I think my subconscious really wants this show to take the Mary Sue trope and burn it to the ground
My conscious wants this!
(my subconscious just wants everyone to be happy and stop fighting)
(my subconscious is a bad writer)
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'd be perfectly to see Agent May demonstrating her awesome fighting skills.
It occurred to me ... brainwashing Ward ... is there really that much to wash?

It's a point in his favor when evil masterminds are looking for likely targets. "What about Ward? Good ROI, there, we wouldn't have to expend too many resources to brainwash him. Heck, just a brain rinse should do it."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I still have a funny feeling (cue Anya singing) "It could be a bunnies!" Or just a big, fat fake out. Which will probably be the end of me and AoS.
I have not loved it as much as I wanted to up until now. If something firey and permanent does not happen to Ward...well, I'll be in a huff, at the very least.

Jessica,
your thought has me laughing and laughing and laughing.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The look on Ward's face reminded me of the reveal in Babylon 5 that Garibaldi had been unwittingly working for the Psycorps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is minor, but I wish people accepted the whole Hydra thing just one step more slowly. Like, if someone told me that half of the NSA was Nazis, I would have to say, "Wait, like actual Hitler-type Nazis??" first.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Like, if someone told me that half of the NSA was Nazis, I would have to say, "Wait, like actual Hitler-type Nazis??" first.
Ha, that is a really good point. I think the tie-in with the movie meant they more or less had to deal with that as fast as possible and move onto the post-HYDRA part of the story, but yeah.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I also think it's an aspect of the MCU that they didn't really think about. In the comics HYDRA is the ever-present enemy of SHIELD and always infiltrating things. In the MCU, they disappeared for 70 years and were thought gone. Their re-appearance should be met with a measure of skepticism their comic counterparts would not.
