It has been over a month since I last posted (when I was freaking out over the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finale) and I am finally posting a reaction of sorts to the finale. And, no, it didn't take over a month to get around to watching the finale, it just took over a month for me to get around to posting a reaction post to the finale.
WARNING: Spoilers Ahead
Ok, so it turns out that I was completely wrong about the finale. Oh well. I was absolutely convinced that Fitz would die in the finale. I started watching it in a state of just 'oh my gosh Fitz is going to die and I am going to cry and why is this happening'. Now, I was fine and my family was leaving me alone for the most part, until my little brother came upstairs as I'm watching the show and asks me if I found out who died yet. I said no I hadn't, and asked him if he wanted me to tell him who it was when I found out. He said no, and then told me that Fitz didn't die, and he knew that because he and my other brother had googled it or something.
As you can imagine, I was not too pleased with this slight spoiler, and I kind of yelled at him. Ok, chewed him out. My mom didn't appreciate that, so she made me stop watching for around forty-five minutes (right in the middle of the finale) to calm down a little bit. So that is all the drama that happened while I watched the finale.
I got back into the finale, and was on the edge of my seat as I watched, hoping that I wasn't too attached to the character destined to die. For a brief time I actually thought that my brothers had been lying to me, because Fitz was wearing the jacket and had the necklace. But then Daisy got the necklace, and everyone was wearing the jacket with the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem on it. It could literally be any of them. Why are you doing this to us?
Anyways, there's lots of fighting, lots of confusion and misleading stunts with the necklace, and then Lincoln goes to space with H.I.V.E. What. Ok, so I was never really a big fan of Lincoln, I mean I didn't hate him as much as I hate Laurel Lance from Arrow, but I've still never been to fond of him as a character. So while I was slightly saddened by his death, I have to say that I actually didn't care that much and was relieved that it wasn't someone I cared more about. So yeah, what was supposed to be a heart-wrenching, sorrowful moment in the show, was for me just a moment of 'Oh. Well this is kind of sad, but I'm just happy it wasn't Fitz! Yay! Fitzsimmons!' Am I a bad person?
Some other things about the finale, six months later Coulson isn't director and is hunting an emo Daisy? What? Like how did that happen? I can't really think of who the director might be, other than Fury (but he'd have to return from the dead), Stark (Although then S.H.I.E.L.D. would have to reveal that they're still there), or maybe Maria Hill? I mean, we've met other people in the MCU that have been director at some point in comics (such as Daisy or Sharon Carter) but I really don't know who they're going to use.
Fitzsimmons fangirl moment: when Dr. Radcliffe is talking to his computer and asks it to invite Fitz over, she says no, that Fitz has a surprise planned for Jemma. What kind of surprise? Proposal? Please let it be a proposal! Fitzsimmons wedding! Yes!
Also, Dr. Radcliffe is making LMDs. Why would you do that? Those things kill! Also, didn't this universe learn their lesson about building robots with AI capabilities in Age of Ultron? I guess not...
Side note: Coulson quoting Princess Leia was arguably the best part of the finale.
Alright, well I hope you all have an okay time waiting for the next season! I know I won't!
