Damn, I just realised that there are skeletons lying around Wardminator when he rises, wow...
thank mr skeltal
Hey Funky Papa, can you
that part:
So for reasons that I cannot comprehend, I have spent the last several days consuming an insane amount of MCU fanfic almost all involving a pairing that will never happen (the characters have not, and likely will not, ever meet.)
So during every single Daisy/Lincoln scene I'm like "I think I read this in a fanfic, and the fanfic did it better and with a better couple." And I don't even dislike Lincoln! Oh well.
And yes I too expected Hive!Ward to now demand clothes off of punks.

I'm all about the Fitz harem of Simmons, Daisy, and Bobbi. This is a thing right?
And someone probably tossed in Maria Hill for some reason. And sex pollen. And soulmarks. And... seriously, fandom comes up with some weird shit. I don't read all of it I swear!
EDIT: And in my defense, I really really really really want it to be May and Civil War, and these situations sometimes lead me down a dark dark path.
*waits for duckroll to show up and REALLY make fun of her*

It looks like you are in luck, since they are going to spin him off along Bobbi for their new show

Because Marvel Studios don't care about their TV shows.
But seriously, drop some Avengers on Malick's ass and be done with it.
"Cap, there's one member of Hydra left, he's kind of a nuisance."
"On it. Avengers! ASSEMBLE!"
Go pew pew pew, and swoosh, and smash, and bzzt and pfffft on his and his Inhuman army's ass, be home in time for shawarma.
"Okay, can you get Banner on the phone then?"
"He's kind of MIA...."
"How do you lose a 8 ft green monster?"
"Long story."
"Thor?"
"Off to Asgard and Heimdall isn't returning my calls."
"Widow?"
"She's training the recruits."
"Recruits? Okay, I'll take them!"
"They're not field ready."
"Goddammit. At least get me Hawkeye."
"Nope, he retired."

I just can't get out of my head how utterly dreadful everything about that conference was.
Alias had better production values and more credible scenarios back in 2001. AoS just plainly stinks when it tries to go big.

Why Coulson didn't tell the other representatives that Talbot was off his rocker and Malick the real evil and opted to take it like a champ instead? Why Hydra couldn't secure Talbot's son somewhere else in order to avoid his rescue? In which universe foreign dignitaries are allowed to meet without carrying their own armed security detail?
Because AoS writing tends to be abysmal like that.
I'm eternally conflicted about this show. When it's good (those alien planet episodes were amazing), it's damn good. When it's bad, it looks like the product of a 13 years old comic-book reader being allowed to play with a 90's TV show budget.
Those the show can write off as "in-the-moment, no-time-to-think" blunders but Talbot's about-change is a long-term problem that will be present any time the ATCU interacts with another country, which it seems it will with the Russian sanctuary state.
Coulson didn't have any credibility at that point. Anything he'd say would only escalate the situation further in favor of Malick.
I mean, I figure the whole reason they did this storyline to begin with was to introduce Talbot as a series regular and have him "turn good" so you're not going "wait, why the fuck are they trusting him now?" all the time. So I don't think it really matters all that much what happened in the episode at all.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
How will he be able to convince the representatives when everything they threw out at that moment, heavily stacks against him? Its only his words against Talbot, Malick, the fake arm injury and the various secret recording of their rooms which they exposed.

It's less about convincing and more about seeding doubt and gaining time.
"Okay, fine, you've got me".
That scene was poorly handled. But AoS has a tendence to treat foreign countries and their representatives as bamboozled ignoramuses.

Agree with the terrible production values. Nothing about that symposium looked good. The boardroom where they gather is laughable, yet there's time to outfit handprint scanners on all the rooms. But why even have that when you can scale the building outside and go through the window?
And that gunfight? Hydra guy shoots panel, Hunter pokes gun out as "cover", Bobbi slides down a table totally exposed.
Coulson and Talbot are cuffed to each other, locked in a jail cell, and then lined up to be shot. Uh.
Sometimes I wonder about the censors. A bunch of charred skeletons and Terminator-Ward is apparently okay, yet with Daisy they can't show anything below her shoulders.

I'm just waiting to find out that one of the people Hive-Ward ate had some irreplaceable knowledge or skill Malick needed. Oops.
That was some Mortal Kombat shit with Hive Ward at the end lol.
Thought it was a good episode, fun action and all characters that showed up were used well. Including Lincoln, who had a little more personal touches to his dialogue this time (plus, no sleeves).

Wait, I thought they weren't allowed to do that? That's no different than using "Scott Summers" in place of that guys name.That was some Mortal Kombat shit with Hive Ward at the end lol.

I'm thinking it might be a case similar to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Manifold showed up first in the Secret Warriors comics, then became an Avenger.

He's mostly associated with Secret Warriors/Avengers... so he might be in the same situation as Scarlet Witch.

Not everybody who's a mutant belongs to Fox, clearly. He didn't even exist when those contracts were made.
Also, the date on top of the page - 4-7-2009 - that's the date of his first appearance in Secret Warriors.

Fox has the rights to all mutants, I don't think creation dates matter. But where they were introduced and who strongly they're associated plays a part into it too.
That last point they probably boil down to appearances.

At which point Talbot would shoot Coulson a really dirty look for mentioning the Hulk. So many wasted opportunities!
