I am with you on Loki's staff. Thanos would never trust someone else with an Infinity Gem once he got his hands on it.hermes200 said:I really don't think the obelisk is one of the Infinity Stones, as something as big would probably be reserved for the movies.
And I don't really subscribe to the theory that Loki's staff was some sort of infinity stone either. In the movies, they made clear that the staff is powered by the Tesseract (by now confirmed as one of those), the same way HYDRA used it to power several dozens of their future-like weaponry during WW 2.
EDIT: By the way, its Elizabeth Henstridge; Natasha is the woman from Species...
We know memories can be altered, what if HYDRA has gained access to something like that?vid87 said:There probably is some understandable reason for her to do so if it is indeed true, but I'm having a hard time believing Simmons just straight-up turns evil, especially since it was Ward that almost killed her.

I didn't get that vibe at all. He looked more frustrated at not making much progress, and bullying the person all the rest is pussyfooting about to see if that would get some more progresss.MovieBob said:New S.H.I.E.L.D.'s engineer/mechanic takes it upon himself to make friends with the troubled scientist
I don't know, he was giving me the J. Jonah Jameson vibe. Thinks the government/police/military are best to solve it, anyone else clearly has some kind of agenda and is a potential turncoat just waiting for an opportunity.Kenjitsuka said:And Talbot.... GOD DAMN he does look like Hitler SO frigging much...
Maybe he is a reincarnation of the Red Skull? Psh!!!
Seriously weak copout to make a character unlikeable by making them look like that...
Yes, that would be a nice fit for character and motivations.jabrwock said:I don't know, he was giving me the J. Jonah Jameson vibe.

They could repurpose Zola's tech - Winter Soldier Simmons does sound plausible.jabrwock said:We know memories can be altered, what if HYDRA has gained access to something like that?vid87 said:There probably is some understandable reason for her to do so if it is indeed true, but I'm having a hard time believing Simmons just straight-up turns evil, especially since it was Ward that almost killed her.

Actually I think that's Fitz's subconscious trying to heal himself, currently Fitz is utterly fucked and dependent on Simmons, but she's not there so he creates an imaginary friend he can trust. But now there is someone else who can help him, so he forces himself to talk and work with him. Simms basically forces him to work with Mac, notice how after he starts working with him she disappears.vid87 said:There probably is some understandable reason for her to do so if it is indeed true, but I'm having a hard time believing Simmons just straight-up turns evil, especially since it was Ward that almost killed her.

Silly girl." As for Evil Simmons in general, am I wrong in feeling that there was something...sinister about Ghost Simmons? Like her sounding attracted to Mac was actually supposed to make Fitz jealous or something? I was really reading that when she convinced him to swipe the printout of Creel's DNA, like she's his ego becoming a "Devil on the Shoulder" preclude to a full nervous breakdown. If anything, HE sounds more likely to become a villain, though this show has certainly shown that people don't usually play by the (trope) rules.
It's because he's kinda based on Hitler. He and J.J.J are both based on Hitler, since both were supposed to be the antagonistic relics of the past that tried to force their way on the protagonist. It's the same reason most "Dad" characters in British comics look like Hitler. It's an easy evil look.Kenjitsuka said:Yes, that would be a nice fit for character and motivations.jabrwock said:I don't know, he was giving me the J. Jonah Jameson vibe.

But I mean purely how he looks.
I hate to post a picture of such a dick, but check out this photo of Adolf:

Massive amount of hair in the middle with almost none on the sides and that friggin' stache.
When he stepped out of the car at the end I had deja vu of some Hitler pictures, is all I'm saying...
It's the first appearance of the actor, but not the character. An episode or two ago you see his hand and it's all gooey with what looks like blood, and someone mentions his daughter, which is implied at the time to be Skye.DoctorM said:Can someone explain Kyle MacLachlan's "gooey-hands problem"? I thought this was his first appearance on SHIELD. What is this a reference to?
Yeah I totally got that vibe too, especially in regards to more physically impressive men. He felt that way last season after Ward jumped out of the plane to save Simmons, but then he and Ward became buddies in the field. Getting double crossed by Ward was especially hard on Fitz in that regard.JMac85 said:I don't really think this is the case. I think it's more about how he's projecting his often demonstrated jealousy and insecurity in regards to other guys getting too close to Simmons.
