Skye is Tess Black.
Callin' it.
Callin' it.
[TV] S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Thread starter evilmike
- Start date
Anyone watch the last episode? That was a bit of a ride.
Who do you think the guy in the tube is? Popular theory people are bringing up is a Kree warrior of some type.
Oh I didn't even think of that. I've heard the show's going to be ramping up pretty hard in order to tie into the Marvel mythos more (along with tie-ins to Winter Soldier), so that's totally possible.
Adding Kree to the Asgardian storyline next week drops a lot of Cosmic potential for future episodes. Plus we don't know what kind of powers Skye has, nor what the formula could do to her or said powers.
I have been seeing some people on the net even claim that the body is...
Captain Mar-Vell, or more specifically the Ultimate version of the character, Mahr Vehl. The big reason people are going with this is because the body was marked "GH". Coulson and crew first thought this meant Guest House, but later Coulson finds it on the tube holding the body. Ultimate Captain Mahr Vehl was named Geheneris HalaSon Mahr Vehl.
Wow, that'd be pretty fucking dark if so.
Be aware, when it comes to the movie universe Marvel likes to mix the originals with the ultimate versions.
It does not mean said character would never appear in his regular universe incarnation. We still could get Mar-Vell. It just allows them to add more gravity to who was used to bring Coulson back to life rather then making it out like a random Kree.
Well, we do have Carol Danvers showing up in Avengers 2, so that could be all the Captain Marvel we need.
I doubt they'll waste a big name like Mar-Vell on a shit TV show.

Where are you having your next parade? I'd like to piss all over it.

There's rumor that Yondo crashes in the 80s to get Peter Quill - it could have been his co-pilot or something?
I'm all about the Kree - though I doubt Skye is going to have any special abilities from getting injected with it. I still hold the belief that Skye's real name is Tess Black.[DOUBLEPOST=1394127801,1394127715][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh, go watch Man of Steel.
I have even less interest in watching that again.

She'll make a man out of us.
Wait, what? They murdered the guys that shot first? And were the ones that set the bomb to detonate?

You know, there is one thing I have been thinking about that involves Skye...
We know she is special because she was designated by the code for a object of unknown origin, and that in the process of protecting her a lot of agents were killed. There has to be something special about her. So is it just me, or is everyone sort of... attached to her? Like unnaturally so?
Seriously, she is a member of a enemy group that somehow got made an agent of shield in the first episode. Her old boyfriend disgraced his own values to get money to "be with her". The one time she showed herself as untrustworthy they still kept her around with just a little braclet so she couldn't use computer, oh no!
This episode, Coulson and crew went to such extremes to try saving her that they disobeyed shield, killed two guys doing their job, and every other moment was the entire team musing about how much they care about her. Coulson is destroyed over the idea of her dying. May kicks the shit out of Quinn for shooting her. They even have that scene with Simmons and the other agent where this exchange happens...
Agent: You two close?
Simmons: We just met months ago, but...
Agent: But it feels like you can't live without her?
Simmons: "nods"
There is friendship, and then there is this, and something does not feel right about it. Is it just me adding something where nothing exists?

I'm just glad the show is starting to pick up some steam. Heck, the first 1/2 season of Arrow was . . . not so good, but it's pretty spiffy now (for a CW show). That having been said, to borrow from a Farker

That's not a weekly show, that's a special once a month where you have to remember back three months to understand the story.

Sorta like the Purple Man or ... STARFOX!
For once someone in the i09 comments had a good point. Coulson consistently says "we have a dying teammate, we're SHIELD, etc etc" which, had the guards even checked up on that shit, they'd know Coulson had been at that location.
Instead they open fire.
It still seemed kind of odd when Fitz had his special "sleep gun" right on him not even a foot away, which they decided to ignore for assault rifles.
Considering this whole arc is called "Uprising," I have a feeling shooting guards is going to be the least of their worries soon enough.
One committed suicide by cop, the other suicide by bomb.
Plus, like I said earlier, they had a totally non-lethal way to disarm them. Unless Ward is a horrible shot with a pistol.
I wasn't trolling. I've been in a bad mood the past week and took it out on this thread. Sorry.
Doesn't change the fact that they wouldn't waste a major player in the Marvel universe on the show instead of waiting for a big movie moment like the Kree/Skrull war or something.
Even beyond that, Mar-Vell hasn't been around in the books in quite awhile, I think (according to Wikipedia he's been dead since like '82, with appearances since then, but still being dead). Carol Danvers took over as Captain Marvel in 2012, and still uses the name, so if anything I think they'll set her up as CM if they decide to go that route.
That's the sort of response I've been hearing to. If we get a Captain Marvel film, it will probably be Carol Danvers taking the name.
Sorry to hear you're having a bad week. We all feel miserable now and again, and I hope it passes soon.
I would wager you're right, they'll wait for something more big budget for a big name character.
