Drummy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey all -- Overall B+ from me. The writing at the beginning was clunky and forced (one conversation between Coulson and May literally sounded like two people reading a -script), but by the second half it all came together pretty well. Crusher Creel was fun, the theft of the aircraft felt necessary, and the surprising realization that Fitz had *really* lost his mind was nicely done.

nmtg9 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Crusher Creel Rocked! Glad to see one of my fav Villains brought to life. When he started swingin that ball and chain around I was waving my JIM 114 in my wife's face yelling "see, see, that's the Absorbing Man!! From right here March 1965." Yah I know I geeked out but it was worth it. It was fun to get that excited at home watching a TV show. I really hope he sticks around for a bit this season to cause lots of trouble!! Yep i geeked out to my wife too. Creel was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBT Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 i think its goofy when people chase villain books, I suppose at least he is in multiple episodes before he is killed/imprisoned/forgotten. villain books are always ones you want to sell into hype, not buy into. Considering he was announced months ago, its not like anyone should be surprised. Heros that become permanently better known/more mainstream than the past, that's the kind of books people should be focusing on. But hey, the longer the masses arent looking, the longer they stay cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are confusing Creel with Thunderball from the Wrecking Crew, and it is easy to see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sckao Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Easy to see why... Both the Wrecking Crew and the Absorbing Man gain their powers via the Norse Gods (Loki). Both also belong to Baron Helmut Zemo's Masters of Evil in a multi-issue storyline titled "Avengers Under Siege" http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/mastershelmut.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexsus Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I know Tom Hiddleston had said he wouldn't mind a cameo on Shield. Introducing the Wrecker through that would be awesome. Never really thought about it, but Shield is a great medium to introduce some of these iconic, but not quite movie worthy villains into a live action setting. Though of course then seeing them appear in say Thor 3 wold be pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01TheDude Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Quick! Pick up all the JIM 114's off eBay! Now! RUN! picking up 115, 121 and 122 wouldn't be a bad idea either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manetteska Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 To echo some others here, for the first half of the episode I debated dropping the whole series; trying too hard on the secrets/espionage/conspiracy stuff. A couple shows I know start off good and interesting and then buried themselves in their own mythology and convoluted plot twists. The second half really pulled me back in. Finally some people with special powers and extra terrestrial objects doing crazy things. I'm not that much of a Marvel historian, so is the big baddie reveal at the end mean anything to anyone?

gadzukes Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 No discussion of Tuesday's episode yet? What's going on? My favorite moment was the slow motion bullet bouncing off Crusher Creel's head. My least favorite moment was when Crusher Creel started talking. I've always pictured him with a gravely voice. The actor playing Creel looks great but his voice didn't seem right to me.
