This was the most disappointing aspect to me. Season 5 felt like the budget cuts and episode length had them needing to resort to lots of reusing sets and developing a storyline that allowed them to be ambitious, yet conservative and even then there felt like some padding that could have been avoided with less episodes.
I'd assume anyone not evacuated was executed.
What I got from it is that the sword doesn't kill humans. It only works on the Shrike and whatever Izel and Coulson are (a Chitauri), because didn't they use it on YoYo too and she was mostly fine? Except for the fact that the Shrike messed her up? Or did I miss something?
Darkhold wasn't a Pod though. Ghost Rider was, with Eil Morrow and Lucy being the baddies, but the Darkhold wasn't the pod. The Darkhold was the villain of the entire series with everyone forwarding its plan.
Oops, I forgot how it was broken down, but that's what I was referring to. Ghost Rider was cool, but a lot of the other stuff was weak in that pod, such as the Darkhold and the followers. It was also the most disconnected from the other 2 pods tonally, whereas the LMD arc tied cleanly into the Framework/Agents of HYDRA stuff of the final pod.
Ghost Rider is the best example of a show jumping the shark and working
The monoliths weren't really a random pull though. Like, I wanted to know where they came from. They were these random stone plot devices that just did shit and no one knew why. And then there was a third one.
Didn't Deke go with them? I thought he asked Jemma where Fitz was after they picked Daisy and co. up.
They could continue to squeeze many more seasons. The stories have been quite different. That's the benefit of using sci-fi and comics as the base material. The possibilities are endless if the writing is good enough. Even if they stick with source material, there are decades of comics to access.
Fair enough, but I felt like the Chronicon side plot ended up being a deus ex machina for the survival of several characters including May.
