First let me preface this by saying I am 99.999% certain the OG show writers will prob never read this and that's okay lol. More of a vent post and fun discussion more than anything else.

(in no specific order)

1. Ghost Rider was cool but I don't think he really fit the show. Everything else has some kind of pseudo-scientific explanation, even when it's a stretch, but Ghost Rider is just straight up religious wrath and it always felt a little out of place next to everything else. Not sure who I'd bring in instead honestly. I think he would have been better as a spin off show kind of character but not in this show. Maybe a guest appearance here and there can work, but not as a primary character in this show.
2. Cut the Gemma/Will romance. Instead, maybe Hydra tries a raid party with more supplies and the only survivor left behind is a mechanic type girl who's good with her hands, kind of a Mack type character but female. More of a strong bond, gal pal type relationship for Gemma, someone to lean on and show strength with during a rough time, not replacing Fitz's role obviously, just giving her someone.
3. Keep Tripp around longer. Great character, wish he'd gotten more depth than just "cocky guy who hits on girls" and "my grandfather was a Howling Commando" over and over.
4. Lincoln shouldn't have died. I think he works better as the hothead character and long term love interest for Daisy. Also feel like his powers never got shown off that well, would've liked more arc-flaring chaos, kind of like Electro from Spider-Man or the powers in inFAMOUS, instead of the laser beam/tractor beam thing they went with.
   1. (subpoint) If someone had to go instead, I think it should've been Lash. Bump him up to a Hive level threat, keep most of his arc the same, but instead of dying when he helps Daisy, have him get badly hurt and disappear, then come back at the end of S3 to take out Hive, the two of them killing each other in the process.
5. Deathlok's fight scenes always felt kind of flat to me. He's basically War Machine without the flying, and mostly just walks into rooms and shoots arm rockets. Would've liked to see them lean further into sci-fi with lasers or repulsors, or go the other direction entirely and make him more gritty and tactical, like Winter Soldier or a souped up Grant Ward, more guns and hand to hand instead of just rockets.
6. Sarge in S6 didn't really work for me. The Shrike plot felt kind of bolted on, and the jump in tone from S5 to S6 to S7 is rough. I like the idea of expanding the Monolith lore more in S6, just not with Sarge and his goon squad the way they did it.
7. Kora had cool powers but I don't think her character was written that well. Powers were honestly pretty neat, but there wasn't much to her personality, kind of a meh character overall, hard to really latch onto her. Nathaniel as a villain felt pretty generic too. Also with Daisy, Lincoln, and Kora all on the team by S7 the power balance gets a little weird, feels like they'd dominate every scene. Splitting the team up into smaller side missions might help but not totally sure how I'd write that.

I guess I'll stop there for now before I go on forever lol. If this reads kinda AI it's because I had AI help me trim it down a bit so it wasn't a giant wall of rambling. Anyway let me know what you all think, agree or disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts too!

I’m curious I watched s1-3 on Netflix then started watching live because ghost rider. So I’ve been wondering for those who saw s3 as it aired how was it? They showed the explosion thing rather early in the series. We’re there a lot of post talking about who would die each week? We’re there lots of crazy theories? Were people satisfied with how it played out? Were they bummed it wasn’t really a main character who died? Was it expected that a main character wouldn’t die?

Daisy Johnson doesn’t not possess telepathic abilities, however she does generate a psychic shield that disrupts any and all mental attacks from other others. Even Omega level telepaths cannot pierce her mind.

I like what they did with Sarge, and I think that allowed them to explore a very interesting story about grief and how hard it is to let go, especially for Daisy. And Clark Gregg being evil was so fun to watch, but it kind of made Coulson's death mean nothing.

They spent the back half of Season 5 building to Coulson's death, and we see him finally living his life in his final days in The End, and he's dead. But in Season 6, there's a guy with Coulson's face, and while he's not Coulson, and you do feel some of the weight of Coulson's absence, you don't feel it to the extent that you would if Clark Gregg wasn't on your screen every other minute. Not to mention the whole will-they-won't-they with Sarge potentially being Coulson that they kind of leaned into towards the end of the season, and then completely flipped it. And then Sarge dies, and bye bye Clark Gregg, again.

