Agents of SHIELD. Season 1 Discussion Thread

Ming-Na talked about how the role was supposed to be a black woman, but they decided to cast her instead. The female agent was supposed to be named "Rice," but she pointed out that they would have to change that if they cast her---for obvious reasons.
Was her first name Condoleezza? :rommie:

Elizabeth Henstridge tried to very tactfully answer a teen girl's question about whether Simmons loved Fitz the way Fitz loved Simmons,
She might not even know at this point.

Oh, it certainly sounded like she did know and she was trying to be kind about it. Hence J. August Richards yelling "Friend Zone!" with such glee.
 
He doesn't need a job, he just works for fun and switches jobs whenever he gets bored ever since he won his lawsuit from the tainted drink he had (in The Incredible Hulk). Before that, he spent years as a Hugh Hefner/Larry King impersonator (as seen in Iron Man 1 & 2). He also might have been a hot dog vendor (X-Men), a security guard (Hulk) and a school librarian (Amazing Spider-Man), but those three may actually be the alternate reality version of the guy, from Earth-1610. :rommie: There are also rumors that the character went into witness protection and used the identity of "Willie Lumpkin" for awhile and worked for the United States Postal service, but that has never been confirmed.
 
There's an interesting question. Should the TVA consist of all clones of MarK Gruenwald, or of Stan Lee?

Anyway, we need to consider that the guy showing up in all these movies really is Willie Lumpkin. He's posing as Stan Lee so he can infiltrate Marvel and seize ultimate power. He never was the same after The Fantastic Four Roast, you know.

She could have been basing it on the final. Who knows, we'll have to see.
 
^I just finished reading Marvel 1602 and all I can picture now is the sequence where Strange can't understand Uatu's chronobabble. "Please, the terms you're using, they make no sense. They're just words.
"I promise you, I am a true believer no matter what lies James has told. And how does 'Excelsior' fit into all this?"

I'm guessing that they have not started filming the new season yet. So she doesn't know how it will play out going forward.

I really don't know though, that's just an assumption on my part.
 
I think Stan's proper title is The Man, so whenever somebody says something like "working for The Man" he's their boss. That's how he can be everywhere and run everything. :techman:
 
I was going back over some stuff. I noticed that in "Ragtag" Fitz almost killed Garrett by shorting out his cybernetics with an EMP. That got me wondering. Do Stark's Iron Man suits have any protection against EMPs?

The climax of The Avengers would suggest not, since the suit was knocked out by the nuclear explosion. Except that EMPs are caused by nukes going off in atmosphere, not in outer space, so that shouldn't have happened. Basically, EMPs in fiction work nothing like they do in real life.

That was supposed to be an EMP? I'd assumed he just expended all power getting there. Pretty sure there's a line in there somewhere about saving the last of it for the turn after he grabs the nuke.

Actually, now that I think about it I'm sure it wasn't supposed to be an EMP because the suit blacks out while he's still holding the thing and he's already falling back when it hits.
