Agents of SHIELD. Season 1 Discussion Thread

^I never even thought of that. Trade out Strucker's super-powered twin children for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch? Whedon could then tell Wanda and Pietro's story with only minimal, superficial changes to their origin.

 

I didn't fall in love with Wanda until West Coast Avengers, how about everyone else?

 

Wow, that actually works. Never thought of that. A compromise had to be made.

 

I've liked Wanda since the original Celestial Madonna Saga of the 70s.

 

Back when Moondragon had hair?

Was she a still lesbian back then?

Mantis and Starlord did seem to be getting on quite well...

But it's lucky that she was also a closet dendrophile, or that Celestial Madonna dealio would never have worked out.

(Wanda was a Robophile. Sorry to be sexist (A dendrophile, a lesbian and a Robophile walk into a bar.. )but this is a terrible group of women to tap as Space Jesus's mum. But maybe that was the point? Immortus fixed it so that the Celestial Messiah would never be born by signing up impossible choices for his mum?)

After all that the Celestial Messiah didn't turn out to be all that shit hot.

Flash in the pan.

Although, Mantis did take him to the DCU to gestate, which was odd.

HMMM?

What if it was a misdirect and if Wanda was always really the Celestial Madonna, then Wiccan or Speed, or both of them are the Celstial Messiahs... But Young Avengers is cancelled again, so that's unlikley to unfold.

 

Moodragon was bald when she joined the Avengers.


No one was a lesbian back then.

 

I blame the first Kree-Skrull War . . . .

 

I've been carrying a torch for Janet van Dyne since the mid-70's.

 

I seem to have imagined or misremembered a story line.

In my memory, Moondragon did something stupid, possibly trying to seduce the Vision, and then as punishment for being a dick, so that she would never forget she'd been a dick or ever again be such a dick, Heather shaved her hair off.

Google assures me that this never happened.

Her friendship with Dorothy may have started in later life since in Avengers 220ish, Moondragon psychically enslaved an entire planet, as well as Thor, who she made have sex with her a lot.

Oh, and Thor in charge of the (bbq) grill in Avengers 24 yesterday was hilarious.

 

As far as I recall, Moon Dragon has always been bald . . . .

 

Stop rubbing it in, how many (sob!) times do I have to (sob!) say that I'm sorry!

(Sob!)

Maybe after Thor, no other man could please her, and she had to move on to women?

Is that becuase he's a god?

Are all gods exceptional in the bedroom?

Vostagg has so many children.

 

Sorry to pile on. For what it's worth, I'm obviously behind the times. I had no idea Moon Dragon had moved onto women. When did this happen?

 

During Peter David's exceptional Captain Marvel series (The relationship started circa 2002), Heather became very involved with Mar-Vell's daughter Phyla Vell who also called herself Captain Marvel even though her brother the titular character of the series wasn't finished with it.

Phyla eventually got hold of the Quantum bands and became the new Quasar.

One or both of them died.

One or both of them have come back from the hereafter as well.

 

Thanks for the update! And I know what you mean about the hereafter's revolving door. And it can be hard to keep track of who is currently dead at any given time . . .

 

As for Volstagg - the comics version - two of his children are adoptees from Midgard/Earth. It happened back during the Walt Simonson era of the series. If memory serves, they're still around.

 

Back about then, I thought Hildy (who looked 10 years old at the most.) was going to become Odin's child bride.

They had some weird moments together in the 80s.

 

Are they still mortal, or did Idunn bake them an apple pie?

 

It was later after Walt stopped drawing, but yes they ate the apples and became proper gods like the rest of their family.

 

Get in line, pal. I'm a decade ahead of you.

 

I didn't think much of Janet until she was Avengers Chairwoman in the 80s.

Power is sexy, doesn't anyone find power sexy?