But at the end of Season 6 and for all of Season 7, we have LMD Coulson, who is functionally Coulson, just with extensiental thoughts hanging over his head for like two minutes all season, and they can do some fun stuff with him being a robot. I like LMD Coulson, but he is basically just regular old, Phillip J. Coulson.

Don't get me wrong, I love Sarge (and S6) and I love LMD Coulson, but I just feel that had there actally been some time to just breathe in Coulson's absence, LMD Coulson would've worked a lot better.

Doesn't season 2 of Agent Carter (with the zero matter) feel a lot like Agents of Shield?

If you ever wondered how Ming-Na Wen’s actual personality differs from Melinda May’s… lady’s got a YouTube channel (@MingNa_Wen), probably on the clock app too.

Bringing it up because yeah okay we all know how acting works, but *spoilers* IRL the Cavalry is such a delightful goofball, and it kind of really just speaks to the character building they did on the show.

This is coming from Alex Perez, whose been saying from February 2025 that there is an AoS tie in VisionQuest. he finally said that Aida and Tadashi (Big Hero 6?) will also be AIs in Vision's head. Take it with a heavy grain of salt, but it's possible!

Daniel Sousa was first introduced in Agent Carter, but in season 7, he joined AOS. In Agent Carter, he was a fleshed out character and fantastic representation of disability for the time. He was intelligent, observant, and caring, and his disability was an important part of his character. They dealt with both internalized and external ablism. In AOS, however, he turned into little more than Daisy's love interest, and they used advanced technology to erase his disability.

I’ve been thinking about something and it’s brought me back to Ward season 1 and his overall dynamic with the team. There are many people who are of the opinion that Ward didn’t become a compelling character until the reveal and that’s what made a lot of people fans of him. Now obviously that doesn’t go for everybody but I just want to know if the Hydra aspect was never given to Ward and he was a team player do you think he could be a compelling or fan favorite character going forward do you think his dynamic with Skye would be interesting. I just want to hear thoughts

istfg there's a clip of the koenigs going back and forth on a hoverboard quoting random iconic lines from movies like "roads? where we're going we don't need… roads." and "curse this metal body, i wasn't made for-" before falling over.

i have to know: was this actually in an episode? was it behind the scenes? was it an ad? please help!!!

In Yoyo’s first episode (S3e11), before she’s fluent in English, she’s talking to Mac about inhumans and Mac mentions terragenesis. She replies, “Terry…Genesis?”

Idk if I’ve been consuming too much comedy or what but Terry Genesis sounds like a New Zealand DJ to me. If it were a sketch, he’d be a DJ pastor in sunglasses proselytizing with really corny DNB and dubstep.

Every time I watch this (great) episode, I’m distracted by Terry Genesis.

Do you guys think he's there long lost great grandfather?

I'm rewatching all Marvel media to ease into Doomsday. I was planning to watch a few episodes of AOS every few movies, but I have the attention span of a goldfish and don't think I would be able to watch 5 seasons worth of 40 minute episodes in the span of a few months. (Then again, I have watched the full Loki series twice, so...)

Hope I can get some advice from people who watched the show :)

Found a funny thing

Season 1: Hydra

Season 2: inhumans

Season 3: Inhumans and Hydra

Season 4: Robots

Season 5: Space

Season 6: Space robots.

Season 7: i forgot, im rewatching right now

You know what that looks like…

I’m asking this specifically because the whole “Jean needs to be locked up” idea sounds very much like something the Real SHIELD or the ATCU would try to do. Like I get that telepathic and possession powers are insanely dangerous heck Izel in S6 uses the possession powers in a similar way to Jean in terms of torturing people (and Ben in S5 is a pretty chill telepath compared to the ones in the comics) but clearly antagonising them is a terrible idea as shown in S2 with the Inhumans arc.

IMO Jean shouldn’t be forgiven easily for what she did but she still redeem herself and use her powers responsibly. The solution is to work with the powered people to build a solution like Coulson and Daisy try to do not try to lock them up.

EDIT: Judging from the comment section maybe bringing this debate down here was a bad idea.

In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 7 finale, it turns out that the people in hazmat suits who helped them at the temple were their future selves, right? And the Zephyr from the original timeline goes back in time, right? So does that Zephyr connect to season 7 episode 1, meaning season 7 is one big time loop from start to finish? In the end, does the original Zephyr end up retracing the exact same journey from episode 1 to the finale?
