Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 (2015)

 


!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Shadows
    • The tiny glasses are a choice thats for sure.
    • Is this hinting at us unboxing all these dangerous things?
    • Ooo, so the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that were bad when hydra started taking over are selling secrets to random people now? Fun.
    • They got actual news reporters to appear in the movies? I wonder how much they got paid for that...
    • Are we going to get more of a background on some of these other agents that have joined the team?
    • Ooo, he can turn his skin into diamond.
    • Poor Fitz, he may not be qualified as a special agent anymore.
    • Skye looks just different enough to almost look like a different actress but isn't.
    • Why are we allowing the traitor to live?
    • That is a LOT of Hydra sleeper agents.
    • Why wouldn't he make his entire body that material to stop himself from getting hurt?
    • They couldn't have rehearsed the lines a little beforehand? Or used flashcards instead of hand gestures?
    • They're just gonna let her go with the item like that?
    • Ya couldn't have cut it off back at the location so they could box it back up to take to Colson?
    • I'm surprised that Mae didn't get hit. 
    • WHAT DO YOU MEAN SIMMONS LEFT?!? HE HAS BEEN TALKING TO HER THIS ENTIRE TIME.
  • Heavy is the Head
    • What do you mean you can't get him out of there? What is pinning his leg? He looks like he should be able to just slide out the window.
    • Did they capture him just to drop him?
    • Mouth breathing mercs?
    • Why would we rather catch a vigilant then the bad guy?
    • Was their name really Idaho like the dtate?
    • I feel like this season is going to be pushing Skye out of everything and that is a shame because I like her and she kind of helped keep the team functioning as well as they did last season.
    • Sure, tell her to hang on as she is already a gonner.
    • So what was that material that he absorbed?
    • S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be a life for most but for Skye it most definitely is sir and if you really knew her and belonged with the team in both heart and soul, you would know that. But you're just another two-timer, so you don't.
    • The British guy is two-timing them, right? He's getting paid the millions to lead the government to Colson?
    • Did he really take out the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents so he could take out the metal guy using lethal means?
    • Did they KO him?
    • I thought he already worked for you and he turned on you? Why would you let him back in?
    • You're going to finish shattering his world saying she left dude.
    • What do the symbols actually mean?
    • Who is this new guy? And why is he making her touch the thing? Why isn't she dying like the others?
    • Why so many cars?
    • Well, if they are hardly S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, then you should have no problem with them continuing to operate.
  • Making Friends and Influencing People
    • SIMMONS!
    • They use Fitbits? Cool.
    • Where is Simmons working now?
    • How did the Ice Kid get to Morocco?
    • Home boy is turning himself into a bad guy by freezing the dude, not to mention confirming the fears of him being harmful.
    • Interesting that they really only appear to be frozen on the surface even though they are frozen enough to shatter into pieces that allow us to see that.
    • Has he known that Simmons was here all along or did he just search her up?
    • What is the point of putting the beverage into a glass when it is already in a bottle you can drink out of?
    • Wait, did you just say she is working for Hydra?!? I thought the pin on her jacket resembled the emblem, but I was hoping I was wrong.
    • Do they know that Colson visited her?
    • Ooo, they are turning her into more of a Hydra agent by putting her out in the field. Can she do it? Maintain her cover?
    • How are we considering this her first mission? She did tons of missions with S.H.I.E.L.D., she even almost died from getting shot during one.
    • OH DANG! HE IS PUTTING HIM THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. He's going evil.
    • Oh no! They are going to take out Simmons!
    • How can he freeze everyone inside without freezing them on top too?
    • Poor Donny, wonder if they will retrieve him from the water?
