Agents of SHIELD: Season 3 - Discussion (SPOILERS LIKELY)

I think Yo Yo is aptly named, I don't like her.

Then we can start calling Joey, Jo Jo, and Lincoln can be Lo Lo, and Lincoln and Joey together can be Jo Lo,

And since Quake is working for Hive, she can be DoDo.
Then we'd have to start calling Coulson Coco. Next thing you know he'd be coocoo for Cocoa Puffs.
 
Now that you guys are quoting that, I'm really hearing it in Fred Sanford's voice.

Coulson, you big Dummy, you let your base get destroyed.
 
In Spanish wouldn't Yo-Yo be like being named I-I?

BTW, just making a silly comment no need to wiki the usage of the word to rebut ;)
I checked out of curiosity and it apparently is el yo-yo. I wonder if they're at all common in Spanish-speaking countries.
 
I'm wondering/hoping if this season is going to be the last we see of Hydra. They've said Malick is the final head of Hydra, and now he's dead and Hive has taken over. I can only assume the season ends with them killing Hive/Ward. Maybe Season Four will introduce a new major villain... perhaps Zemo's organization from Civil War...? Or Leviathan?
 
My hope is for AIM. Hydra is the biggest rival of SHIELD, though, and I doubt they'll ever die.

The question becomes does an Apple corporation survive or comes back in a couple of years if a Steve Jobs did what Aldrich Killian did in Iron Man 3? The Ten Rings are still out there. Oscorp comes in with Spiderman joining the MCU
 
As we saw in Ant-Man, there are apparently other factions of Hydra still floating around. Though I'd rather SHIELD move on to something else, at least for a while. Ten Rings seems the most likely, though it's possible they're saving them for 'Most Wanted'.

AIM seems unlikely given they way it was introduced into the MCU. It was a legit business that was outed as a sponsor of terrorism, illegal human experimentation and attempted to assassinate POTUS. It's a fair bet all their assets were ceased, their accounts frozen, the surviving senior execs arrested and most of the staff interrogated by Homeland Security. Indeed, I imagine the very name became radioactive in *any* business dealings so I don't see how anyone would try and bring it back.
 
"Cut off one head...." This isn't HYDRA's first rodeo.

But they've been the villains for two years now. They've run their course. I'd rather see some new Big Bads brought in than just more branches of Hydra all the time. We've already gone through "Yay, we've destroyed Hydra -- oopsie, we missed a head!" several times now. It's getting repetitive. Let someone else be evil for a while.

AIM was described as a government think tank. But it can do fine with private investors. It's a secret organization that is scientifically brilliant - it can both attract those who are interested in science at all costs and finance itself through its contributions. It's not comparable to a publically traded company and it can be easily bigger than one man.

The Ten Rings are still out there. Oscorp comes in with Spiderman joining the MCU

Ten Rings are out there but wouldn't make interesting SHIELD villains, imo. Oscorp may theoretically be allowed with Spider-Man joining the MCU, but Marvel/Disney did not reacquire the rights to Spider-Man. Every act of putting something on a TV show would require approval of Tom Rothman, Amy Pascal, and probably Kevin Feige (there's always been a description of the movie guys getting veto power, I assume it's Feige, but it could be Alan Horn).

The evil corporation of choice for MCU television seems to be Roxxon Oil. They've been used in AoS, Agent Carter, and even Daredevil, which featured the Japanese branch of the corporation as a tool of the Yakuza. They were also mentioned in the Iron Man movies and one of the Coulson short films as well, but just as a background entity rather than an antagonist.
 
There was a Roxxon connection as a plot point...a Roxxon executive was assassinated. It was a bit more than just an incidental name-drop.
