Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and Agents of SHIELD totally just took a field trip to TAHITI.
There was a temporary resolution to the Skye cliffhanger and two more characters from the
comic books were featured.
There was also something of a reveal at the end.
So first let’s talk about our top 5 WTF moments, then I’ll tell you some of my theories
of what that big reveal was at the end and then my review.
In case you’re finding me for the first time, usually Tuesdays are dedicated to Marvel
videos.
I usually do Agents of SHIELD when there’s a new episode and a Marvel Movie video.
This week was a little different just because there were some important trailers to do.
But let’s talk some TAHITI.
Careful for spoilers if you haven’t seen the episode.
But Number 5 - Melinda May frees the beast all over Quinn.
This is ABC so I didn’t expect her to give him the business to badly but it was still
pretty fun.
They hadn’t done much with the Quinn character after they captured him.
I would have thought Ward would have been the first one to smash his face.
They whole moment was really used just to get Coulson to figure out that the Clairvoyant
wanted Quinn to shoot Skye so that Coulson would take her to the TAHITI place and give
her whatever super serum he received.
Plans within plans.
This really only sucks if you’re Skye because shooting her was a red herring.
It had nothing to do with killing her.
Number 4 - Bill Paxton guest stars as Agent Garrett from the comics.
It’s always fun to see people from the comics.
In the comics Garrett is mostly known as a former SHIELD agent who was turned into a
cyborg.
Like the same type of thing that happened to Mike earlier this season.
Before he became a SHIELD agent he was guilty of all kinds of awful stuff.
Had he been in the DC Universe he would have been recruited for the Suicide Squad.
That’s how bad he was.
Eventually he even was flagged as a potential future Avenger.
All I could think of when he was on screen was Aliens when the Colonial Marines were
searching for Aliens.
Which is actually kind of relevant to one of my other top moments.
Number 3 - TAHITI isn’t such a magical place after all.
So this was a bit misleading.
Because TAHITI turned out to be a special facility with a miracle drug.
So it kind of was a magical place.
I had hoped that they would find more teasers there than they did.
But a couple of things we learned were that Nick Fury is a level 10 agent.
Meaning it probably stops at 10.
More to the fact, WTF does TAHITI stand for.
It’s an acronym, so let’s try to solve that rubix cube in the comments.
Speaking of which, who else got a tesseract vibe from the computer database Fitz and Simmons
used to find the location.
It’s a SHIELD blacksite, meaning there are probably more hidden illegal underground bunkers
like this all over the world.
The Winter Soldier is going to deal with some of these secrets within secrets that Coulson
dealt with this week.
Number 2 - The regenerative serum they gave to Skye.
The whole conceit before it was revealed to us was that the serum was what made Coulson
go crazy and want to die during his regeneration.
That’s why he didn’t want them to give it to Skye.
If you didn’t catch it, Coulson and the team talk about how she didn’t make any
noise when they gave it to her.
Meaning she didn’t have a violent reaction to it like coulson.
I’ll talk more about that in just a sec.
and my Number 1 moment - The blue alien inside the TAHITI room.
So many WTF things about this, so let’s start with the biggest part.
Who is he?
Well Marvel doesn’t legally have rights to use the Kree and the other possibilities
are Frost Giant and Centaurian.
The Centaurian’s are who the race Yondu from Guardians of The Galaxy are.
He’s being played by Michael Rooker and as you can see.
The person in the tank does look larger than that.
So I really do think it’s a Frost Giant.
It would certainly fit with all the other connective Thor tissue the show has had this
season.
So what does it mean that Skye didn’t flip out when she took Frost Giant blood.
She has Frost Giant DNA.
Who else do we know in the Marvel Universe that looks like a normal person but is really
a Frost Giant...Hmmm…Loki of Course.
He’s 100 percent Frost Giant but was like the runt of the litter.
So just because Sky is potentially a Frost Giant doesn’t mean that she’s related
to Loki.
But hopefully we’ll find out.
Isn’t it just so curious that the next episode is another Thor-based episode with Lady Sif
and Lorelai?
There are no coincidences.
My Loki Clairvoyant theory is starting to seem less crazy though.
But alternately, it’s totally possible that Marvel worked out the legal mumbo jumbo to
use the Kree and that’s who it is.
It would be a bit left field seeing as we haven’t seen the Kree anywhere in a Movie
yet and introducing them would be a huge deal.
But let me know what your vote is.
Was the blue alien a Frost Giant or was it Kree?
Remember, it was really just the upper half of an alien.
Overall I gave the episode a solid B plus.
Even though they showed a freaking alien, the episode had it’s lowest ratings all
season.
We can probably blame the olympics for that, but the story was great.
The only thing that I didn’t like was the Hospital scene.
It felt like they were trying to do a mini episode of ER or Grey’s Anatomy.
I don’t like hospital shows if you can’t tell.
Bill Paxton was great as a sleazebag SHIELD agent from the comics.
And as much as people are down on the show I think that once they reveal the truth behind
whatever the mystery of Skye’s parentage, The Clairvoyant and Coulson’s mystery serum
are the show is going to exist in that meta comic book place that everyone wants it to
be in.
Like I said next week Lorelai is even bringing magic into the world, the world of SHIELD
so to speak.
I have some suspicions about the nature of magic in Thor as Loki practices it too.
One of the cool things we learned about that from Dark World was that Frigga, his mother
played by Renee Russo, was the one who taught him magic.
I’ll be really interested if it turns out Skye really is part Frost Giant because it
provides some interesting opportunities to mirror Loki’s narrative.
Finding out you descend from your sworn enemies, but you made a home with a different race
of beings.
Loki obviously went a little nutters, but he is named after the god of mischief.
In other news, lot of awesome comic book bombs being dropped on Arrow.
If you’re not watching it yet, they’re bringing on the Suicide Squad and they just
teased Harley Quinn for the next episode.
I’ll be talking about that tonight.

Also feel free to leave suggestions for my next Marvel Tuesday video.
Mostly I like them to be movie related.