  • Face My Enemy
    • Why are we stealing a painting?
    • Mae is so different when she is on an Op then when she is existing with the team.
    • Writing on the back of the painting? It's giving National Treasure...
    • That's crazy that they can just shapeshift like that with a flimsy digital mask AND change their voice too.
    • So he knew Mae wasn't herself because of the coffee comment but he didn't think the military guy was a fake even after he said he wouldn't break his cover? Make that make sense.
    • How can they trace a call on the secure line? I thought that was the point of a secure line?
  • A Hen in the Wolf House
    • I don't know if we should be proud of Simmons or scared of what is to come?
    • So what is Skye's actual name then since he wants to point out that it isn't her name.
    • Does he understand that is his version of Simmons is thinking things about guys being cute that he probably thinks that too right?
    • Uhoh, Simmons is getting sloppy with her work... Wait, how did she move that file to the other guys drawer that quickly?
    • Why can't they just let her go if she wants to go?
    • I KNEW THAT PERSON LOOKED FAMILIAR! SHE'S PART OF SHIELD!
    • See, she just wanted to see who her father was.
    • I'm sorry, did Colson KO those people to trick Skye into thinking her father is a monster?
    • What is Fitz gonna say when he sees Simmons? Will he think she is fake?
    • How does her hair make her unreasonable?
  • A Fractured House
    • That's kind of crazy that the rest of the world doesn't see S.H.I.E.L.D. as a problem, just the US government.
    • Excuse me but there is no way those guys were part of S.H.I.E.L.D., they would never purposefully want to do harm to those leaders. That is Hydra, no doubt.
    • How the heck do both Ward brothers end up working for the wrong team?
    • Why did he have to change the subject? And why did Skye get in trouble for it?
    • So were these two conversations not happening at the same time?
    • What do you mean he was never on your team? He was def originally part of the team.
    • I wonder what the brother is going to do with him when the custody exchange is over.
    • Why does everyone keep turning to dust?
    • Ya'll really didn't think to secure him better than that? He was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at one point, y'all know what he is capable of.
    • Wait, wasn't that the guy that had a burnt face and put on the metal body before being imploded?
  • The Writing on the Wall
    • How do these people who we have not seen get the alien injection have the same symbols running through their minds?
    • Glad we were smart enough to put people on multiple buses.
    • I wonder what the marker is that she finds that determines it had the GH injection.
    • Oh, wow, there were 6 people before them. Six lives that will never be the same but they weren't going to exist anyway, were they? At what point is it not ethical? 
    • How do you think they found this Host that they use for the cures?
    • Uhoh, the Hydra guys are going to take him back...
    • Okay, so it is not the guy that disappeared, but maybe he is related to him?
    • Take care of him, how?
    • Both? The killer was there and didn't end his life? That's wild.
    • Little does he realize that Colson is a lunatic now too.
    • Do you need to carve bodies to go deep though or can you do something else like a side of a cliff or such?
    • So once you find the final answer to the puzzle, you lose the urge? That's good to know. Technically, you could help others with the serum now and just give them that solution to stop them from having the urge.
    • Is this going to be a journey to the center of the Earth mission now? Trying to find that city... What if the city isn't even on Earth. Maybe we should ask Thor.
    • Uhoh, he is gonna pretend to be his brother and do political stuff now? This could be very dangerous for the world...
  • The Things We Bury
    • Sometimes I question if this is meant to be modern or not because they come off very WWII in their ways.
    • The face looks the same and the glasses are the same but the clothes and the accent are very much different. I wonder if he is just immortal and they are indeed two seperate time frames. Unless they are twins raised by different parents in different areas and its all the same timeframe.
    • How the heck did he get these oddly specific instructions?
