And now we discover how AOS will be getting around the no-mutant legal gag that has been put on the MCU… and I kinda like it.
Step One, find a new name. Chan is a pyrokinetic and they couldn’t use Pyro, Match, Human Torch, or any of the already taken names. So they call him Scorch… which works, all thing considered.
Step Two, don’t explain why he’s a pyro, at least not completely. They make an off comment that could explain why he’s a pyro (he lived next to a nuclear plant that went kablooey) but they don’t really make it concrete. In fact, later on, one of them states they really aren’t sure how he’s a pryo.
Step Three, just run with it.
I have a feeling we’re going to see a lot more of these base-set powered ‘gifted’ humans. PK, TK, TP, etc, these are all powers that can’t be copyrighted so they will use them, hopefully, in the same manner above. This means that we can explore some of the plot lines seen in the comics (just with out known mutant characters) and if the fates love us then if we get a merge of Marvel and Fox (or even more unlikely, Marvel gets the license back) then they can slot in mutants as if they were always there.
Yes, this is me wishful thinking… what?
As for the story itself, I’m really getting tired of Skye. Finally got my ‘twist’ and it’s just another big trope. I still want to know more about the rest of the team, especially this interesting relationship between Coulson and May. And just Coulson in general… something is wrong with him but what?!?! And they get rid of one evil doctor and bring in another shadowy bad guy? They are really keeping us in the dark on this, I hope they don’t try to go too LOST on us.
I think the best part though is I do like the little moments, there are a lot of them and they are pretty fun. When Coulson and May hear that Scorch has a moniker now… the look on their faces are priceless. There is a fun factor here that really makes the show an enjoyable watch.
My husband asked me if I would give the series a new chance and with you review the answer is nop.
Also husband think Coulson is a clon, for me make sense.
Here SHIELD is show it Wedbesday’s so I have a chance to read/see all about the ep on Tumblr muahaha
Maybe I watch, maybe not…
Aww! Give it a chance! I mean, Skye is annoying, but the Coulson stuff is pretty awesome. I was blown away two episodes ago with some of the stuff they did with gravity, it was pretty cool.
There is a load of potential here and they are getting there, perhaps a little slower than we’d prefer, but they are. I have faith. 🙂
Welll I saw the ep and I regreat it, really they think people going to buy that place is China?!
And that guy Scorch (damn I can’t remember how they translate “Scorch” here but I laugh so hard everytime I read it, something as “Abrasador” or alike) saluting the “Girl in the flower dress” occidental style?! Yeah, aha.
And Skye >____< is insufferable!! I can't stand her, occasionally I take pity on characters like her but this time Noooooo way.
The other team members are fillers right? If they say 10 words in the all 40 minutes is too much.
The only reason for me to watch the series is for May. She's so badass *—-*
Really you wanna I continue watching the series? Maybe I could watch it for you, and when I'll comment your review you'll break in laughs because my comments about it.
I was watching Supernatural once and they went to a town I grew up in and I was the same way “That is totally not ____.” But they try… XD
I’m not liking Skye either, I’m hoping that in the back end of the season they move away from her and look at the other characters more so they aren’t just ‘filler’.
You comments are awesome! I love reading them, they do make me laugh. 🙂
