The chest is some Power Rangers/Smallville grade A bullshit.

Also, Deathlok should be gross as fuck. Like Iron Maiden's Eddie. A peg leg and some scars are not cutting it.

I don't mind that he's not more scarred. (They could always blow him up some more.) But that chest piece is an eyesore. It's like something from the Star Wars expanded universe.

Outside some scant usage of red and yellow, there's nothing about it that resembles or is emblematic of Deathlok.

I think what's bothering me is it seems like he's legit wearing dress pants or black slacks underneath a mechanical suit of armor. It just looks weird.

I'm sure he'll end up with metal on his face eventually. Might also be worth mentioning that those arm guards
have rockets built into them, so they're not just for show.

as I've suggested before, he'll probably get blown up again.
this time SHIELD will save him, but when he awakens, he'll be more machine than man. He'll be free of control, but decide to work SHIELD against the Clairvoyant.

That's some terrible fucking dress. Did she recycle the upholstery of a bordello?

She should have saved that dress for the GotG premiere.

I'm actually hoping we see a Bus/Agents of SHIELD character cameo in a future movie. Winter Soldier seems like the best opportunity, but there's still Age of Ultron.

They kind of screwed the pooch by making his transformation so gradual. They really should have gone all the way post explosion, but all of these half measures dulls the impact. I do not think that we would ever see him go as far as the comics, but even showing him being relatively fine (except for missing a leg) and THEN getting the chest peice etc, kind of makes it all seem rather senseless and silly for him to be wearing the upper body piece and gauntlets etc.

Though the back looks like it could be an omega version of the serum he had/has on his arm...

It is just that the suit does not look much like cybernetics.

I think it's unfortunate how little the shows tie into the movies but as much as I would like for the week after Cap 2 to be something cool tied to the movie the fact is a lot of fans don't get to see the movie the first week out. How do you avoid spoiling the movie yet still having a tie in that's worth doing?

That's kinda what happened already. They were hyping up a Thor: The Dark World tie-in, and all it ended up being was "this guy is an Asgardian completely unrelated to any characters or events in T:DW." Then a few months later when it's guaranteed that more people have seen the movie, they do another tie-in that more properly follows up the events of the film.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is what happens with the Cap tie-in, but they've been talking up how much the events of Cap 2 effect the Agents of Shield show itself, so maybe it'll be something more immediate and impactful.

Wow! There are eight Tuesdays between now and then. That would mean that from now on, it will actually be on every week, except for once.

AoS doesn't come on next week. After that it airs for 7 straight weeks

ABC still says "New episodes every Tuesday!!" though. Not sure why they keep saying that.

The Thor 2 tie in was BS, the Sif episode later on was cool though.
But I think the final 7 episodes of AoS are the tie in to Captain America. What happens in TWS directly affects SHIELD, therefore changes everything in AoS, so even though they may not cross over directly(I really hope they do), they will run parallel to each other.

Again, it was confirmed last week that the next seven episodes will air consecutively beginning April 1. No more interruptions this season.

I have no idea how exactly the show will handle the TWS fallout or how well-executed the resulting storylines will be, but they're not going to have the option of doing something as tangential as the supposed TDW tie-in. Trust me.

It's also definitely not something that can be dealt with and resolved in the span of a single episode.

Damn it. I have tickets in my hand to go see it tomorrow, but now a relative's birthday party is happening that I can't skip. :(

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I'm a week behind so I just finished Sif.

Anyways, Odin wants Lorelei alive.

Yeah, being this is post Dark World, I bet he does since we all know that Loki is impersonating Odin.
