Raja March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 SWORD is basically the. extraterrestrial fighting division of SHIELD. HAMMER comes from Iron Man II. The contractor who armed War Machine and built the drones which Stark destroyed in a dispute over his inventions and rights. In some story lines when Stark got out of armaments Hammer took over, including a disbanded SHIELD. With Spider Man now part of the MCU OSCORP of Green Goblin and others fame becomes another player in the high tech contractor fighting for market share Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-939604

Chicago Redshirt March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 (edited) Can someone fill me in on how SWORD or HAMMER fit into the phase two/three MCU verse? After the schism revealed on "One of Us," a few posters in the ep thread mentioned HAMMER and SWORD- are these agencies that come up when everyone gets all nervous about super/ gifted people and decides they all need to register and remove masks? SWORD stands for something like Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department, and as its name implies, it is meant to monitor and defeat alien threats. As far as I can recall, it hasn't been used all that much. Where it originated was from Joss Whedon's run on X-Men. So it's possible that they will try to import the concept here in AoS and ultimately divvy up responsibilities between Coulson's SHIELD and "real SHIELD" that way. HAMMER in the comics was created after SHIELD failed to deal with a major threat. One of the oldest alien races in the Marvel Comics universe are the Skrulls, who are green-skinned, pointy-eared beings that can shapeshift (and happen to be mortal enemies with the Kree, who we have seen in AoS). In the Secret Invasion miniseries, the Skrulls managed to kidnap numerous superheroes and others (including Mockingbird) while sending shapeshifters to take their place and to lay the groundwork over the course of months for the titular invasion. Tony Stark was one of the primary targets of the invasion, not just because of being Iron Man, but also because at the time, he was the head of SHIELD. Anyway, Stark gets hypnotized and his tech gets subverted. Norman Osborn (who you might know from the Spider-Man comics/movies as the Green Goblin, a crazy-ass but brilliant inventor) was one of the key figures in thwarting the invasion and was able to use Skrull-proof technology. Because of SHIELD's failure and Osborn's success, he was appointed to head HAMMER, which basically was a harsher version of SHIELD. He also came up with his own version of the Avengers, rebranding various villains into already existing superheroes, and made himself into Iron Patriot (unlike in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Rhodey was the first Iron Patriot.) There's no connection, as far as I know, between the character of Justin Hammer (as seen in the comics and Iron Man II) and the organization HAMMER.

Chicago Redshirt April 2, 2015 Share April 2, 2015 Is there an order to all the movies that I should be watching? I've seen Avengers 1, and all 3 of the Iron Man movies, but I haven't seen any of the Hulk or Thor or Captain America films, and I'm not a comic book reader (though I would probably enjoy it), so sometimes I feel pretty lost in some of these conversations about the information from the films or in how this show does (or doesn't) tie in to the films.I think someone answered this question for me once before but I forgot to bookmark it (stupid me) so I have no idea where to find that information. Could someone please tell me, if I were to sit down and watch all the films, what order would you suggest they go in, so that they make sense to me? I mean, do you have to watch Thor 1, and then Captain America 1, and then Avengers 1, and then Thor 2 and Captain America 2 (at this point I don't even know which ones have multiple films and how many, so I really need help here). I've pretty much been in a bubble, film-wise, for the past 4 years -- I went back to school and was finishing a new career degree and tied to homework homework homework and that's about it, so I haven't really seen many films in the past few years except the final Harry Potter, the new Star Trek films, and I don't even know what else. Not much, sadly. I've been playing catch-up these past 6 months or so, LOL, trying to see what all I missed. So if anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it (and will definitely bookmark the answer)! Thanks! I took this from the thread about "One Door Closes." To sum up, the MCU is an acronym for "the Marvel Cinematic Universe," which is sort of a revolutionary concept. Prior to it, each comic book movie or franchise was basically a universe to itself. Even though Superman and Batman are both DC characters, in the movies there was no sense that Superman existed in the Batman movies or vice versa. Around 2005, Marvel decided to change that by putting the characters that it still controlled in one universe. (Marvel had sold the rights of some of its most famous characters, including the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, to other studios). The idea would be that it would introduce several of its heroes in their own individual movies and then bring them together in a team movie: the Avengers. So the following movies have been part of the MCU, and they take place in roughly the order of their release. I'm inserting where Agents of SHIELD takes place in the timeline as well: Iron Man I The Incredible Hulk (2008) (There is another Incredible Hulk movie that is not part of this continuity) Iron Man II Thor Captain America: The First Avenger (technically, the bulk of the movie happens in the 40s, so well before Iron Man I. But the end takes place here) The Avengers Iron Man 3 Agents of SHIELD begins Thor: The Dark World. Captain America: The Winter Soldier Agents of SHIELD Season 1 continues with "Turn, Turn, Turn" Guardians of the Galaxy Agents of SHIELD Season 2 (so far) Avengers 2: Age of Ultron (due out in May) If you want to watch all the movies and time permits, go for it. They are all at least somewhat entertaining IMO. Some movie theaters are actually going to have marathons of all the movies just before Avengers 2: Age of Ultron gets released. However, most of them don't have much to do with the show. Basically, the ones that are most important for following the show are the Avengers and Captain America: the Winter Soldier. In The Avengers, we see how Nick Fury, director of SHIELD, pulled together a bunch of heroes and got them to fend off an alien invasion. We also see that SHIELD has a devious side, and we see Agent Coulson get killed in action. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we see how SHIELD had lost its way, got corrupted from within, and have Hydra infiltrate its ranks. It's also an awesome movie. Seeing some Thor might give you additional appreciation for Agent Coulson as to how he was pre-resurrection, pre-Skye. In terms of pure entertainment value, I would most strongly recommend Cap 2, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. If you have any questions about the MCU, feel free to bring them up here! 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-993015

