My reaction would be along the lines of "whoa, how did a kid who died in WWII so accurately predict the cultural climate of the 60s & compose music which borrowed so heavily from artists of the 50s?"

MCU can use mutants who aren't part of the X-Men franchise package (for example, Squirrel Girl is supposed to be in the upcoming New Warriors series); they just can't call 'em "mutants".

I feel like Ivanov is BAMF enough to expose himself to Terrigen just to be sure.

A few weeks ago, we were talking about how he might be a Marvel version of Resurrection Man.

Seeing Aida only a few months after "Galavant" ended makes a person realize how good Mallory Jansen is, too.

I am a little bummed that Senator Nadeer didn't get to see Vijay alive again, didn't get to see that she'd failed.

And then Simmon's-mother-Superior jumps the gun.

That's clever, but when you keep a lot of sensitive top-secret materials that might need to be destroyed at a moment's notice in your hidden spy base that gets infiltrated once a year, having a big incinerator is pretty reasonable.

I would say watch the pilot, then just read the next few episode recaps online (including a gif of Chloe Bennet's stunt scene from "The Asset"), then start watching again at "FZZT".

They refuse to say yes or no about Ghost Rider returning. I never heard anything about a Punisher crossover.

Since he'd already scanned her brain, he probably just figured "better safe than sorry". Considering the original LMD mission was to protect SHIELD agents, he might've even started building it *benevolently* long before he was exposed to the Darkhold.

Not only did they make a Damage Control pilot; they made a "put pilot", meaning that if they never air it, ABC has to pay Marvel a penalty fee. Most Wanted just had a regular pilot.

I mean, at this point, I'd be happy if they just aired the pilot as a one-time special. With ABC all gung-ho about the Inhumans series this fall, they likely won't be picking up Damage Control at all.

…So you think Radcliffe would program an LMD to destroy his earliest, easiest, & greatest chance of another LMD getting the Darkhold?

Like, national-TV-level exposed. A bunch of randos seeing him at an incident scene doesn't matter unless Stark or Rogers are there personally to see him too.

I mean, that sorta IS what happened. Then we know real-world Aida overpowered her & put her in the new simulation, then May eventually beat THAT, et cet.

I dunno, Marvel *does* have TV rights to all their licensed-out characters….

Yeah, as soon as she started fighting Aida, I remembered that.

*coughrealworldallegorycough*

He wouldn't have stopped Aida if that was the case.
