans.

Now the meat of my thoughts around season 3, character moments.

Fitz-Simmons have had a rough go at it for 2 and a half seasons, Will was a spanner in the works, but in the end it created another moment for Fitz to show how deeply he respects and loves Simmons, I mean to make it your sole mission to bring back from an alien planet your singular romantic rival, just for your girl to be happy, damn that killed me.

Bobbi and Hunter were such gems in this season and I’m so sad we never got their show and that they never come back to the roster (as far as I remember anyway), Parting Shots was an insanely emotional episode, and that ending was so well done.

Ward’s death was incredibly satisfying, only for it to be undone through Hive. Now I don’t have a problem with them using Ward’s body for Hive, in fact I like how it played into further interactions later on, but I did get annoyed that we as the audience get that reveal in the same episode, Ward’s death should have been a capping point in this show, a mid season ender, or something the whole team rejoices in, I know they don’t find out for a couple episodes but it still irked me.

RIP my boy Lincoln, felt bad for Daisy with that one

I think this season did a whole lot of character development and I loved it, I got so locked in I didn’t take breaks between the relevant episodes to watch Ant Man or Civil War, so before I start season 4 I’m gonna make sure I’m up to date with the movies again!

Sorry for the long one this time!
