Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Is it just me, or does the hacker girl they recruited seem an awful lot like eliza dushku?

We know Joss likes Eliza (Faith from Buffy, and whatsher name from Dollhouse), and Joss likes re-using his actors (Gunn from Angel was the Freak of the Week for this episode).

Obviously, it wasn't Eliza. But it seems as if he likes that look.

I was hoping they would just use the Skrull.

I thought that was a Skrull at the very very end of the Avengers movie. And it clearly wasn't the main dudes who attacked Earth under Loki's command.


If I recall, the Skrulls where the shape shifters. So we can expect a Skrull invasion by replacement at some point in the series.

Only in the "US TV type of casting" kind of way. The two don't really look alike.

It hurts me physically that you thought that was a skrull. That line about "courting death" that evoked an inhuman grin from Thanos was so deliciously perfect. Marvel films already had a superior commitment to portraying superheroes in a large-than-life context rather than the more subdued approach of the likes of Batman, X-Men ("would you prefer yellow spandex?"), and Fantastic Four (Galactus as some hazy cloud), but Thanos is an out-and-out full-blown cosmic menace.

Admittedly, Rocket Raccoon may be taking it too far...

Nope, you were not alone. ...

The interpretation there's pretty obvious.

Thought so. So why are people discussing the wimping out of him being killed?

I guess this should kill you then.

Who the heck is Thanos?

Not everybody followed Avengers comics, to know who every villain in the marvel universe is.

And the guy really does look like a purple Skrull.





It's the chin.

I was just yanking felon's chain.

I followed the X-titles when I read comics. So I don't know everything about everybody else in Marvel (though i picked up a lot of trivia through osmosis to do well on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series' trivia mini-games).

Just FYI, the Skrulls are associated with the Fantastic Four and therefore the movie rights to them are currently in the hands of 20th Century Fox (along with the FF). This is why they used the Chitauri in The Avengers film, and why we probably won't see the Skrulls in any Avengers film or TV show anytime soon.
