There sure as heck was something going on behind her eyes - a glimmer of emotion? A struggle to find meaning, or reconciliation of realities? - but we're left as puzzled as to what as Reese is in his reaction shot.

Amy Acker bathed in bright morguelight, those enormous, expressive peepers staring at the infinite - I couldn't help but think of the beatification of St. Root, The Light in the Grove. Driving backwards while shooting out the engine block of an SUV certainly would count as a miracle.

The look on Shaw's face when she gets the news is…I don't know what to say. I'm as puzzled and as intrigued as Reese is in the cutaway shot, trying to read an unreadable expression. But there is clearly something going on behind those dark, dark eyes, something that isn't finished moving around yet.

AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!

This sounds like a case of dueling anecdotal evidence. You seem to hit a lot more AoS specific sites than I do, so I can't speak to those, but all the more generalist comics/sci-fi/pop culture sites I visit, whenever there's talk of the show there's talk of shipping, even from the smallest tidbits. Heck, the AVC…

That's completely untrue.

Grudging upvote.

Okay, I like the show and think it's unjustly bagged on, and agree that it's way more than a 'ship launch, but c'mon, you're ignoring FitzSimmons (they even had a friggin' love triangle!), Coulson and Rosalind, even May and Andrew.

Well, of course they have to cast an unknown. That's part of what would make a movie even greater - it'd be an amazing opportunity for a young actor of color, and perhaps enough of a media splash of a choice to put an unknown young brown person, in the role of a Muslim-American, as the starring role of a tentpole…

You know, Ricky, I just realized that you're a lot like a Stephen King protagonist.

Or the Kamala movie.

Man, I miss the Black Bolt gimmick account.

Well, I'm sold.

I suspect that Dude With Big Sword in the trailer is Wong, which would be about what I'd expect. No WAY were they gonna touch traditional Wong.

Are you primarily familiar with the character through the Netflix show, or the comics? Because, to be perfectly frank, "martial arts = Asian" is exactly the type of stereotyping being decried here. I can see this error happening from the casting of Yung in the show, but from the comics, I dunno.

And some seriously prime cut Edith Massey.

Yeah, I'd agree with that assessment (and that Pecker is his last good movie). I think he's a different person now, and that person isn't really a filmmaker. Maybe he'll come back to it someday, but I'd rather wait until he really gives a shit.

I'd even put The Host above Memories of Murder. It remains one of the most adroit tone-switching movies I've seen, even amidst the work of a country known for tonal whiplash.

Metamorphosis Odyssey up to the end of Starlin's run (Peter David then took over) is every bit as good as his original Warlock run, I think.

That's probably Daina Grazunias (I hope) - she's cowritten a few novels with him (I've never read any), and I have fond memories of their goofy fumetti in the backpages of Dreadstar, back in the day.