And most of the movies are playing every weekend on free TV now along with the Fast & Furious franchise, pick a weekend night and two of the movies may be on. If I were going to re-watch the entire run of Agents I would add in Ironman III. As we entered AoS "enhanced humans" were mostly technology based, failed attempts at recreating the Captain America super soldier serum. From Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk and Mike Peterson into Deathlok before the Inhumans focus we were seeing Centipede, AIM from Ironman as the main providers of enhanced threats that we needed a SHIELD to protect us from. What will be interesting is how the Netflix series will tie in since they will not be as accessible as free TV or global spanning like the movies but you will be asked to add a subscription if you want to join in.

Iron Man III is my least favorite MCU movie, but not because of the Mandarin issue. My problem with it was the film doesn't make much sense to me. Why taunt the Mandarin when you have no defensive systems ready? With the fairly ample warning that the helicopters were coming, why didn't Tony get more defensive stuff online? Even given that he has to flee, why not use his billions or his connections to do a better job recovering from the attack? And above all, with access to basically 30+ AI-controlled Iron Man suits, why didn't Tony or Jarvis have the suits just strafe the hell out of the Extremis guys instead of coming low enough where the Extremis guys got licks in? On Daredevil, Claire brings up her ex-boyfriend Mike who had his share of secrets. Anyone else suspect it was Mike Peterson? I didn't think of that, but I don't think it's a good fit. Mike had been married presumably for about the time period of Ace's life. So let's say 9 years. It doesn't seem like there would have been time for Mike to have dated Claire post-marriage breakup, or prior to Ace. Also, Claire's in New York, and I believe Mike was in San Francisco at the beginning of SHIELD. I didn't see much cross-over between Daredevil and SHIELD, other than Daredevil's dad fought Carl "Crusher" Creel and beat him instead of taking a dive. We saw Creel at the beginning of this season in his Absorbing Man glory. Daredevil had at least some overlap with SHIELD in the comics because he spent a fair amount of time dating Black Widow, who of course is a spy..

In general, the Iron Man movies are character driven rather than plot driven. I was able to overlook the myriad plot holes in IM3 because the movie was about Tony coping with the trauma of the Battle of New York. Taunting the Mandarin was stupid, but it made sense because Tony's behavior up until then (not sleeping, cutting himself off from Pepper, burying himself in work developing new suits, etc.) indicated that there was something seriously wrong with him emotionally. Recklessly taunting the Mandarin was pretty much an unconscious suicide attempt. I could empathize with what he was going through, so I could forgive the silly contrivances of the plot. IM2 on the other hand... ugh. Hated it. The only thing I can remember is Commander Gonzales calling her the Icarus. It isn't Phoenix raising from the ashes but does that mean she can fly?

ottoDbusdriver April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Will Skye find out about Ultron? She's a hacker so this is right up her alley. Somehow I doubt Ultron uses Instagram or Facebook, so Skye won't even know of Ultron's existence. </snark> 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-1058831
KirkB April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Skye's kind of busy in Afterlife now, where they may not have any internet at all, so it's likely Ultron and the Avengers will trash a portion of the world without her even knowing about it. Considering how long after the movie it took the show to reflect the literal fallout from Thor 2, let alone Winter Soldier, the events of AoU will probably be felt in or around the season finale.

teenj12 April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I too wonder how the Inhumans will react to the events of the Avengers' battle against Ultron. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-1062355
Raja April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 The reoccurring character Madame Masque/Agent 33. In the comics she is the daughter of a leader in Marvel's version of the Mafia. Although she is linked to Tony Stark in the books the organized crime link and attempted to rediscover herself makes a perfect link up to Hell's Kitchen and the Kingpin of Daredevil Well it seems as the MCU Kara is Mexican so there goes my easy link to Daredevils Hell's Kitchen easy link. Not to say she couldn't have cartel linkage and went to SHIELD instead of conventional law enforcement sort of like Black Widow.

Iceman91 April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 a little question, if we want to talk about Age of Ultron and how it may relate to AoS do we use this thread with spoiler tags or the spoiler thread ?

Cranberry April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Ultron stuff doesn't belong in the AoS spoiler thread; that's just for AoS spoilers. You can talk about how the film relates to the show here without spoiler tags anytime after it opens in the US (so, fair warning to anyone who regularly reads this thread: starting May 1, there may be detailed movie talk). Discussion of the movie in general would of course go in its thread in the Movies forum. That should work, I think! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-1065117
VCRTracking April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 I hope that the AOS episode that airs right after the Age of Ultron's US premiere will take place during the movie. I loved that about the "Winter Soldier" tie in. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-1066421
Kromm April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 It sounds like Whedon himself isn't ducking talking about this, so I think it's fair to post this now (since he's on record saying this now) SHIELD agent Phil Coulson had to stay dead for Avengers 2, says Joss Whedon 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23747-agents-of-shield-and-the-mcu/#findComment-1067938
