JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 If Ward is not undercover, they are going to have to find a new leading man type because Coulson just isn't it. Bill Paxton has a certain presence whenever he is onscreen with Clark Gregg, and yeah, he tends to overshadow him. Clark Gregg is a fine supporting actor, but it's clear neither him nor his character are leading man type material. Even when he is angry and shouting, he reminds me of my 12th grade Chemistry teacher, who was never particularly intimidating either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bffnut Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 If Ward is not undercover, they are going to have to find a new leading man type because Coulson just isn't it. I don't think he is undercover because he killed Hand. It makes more sense now that he killed the false Clairvoyant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 More likely he is under some sort of mind control, a pre-determined implant that was activated by the Clarvoyant. For the last few episodes Ward has appeared "off" to me as if he is under some form of inner duress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...they can't get rid of him, he's in love with Skye...and either he's under some kind of influence, or he's just a terrible actor;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Remember, even though there are a LOT of attractive females, the producers are not just catering to males, . There needs to be a good looking youngish male lead and Fitz is not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronx Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The casting is still off with the show but the storyline has definitely improved and the tie in with winter soldier was very smart. I love the direction of the story. My theory is that we are seeing the introduction of Thanos and the Kree. They keep on mentioning the coming of a great power. I believe they are talking about Thanos and he will be using the Kree to attack. Now here is where it gets wonky. I believe Sky has been given Kree blood which will turn her into a version of Ms Marvel. I'm not sure what that makes coulson. Can't picture Captain Marvel or Nova but is there a character I'm missing. At this point Shield will have to come back for Season 2 so that Marvel can tease out the time between Guardians and Avengers 2. If they stay in this direction, I believe they can tease out Thanos and lay the groundwork for the start of the Civil War storyline. It's too early to think they can tap into an Infinity Gauntlet storyline but man this has potential to be a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delekkerste Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The latest episode was what I wanted to see from this series from the beginning - lots of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (not just three senior agents babysitting three kids), a big, unified menace (HYDRA), Marvel tie-ins and lots of action and unpredictability - not the cookie-cutter Scooby-Doo meets 90210 :spoon: we got for the first half of the season. I still think they got the casting wrong, but, I will admit that every character has at least improved as the season has progressed. In any case, this was a genuinely very good episode. Hope to see more of this and less of what came before going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see wanton Vengeance against Paxton as in character after being wrong about Coulson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
