It sucks Nadeer was killed off. I wanted to see her hate crimes exposed and having to face her brother after he's done with his second terrigenesis. Killing off now makes her a martyr.

It's happened before, but usually more as a one-off than an ongoing thing. The first that comes to mind is a new Inhuman in one of the early Charles Soule-written Inhuman(s) comics who blamed the Inhumans for "infecting" him and tried to kill them all.

Goes to show that bigotry is as toxic to the bigots as to those targeted by the bigots. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

A little anticlimactic ending for Nadeer, kinda like Whitehall. I guess it's just unfortunate the Superior isn't half as compelling a villain.

Is Shockley supposed to be Nitro? If so, why couldn't they use his name?

Nitro is associated with the xmen typically though hes not a mutant. Actually he tied more too Mar-vell. Shit think hes fought spiderman more then any xmen. Iono why they didnt use him. I associated Nitro with The death of Marvell and civil war thats about it. His part in wolverines rediculous healing from being just a skeleton was silly, happened way too fast. Wolverine killed him though right? Originally Posted by Amenra11

My take away point was that Shield is composed of tactical idiots who cannot plan an operation. If they are so understaffed that they cannot put enough folks in the field to avoid embarrassments like Mace getting cattle prodded and captured while Dr. I Make Sex Slave Robots has backup up while Shield has two dudes who just have to duck for cover - well, they suck as an agency.
It was really stupid. Coulson is supposed to be such a great field type - needs to go back to Tahiti - I think the Kree Mobil 1 in his brain needs changing.

This part of the season seems to be where they introduce and then sweep away all the interesting aspects. Nadeer's brother and then Nadeer, the Director's authority and pretty soon a main cast member. Originally Posted by Tracer Bullet

Well Nadeer's brother could always come back, but without the senator around his storyline is pretty neutered. Originally Posted by Iron Fist

I gave up on this show once Ghost Rider left. Is it worth checking out again with some new Inhuman stuff, or is still that stupid storyline with May being in the closet and that android?

It isn't just shotguns and spy gadgets. It's high tech machinery that's been designed to give actual Avengers trouble, some of it designed by freaking Tony Stark himself. It's helicarriers and jets that turn invisible. It's an organization that has used a cyborg with superhuman strength and teams of Inhumans before. They've weaponized alien technology and designed cells that can actually hold Asgardians and Inhumans. Originally Posted by Chrysalis_Changling

Um, yeah. You might have missed this from the MU, but SHIELD actually IS a big deal. Remember, SHIELD provided the very weapon the Avengers needed to repel an alien armada. SHIELD also nearly took over the world when Hydra revealed itself and tried to use SHIELD's newest helicarriers to exterminate everyone that would be a threat to them. SHIELD's timely appearance helped the Avengers save the citizens of Sokovia.either makes Coulson And Friends seem like a bigger deal than they are or it makes the threats seem small time if they can be dispatched with Good Ol Shield Tech randomly laying around
Some of their technology has been designed by Tony Stark himself and no less than three Avengers were agents of SHIELD at one time or another.
What on Earth made you think SHIELD was small time?

The show hasn't even hit the level of some of threats comic SHIELD dealt with. What we've seen of the Darkhold doesn't have the oomph of the Overkill Horn or Zodiac Key.

Tied to the X-Men so that makes him off limits. Despite not being a mutant (basically everything that Midvillain1322 said). Originally Posted by Amenra11

Man I still can't believe what kind of a lame villain the Superior is. Talked up as such an intimidating, mysterious and powerful figure.....and he turns out to be your generic standart russian mobster. With an absolutely mind boggling stupid motivation.
"Doh, Coulson was at each of those alien scenes, he MUST be responsible for them too! It's not like investigating them is his JOB or anything!"
