Everyone catch the moment in the episode that ties in with all of the Phase 2 films?
|
2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

No, seriously, dude, it was a fucking hand at the wrist.
Which also bothers me in the scene where he gets the new bionic one, since it's clear they cut more off.
Just let me be a pedant for once.

No, no - you're absolutely right to be pedantic about Luke's hand but the need to do so is largely predicated on the assumption that jgsugden is right. He's not. |

Putting that aside...
Zap2it had a note regarding something I was curious about: All regular cast members from this season will return next season per Marvel on May 12. (Coulson, Ward, Skysy, Maye, FitzSimmons, Bobbi and Hunter).
My question is how do they add a 'Super Team' to the series while keeping that many cast members? I can see a lot of routes... How many regulars can they afford?

Ward wasn't really a regular this season, and it's possible other characters might go from regulars to occasional guest stars as well. They might also spend most of the season trying to recruit other people with powers, more of the current cast might get powers (who knows what will happen with Simmons for instance) or they could put Mockingbird or Deathlok on the Super Team to fill out the numbers. |

In the comics doesn't Mockingbird have some derivative of the super soldier serum?

From Wikipedia....
To cope with a mortal injury she sustained in a mission, Mockingbird was injected with an experimental serum combining the Super Soldier Serum that gave Captain America his strength and the Infinity Formula that has slowed Nick Fury's aging. The obvious consequence of this was that her injuries were healed, but Fury admitted his uncertainty about the formula's long-term consequences on her biology. Thus far, she has exhibited greatly enhanced physical strength and agility.

Technically, Mockingbird was a mutant in the comics, who had the power of "luck." Shit would just work out for her or something, though I don't think that's even talked about anymore since she returned from the dead/Skrull captivity.

I'd never heard this... are you sure? I thought she was normal with a shot of weak Supersoldier cocktail ... |

I swear I read that somewhere, in the Hawkeye mini-series where they met maybe? I'll have to see if I can find it. My memory may be totally wrong, but I could have sworn that was the case.

That's definitely Domino. Straight from marvel.com:
In comparison to Mockingbirds listed powers: "None"

Seems like it was someone else's powers before Domino and Cable got introduced, though not in anyway as prominently advertised as Domino. Since no one seems to remember it but me and I can't find my Hawkeye mini-series without some back-breaking pilfering through my back issues, I'll concede that I'm likely wrong about this. Damn you, Internet.

Longshot was my shit. That mini got me to start reading comics back in the mid 80s.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Also Lincoln, the Inhuman mini-Magneto, got upgraded to a series regular for next season. I assume he's going to be one of the new Secret Avenger/New Warriors.

The Black Cat had "luck powers" for a while. That's probably who you're thinking of, Haemish.

I've just binge-watched season two on Netflix and thought it was great.
The way that the show became a super-powered soap opera, where the characters' relationship issues are inseparable from the saving-the-world storyline, seemed very Whedon-like to me (and you can see Claremont's influence on Whedon too).
Also, attempts to give the villains their own story arc and relationships is a typical Whedon thing.
I liked the way the season messed with the team from season one, bringing in new members, killing one off and splitting up the Fitz and Simmons team.

For those that have seen Ant-man... A Hydra representative was sent to do something in Ant-man... and got away with something to bring back to his leader. At the end of Season 2, how many Hydra leaders are known to exist?

Full points. I'd say that was inadvertent, but the movie folks generally talk and track together very well and they say that they're finishing off Hydra in AoU...
(btw - not taking credit for the observation ... someone else pointed it out to me and it is discussed on a few sites).

I don't think anything we've seen in AoU, Agents of SHIELD or Ant-Man would lead me to believe there aren't still Hydra splinters all over the place, even ones we've not seen.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!
