Kanedas Bike Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Not sold on the Agent Carter series, but we'll see. This last week's episode was OK, but it felt like filler until the Season Finale. I'm also now firmly in the camp that Ward is "evil" even if they are trying to show how he became that way. I'd put money on him being bad throughout the series but somewhere towards the end he does the whole self-sacrifice thing (redemption). -b.

renegadeleader1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I think the Agent Carter series has a chance to out shine Agent Of Shield to be honest with you. At least being set in the past you don't have to rely on cheesy special effects as much, and you don't have to worry about the story you are telling bumping up against an upcomming film giving you more freedom to tell your own story. For example I think the founding of Shield is a more compelling story than what ever the hell this current group is running around doing while the various avengers are off handling the real threats. EDIT: you also can't go wrong with Haley Atwell in vintage 40s-50 pinup style. Edited May 9, 2014 by renegadeleader1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I agree RL1, plus they won;t be able to cheat with their planes as bad. MY god some of the things they do with that C-17 are beyond insane and impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Can't and won't argue about Hayley Atwell, she is very attractive. Like all things, Agent Carter could be good if handled right or it could be a mess. My only concern would be if there is any revisionist history with regard to the Marvel cinematic universe because of her show. And looking at the suitcase Agent Triplett had from his grandfather, a member of the Howling Commandos, I'd wager that there could be some pretty funky effects (laser cigarette anyone?). I also like the tie in AoS has with the movies, I think Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a great example of how the show can be used to enhance or supplement the larger universe. -b.

Mog Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Getting back to the show, one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet: that was some cold-blooded, gangsta-type sh*t Fitz pulled off almost killing Garrett with that EMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That was a really good season finale, just enough closure and "what will happen next" to keep me interested.

Yep, that or; Lindsey from Angel Not that it's a bad thing but in my estimation there are a lot of vibes from previous Whedon shows, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, etc. I'm really excited to see the show progress and I'm overwhelmingly happy that the show isn't on Fox (regardless of the Disney/ABC ownership angle). -b.

skullmilitia Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Oh man, that ending with Coulson taking out Garret, I yelled and clapped! Now I'm wondering what part of the timeline we are in because Fury was obviously at the point of looking for Agents, which was before or after leaving in Cap 2? One of the better finale's I've seen.

Mog Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) "Hey guys! I found it! Told you it'd be in here!" More like: Garrett: [standard "I'm still alive!! I will have my REVENGE!" bad-guy speech] Zap/Blast/SPLAT!! Coulson: "Hey guys! I found it! Told you it'd be here!" I also liked: "Look at me. I'm dressed like I live under a bridge!" And for some silly reason: "Stupid, stupid, stupid!! And very cruel! And very STUPID!!" If there's one word to describe this season finale, it was FUN. Between the silly banter, Coulson getting his BFG from Avengers 1 back, the way Garrett become vaporware, and the return of Patton Oswalt as Koenig's brother?/clone?/LMD? it was just a fun ep. Silly theory: The next time we see Ward, if he still has that facial scar running down his cheek, he's a bad guy. If it's gone? Good guy again. Long-shot gamble: Between all the talk of evolution that Raina mentions in this episode and the "miracles" that will be showing up in Age of Ultron (around the time Agents of Shield is winding up Season 2), I'm guessing Skye ain't a Kree or Kree hybrid, but rather a MUTANT (or the Marvel-verse's equivalent of mutants/"miracles"/"those born with special powers").

Dangard Ace Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 and that gives away the scene that I took that line from. The lines I picked you wouldn't know what they meant unless you'd seen the show. Plus it's a pain in the ass to type spoiler tags on a tablet. Raina and all her talk about evolution makes me think she's got a meeting with the High Evolutionary in her future.

Knight26 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I still think the most badass thing in the episode was the fight between Ward and May when she uses the nail gun to nail his foot to the floor. That was awesome, and the proper use of hte tool too, so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
