“Belt Buckle” is probably technically the best episode of Mystery Show, but I absolutely love with all my heart the Jake Gyllenhaal finale

“the big brother from Sing Street” 

We really don’t talk enough about the fact that Tom Holland and Jamie Bell look exactly alike.

Oh yeah I specifically meant the antagonist’s character, motivations, and plans are the same, not really anything else (give or take a few generic fish-out-of-water moments). Maximus is a genetically different, physically smaller brother whose schemes to steal the throne send his family to earth because he thinks he’s…

Also the alien enemy is definitely the Kree right? Which makes me extra curious about how this all would’ve/will tie in to SHIELD at any point.

They had the exact same villain plot as the first Thor movie, I guess they figured they might as well have the same resolution as the last one too.

I'm guessing scheduling too - Charlie Cox is the only one who wasn't filming back-to-back with his own series.

I don't know if shortened episode orders would completely fix the Netflix shows (it would help the already strong ones for sure) given The Defenders is only 8 episodes but they don't even actually team up until episode 3.

SHIELD is still 22 episodes for season 5

Luckily it is still getting the full 22 episodes, and they pushed it up to right after Inhumans ends so it can finally air without any big breaks. I'm not sure if budget cuts were ever confirmed or denied though.

Agents of SHIELD's MCU tie-ins felt weirdly mixed this season. Doctor Strange's magic influencing the Ghost Rider arc was well done & relatively subtle. It never felt thrown in & I still understood it even though I hadn't actually seen the movie yet.
But they also just casually introduced superhuman registration as…

Carrie Coon, obviously.

The Fury Road path this needs to follow is sweeping all the sound design awards, tbh.

Meemo was being carried out by coroners.

I mean, of course there are in-universe explanations for everything, I guess I was referring more to the fact that Sanvers (and only Sanvers) was an ultimate-endgame-otp from day one, and has never realistically strayed from that. And tbh, it probably never can. In a post-Clexa world, their relationship has plot armor…

I already don't think Sanvers is the paragon of representation a lot of others seem to think it is, but I straight up laughed at Alex and Maggie getting married. They've only known each other for what, six months? Like, do they even live together yet??

I mean I'd say Jemma has at least 4,722 hours of darkness & pain…

Okay I haven't understood all the calls for LMD Ward/Trip/Hope tbh. A Radcliffe LMD makes sense because his actual consciousness was uploaded to the framework, but the others were just bits of code shaped by/for real people. It would've felt like cheap fanservice to get well-liked actors back and not legitimate arcs…

A true visionary! But hey, at least the rest of us realized the error of our ways pretty quickly

Sure, but now it's usually bounced off of Harry/HR, and he's become way more well-rounded as a character that it never really reads as obnoxious comic relief anymore.
