Episode Info:
It all began with the death of a brave man at the hands of a mischievous god. When Loki killed Phil Coulson in the first Avengers film it became the spark that united earth’s mightiest heroes, but it also became the catalyst of five seasons of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
Remember back with me now, to the days of “Coulson Lives,” to the days of rumors that swore that Phil Coulson was going to become Ultron, the Vision, Deathlok, or Machine Man, and to the days before Marvel had an impact on TV. Now, here we are five years later, and we are forced to say good-bye to Agent Phil Coulson once again? Or are we?
We entered this week with a very ominous scenario. The first part of this season of Agents of SHIELD showed us that by the end, the earth will shatter, that Daisy Johnson- Quake, the Destroyer of Worlds- will bring about the end of everything. We kind of know that can’t happen because we know Thanos will bring about the end of everything (well, half of everything), so the question remains how will SHIELD save the day from Graviton?
Plus, we were left with the ominous prophecy that it is Phil Coulson’s cure that will lead to the end of everything? With all these promises of doomsday, how did SHIELD save the day? With a heavy price.
Say one thing for the season five finale of Agents of SHIELD: say it is expensive. I mean, things got cinematic as feck as Graviton attacks Chicago looking for the last remnants of Gravitonium. We’re talking full out disaster porn as Chicago crumbles under Gravitons’s ship.
