i actually think these two would have the biggest chance against doom bc no matter how many times he kills them they're gonna just keep coming back. they can annoy him to death

May and Coulson in early season 2 always break my heart. Coulson who keeps having to put his family in harm’s way and still tries to take care of him. Who was given too much responsibility too fast. Who cooks Simmons meals while she debriefs because otherwise her fridge consists solely of siracha and beer. And May who takes to being Skye’s SO with grace and care. Who is firm and tough, but also fair and kind. Who tells Skye to stay close on risky missions. And you remember that Coulson has throughout season 1 been looking for a way to keep the good in shield and work through its flaws. But you don’t know that May is someone who wanted to be a mother. That May has deep desire and capability to care for someone younger and guide them. But she didn’t think she deserved it. Because she killed a child. And it’s only after getting them through the fall of shield that she opens up to Skye. I will never get over how much that backstory informs all her choices. Great writing.

Rewatching the first avengers movie and iron man saying ‘you have reached the life model decoy of tony stark’ to agent Coulson had me choking on my drink

X-Men au: SHIELD would be monitoring Hydra and AIM who are trying to make a collaboration. But this would also be the same day that the Wildcards would stop them and the team would be officially formed, catching shield's attention.

Nick Fury: Interesting... These supes are an interesting bunch.

Agent Coulson: They sure are, sir.

Maria Hill: We've got one of the most important faces in the mutant community, New York's friendly neighborhood vigilante, a ninja from another dimension, a girl with squirrel powers, and an ex-merc who might be insane.

Coulson: Sounds like one hell of a mismatch team

Maria: Might be why they call themselves "The Wildcards"

Nick Fury: Still, they work very well together... Who knows, some of them just might be Avengers in the future

Maria: Weren't you already considering The Rusted Knight in the future, sir?

Nick Fury: *Nods* Yeah, but Spider-Man, Psylock, and Squirrel Girl have potential as well.

Coulson: Should we keep an eye on them then?

Nick Fury: Yes, they show promise, and I have no doubt they could be some of the best of the best in the future.

Coulson: Understood, sir.

*Right after the fight between Hydra and AIM*

Jaune: Alright, team, looks like that's a wrap! Who's hungry?

Peter: I could kill for a nice hot dog right about now!

Sai: How about some Chinese?

Doreen: Oh, what about some Pizza?

Wade: Nah, I know this awesome Mexican place, the burritos are to die for!

Jaune: Why not get it all? I'm sure we can get it all, besides, we just beat Hydra and AIM, I'm sure we can spoil ourselves a bit

Peter: Sweet!

Sai: Very well

Doreen: Lets go!

Wade: You're the man, RK!

the funniest bit in any marvel content is still and forever will be six minutes into the pilot of agents of shield when agent coulson hides in a dark corner waiting for ward to say he knows he's dead because he's level six just to step out in the light with "welcome to level seven". king of dramatic entrances

[dragonagitator]

love how he finally realizes that he's Situations Georg and then starts shouting at the writers about it

One reason why Agents of SHIELD is one of the more interesting Marvel/MCU projects out there is that you can pinpoint the moment where Marvel started to lose interest in the show and gave more creative freedom to the showrunners. Because at the start, it was just a glorified vehicle to advertise Phase 2. There was the direct tie-in to Iron Man 3 and the Thor: The Dark World episode.

But then, near the end of season 1 and throughout season 2, you can tell that Marvel Studios started to care less and less about the show and, thus, gave more leeway to the showrunners to do what they want. And this slowly led to the show becoming darker, edgier, and grittier. I think since the show was starting to become less of a season-long commercial for the movies, the showrunners didn’t have to be so family friendly anymore.

Let me put it like this. In season 1, you had an episode where Fitz and Simmons were working on pranks to do on the crew. Also, Skye being outed as a cosplayer and the gag scene where Fitz got stuck at a door.

In season 4, the season literally starts with a Daisy Johnson panty shot, followed by Ghost Rider murdering white supremacists. It’s not even subtle violence, a character gets covered in someone else’s blood, with the implication that Ghost Rider tore that dude’s neck or something.

If you weren’t there at the time, I can’t stress enough just how different the show felt when season 4 came along.
