Review of Agents of Shield Season 5 Episode 1
Hello, and welcome to a make-new season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.East.L.D.! I am overjoyed to be serving every bit your reviewer this flavour. And permit me tell you, if it follows in the train of Agents of S.H.I.E.50.D. Season 5 Episode 1 and Agents of S.H.I.Eastward.L.D. Season 5 Episode ii, we'll have quite the time.
If you were left with more than questions than answers subsequently watching the two-hour opener, I promise information technology means that yous're eager for the next installment!
Fifty-fifty the showtime few minutes left us with a few skillful headscratchers that will hopefully be answered at some point downwardly the road. Like, what was the deal with the creepy dude who took off his skin? (Yuck, past the way.)
The revelation that the squad had been transported to infinite wasn't exactly surprising. That much had been revealed at the end of the previous season finale.
Simmons: Okay. Alright. Any idea which *part* of infinite nosotros're in?
Coulson: Uh… outer?
What was a surprise, withal, was the tiny fiddling detail that the mysterious obelisk hadn't moved them through space, like the black on that sucked up Simmons. This one moved them through fourth dimension.
The visual effects were fairly impressive, betwixt the ruins of the World and even the alien "roaches" running around.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, the 1-liners were flying fast and furious throughout the episode. Take this little exchange:
Simmons: Magic is just science we don't empathize withal!
Mack: Oh, please! Nosotros just got zapped through space past Stonehenge, and we're trying to dominion out the involvement of a flame-headed demon from East LA! Science, my ass!
Terminate by the Agents of Due south.H.I.E.L.D. quotes page to relish some of the zingers, considering there were some actually neat ones throughout.
The showtime hr mostly focused on the team's immediate survival (complete with straight shout-outs to Alien). The second truly introduced them to the current state of humanity, and it was not pretty.
Less than a hundred years or then removed from the present twenty-four hour period, and these sorry remnants of the homo race truly shocked Team Coulson.
Information technology was fascinating to see their reactions as they came to really sympathize the utterly different morality this station operated under. I especially enjoyed the team's applied behavior as the addressed the situation.
Zeke's hush-hush business organization of using Framework engineering to create an illusion of Earth-That-Was would be infinitely preferable to the downtrodden humans than their real lives.
This, of course, presented an rather interesting opportunity to compare and contrast with the squad's recent Framework experiences in the previous flavour. Remember, no time has passed since then, as far equally they're concerned!
One might also call back the Mirror of Erised in the Harry Potter stories: the mirror shows the viewer what they desire, just the images are simply images, not reality -- and too a potential trap for the unwary.
Zeke'south version of the Framework is a little flake unlike from last season's original iteration, however. Zeke made a point of excavation up every scrap of data he could, so it'due south possible that this could become a medium by which Fitz, still in the past, could communicate with the future.
The declaration that Daisy was responsible for the end of Earth must be taken with a grain of salt. There are a few ways this could go, each of them with intriguing storytelling potential.
Outset: his information is accurate, and Daisy did destroy World. What were the circumstances that could cause this to happen?
Second: his information is flawed, and Daisy was not responsible. Why does he call up she is, and what really happened?
Third: He'southward lying about Daisy destroying Earth for as-yet-unrevealed reasons.
Then there was the rather creepy view of things from the Kree side. Kasius, the human in charge, embraced a distinct sort of blue-and-orange morality that is actually consistent with the Kree we've met previously.
Ronan the Accuser, the fanatical villain from wonderful Guardians of the Galaxy film, wanted to cleanse the impure from the face up of the galaxy.
Fifty-fifty the "nice" Kree, Vin-Tak, from Agents of S.H.I.East.50.D. Season ii Episode 12, wanted to immediately kill Daisy when he discovered she was Inhuman.
Kasius and his fellow Kree here took that conventionalities in Kree superiority to a whole new level of creepy, and information technology worked wonderfully. Information technology makes them run into as truly alien, particularly coupled with the dystopian setting.
While the humans lived in squalor, the Kree lived in splendor. Only their human servants were but every bit much slaves every bit their less-well-bathed fellows, every bit Simmons discovered.
I leave you with some more of the unanswered questions:
- Why wasn't Fitz on the "list"?
- Who was the peel-removing creep in the outset, why did he ship the team to the future, and where did the time monolith come from?
- If Daisy is in the future, how tin she destroy the planet in the past? (Wibbly-wobbley, timey-wimey!)
- What happened afterwards Squad Coulson was abducted in the by? Did the authorities think they had fled?
What unanswered questions practice you take, fellow fans? Let us know that, and your thoughts on the flavour opener, in the comments department below!
Meanwhile, y'all tin watch Agents of Southward.H.I.E.L.D. online; be sure to melody in as the series moves to its new regular time slot on Friday, December 8, 2017 at 9/8c with Agents of S.H.I.Eastward.L.D. Flavor 5 Episode iii, "A Life Spent."
