Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. discussion (spoilers)

I told my buddy Absorbing Man was coming and he got really disappointed when I had to tell him that Nick Nolte was not reprising his role. Apparently people think that's canon for some reason.

No way! That's awesome! Speaking of Hulk characters, I'd really like to see The Leader come back. I feel like AOS is a good place to do it.

Agreed. AoS is probably the most likely avenue of seeing the Leader show up. Especially since it was teased so heavily at the end of IH. It's been 6 years, time to address that plot thread, methinks.

He was in SHIELD custody as of Fury's Big Week but since SHIELD collapsed and since The Fridge was released into the world it's possible that he's on the loose. I'd prefer him to be the next bad guy in a Hulk film but with Tim Blake Nelson playing Mole Man in The Fantastic Four that might not happen.

I pointed out that Adrian Pasdar was not in Hulk and it blew his mind.

Yeah, considering SHIELD's complete collapse, I think it's likely he's "in the wind".

I'd love to see Nelson reprise the role, assuming Fox didn't make him sign some weird exclusivity contract (which is unlikely). But I'd even be ok with them recasting the role, since he's obviously going to look noticeably different with the giant head, plus I'm not sure Nelson could bring the right commanding performance, the superiority complex the character would need. Then again, he may, I haven't seen him in anything else so can't say for sure.

He's a fantastic actor. Watch the Coen brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It has Tim Blake Nelson, George Clooney, and John Turturro as a chain gang who escaped and are trying to get home during the Great Depression but a sheriff (played by Daniel von Bargen) is hunting them down. John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning are also in it.

Oh I saw that years ago. I'm not saying Nelson isn't a great actor, it's just I've never seen him in a role where he plays the guy in charge, the mastermind, the one calling the shots. I'm not saying he's not capable, I just haven't seen evidence of it yet. Like I said, I'd be fine either way, bringing him back or recasting the part. I'd just like to see that lingering plot thread addressed onscreen, whether in a future film or on AoS.

That film was a loose adaptation of Homer's Odyssey.

Too soon?

Here's a look at Lucy Flawless on the show

I gotta say, I'm a little surprised at how this look at Lucy Lawless looks like Lucy Lawless :p

They need to stop having Coulson monologuing. It's meant to be rousing, but it's just corny.

I disagree. That gave me chills. I'm so freaking excited for this. This season look so much cooler than last. Really curious how they tie this into Age of Ultron.

Not sure on the specifics on how it'll tie into AoU, but we know Season 2 will be about Coulson's team essentially putting SHIELD back together, so I imagine towards season's end they'll have made considerable headway on that front, possibly leading to SHIELD having some minor presence in the film. I'm thinking more of a last second appearance to help the Avengers take on Ultron and his army.

I could see them popping up in a post-credits scene. The Avengers finding out Coulson is alive. Could be a really fantastic scene.

If the Zodiac plot line is brought up in any future Marvel movies it'll make that comic more significant; currently that isn't the case. But beyond that comic and the Agent Carter One-Shot (which occurs after Agent Carter season 1, meaning it probably won't even be touched on there), nary a word about it yet. Maybe Cap 3 will address it, we'll see.

I could see it popping up in Agent Carter season two or Agents of SHIELD.
 
I'm really close to just deleting the last 4 episodes on my DVR. I doubt I'll ever watch them.
