man that episode was on point

hope they carry this momentum all season

edit: looking fwd to gifs of quake & rider running at each other

also the intro...

 

[MisterFalcon]

As one of the 3 people in the world who liked the Matador series it's no surprise Gabriel Luna crushed it.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Kinda weird how the scope this season feels smaller. Love Ghost Rider. Seems like the ghost thing is how they introduce the whole magical side of thing.

It's welcomed. The sense of scope has always been really weird on this show. Season 2 is probably when it felt most natural, but Season 3 was really odd. A smaller focused story is much needed.

 

[Gothos]

Okay, I'm gonna give this show another chance. Stopped watching somewhere in the second half of the 1st season so hopefuly it got better with 2 full seasons

 

[Hex]

Godammit!! This episode makes we want a Ghost Rider netflix series even more now. With Johnny Blaze of course

I must be the only one that liked the Danny Ketch run.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Holy shit that was a good first episode.

Like, welcome to level seven, good.

 

[duckroll]

The only thing I would change about the episode is that I would have the ending montage show Simmons in bed with the new director, and Fitz is sitting at home crying alone.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I thought it was excellent *shrugs*

Ghost Rider was cool, Quake is the best she's ever been, not too much boring science/agent shenanigans, little to no shipping, etc.

I wish they added more violence but I liked what I got! Looking forward to episode 2!

 

[Nokagi]

Great first episode. Feels good to be hyped for this show again after the rather lame season 3.

 

[darkhunger]

While 2+3 are stronger than Season 1 and you are better off probably seeing them, I think you theoretically could jump into Season 4 with little background as Season 3 wrapped up a lot of arcs.

Probably hard to understand the Skye-->Daisy-->Quake transformation and the Inhumans stuff without watching previous seasons though, and those still seem like core elements of the show.

But I guess it's worth it to jump on just to see Ghost Rider in action.

 

[EchoChamber]

I heard season 3 is bad, but is on Netflix it is worth it to watch it?

 

[Htown]

I heard season 3 is bad, but is on Netflix it is worth it to watch it?

Yes.

 

[The Elite]

Season 3 wasn't bad. It's pacing was a problem though. Especially when it came back from hiatus.

 

[mjc]

Season three was pretty solid IMO, definitely suffered from the ridiculous breaks.

 

[fallengorn]

Season 3 wasn't bad. It's pacing was a problem though. Especially when it came back from hiatus.

Yeah, on the whole it was decent. (It's not like they plugged a hole in the plane with an inflatable raft again.) But they pretty much loaded the front half of the second half with a lot of filler.

 

[Lashley]

Decent enough start

S3 is good but will benefit greatly from being able to watch straight through

tv breaks really hurt the shows pacing

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Still looks rad.

 

[Maintenance]

That VR thing is totally telegraphing some twist at some point in the season where someone realizes that they're in VR ALL ALONG!

Agents of Shield: Ghost VRider.

 

[BrokenFiction]

That VR thing is totally telegraphing some twist at some point in the season where someone realizes that they're in VR ALL ALONG!

I thought for sure at first we were looking at the brain scan technology that Stark was using at the beginning of Civil War (with young Stark).

Lol.

Exactly! It was hilarious (and sad). But overall it was a very good episode! I watched the prior season finale just before the new one and it was a nice change in pacing and it was nice to get away from Hive/Ward. That just dragged on to long last season.

Prediction: A female member of the team is going to be crippled and they will use the VR along with the LMD to stay in the action. May?

 

[Exploratory]

THIS IS SO FUCKING DOPEEEEE AHHHHHHHH

I think you are 100% on the money with this one.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Transformation needs more laughing

 

[Broken Joystick]

I hope we see him going through this the first time, seems like it'd be absolutely terrifying.

 

[StudioTan]

So happy AoS is back! The first episode was a great setup for the season, there are tonnes of possibilities for where they can go from here.

I heard season 3 is bad, but is on Netflix it is worth it to watch it?

It's not bad at all, a few bleh episodes but some really great ones as well. Definitely worth binging.

 

[KarmaCow]

I get that they're using the new director's paranoia as an excuse but I hope this season doesn't devolve into bullshit that could have been solved by a simple conversation.

 

[Drunken Master]

My heart stopped for a couple of seconds when I saw his transformation

Lol.

Yeah I thought that was well, not that it's a complaint or anything.

 

[TheOMan]

LOL, that's mean.

Excellent first episode.

 

[The Kree]

The eyes look shoddy mid transformation.

Lol.

If I was a director, I'd just start every taping like that. Then apologizing to Chloe that her scenes didn't make the screen, but maybe next time!

 

[Ithil]

The skull isn't bad, but that transformation CG looked like it was from the 90's.

Someone has a hilariously rosey memory of CGI from the 90s.

 

[TheOMan]

SHIELD came back with a bang. I look forward to what they do with Quake & Ghost Rider this season. Hopefully Robbie actually uses the chains that Johnny Blaze is commonly known for.

And Fitz, please, you got this far with Simmons. Don't fuck it up over LMDs.

Simmons LMD incoming.

 

[Ithil]

First five minutes in their new timeslot, someone gets their brains splattered all over a guy, and closeups of Daisy putting on her underwear. 10PM everyone.

 

[Danthrax]

The only thing I would change about the episode is that I would have the ending montage show Simmons in bed with the new director, and Fitz is sitting at home crying alone.

and the director is crying too

while simmons smokes a cigar

Didn't she already do that once?

You must not know what 90's CGI actually looked like.

The 2090s?

 

[BrokenFiction]

The 2090s?

Ghost Rider 2099 confirmed.

 

[BlackGhost]

Thought this looked pretty cool last night and still does to me.

I've seen some pretty bad transformations, this wasn't one for me.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This was fine, when the car gets hit by the RPG tho. lol

 

[strafer]

so what the hell was that in that box..

is that the story for this season?

 

[Jay Shadow]

This was fine, when the car gets hit by the RPG tho. lol

The car getting hit, and the flip were fine too. The landing was real rough looking though. Like they forgot to color match the car with the rest of the scene.

 

[anaron]

lol mte

 

[HeySeuss]

Yeah I didn't think that cg was bad at all on the skull transformation. But then I was expecting typical bad SHIELD CGI and was pleasantly surprised.

 

[StarCreator]

The car getting hit looked good, but it broke suspension of disbelief for me. The skull transformation is great though; I don't see the reason for the complaints at all.
