True, but I also realize that from his perspective: he wrote a great death for a beloved character and then some executives decided to bring back the character for a TV show. Arguably this falls within the confines of the "death of the author" paradigm but that doesn't mean the author, in this case Whedon, has to be happy about it.
I actually loved the twist with Coulson coming back and how they went about finding out how he did in AoS. I'm at the point where I'm equally in love with the show as I am with the films.
Is Agents of Shield any good actually? I started watching it when it first came out, but I struggled with just being interested in it. I found the first few episodes I watched immensely boring, so does it pick up after that? But I will say I like the main actor, just cos he did a great job in Until Dawn.
For about the first half of season 1 each episode has its own plot, but from then on it becomes one ongoing story. The first episodes are kinda needed otherwise you might miss some important things.
I'd say watch it. Still not the best show but it does pick up. Especially when they start dealing with the fallout of the winter soldier universe twist
the first 2/3 of season one are ok, nothing spectacular, when it reaches (in timeline) to the Winter Solder, it gets better. Season 2 is great from start to finish (in my opinion) haven't seen season 3 yet as Channel 4 in the UK are being weird so have to wait hopefully til beginning of next year.
Because then Whedon wouldn't be able to satisfy his self-imposed "woman kills abusive man" quota, and the only way to make such a thing relevant was to make her a really stupid villain.
Seriously. Even assuming she could somehow embed the razors deeply enough, she should have bled out. They should have been yanked out the second they caught on anything. SHIELD would have removed them, not put metal caps on them. Utterly moronic.
Well, that would imply that her skin, and bones are stronger than Steel, or whatever metal those are made out of.
For every action, there is an equal, and opposite, reaction. Unless the skin under her nails is stronger than steel, they will not bend under that pressure. They'll either rip her nails/fingers apart, or they'll slide straight under the finger nails.
I don't know that character so i can't say for certain, but i'm guessing she's a continuation of the thing that marvel does, with Wolverine and X-23. ie, their entire skeleton is replaced with one made out of adamantium (a fictional metal stronger than diamond) and the claws are simply part of her finger bones
