Things get even darker in a loaded episode of Marvels Agents of SHIELD.
ThisAgents of SHIELDreview contains spoilers.
Thats why its very ironic and very cool that right now there are two awesome villains onAgents of SHIELD.
Madame Hydra is the cool part of that dastardly equation.
And this week, that back story took center stage on the Framework drama ofAgents of SHIELD.
Which brings us to our next awesome new villain, the ironic half, Doctor Leo Fitz.
Its almost painful to watch this Fitzs turn to the dark side.
But in the Framework, this same gallant romantic murders a woman without blinking an eye.
Last week, Simmons woke Coulson up to the reality of the world of the Framework.
But this Fitz seems to be irredeemable, a HYDRA loyalist to the core.
The mousy Coulson is a blast as we watch teacher Coulson slowly transform into Agent Coulson.
This week, we check in on Mack.
Hope is a brilliant gearhead just like her daddy.
She is Macks greatest joy and his greatest weakness.
More irony as Daisys most loyal real world friend causes her exposure and capture in the Framework.
This betrayal seems to have awoken Macks heroic side as he ends the episode joining with SHIELD.
And yes, theres a SHIELD.
And this Framework SHIELD is led by Jeff Mace, codenamed, wait for it Marvel fans, Patriot!
If you are reminded of when Coulson meets Steve Rogers inThe Avengers, you arent alone.
I am right there with you with the warm and fuzzies.
But thats kind of where the good feelings end.
In this so very compelling alternate dystopian timeline, it looks like all hope is lost.
We are witnessing SHIELDs darkest hour, and man is it fun.
Hearing Jeff Mace call himself the Patriot should make any old school Marvel fan happy.
Rivera is the spitting image of the character.
Make it happen Marvel!
