Agents of SHIELD Season five Episode 20
The Infinity War comes to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (sort of) as Graviton finds that with great power comes keen madness
Okay, in that location'due south going to be some Avengers: Infinity War spoilage in this Agents of SHIELD recap so be warned. And for frak's sake, what are you waiting for? See the darn pic, information technology's really skillful.
Anywho, we now know where on the timeline the current episodes of Curiosity's Agents of SHIELD takes place. Co-ordinate to Qovas, Thanos and his invasion is taking place concurrently with the events on Agents of SHIELD . Of course, Coulson and his crew are removed from these events because half of SHIELD is hole-and-corner in the Lighthouse while the other half are in outer space, but the happenings of Infinity War do accept an bear on on the SHIELD proceedings.
Nosotros learn this because of Glenn Talbot. Terminal week the no longer good full general became the classic Marvel villain Graviton. This week, Talbot wants a word with the Confederacy of aliens that have formed an alliance with General Unhurt and HYDRA. Coulson is forth for the ride and witnesses Talbot's new powers.
Agents of SHIELD turns the grue up to eleven as Graviton makes information technology a habit of folding his enemies, both man and aliens, into neat little packages. Talbot does then to one of the quango members that leads the Confederacy and takes the alien'south place. In a brilliant chip of circular plotting, Talbot becomes chummy with a Kree member of the council and if yous guessed that this Kree was none other than the father of Kassius, go to the caput of the alien cadre.
Information technology's been pretty unclear whom the big bad of this season of Agents of SHIELD was going to be. For a while, it looked like it was future Kassius. Afterward 'ol blue was dispatched, it looked like young Ruby Hale would have the dishonor. When Yo-Yo took out Carmine, it looked like Mama General Hale would be the vengeance driven arch villain, but the real villain was hidden in plain sight all along. Talbot.
Now, as Graviton, Talbot is the most powerful threat SHIELD has ever faced. And as we all know, Earth needs power because of a big purple Titan named Thanos. When Talbot learns of Thanos, he instantly looks for a power up. He wants to bond with all the remaining Gravitonium on Earth, a prospect which is pretty dire when one considers the future we saw in the outset function of the flavour.
So one wonders how things play out. Did Thanos wipe out half the planet and and then Globe was croaky in half by the Destroyer of Worlds? That'due south so bleak even Zack Snyder would glimmer! Whatsoever the instance, Talbot is powerful and power hungry and he wants to show himself against Thanos. No, Thanos doesn't brand an actual appearance in this week's episode, but his presence is palpable and that's how I dig my MCU synergy.
So I mentioned General Unhurt earlier. Well, she's dead, folded into a wee little geometric shape by Talbot. By Odin's bristling beard, there's been a shit ton of violent death in the MCU these past few weeks. At present, Talbot is leading the Confederacy, only from what we know about Kassius, who else thinks that the Machiavellian Kree is playing Graviton?
And it's not like SHIELD is functioning as a tightly knit squad. Mack is pissed at Yo-Yo for her killing of Ruby-red, everyone except May is pissed at Daisy for going off on a side mission to find a cure for Coulson while, similar, 1400 alien species invade the planet. Daisy is pissed at SHIELD for not doing enough to save Coulson and forces Simmons to perform experiments on Daisy's Inhuman mother's corpse to excerpt the Dna that may save Coulson. All this while good 'ol Deke is mooning over Daisy. Hey, with Peter Quill turned to ashes, does that make Deke the dopiest but most lovable space rogue in the MCU? Lemons, ya'll, lemons.
SHIELD splits up with Daisy, Deke, and May going into infinite to face downward Graviton while Fitz, Simmons, Mack, and Yo-Yo stay planet side with Simmons hopefully trying to detect Coulson'south cure. Or maybe not hopefully because nosotros already know that Coulson'southward cure brings almost the stop of the world. Damn man, even if Coulson does survive and SHIELD somehow saves the world, half of them will even so plow to Thanos dust. The MCU has gotten complex lately, huh?
With all this going on, Fitz nonetheless remains the most fascinating graphic symbol on the series. Mack confronts Fitz about Fitz'southward recent shades of grey actions and the ii have a long debate about morality and heroism. Fitz takes the darkly pragmatic side of sacrificing the few to save the many (and there are some uncomfortable parallels with Thanos there) while Mack takes the altruistic stance that a hero does everything he tin can to salvage everyone. That's an ironic argument when half the planet turns to cinders.
But SHIELD tries to play heroes with very lilliputian results. Hale is dead and Daisy'due south mighty Quake powers take very little effect on Talbot. Thanos may be the most powerful being on the planet, only Glenn Talbot is interested in dethroning the Titan, and that tin can pb to the end of everything. Truly, this week'south Marvel'south Agents of SHIELD is the perfect dessert after the Infinity State of war main grade. Man, we're really just going to have to picket Simmons plough to ash in Fitz'south arms, aren't nosotros?
