MARVELS agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

Ok guys so as you know Marvel has made a new show. This show is about agent Coulson and a small team that basically take care of super human problems, because you know who would want a bunch of superhuman running around.......right? This is in the same universe as the avengers and I really like that concept. But I can't help but notice a few similarities to Firefly, lets us take a look shall we?



Agent Coulson, The leader of the rag tag group= Malcolm Reynolds
Agent Ward, The muscle of the team that you don't want to mess with= Jayne Cobb
Melinda May, The warrior women of the group that could easily kick your butt= Zoe Washburne
Leo Fitz, The genius who would rather not get his hands dirty= Simon Tam 
Jemma Simmons, The intelligent, friendly member of the gang= Kaylee
Skye, The only member of the group that is not directly involved but see this a way to get a head= Inara
 The Bus, The vehicle that is the home for the whole crew= SERENITY
  (Oh yah a shepherd Book was in it to)

Personally I loved this show, it had a great concept and good episodes. Then the 5th episode came out and I felt a hole burn into my soul (get it cus the episode involved Fire). So from now one the this is a SPOILER POST, you have been warned.

This episode started off great it had a cool new character who could control and make fire, then he is kidnapped be centipede, you know the evil organization that they expected us to remember. So then the team is called in to find out what happened to this guy. I not going to through the whole episode but here are my complaint.


  • The first episode plot was "there is a super human under control by the bad guys" 4 more episodes in there's a superhuman being controlled by the bad guys.
  • When Coulson was trying to take down scorch with his special gun he sees that scorch made a fire shield to block the bullets. What does Coulson do he just keeps firing until his out of ammo.
  • When there out of tranquilizers and scorch is out of control what is awesome problem solve solution the use to defeat him. They Don't!!! They just blow him up, and it was just a huge waste of character potential. Just imagine if we got to see scorch return as a recurring villain, awesome right! But no he was just another Darth Maul.
  • Finally the Doctor. The doctor was responsible for the first superhuman in the series, and after 4 episodes we get to see the doctor return. A character with no development now has the chance to keep us asking more question about this mystery organization. Nope burned alive, end of the doctor end of story. 
 I wasn't a fan of this episode but I believe that this series has so much potential. I say what they need is sort of a superhuman arms race, were each side is trying to gain the support of superhumans. I also think that they need superhumans with more drive, you know when they really step up to the plate and truly become the hero or the villain.

 So those were my thoughts on the series tell me what you thought of the episode and the show all together.
