This Agents of SHIELD review contains spoilers.
It's been a long road for Marvel'southward Agents of SHIELD . What was one time a show that seemed a bit bumming and extraneous became a gripping, tense drama in the days since Captain America: The Wintertime Soldier . Characters who one time seemed one annotation deepened and a bear witness without villains has become the home to two pretty mean sociopaths in Ward and Garrett (merely stupid Quinn and his stupid haircut all the same stink). The show premiered with smashing hope, fizzled, and finally sparked into something truly special. Allow's take a look at how the season finale played out.
Kickoff off, many of the flavor's plot threads played into the finale, which is much appreciated. Things similar the bond between Deathlok and his son, gravitonium, Centipede, the mystery of the Girl in the Blossom Dress, the once ponderous and dull sexual union of Ward and May, the unrequited love of Fitz for Simmons, and Coulson's acrimony at Nick Fury all play key parts in the finale. For a show that scuffled early and oft, there doesn't feel similar in that location was any wasted move in this i. Except for Quinn…Quinn stinks.
Things kicked off this week with a very Cabin in the Woods like opening, with a new rent joining Cybertek, shown here equally a mundane looking corporate operation with a great "incentive programme." There was a lot of griping throughout the flavour that Agents of SHIELD oft times lacks action. Not this episode! We started off with a major ball between the Cybertek soldiers and the Agents where May gets a hold of the Dark Elf staff introduced in the Thor: Dark World tie in episode and kicks some major ass, which was a overnice callback to yet another old plot device.
Garrett, totally flight loftier on the alien blood Extremis Deathlok cocktail, seems like a hybrid of about of the Marvel Phase two films. He is a HYDRA Agent ( Captain America: The Winter Soldier ), a Deathlok fueled past Extremis ( Atomic number 26 Human 3 ), and besides carries Kree claret ( Guardians of the Galaxy ), along with utilizing some Asgardian weaponry. That's a pretty cool and subtle way to make sure all of Marvel Studio's recent films have an impact on the world of Agents of SHIELD .
I've said information technology a billion times; the show turned a corner when they finally introduced some big bads. The showrunners did a slap-up task in making Ward a mean and atrocious person, and an even better job making fans beg to encounter him become his pompous, dog killing ass kicked. Equally for Ward's doubts about his part as a tool in a terrorist organization; he should have thought nigh that before he kicked Coulson and SHIELD through the Barbershop window (that was a WWE reference, it'due south hilarious, trust me).
Everyone probably breathed a sigh of relief with the revelation that Fitz and Simmons were alive…trapped on the ocean floor, but alive. Even improve, I finally gave a crap if Fitz and Simmons would survive their predicament. Who says all those episodes of "graphic symbol development" went to waste? Also bad Namor is owned by another studio because this would have been a perfect fourth dimension for an undersea rescue…or at least Namorita. Marrina? The Fin fifty-fifty? Jeez, Marvel has a lot of fish people. Manphibian?
Those moments with Fitz and Simmons dealing with their own bloodshed were rather poignant. While Garrett, Deathlok, and Raina are seeking and dealing with superhuman technology and potentiality, Fitz and Simons are discussing how life itself, existing equally energy that is part of a greater universe, is a super power in and of itself…quite beautiful really.
As for the other agents non trapped in a sunken death rectangle, the remaining Agents utilize the missing Fitz and Simmons as inspiration to accept down Garrett and Cybertek. A season highlight may very well be the bit where stupid, stupid Quinn is trying to sell the Deathlok tech to some highly decorated generals, and then, of course, Garrett turns on the generals and rips out a slice of one of their ribs and stabs one of them with it. OK…that was pretty sick. That move will forever be known equally Paxtoning someone.
Garrett and Raina's discussion almost standing on the threshold of the age of superhumans was fascinating and peradventure leads into a theory pointed out past Den of Geek's own Gavin Jasper: that Raina and Skye could be Inhumans, or else, the outset of a dawn of an age of superhumans beyond the core Avengers. Raina represents the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a woman who is trying to usher in a new age. Just have to say, grown people proverb the word gravitonium is awkward and silly, simply Raina continues to fascinate. She sees the super human revolution coming; perhaps she is foreshadowing the "historic period of miracles" a certain HYDRA Baron recently spoke near. Raina knows that Skye is the primal to the revolution, but refers to her every bit "a monster" which is intriguing. Inhumans? Something else? We have all summertime to discuss!
It seemed the season wouldn't end without a cede, as Fitz confessed his love for Simmons too belatedly. You could almost hear fandom'southward collective hearts suspension during their watery escape…until we run into a waiting paw helping Simmons out of the h2o. Nick Fury's surprise rescue is ane of the most dramatic moments the testify (or any of the Curiosity films) has had to date!
Have I mentioned lately how much I demand to see Ward get his smug confront smashed in? Hey! Ask and you shall receive! Skye's introduction of her "surreptitious weapon," the fighting mad Amanuensis May, was pricelss. May then proceeds to smack Ward all over Cybertek HQ. Hell hath no fury indeed. She also revealed that Ward'due south a bottom. I knew it! She also boom guns Ward's foot to the floor, which kinda speaks for itself.
Nick Fury has mastered the art of the dramatic archway, and to make things fifty-fifty improve, he fifty-fifty gives Coulson the aforementioned gun good ol' Phil used to blast Loki in The Avengers . Remember Cybertek'due south "incentive program?" It involved them holding their ain employees' families hostage, including Deathlok's son. Once the male child is freed, Deathlok pulls a Vader and takes down Garrett. Now who didn't see that coming?
Garrett's attempted regeneration later on he was taken prisoner and his immediate vaporization by Coulson was a freakin' hilarious Firefly -esque scene, and would make whatever show's highlight reel.
The season ends, appropriately plenty, with the man that started it all, Phil Coulson, who is rewarded. Rewarded for the pain he endured during his resurrection, rewarded for the faith in the team he put together, and rewarded for being good old loyal Phil, the human who has been the Curiosity Universe'south abiding since he offset uttered the earth SHIELD in the first Iron Homo film. Phil has been made the Director of SHIELD past Nick Fury himself, and as nosotros look toward next season, we know it will all exist okay, because nosotros have the steady hand of Phil Coulson to lead the states.
There were some bumps in the road, and it was far from perfect, but in one case Agents of SHIELD got a shot in the narrative arm from Captain America: The Winter Soldier , information technology became the show it always had the potential to be. But the show is still congenital on questions, and we are left with quite a few:
What the heck is that formula Coulson is carving into the wall of his new HQ? What kind of shape volition Fitz be in after his ordeal at the bottom of the ocean? Who is the man covered in blood that Raina meets with to close out the season…the homo she calls Skye's begetter? What is Skye's truthful nature, anyway?
Marvel Moments
– The reemergence of Patton Oswalt, only this time as Billy Koenig. LMD? Artificial Intelligence introduced at the dawn of the Age of Ultron? Hmm…
– Deathlok has now cutting ties with HYDRA and wants to make up for his by sins. I guess this Marvel Universe has a new hero.
– The Loki gun from The Avengers .
