SHIELD: Pilot

grav_ityHere are the thoughts I had before I watched the pilot.
So...yeah. That happened. And it was clever, and I certainly giggled. But it really felt like something was missing. Like. I'm not sure who I was supposed to like? And maybe that was even the point, but that is also totally not why I watch Superhero stuff, so we'll see if it takes.
I did really like the following things:
1. Bear McCreary. Check out his blog, because the way he writes about his music is as cool as the music he writes.
2. Fitz Simmons. OMG, THEY ARE EXCELLENT. I love that they basically share a brain and work in concert and could probably pilot a Jaeger and so on.
3. Maria Hill. Oh, what I would not give for HIMYM to go to its peace, and for Cobie Smulders to end up here permanently.
4. "Tahiti". Because now I'm curious. (Though I am still bitter.)
5. Ming Na. SURPRISE! (you shouldn't be surprised.)
Things I Was Not Clear With:
1. DudeBro. UGH.
2. Basically the entire plot.
3. The part where the car had a name.
4. The part where the car could FLY (even though I know it's a Stark thing, but seriously.)
5. The part where what was wrong with Gunn was a blender of everything that's ever gone wrong in the Marvel movie!verse (seriously: Simmons actually said the word "blender").
So yeah. I'll give it a couple of weeks. But it needs to stop being so squeaky and start meaning something, I think. Also, Coulson wore a grey suit, and I don't know what to do with that.
