I think Powerless had a "Britta" problem. Community had an issue the first few episodes where their female lead wasn't well liked by viewers. The show solved that problem by "demoting" the character to a more support role, which allowed Gillian Jacobs to play more to her strengths.

I never understood that theory. I know depressing roles can affect depressed actors but that was so obviously not the case here. He looked like he was having the time of his life playing the role, and it's probably a big reason why the performance was so appreciated. I had a big grin every time he appeared on screen

Assumed. I questioned a lot of what I thought I knew about Americans after the elections.

This kind of analysis would make more sense if an electoral campaign was a competition against oneself, instead of what it actually is which is a competition between candidates.

Laser-inth is another example of what makes Bob's Burgers such a special show. This being the 7th season, this kind of sentimentality between a dad and his son should normally be played out by now but 1) BB has always used those moments sparsely and 2) the episode doesn't make the mistake of having a dialogue telling

I understand what you're getting at but I don't think you get the scale of what I'm asking for. I'm not proposing a character asks "Where's Poochie" every time Poochie isn't onscreen. I understand AOS has to be its own thing and I also think that the constant reference to the MCU during the first season of the show

I would totally buy that explanation and it would be very quick to explain.

First of all, the Ant-Man movie did have the Avengers in it. There's a whole scene where he's breaking in the Avengers HQ and has to fight Falcon.

Well, he's not. He was a minor character that got popular and promoted to lead status. He only began to have a real impact on the MCU after Fury stepped down and gave him his job but before that, the entire point of his character was that he was a red shirt. You can't take away the "rags" part from a "rags to riches"

Oh, come on! Any generic SHIELD agent could have saved Pepper and hook up Thor. In fact, a generic SHIELD agent did since that's what Coulson was supposed to represent initially.

Again, I have nothing against fan made theories - and this one isn't bad - but they are just that: theories. The show had currently given no explanation about why no single Avengers are present in this universe and it's all that matters.

This isn't "a crisis", it's a world turned upside down. If there ever was a time to ask "where are all the superheroes?", this is now.

That goes back to my original comment: we can make up an explanation on our own but the show won't provide us with one. I don't think it's a case of the writers not telling us what the explanation is, I think it's a case of them ignoring the topic altogether. There's no way Jemma and Daisy sees the world turned upside

There's no reason for the real Captain America to be in the framework but a fake version of him as well as the other Avengers should still be present. If we accept that Coulson never joined SHIELD in this reality, none of the changes made affected the Avengers.

That season is turning into something really great. Sadly, it's now more obvious then ever how disconnected the MCU became. There can no longer be any doubt that this is a universe with no Avengers in it. We can make up an explanation as to why Captain America isn't fighting HYDRA but the show will not make one for us.

She didn't take Daisy's powers away; at least, not directly.

We have to keep things in perspective. They did a total of 173 episodes together in a span of 7 years. It's highly unlikely they would have made it this far if they had hated each other from the beginning.

What may even be more important to her is that Fitz is the man that crossed the universe to save the one he loves. Aida wants romance and to her, Fitz IS romance.

I like the psychology of Aida. She seems genuinely hurt that she was considered a thing and the way she confides in Fitz makes her seem like she longs for companionship. In a way, she was a victim before she became a bad guy. She's not Ultron, she's Frankenstein's monster.

They had too many characters, a problem this film doesn't seem to fix.