    • We are getting a lot about Agent Carter, was this intentionally done to lead up to her show airing back then? Because in a few more episodes we will be switching over to her show for a brief time...
    • Is this guy talking to blondie about getting into the inner temple and reuniting with his family, secretly part of the alien species that built the temple, and also known as Skye's dad?
    • Are all the people who can interact with the item without dying part alien?
    • A Senator who takes responsibility for his choices/actions? Sure sure.
    • Is he going to dig out the well and throw his brother the Senator into it?
    • Wow, haven't had anybody use cyanide on the show in a minute.
    • If he wanted validation in what happened why didn't he just go to the youngest brother and ask him how he remembers it? Although, I guess that if the older brother told the middle brother before doing it, that the youngest brother may not actually know...
    • Do you think oldest brother became a politician to try and buy his parents love with success?
    • When did Fitz get his other hand working? I guess maybe the repetition...
    • Why is this secret city in Australia? It feels off.
    • Adrenaline junky.
    • Dude, just because that isn't what you named her doesn't mean that isn't the name she chose for herself. Get over yourself and deal with the name they all use.
    • Oh dang, he not only took out his brother but also his parents. We missed that part of the escapades.
    • That is a lot of blood on Colson's shirt.
    • 25 years ago?!? He doesn't look like he aged at all!
    • Wait, so who is the mom and who killed her? Was she the one on the operating table that he took everything from?
  • Ye Who Enter Here
    • COLSON AND MAE ARE THE ONES WHO PICKED HER UP AS AN INFANT?!? That can't be true! We met the guy last season, who said he had picked her up and that the female agent who had also been a part of it had passed away.
    • Why can't he talk to Simmons? Is it because of the fact that he talked to her when she wasn't actually there?
    • WHAT HAPPENED TO MAE'S FACE?!?
    • We haven't seen that guy since the start of the season.
    • How come she gets a lanyard just like that but the rest of them had to go through the ringer for theirs?
    • THERE ARE TWO OF THOSE GUYS!
    • Oh my god, I just realized that the new blondie agent (Agent Bobbi) is the same actress who plays the commander lady on The Orville!
    • Sam and Billie both think the other is the shorter one? Really?
    • So why did Agent 33 leave the Mae disguise on after they zapped her with it? Why wouldn't she take it off and just wander around as herself?
    • Why would you say some ridiculous number like 13?? Say 4, slightly more reasonable.
    • I'm sorry but seeing your parent when you were born because they delivered you does not count as meeting your parent. You don't start retaining memories until like 4 or 5.
    • How could they see the ship with the camouflage panels on? How did they figure out how to ping her tracker?
    • Is the city just a giant version of that item the people can't touch?
  • What They Become
    • He keeps mentioning this so called promise but here's the thing, Skye never asked him to do this so that promise was something he said and made to himself. She may want to meet her dad but she should be able to do it under her own terms not somebody else's.
    • HER MOTHER WAS THE ONE THAT GOT RIPPED APART ON THE TABLE!
    • Why is he just touching her like that? Sir, you have not known me my entire life, you do not get to touch me and pretend we are family.
    • Of course you have heard it before, it's a very common nursery rhyme song! It has no significance.
    • Her mother didn't age? You know the chinese have very good skin care routines that make them appear as though they don't age, maybe you are mistaken...
    • Is he really going to be mad that somebody else took him out before he could? Like jeez, the guy is dead, isn't that the important part?
    • Y'know, for somebody who hasn't been around the past 2 decades and didn't make much of any attempt to find her, he seems to care an aweful lot about making an everlasting impression of being her only "father". Like sir, providing your jeans makes you biologically related but you haven't been there for anything so you do not get to call yourself that.
    • DAISY?? HER NAME IS DAISY?!? Skye is so much better.

