Static Shock!

We say that now, but a few episodes into this thing Black Lightning will make a lightning doppelgänger who becomes Black Savitar.

Yeah, but ever since her heel turn she's only barely above "villain-of-the-week" status.

Is Artemis even a supporting character at this point?

A deus ex machina is when some unexpected plot element suddenly and abruptly solves a seemingly hopeless, unsolvable situation. I would say Robbie's return fits that criteria, especially given how Fitz described Aida as "unstoppable" last week and how Ghost Rider's powers perfectly counter her own.

Yes, teased. She has 20+ abilities we never got to see. Why bother establishing that if we're only going to see a few of them? Why not just tell us she only those few? It's an otherwise pointless detail.

It would solve the issue of the demon book because that's how good stories are written. They've done that before. That's what they did at the end of the previous three seasons, and at the end of the first two pods this season. But they didn't do that here. Robbie's sudden return could not be more of a deus ex machina,…

Reduced on The Flash or Legends of Tomorrow? Because I want to know why he was taken away from The Flash to begin with.

"a better example of that kind of movie"

Right, story-wise the number of Inhumans Fitz experimented on is irrelevant. That's the problem. Why not just say she has 5 Inhuman powers? Fitz's paranoia still makes sense even if she only has that many.

Re:4. MCU version of the Negative Zone Prison. Coulson and his team are there with a bunch of previous villains who weren't killed off.

And then Talbot says his autopsy leaked and outed Mace as a faux-Inhuman.

Why would the show have used more of their VFX budget showcasing a bunch of new powers? Why would they go through the trouble of explaining she has so many to begin with? They didn't need to tell us she had ~24 Inhuman abilities if she's only going to use a few ofthem.

That's uhhh, that's a little concerning yeah?

The Resurrection of Gavin Stone

Yeah, that just sorta ended. Aida's defeated because the one person in the series who's more powerful than her walked back into the show at the end of the previous episode. She also only used the same three powers she showed off last week, even though Fitz says she has the abilities of around two dozen Inhumans. Mack…

It's times like this I wonder who the **** thought it was a good idea to write Wentworth Miller out of this show in the first place.

They probably feel like Batman in that Justice League episode where Vandal Savage changed the outcome of WWII and the other members of the League went back in time to stop him.

Because who cares about the thousands of years of horror Aku's put the world through when you can get some booty?

If Jack goes back to the past and kills Aku, Ashi would never have been born to begin with.
