This is stuff that should have happened last fall, 3 or 4 episodes in, not at the end of the first season. I agree it's really really close to being too late, and it's still possible for them to make the show just suck.This. So much this. Honestly, I don't want Agents of Shields to be Heroes. I do want it to be Stormwatch: Team Achilles (a team of "normals" tasked with handling rogue supers, both villain and hero, but the team eventually expanded to include supers - the "not-batshit-vigilante-crazy" ones.) Thousands. Recent interview I read said they were up to 8000 and counting in the comics. Assume 2000 on the X-Men side, that's still 6000 characters. Admittedly most of them are less famous than Bob, Agent of Hydra, but ce la vie.Hmm. Not being a regular Avengers reader, I hadn't associated Agent Triplett and the superhero Triathalon. So in comicland, Delroy Garrett Jr is Triathalon; in tvland John Garrett is Antoine Triplett's partner/mentor (and in comicland he's some kind of cyborg?)  Triplett as the new Wade makes sense.</blockquote>
