Imagine the backlash in the real world. I think real world Mac would have wanted to go back and wouldn't exactly be happy with Daisy.
Agents of Shield - Season 4
- Thread starter MarsWeeps
- Start date
I've kinda been loving how Star Trek-y things have been. For all intents and purposes, the framework IS an alternate universe. The Zephyr is basically a starship, and it even has its own cloaking device. And I love that they actually call it a cloak. Don't know if thats a comic word for it, but my headcanon says the creator of it in-universe was a fan of Star Trek.
"Cloaking device" or "cloak" as a term for an invisibility field or camouflage mechanism does appear to have originated with Star Trek, but it's long since become a generic term. It was used in The Empire Strikes Back (by Captain Needa when the Millennium Falcon seemed to disappear), and it's occasionally been used in Doctor Who as an alternate term for the TARDIS's chameleon circuit since the 1996 TV movie. And it's been used in various prose, comics, and other works as well.

I'd be pretty surprised if we don't see both Mack and Ward over the next 2 episodes. Mack will almost certainly come home. They kind of lingered on his face there at the end after he described the others as having returned to Kansas, which tells you right there that he knows he belongs back in the real world with them. He knows Oz isn't his home.
As for Ward, they actually showed the aftermath of the television takeover takeover multiple times, both on tv and at the Triskelion, and Ward was noticably absent from any of those shots. That's a sure sign that he's up to something, and that something could very well involve Project Looking Glass.

But it is different and it is fake. He only thinks that way because his real true memories have been blocked and once he came out am sure he would of been fine. If left there, he is likely going to die and Daisy knows this so knock his ass into the portal.
"Fine?" I think you're forgetting that, in the real world, Hope died when she was four days old. That tragedy and pain are very, very real to Mack, a grief he's been living with for the past 11 years. And now he's had the chance to experience how happy he would've been if she'd lived, and he will remember all of it when and if he gets out of the Framework. There's no way he'd be "fine" after that. It will feel as if he'd really gotten his daughter back and then lost her again. The intellectual understanding that she wasn't real won't erase the grief at having to experience that loss for the second time.
What happened at the end with Aida and Fitz just vanishing? I thought that was the Aida that was a real biological body created by the machine so how could she and Fitz just vanish like that?
Mayhaps all that Inhuman experimentation within the framework was to facilitate the ability to 3d print an Inhuman body in the real world.
If they can build bodies for Framework people, Hope would be the most obvious choice for getting Mack to come out.
Didn't he say that he couldn't live in a world without Hope? If his daughter's name was Love, Paul would have gotten a royalty.

I think I get it now. Aida has an inhuman body with teleportation powers.
Yeah, something Inhuman something, something was my first thought.
I don't think so. Remember, it was explained a couple of weeks ago that the "Looking Glass" tech that created her body is an elaboration on the Darkhold-derived science that allowed Ghost Rider's uncle Eli to create carbon out of nothingness. Aida read the Darkhold and has its knowledge, and now she's in a human body that was created by what's essentially magic. So I figure she's basically a sorceress now, and that was a teleportation spell.
I agree that what we saw was teleportation. I guess the question is how is she teleporting, inhuman powers or darkhold magic? Different source but same end result. Your explanation makes sense but I don't think we know for sure yet.
I just think it makes more sense by Occam's Razor -- don't introduce more variables than you need to. We know Aida learned the Darkhold's secrets. Everything she's done for the past 2/3 of a season has been based on Darkhold knowledge -- enhancing her own brain, creating the LMD copies of the team, creating Hydra-Earth in the Framework, creating Looking Glass and her human body. All of that came from the Darkhold knowledge she already has, so it would be kind of a random swerve if this new ability didn't also fit into that recurring theme. Especially since the Darkhold has been the driving thread throughout the whole season, and thus it stands to reason that it will be key to the imminent season finale. Throwing in a new element like Inhuman powers this close to the end just seems like a distraction.
My assumption was that with all the research being done on Inhumans in the Framework, that AIDA created a body for herself with multiple Inhuman powers. We saw Gordon from the Inhumans display an identical power in season 2.

Identical in terms of the same special effect used to represent it? I dunno, wasn't there kind of an optical distortion effect of the area around Gordon when he teleported?
Anyway, I'm looking at the bigger picture. As I said, the Darkhold has been the unifying theme of the whole season and the basis of everything Aida has done since she first read it. Why would that stop now, when we're so close to the end of the season?
Yup. If not an identical VFX, then very similar, IIRC.
