The Agents of SHIELD season 2 finale had a lot going on.
It might have had too much going on.
Here’s Marc’s review.
ThisAgents of SHIELDreview contains spoilers.
Well, another season ofAgents of SHIELDhas come and gone and again we are left with a mixed bag.
Now, the way the series has dealt with the Inhumans has been a little inconsistent.
With teleporting dogs, goat legged warriors, and fish men, the Inhumans have always been aboutvariety.
We had a rather gripping confrontation between the Inhumans and SHIELD.
The climactic battle would have probably been better if the show fleshed out a few more Inhumans.
Did I say Coulson lost an arm?
But Coulson selflessly caught the crystal, exposing himself to its properties and was turned to stone.
What is this, Star Wars?).
I guess we will have a radically transformed Coulson next season, perhaps with a bionic arm?
Or a gun arm?
Gun arms always rule.
Im thinking a Deathlok prosthetic, myself.
Remember, Jiaying had the power of rapid healing; she even survived being dissected by HYDRA and Whitehall.
But these abilities were not innate.
It was all very stilted and awkward and did not play well at all.
How did this classic villain translate to live action?
Um…not very well.
It was really Kyle MacLachlan with his hair mussed up acting weird and walking like a constipated monkey.
Couple all that with him slowly hugging Jiaying to death (and why cant she heal?
), it was not a well executed end to Cals prolonged character arc.
Although I did like the idea of SHIELD mind wiping Cal and turning him into a suburban veterinarian.
I would watch the shit out of aMr.
Hyde, Animal MDshow.
Some better moments of the season finale involved Bobbi Morse and Hunter.
Bobbi lived and I guess we will see the continuation of their love inAgents of SHIELDseason 3.
Ward and Agent 33 werent as lucky.
When May and Hunter came to Bobbis rescue, the masked 33 posed as May.
Looks like HYDRA isnt so dead after all.
A unit that one could really consider a team of Secret Avengers.
Nicely done Marvel, nicely done.
But you know we had to end things with a cliffhanger.
Now, that should kick off a summers worth of speculation.
Marvel Moments
The alien artifact kind of looks like a Venom symbiote at times.
If Marvel wanted to increase ratings, they should just change the name of the show toThe Secret Avengers.
Rating:
3.5 out of 5
