Consent obtained by deception refers to saying you are someone else or something else. Like if it was dark and someone claimed to be the wife's husband, but really the husband's brother. Or maybe the person claimed to be performing first aid but really was engaging in sex. Or having a disease but not telling the…

Yes. It happens in the comics all the time. Different character operate under different threats. Street level heroes are dealing with crime, but arent affected by the big bads like Loki or Ultron. What happens is that Jessica Jones just doesnt run into any Norse Gods. It's a story. You can dictate what happens.

If you think it's better that the dead Ward is suddenly revealed as the Grim Reaper and the clearly miscast Thomas Ward is Wonder Man, then I don't know what to say. That's crazy. They would be better of introducing them in their own storylines as their own characters.

That was just an example off the top of my head. I could have used calling Zombie Ward Illyria as an example that I disagree with, but I'm talking to you.

Yes, a series about a vampire with a soul is pretty similar to a spy show in the Marvel universe. I havent seen the Lost comparison a whole lot. You see the other two more frequently because this is a "Whedon" show, even if Joss probably has very little to do with the development at this point. Often times it's just…

I didnt say anything about note-perfect adaptations. I'm just saying Ward is a different character who serves a different role in the story. They've told us that from the beginning.

Why does SHIELD need to always be compared to Angel or the rest of the Buffyverse? It's done by a different team, as Joss or David Greenwalt and the rest arent heading up the show.

No, but I dont think he's running for president.

The actual twist happened in episode 16-17, pretty far off from the midseason or season finale. Ward's turn was the definitive twist of the season and probably the series.

It's a joke. Proton Cannon is a super he uses in Marvel vs Capcom.

We are arguing different things. I'm saying that naming a character Skye, which is either a stripper's name or a clearly a fake name, gave them an out. And using a superhero identity with multiple people have occupied isnt that big a deal. I'm not saying they can't do a Lash or something like that, but Ward as a…

But the rules have changed, as they keep saying. Metahumans are everywhere.

This is the midseason finale, not a proper season finale. Although last season's twist was midseason, the first season's twist was just randomly episode 16 or 17. So there is no established pattern when twists should happen. In fact, that's argument against the twist happening when you expect it. Because then it's…

How many Grim Reapers in Marvel are there? I think it's just Eric WIlliams. Deathlok is a everchanging identity. That's my point. Skye is an alias and they told us that from the beginning. It doesnt matter how much you change about her origins. They gave themselves an out for her to be a different character. If you…

Have you seen his proton cannon? He can fire that thing from pretty far away. It completely goes onto the next screen.

I mean it's not a real critique of the show in my mind. I think you can argue for a change if it better serves the story's goals, but something completely different becomes just fanfiction at some point.

I think the show is centrally about Coulson. Other characters get focus, but at the end of the day, he is the central protagonist and why the show exists.Thus he will get the most screen time. After all, Ward's death isnt just the result of one season of build up; it's the entire series.

Maybe that's the twist.

Yeah, but most of the idiots against SHIELD will first try bullets.

I think he can only melt metal as far as I can tell, so he's no match for a repulsor blast or a proton cannon.
