Agents of SHIELD is lastly over, too what a journeying it was. This present was thence upwardly too downwards for thence long that it's difficult to draw an persuasion of the overall series, but inwards the cease I would tell that I receive got come upwardly circular to the present inwards spite of its flaws. Agents of SHIELD isn’t perfect, but ultimately I’m happy that we’re getting a 2nd season. Does that brand Agents of SHIELD a success? Well, sort of. There are going to live some major spoilers for the firstly flavour inwards this review thence if you’re planning to scout it, thence you lot receive got been warned. Now lets larn into it.

1. THE CHARACTERS

The characters inwards Agents of SHIELD started off equally the most generic archetypes you lot could mayhap recollect up. You had the immature hotshot who doesn’t desire to bring together the team, the cute “will-they, won’t-they” pair who exactly can’t believe their luck, the unpredictable wild bill of fare amongst issues, too the serious mortal of Chinese descent.

These characters are non what anyone would telephone telephone interesting, but I recollect it was Skye who got the most loathe too that’s because it felt similar she was beingness forced on us - or that's my persuasion at least. To me it seemed similar Joss Whedon too Kevin Feige were screaming inwards my face, “Look at her, facial expression at how likeable she is. You similar her. You can’t believe how cute she is, you lot exactly fucking dear her, don’t you?” NO! I fucking don’t! Get her away from me.

However, afterward 22 hours of exposure to these characters I truly create experience to a greater extent than attached to them, to the betoken where I’d tell there’s a squeamish 70:30 separate betwixt characters I like, too characters I’m soundless non thrilled about. Melinda May, Fitz, Simmons, too Coulson are characters I don’t receive got a occupation with. May is a relatively skillful TV-level substitute for Black Widow too Fitz-Simmons – piece I was originally resistant to their adorableness – won me over inwards in the cease too straight off I receive got to acknowledge they’re quite a fun couple. As for Coulson, I truly wouldn’t tell he’s the best grapheme on the show, but ultimately it’s difficult non to similar him afterward his much-loved business office inwards the MCU movies.

Fitz too Simmons began equally an annoyance, but grew on me past times the end...

On the flipside, Skye I’m soundless non totally sold on. She has improved since the pilot, but all those picayune ticker to ticker chats she had at the firstly receive got truly tainted her for me. Those chats were fifty-fifty lamer than some of the quote-unquote emotional moments from early on Smallville episodes. They were that bad.

Additionally, Ward is soundless real bland fifty-fifty afterward turning evil too killing Victoria Hand. My primary reaction to that tin live summed upwardly by, "Meh, he’s soundless pretty boring."

Speaking of Victoria Hand though, why would you lot kill her off? In the comics, Hand was such a cool character, too I was looking frontward to watching her flourish. And thence Ward shot her 2 times inwards the breast too I was similar oh. Great. The door is opened upwardly to convey her dorsum Coulson-style, but they can’t exactly create that for everyone who dies, specially equally it wasn’t truly fully explained how they brought Coulson dorsum to life. All that was said was Fury got a robot to fuck well-nigh amongst his encephalon too some alien guy - it wasn’t a hugely thorough explanation. Also, bringing dorsum characters left correct too middle would only cease upwardly making expiry equally meaningless inwards the Marvel movies equally it is inwards the Marvel comics too nobody wants that.

2. THE STORY

Let’s verbalize well-nigh the overarching story of Agents of SHIELD: Season 1. The clairvoyant/Hydra. This is a story that I experience was pulled off relatively well, but soundless it wasn’t great. The fact that nosotros weren’t introduced to the mortal who turns out to live the clairvoyant until xiv episodes inwards I experience is a combat weird. Plus it didn’t truly come upwardly to a huge daze to me when it turned out Garrett was the Clairvoyant, mainly because we’re non truly given many opportunities to larn on board amongst the grapheme too discovery him likeable. There was something well-nigh him from the firstly episode he appeared inwards that seemed off too I never idea of him equally a trustworthy character.

Why is SHIELD thence much cooler inwards the movies?

However, that beingness said I did similar how heavily the serial ended upwardly tying into Captain America: The Winter Soldier, because it truly had to given the events of that movie. I was besides happy to run across they didn't dorsum downwards at the cease of Ward's grapheme arc. I had a terrible feeling that at the cease of the serial Ward was going to plough skillful 1 time to a greater extent than too it was going to live no difficult feelings all round. Thankfully that didn’t happen. Like I’ve already said, Ward is boring. I’m glad he’s gone.

Ultimately, Agents of SHIELD’s story was passable, a corporation C Grade, yet straight off that the foundation has been position – too the characters aren’t equally bad equally they were when the present began – I’m hoping for something a picayune to a greater extent than fulfilling come upwardly Season 2.

SEASON 2

So it was announced a picayune piece agone that nosotros volition live getting a 2nd serial of Agents of SHIELD, maybe exactly equally a agency for Marvel to salve confront but fifty-fifty so! The enquiry is: What tin nosotros await from the 2nd season?

WELL HERE’S SOME PREDICTIONS:

1.     Fitz volition receive got some sort of encephalon impairment that prevents him too Simmons from hooking up. Hollywood loves to drag out "will they won’t they" scenarios. Everyone knows this. Just facial expression at Friends: How long did it receive got for Ross too Rachel to lastly larn dorsum together? Too long. But the pair volition in all likelihood lastly osculate inwards the flavour 2 finale.

2.     Skye is going to receive got some sort of low-grade super power. It’s been hinted at throughout this serial that at that spot is something special well-nigh her, thence there’s got to live some sort of pay off at that spot I would imagine. When it comes to Skye’s ominous looking parent, I would tell that it in all likelihood won’t live a grapheme from the comics, but if it is it volition live a truly low-profile 1 that no 1 gives 2 shits about.

3.     Ward volition come upwardly dorsum at some point, either equally a villain or piece trying to redeem himself.

4.     May too Coulson are going to claw upwardly because they’re the alone 2 people on the squad over the historic menstruation of 30.
