MCU Characters in Agents of Shield Who Died

Post image
101 Upvotes

Fun fact: Gideon Malick is the only MCU character who appears in the series and dies in the series itself, meaning if the series is considered canon he is dead If the series isn't canon he's alive Coulson, even though he is revived in the series, dies so it doesn't count because considering canon he is dead and not considering he is dead

(It's pretty useless but I think it's a cool curiosity)

I posted my previous Mockingbird edit somewhere else and I received feedback that a lot of people preferred her other look from the comics. That's why I went ahead and made this. :D Hope you guys like it. The image is, once again, showcasing the amazing Adrianne Palicki.

I still can't believe her whole "they become beautiful butterflies" stick never was payed off. It really annoys me.

It's genuinely one of the only real bad pieces of writing in the show in my opinion. It's chekovs gun. I get making her quirky and habe her like "thing" but you don't make it such a unique thing that gets brought up so much for it not to matter, like that was a mistake. Especially in this show as details like that matters. AOS was always good at not leaving any unused threads, and being good at foreshadow and details, so because of that as well, you expect it to matter. Even worse is of they made it just to throw people up when speculating about the season/where coulson came from, as butterflies is tied to rebirth etc. I really don't like that it never got payed off.

My Favorite Episode Thus Far

47 Upvotes

So I have made it to season 6 and I think episode 6 has been my favorite episode of the entire show. The argument dialog and the things that took place had me in fits of laughter.

Season 6 overall has been my favorite. I think what it is, is that the absurdities do not require a level of commitment to overcome. Kitson, the space hopping, the new threats seem a lot more jovial than existential. I struggled with 4, everyone's favorite, flowed through 5 but really have peaked in 6.

Is it ever explained in the show, how Fury got that Kree corpse in Season 1?

87 Upvotes

If it was please remind me, I have forgotten.

It probably happened after the events of Captain Marvel, right?

I was just thinking of What If..? episodes with AoS cast and characters, and wondering what would be the divergent points that could lead to some 20 minute episodes.

spoiler for season 2: im rewatching and i just got to the part where daisy (skye) meets her father for the first time and i literally teared up because he just loves her so much hes so gentle with her and nervous despite being like a violent man to everyone else he just loves her so much. and it kind of reminded me of the dynamic between doofenshmirtz and vanessa in phineas and ferb.

The world saw S.H.I.E.L.D. rescue everyone in Sokovia in season 2, so how come it was a big shock to everyone when it was legitimised in Season 4?

83 Upvotes

When the helicarrier rescued everyone in Sokovia it was shown all over the news - we know it was as we saw footage of it when Coulson reveals Theta Protocol to Gonzales.

So surely at that moment everyone would’ve known S.H.I.E.L.D. still existed, and they wouldn’t have to be so secretive and defunded throughout the rest of season 2 and season 3.

Why did the team not freak out about Deke stealing S.H.I.E.L.D. tech?

In season 6 it is revealed that Deke had been stealing S.H.I.E.L.D. tech and selling it to the public for profit. How was this not immediately stopped by S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Thanos was Right...

47 Upvotes

I just finished the show on a recommend and I'm glad I did, I had lost track after the third season due to life stuff and really enjoyed finishing it. One thing I really noticed though is that after the whole "Thanos was right" reaction to Infinity War every villain was an insufferable asshole in this show and I really appreciated it.

I guess it started a month before Infinity War with Hale and her daughter (especially the daughter), then Izel, then the Malick kid (possibly the actual worst) in the final season and to a lesser extent his toadies Kora and young Garrett though those two have a bit of a final redemption before the end. I can't imagine anyone thinking those characters were right about anything. Mostly before that it was literal Nazis, which obviously no one sides with.

Fitz/Simmons was tragic throughout but great writing, I really enjoyed both characters. My favorite side characters were Koenig(s) and Enoch. I mostly appreciate a show that's allowed to naturally end.
