Let's not talk about the guidance and foreshadowing of the first season, let's go directly to the frontal battlefield of the new director Coulson and their opponent hydra in the second season, and get to know Coulson's team. However, I have to put it forward. The identity of an agent is destined to be a barrier between everyone, but whether it is human or inhuman, even the deepest evil of nature will eventually give birth to great love and future.
Immediately after the first season, Ward turned into the second season and buried a line that runs through the entire season (until the third season), and Coulson was ordered in danger. The show spent a lot of energy in the first dozen episodes. The story of the Coulson team and hydra It was only after secretly fighting for alien objects that I finally figured out what was going on (I probably don't want to call it S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, I'll explain later), and the last five episodes are the most exciting. The place, Coulson's team members are quite three-dimensional, I think it's pretty good.
Let's talk about team boss Coulson first. Not to mention that GH serum made him confused, at least at the most critical moment, he has always maintained the most basic qualities and abilities of an excellent team leader, calmly and objectively taking into account the overall situation. But what strikes me most about him being Coulson and not Fury is the reason why Gartler is not a SHIELD representative, he has a fatherly love and a god-like mercy. Maybe it's not right to use it on a cold-blooded spy chief, but it doesn't mean indecision or emotionality. He can distinguish between his family-like love for Skype and the love-hate entanglement between humans and aliens behind Skype's complicated life experience. Facing the escalation of conflicts between aliens and S.H.I.E.L.D. due to personal sentimentality, facing infighting and interest disputes in the team, facing the simultaneous elimination of opponents and implementing secret plans, facing the provocation of Hydra, despite the sacrifice, but at least not call it a failure. He can make up his mind at a critical moment to make the most aggrieved solution (he has repeatedly said that he does not want to let the situation worsen, let the two sides resolve in the safest and most peaceful conditions), unlike anyone else on his team has ever been The most important reason for betrayal, abandonment, escape, and shaken is that he has always adhered to the most basic human moral bottom line. In the face of alien races, in the face of the gh serum experiment, in the face of the Tahiti plan, etc., although it is not always correct, but No matter how bad it is, it will make the result look the best in the end. At least from a certain point of view, his selfless and firm love is the most useful solution.
Agent may did a great job in season 2, at least it kept our director from dying. She, who has always been loyal, also exposed in the last few episodes that the Bahrain Island incident was her weakness after all, at least she did not become the kind of loyal, loyal, and daring all-around bodyguard in the first dozen episodes in the first ten episodes. . Coulson's big love and love for Skype temporarily stabilized her in the second season (the ex-husband is the one she has always been comfortable relying on, after all, she is a hanging psychopsychologist), and it can't be made up. In the last episode, she The amount of negative emotions leaked is the norm for an elite agent. At first, she only recognized Coulson as the boss, and later joined the S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect Coulson, and began to doubt Coulson. Later, she was involved in the struggle because she had always been wary of aliens. It's important to be a special agent to fight, but controlling the demon is more important, and see how she performs in the third season.
Speaking of Ward so late, is it a little sorry for this powerful character? He was cast as the most successful one, and of course he was cast as a terrific psychopathic agent. He was doomed to live in the shadows because of his abused family environment since childhood. Unfortunately, he killed his brother and forced him to admit his mistakes. He wanted to force Barbie into submission and break the so-called knot of Agent 33, all of which did not reflect it. his cowardice. Yes, he's a capable agent, but he's a ghost controlled by a demon. He thought he was in love with Skype, until later he controlled the brainwashed Agent 33 and the delusional Hydra step by step, Barbie recognized himself better than he did - a self-sacrificing, delusional person for the wounds of the past. Vengeful Coward Ward. He has done so much, first betrayal, then become a third party between hydra and shield, and then the third season's performance is nothing more than wanting to make a statement for his own past and for all those who have similar experiences. , he likes others to admit their mistakes and enjoy the feeling of killing a beggar. Did he think of some Hollywood blockbuster filming a mentally ill criminal case? He has been searching for a place where he can calm his mind. There is no way to gain the trust of others, and there is no way to trust others. This is the source of his step-by-step degeneration. Since he does not trust, all the relationships he has established are hypocritical. It's a pity that Ward is too smart to realize this (thanks to Barbie's firm will and hot and indomitable character who refuses to give in, I'm afraid that the one who confessed to the guilt and fell into Ward's trap and died early is Barbie), But he was so stupid, so stupid that he didn't even believe in himself. Die or not? Ward, don't die too early, you're useful, and keep the characters from the last five episodes alive.
Come on, I like Hunter and Barbie the pair of cp agents the most. Not to mention the two talented women, they can both fight, talk, and flirt. However, the characters of the two are quite interesting. Barbie's undercover level in Hydra is also very handsome, and the long-legged nunchaku is really sexy (a wave of nympho), she is the most unpredictable person, Morse, Barbie, and hail. Hydra is an undercover agent, an excellent leader of the Coulson team for a while, plays for S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while, and doesn't want to do it for a while, and Hunter, who likes her, has such a personality, no wonder they have to be together after a lot of trouble. Some people like Ward are really kind or too little, some people are still duplicitous and can't judge correctly, maybe it's always good to be a little weird, at least when you are the most painful, you can humor yourself, Barbie can do it Blocking bullets for Hunter, enduring the pain of ten fingers and hearts, and resolutely not selling out the organization, Hunter said bad things about Barbie a thousand times, but he was the one who surrendered first. Is it a bit of romance? . The other is just because they have been forced to disguise themselves because of their long-term career as a secret agent. Fortunately, this lovely pair of people's brains are independent and willpower after all. mentality to support.
Although Fits and Simmons do not contribute much to the plot in general, sometimes they are often counterproductive, but they are understandable. Excellent technical personnel and scientific researchers, kind childlike innocence and sweet and astringent first love are also pretty good for the first time. The second season adds some girly elements. Maybe some people will regret that Simmons has gradually become suspicious and suspicious of others. Fits has been sticking to it pretty well, but it is quite understandable. Two boys and girls who should enjoy the infinite mystery of science Involved in endless world disputes, people around him betray, die, and leave, while sad, he is inevitably more suspicious and confused.
It's too long, if you want to watch Skype, just read my next post. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with me, my personal opinion, thank you if you can really see it here
