Brigadier General Glenn Talbot aka Graviton
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Television Series)
This is just a quick little character remark. Someone told me that they were not fond of General Talbot.
My response was this.
Brigadier General Glenn Talbot would have been different man had he decided not to serve. If he had not climbed the ranks and chosen to exit the service sooner, it would have given him more time with his family and more free will. He would have become a different person overall. Talbot was always a loyal and good man, but was inevitably playing part in a larger chess game every time. He took his orders as opposed to Philip J. Coulson (former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.), who always ended up doing what he thought was best, against given orders. When Glenn Talbot became Graviton, he was no longer required to follow any orders and no longer a participant in any game he did not want to be a part of. Thus, his immediate actions were entirely self-serving, leading to his demise.
His arc is quite frankly tragic.