Marvel Reviews w/ Rambo - Agent Carter Season 1 (2015)

 

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Now is Not the End
    • I appreciate that even though we have seen the movie and gotten glimpses into S.H.I.E.L.D. that they still show us how her story got a start.
    • The phone company? That is the cover we are using? Can't even say secretary at a military recruitment place?
    • The red hat makes me think of Carmen Sandiego.
    • Is this before she gets recruited by Stark like in the One-Shot about her?
    • Yeah, Stark, creepy is not the way to go. Leave some sign that it is you.
    • He's gonna go over seas in that little personal boat?
    • Is she just saying Stark is scared of water to throw them off his trail?
    • Why do men always get the ick when you mention having lady stuff going on? 
    • Where did she get the blonde wig so quickly? And what did she use to knock the guy out?
    • Ooo a watch that cracks safe, where do I get me one of those?
    • "You understand that this job will require certain after-hours assistance, correct?" "So does my wife" lol
    • Now she's a chemist disarming an explosive?
    • Poor Colleen. She didn't deserve that.
    • How did her hair not catch fire, but his hand burned?
    • So where is she going to stay now?
    • Is that the same hand she burnt, or did she do the other hand?
    • That's kind of cool, it's like sending a text message but with a typewriter.
    • I think Mr. Stark will understand.
    • I didn't think it was going to suck everything into it...
  • Bridge and Tunnel
    • Agent Carter, the original girls girl.
    • Would a health inspector really be wearing a lab coat?
    • Oh yeah, that position at the desk is very lady like.
    • Oh god, why does the radio make her out to be such a damsel?
    • It seems Carter is only ever just one step ahead of her team and one step behind the bad guy, she needs to pick up the pace.
    • How many of these black-hole-creating devices do we have?
    • I wonder if heels can be identified just as sneakers can be from the treads.
    • How in the world can an apartment implement a curfew?
    • How are they sorting the debris?
  • Time and Tide
    • She kind of looked like the Black Widow actress for a quick second with her hair pinned up in curls like that.
    • I wonder how she learned of the male visitor. I am also curious why it was necessary for Carter to stay for that whole debacle.
    • Oopsies, I wonder if it will lead them back to the butler guy and if he will end up arrested. His poor wife.
    • Oh, smart. Reported the entire car as stolen after they got rid of it.
    • She is so smart, coming back with paperwork to snag the stolen car report.
    • Honestly, she is far better giving up the shield for the crutch than giving it up for you, jerk.
    • Why doesn't the butler have his own self-defense weapon?
    • Why does Stark even have these inventions?
    • That was an interesting New York accent.
    • I thought she would've left when he went to make the phone call.
    • Why in the world does their siren sound like that? It's like the incoming storm alarm they play in movies.
    • Aw man, that SSR agent wasn't the nicest, but he didn't deserve to be taken out like that.
    • Dude having a wife and girlfriend may just be reason for me not to be sad he got taken out.
  • The Blitzkrieg Button
    • I wonder who actually took out the agent and the witness. Because it was not Peggy.
    • Ooo, is she going to sneak him into her room? She is going to lose her place to live.
    • How in the world did they get the film that small and how would you be able to view it?
    • The greatest city on the planet? That feels like a stretch.
    • Offering a visitor water out of a nasty toilet is diabolical.
    • I thought he said he would help him escape, death is technically an escape but it is not the escape I thought he meant.
    • Wow, Carter did not trust Stark or Jarvis, crazy.
    • Why in the world does he have Steve Rogers' blood?
    • Does anyone deserve to have his blood though? Like. shouldn't you have the original formula that was injected into him? Why do you need his blood?
    • Who the heck is this woman that just took out the assassin?
    • How in the world is she going to fix that hole in the wall? Oh, a painting. Fair enough.
  • The Iron Ceiling
    • I'm sorry, we are teaching the little girls to be like Snow White but also like Elektra?
    • Why in the world did Dottie just take Carter's room key?
    • Did she actually read that in the note or did she make it up to get in the case?
    • Oof, her shoulder scars gave her away.
    • It's crazy how much nicer the guys they met up with treat her then the guys she works with from day to day.
    • It's crazy to think that both generations of Starks were involved in the government military strategies and both generations decided they wanted out of that.
    • Yeah, I would not have trusted one lonely child left in a building like that.
    • I thought deadbolts could only be locked and unlocked from the door closed position...
    • And here he was thinking she was going to be the one holding them back.
    • So crazy neighbor girl is from that school that they just invaded. Got it.
    • He's trying to decide if he should turn her in or not...
  • A Sin to Err

  • SNAFU

  • Valediction

Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

 

