![]() ![]() Fitz-Simmons have dozens of scientists under their command, including one Agent Nathan B. May now has her own elite squad including Agent Piper ( who had a few good lines last season). There’s a lot of new faces like Agent Davis, who seems to be a SHEILD gofer assigned to Coulson’s group (and whose wife might be pregnant). While Mack still wishes he could work on Coulson’s car Lola, and still calls people nicknames like “Turbo,” other things have changed a lot. Also, the silly law that forces superheroes to register is still a thing, as the Sokovia Accords are in full effect. This seems rather reminiscent of the chess games between Xavier and Magneto, and given that we see a similar game between Coulson and May later, one wonders if this won’t be an ongoing motif. Director Coulson is now Agent Coulson, apparently outranked by Mack, but the two are still friends and often bet over games of backgammon. Nice touch.īack at SHIELD’s Playground base, we see the new normal. Doesn’t seem that significant, but it was spotlighted on the screen for a second.Īlso, note that the SHIELD logo at the shows start has a subtle roaring engine sound. There have been dozens of Ghost Riders, by the way, including a Burt Reynolds Ghost Rider and a Chuck Norris Ghost Rider. This is an actual, in continuity Marvel comic. This Ghost Rider is Robbie Reyes, and he totally kills people. The 90’s Ghost Rider didn’t kill people if at all possible, as both human and Ghost Rider were generally good beings that would rather someone pay for their crimes (usually with a Penance Stare, that would cause someone to experience their victim’s pain over and over) then kill them. The classic Ghost Rider (though not the “ original” as he’s often called) is Johnny Blaze, and he spent years fighting with a demon inside him, trying to force it not to kill people. ![]() This may seem a little harsh, but some context is necessary. Ghost Rider appears! Then he straight up murders some dudes. This is actually taken, shot for shot, from All-New Ghost Rider #2, so there ya go – fan service! (Admittedly, for a series few people bought, but still.) I’m sure he’s okay… yeah… ![]() When “he” shows up in his black Hell Charger, the gang members fire a rocket at him, which succeeds in flipping the car, but it flames-on and takes them out. That’s right, Daisy’s dad! (Too much to hope that he shows up this season?) As seen on TV! Oh, and they were working for Calvin Zabo, aka Mr. Interestingly, when the car-driving Ghost Rider first appeared, he was fighting a bunch of unidentified mercs that sported Watchdog-like symbols. She is chasing down Aryan Brotherhood gang members who – like some East Coast mafia members – are inexplicably working for the Watchdogs, the anti-superpowers terrorist group that seemed like pushovers last season. No one thinks its odd that heavily armed guys in non-US military outfits is driving tanks around a major city? In the current comics, she had a falling out with Coulson and quit SHIELD. This is in keeping with Quake’s earliest appearances, as she was originally Nick Fury Sr.’s secret weapon, then joined his underground militia, and interestingly became the youngest ever SHIELD director before becoming a traditional SHIELD agent in Coulson’s unit. Strange!), we find Daisy “Don’t Call Me Skye” Johnson has fully embraced the title of “ Quake,” a Robin Hood-like terrorist fighting crimes the government won’t. Picking up after Civil War (but before Dr. ![]() Comic Connections for “The Ghost” And yes, they’ve now called her “Skye” in the comics. Now the superhero Civil War has brought SHIELD back into the mainstream, and Daisy is off hunting ghosts on her own. The Story Thus Far: After the disastrous Winter Soldier incident, SHIELD was forced to cut all government ties and go underground, unfortunately, that was just when hundreds of Inhumans began to awaken with powers around the world! SHIELD handled it best they could, but several agents died, and their star player, Daisy Johnson, quit. That’s par for the course for Marvel, but does that mean Marvel can step up it’s TV game to match the Arrowverse over at CW? It’s headed in the right direction! Who know it took the small screen to bring the blood of vengeance?ĭespite being a very different Ghost Rider than most fans will be familiar with, Marvel brought a very true-to-the-comics Ghost Rider to TV. SHIELD’s back and so is the most brutal version of Ghost Rider ever. ![]()
