Agents of SHIELD - Season 2 Discussion Threads. (Spoilers Likely)

[Reverend]

I also wonder how far-reaching does the organized Inhuman movement go. And what are their intentions? I can hardly imagine what would happen if more Kree arrived on Earth and met the them.

Well if they really are going the "Inhumans = mutants" route and Skye's father and his band of "gifted" are playing the Magneto/Brotherhood roles that would make Skye's late mum the equivalent of Xavier.

We'll see if that pans out either after we get more of "not-Nightcrawler" and Porcu-raina.

Actually, wait, would that then make Rainia the Rogue analogue?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Unterrigenated Inhumans.

Are there millions, thousands, or hundreds of them across the planet?

How easy is Terrigen to come by?

Sourcing pounds per year makes it more valuable than sourcing tons per hour.

Are the Kree going to show up with a few thousand diviners, or are they going to massdrive the planet from orbit converting the convertable and removing all other humans from play en totem?

 

[bbjeg]

They'd probably dump terrigen mist across the planet. Those who live would be enslaved. Though, they nixed that plan.

 

[JD]

They seemed to be assuming that Hydra has the rest of the Diviners, but I was wondering if it's actually the other Inhumans who have them.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Because we have seen that they have at least one when they turned Not NightCrawler into Not Night Crawler 20 years earlier.

 

[bbjeg]

We have to give it to them, every power that hasn't already been used sucks.

"Hotdogspawner saves the day again by simultaneously burying a burglar and feeding needy kids."

 

[Guy Gardener]

There was a line from Misfits... "Don't talk to me about harmless superpowers, I met a guy who could control milk, and he was a psychopath."

 

[Hartzilla2007]

Well the Inhumans do have at least one and they have been making more Inhumans for at least a few generations.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Pitch-bending McClintock's voice was 10 levels of wrong.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Was that because of the Nitrogen, because I don't recall Ronan talking like that?

If I had to guess, I'd say it'd be something to do with Attilan. Maybe it gets destroyed in the upper atmosphere and enough mist gets spread across the planet to trigger millions.

To put it in perspective as to how many potential Inhumans there could be; it's estimated that around 16 million people can trace their genetic heritage back to Genghis Khan. That's one individual that lived only 800 odd years ago. The Inhumans were presumably a sizeable group that lived several thousand, if not millions of years ago.

Even if the Inhumans largely kept to themselves, if just a handful bred back into the general population over the millennia, that's technically more than enough time for the "Inhuman gene" to spread to every human on the planet today. Indeed, our most recent common ancestor is calculated to have lived sometime between 100-200,000 years ago.

Well, the casket was empty.

This certainly puts a whole new spin to that scene at the end of CATWS with Von Strucker talking about the victims and the Wonder, er, Miracle Twins.

I guess Scarlet and Silver's powers are from terrigenesis?

I wonder what Loki's glow stick had to do with it, if anything?

Which is what Blackbolt did to his own people when he turned Attilan into a terrigen bomb at the end of Infinity during his fight against Thanos and soaked the planet in that stuff.

You're up to date on all the new flark?

Didn't they do the same with the Kree voices in Guardians of the Galaxy?

 

[Fist McStrongpunch]

mind control. it's why they're working for HYDRA/Ultron.

 

[Gaith]

Did they mention restoring the Portuguese nurse's memory at the end there? I forget. She seemed like a nice lady.

Funny how the beaches of Portugal look a lot like those of Southern California!

My guess has been that Bobbi and Mac are working for a part of the military/government, possibly even Talbot, but him specifically would probably be too pat/reductive; the Olmos character is indeed a better guess.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Did they mention restoring the Portuguese nurse's memory at the end there? I forget. She seemed like a nice lady.

No, they didn't, and that bothered me too. I know it's insignificant in the grand scheme of the show, but it would have been nice if they had included a bit of dialogue about how they have to make a stop to restore that nurse's memory or how the space truncheon has a reset button that restores everyone's memories. Just to show that amidst saving the world they haven't forgotten that they're also there to save the little guy.

My hope is that given that Sif had a pleasant reaction to the mention of Thor's name even though she didn't remember any details, that maybe that means the effects of the truncheon are only temporary. Or that the effects wear off once the truncheon and its owner leave the planet.

^Not even remotely. I think the last Marvel comic I read was that One More Day nonsense several years back. Even then I wasn't exactly well read.

If that were the case then it would be a very ineffective way to erase all trace of the Inhumans, no?

Personally, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't go back and restore the nurse's memory. It's not like they were in any rush once the Kree was neuralized. I suppose it's possible there was a line that they just cut for time? No big deal.

 

[Gaith]

Yeah, one hopes the amnesia effect only lasts a few days, with no permanent damage; otherwise it's a What Happened to the Mouse?

 

[Christopher]

But the amnesia has to be permanent. The crisis was resolved when Kree-Pete got zapped by his own truncheon and forgot all about Skye. That forgetting has to be permanent or he'll just come back for her again.