Comedic relief. On point soundtrack. Characters who have chemistry even when they don't. Action-packed scenes from start to finish. What more could you ask for? Okay, so maybe it isn't quite action-packed from start to finish, but the amount of slow scenes that aren't still keeping you entertained is practically zero because if there isn't a fight scene going on, there is some type of comedic relief keeping you laughing as the characters work toward their next fighting scene. And honestly, the retro feeling soundtrack is everything you need to know.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Why did that guy have to go and interrupt her talking about his daddy? Is he not allowed to know about him?
  • I'm sure its just because he is sad to be losing his mom but why can't he just take her hand and show her some love?
  • I forgot he was taken as a boy and not as an adult...
  • Was this Marvels way at competing with Star Wars? Why do most space movies look the same... is it just me?
  • Isn't James Gunn the new DC universe guy? Why is his name in the Marvel universe with Guardians of the galaxy?
  • Chris Pratt is such a fun actor.
  • Does he make his own gadgets or did he buy them from somewhere?
  • Y'know him working through this system to steal a relic by replacing it with a fake is very Indiana Jones like.
  • He really thought these guys were going to know his criminal name lol.
  • Yeah, this definitely gives off Star Wars Rebels vibes.
  • Wait, who is this pink lady in his ship?
  • I know now that his last name is meant to be Quill but I usually here them saying Will instead.
  • I think it is too late for you to still be complaining about how y'all should've turned him in when you captured him.
  • How much body paint do you think they used in the making of this movie?
  • Also, how come Humans are very rarely actually part of any type of Galactic Council?
  • Again, did not realize Thanos gets mentioned this early on in the universe... I should pay more attention.
  • Is there any color skin that doesn't exist in this universe?
  • I love how most people are still just wandering around like this is a daily occurrence for them.
  • WAIT! WRECK IT RALPH IS IN HERE?!?
  • He really said I'm gonna die for my music player.
  • Groot straight up gave that guy a lybotemy.
  • Nobody noticed Groot taking the battery besides Drax.
  • Somebody should teach Groot to quickly grow his roots into a dense shield to protect himself... Oh, never mind, he knows how to do that.
  • How is Rocket handling that weapon with one hand?
  • Dude, I think there are more important things to worry about than the fact that Starlord stole a leg.
  • Their ragtag group started coming together very quickly, almost too quickly.
  • The fact that Starlord paid for the leg instead of just stealing it is crazy. Goodie two-shoe.
  • Was anti-gravity really the answer?
  • With the broken window, I don't think you'll last very long in space...
  • I always did love his little whistle pen.
  • Use her elbows? For what?
  • So Gamora is his favorite daughter, but she doesn't even consider him her father because he kidnapped and abused her.
  • I love the subtle lines in Gamora's face that show her cheek bones and such.
  • How do you almost drop it like that?!?
  • Aww, Groot essentially said I gotta save my bestie and ran lol.
  • And, now that they don't have a common purpose with a similar agreement, they are all on their own. Goodie.
  • They have more siblings than the 2 of them?
  • Poor Drax.
  • Aww, he really loves her; sacrificing himself to the guy.
  • Good thing Groot got left behind.
  • Sometimes I wish we would've gotten some captioning of what the I am Groot means because while yes Rocket gives us a rendition, I wanna hear exactly how Groot meant it.
  • And here we are hearing about yet another infinity stone. Was I the only idiot who didn't catch on to any of this?
  • Didn't explicitly mention she is his daughter though... although it's not Ronin's daughter, it's Thanos' daughter, huh? And even then, she isn't that.
  • So... if they are going to get back the infinity stone and turn it over to people who can contain it, how does Thanos end up getting it?
  • They really do mention the Infinity Stone a lot in this movie. I must've been so oblivious to everything.
  • She flinched.
  • That forward thrust really isn't moving you much.
  • I don't think that is how you are meant to fly a ship but okay.
  • It's pretty cool that the little ships can all lock together to form a grid and slow down the big ship.
  • Where inside of him does Groot just keep these bugs and how are they still alive??
  • HE DIDN'T SAY I AM GROOT THAT TIME!
  • He took them all out before a single one could fall to the ground, wild.
  • I finally realized what the blue and orange colors on the ship made me think of, Ashoka from Star Wars.
  • And yet she still would not let her sister die if she could help it.
  • So Starlord's helmet thing, is it an earwig that expands? How does that technology work? Is it a headband that wraps around the back of his head and we just can't see it?
  • GROOT DIED IN THE FIRST MOVIE?!?
  • How do I watch so many things and forget all about them again?
  • He has another word in his vocabulary! He said We!!!
  • So literally the Villain is the one who made them a team and gave them a title.
  • Why does he seem so sad?
  • So how can Thanos handle the stones by himself if it takes all of them to handle one?
  • He totally switched out the orbs.
  • I do not like the outfit Gamora has on in this final scene.
  • It's cute that he kept the present this entire time. And funny how it's a new mixtape for him that hints at a sequel. But also, that was a big box for a cassette.
  • So does Baby Groot retain all of his memories from the big Groot? Also, did they actually know that the stick would turn into a new Groot, or did they just hope? Did all of the sticks turn into new Groots? Is there just gonna be an army of them running around that planet now?
  • Why doesn't Baby Groot dance when Drax is looking? I know there are fan theories on that...
  • SPACE ASTRONAUT PUPPY!!!
  • Howard the Duck?
