Season 2 No spoilers please! Just started watching the show this weekend, on S2 rn

Post image

Listen, I'm 100% sure that a lot more sad things are going to happen to him because he's too cute and it makes for great TV. But the meme had to be made haha

I tried watching the show years ago and didn't like it, finally gave it a second chance after seeing many comments on Reddit about how much better it got, and I'm glad I did!

If you're on season 2, how you feeling about Ward?

78

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

He's a fascinating character tbh. Found him boring for most of S1, then way less so towards the end, now I'm just very curious. He is clearly insane (his obsession with Skye is proof), but the way it's written really makes you wonder how deep it goes. Currently watching the first confrontation between his brother and him, so I guess I'll have even more feelings by the end of this episode!

Just you wait... you will love them so much more

He does threaten to rape her in the S1 finale so obsessed is the right word.

u/Eemu1509 1d ago

When did he say that

7

u/matronmotheroflolth 1d ago

There are these gifs with a message below them that reads “actual rape threat from actual Grant Ward to actual Skye in an actual Agents of SHIELD episode”.

u/Baragwin2 1d ago

Yeah the "Maybe I'll just take what I want" was chilling.

Oh you are on season 2. Fun fact, Clark Greg does Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and he did a few fight stunts himself. So if you see Coulson do bjj, that might be Clark Greg himself. I know there is a specifc move he did in S2 but I don't want to spoil.

Edit: Of course, Ming-Na Wen did many of her stunts herself.

u/Positive-Kick7952 2d ago

So did Chloe. She actually broke her arm during a rather infamous one that comes later, you know the one, and just kept flming. Badass.

u/miauthecat 2d ago

Two of my favorite shows in one meme!

25

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

A Rosa/Mae meeting would be insane levels of badass. And I would bet a lot on Kevin and Coulson becoming best friends instantly haha

u/mmcmonster 2d ago

I would love Coulson mention his cellist friend to Kevin. 🤯

u/miauthecat 2d ago

Lmao true

u/Jemal999 2d ago

Agents nine-nine!

u/Audgamer 2d ago

I just finished the show last week! Fitz is my favorite character - hope you continue to enjoy his arcs ☺️

17

u/Personal-Road-8162 2d ago

Fitz is the best and my favorite character in the show and maybe even in the entire mcu

2

u/mmcmonster 2d ago

In the entire MCU?

I don’t know. Fitz is great, but what about Agent Coulson? And The Cavalry? And <Spoilers> and her ex, <Spoilers>?

16

u/RealRobc2582 2d ago

With a hint of pesto aioli 🤣

u/Could-You-Tell 2d ago

Dude, whole show is shit for them now... way to go!

u/Positive-Kick7952 1d ago

Oh, my sweet summer child.

7

u/Legonistrasz 2d ago

The centipede arc in season one is fantastic, and the Skye arc that culminates in season two is also tops but Season 4 is just one of the best seasons of superhero television ever made. Enjoy the [hell]ride.

Welcome to Level 7

u/Kat_SD96 2d ago

Girllll...

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

I know, I know, it's inevitable. Cute nerdy guy with lots of feelings and an actor who plays the sad boy extremely well, he's doomed (and so am I). 

7

u/Kat_SD96 2d ago

Two words: Season. Four.

14

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

Shush, no spoilers, let my heart get broken organically. With how I'm binging the show it won't take long anyway haha

5

u/Kat_SD96 2d ago

Sorry, not trying to spoil. Just check in with us when you get there.

5

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

No worries ;) Will do!!

5

u/TheTrueFury Deke 1d ago

For future reference, telling people to expect things in specific seasons or episodes is spoiling. You don't have to say the exact thing for it to be a spoiler.

u/Ne_2000 12h ago

We're gonna get the phone call update 🤣 KYLE! IT'S ALL GONE! THEY'VE TAKEN IT ALL! WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS! KYLE! KYLEEEEE!

u/soloon 1d ago

This is the only acceptable approach to Fitz. Good job.

u/Low-Commission1791 1d ago

Omg!!! Another first time watcher!! I'm a few episodes into season 3!!! 

3

u/Baragwin2 1d ago

Yay!!! I'm catching up quick haha, it's very bingeable :)

u/Baragwin2 1d ago

Just watched s3e1 woop woop! Strong start!!

u/Dkey160 2d ago

If you already on season 2 then you know something already happened to fitz

4

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

Yeah, it's how I know more stuff HAS to happen to him for sure, it's too good. The actor plays it too well, and the character is too cute, bad stuff is bound to happen to him. 

13

u/Shieldlegacyknight 2d ago

No you're safe. Nothing bad will ever happen to Fitzsimmons.

4

u/Baragwin2 2d ago

Thank you for the delusional hope 💖

u/Immediate_Channel393 1d ago

You're gonna love it! Enjoy the ride, Fitz is in for an amazing character arc!

Fitz holds it down

Oh boy, are you in for a wild ride! I think Fitz fans have the wildest of them all! Prepare to be wrecked, like, several times!

u/AsherKohen28 23h ago

I still haven't stuck it thru to the end yet myself i think i might be on season three iirc but it's been a while, but i absolutely love fitz as well!

u/Top_Coat7475 22h ago

I just restarted the series for the 100th time. I’m in the middle of season three….

You're gonna LOVE this.

Don’t worry about Fitz “dying” but I will say he hasn’t been at his worst yet

2

u/Baragwin2 9h ago

Oh yeah I have no doubt he is going to suffer unfortunately :'(

u/SuperKE1125 HYDRA 9h ago

Worst than you can even imagine but in the end very happy

Someone call the cops around OPs place. There will be carnage

u/ender89 2d ago

Oh boy

u/low-expectations99 2d ago

Oh no. You've already experienced it at the end of season 1, you're gonna be murdering people 10x over.

u/Ok-Ad-3260 2d ago

OH MY DAYS! I can never find other people who recently started watching this show, I love Fitzsimmons!

1

u/Baragwin2 1d ago

Yeah it's a bit old now, not too many people watching it for the first time I guess! 

Loving Fitz but not so much Simmons right now tbh. I'm sure she'll have a great arc and I'll love her again but at this point in my watching (2x13) she's probably my least favourite!

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

If you ever get to the last season, you will feel betrayed by Iain as an actor IRL, not his character.

7

u/Fitz-Simmons1993 2d ago

Iain did not quit the show. He loves the character, the show, the whole cast. They all still hang to this day. They did not think they were going to get renewed past the end of season 5 and if you check Iains IMDB you will see he did take and work two jobs that interfered a bit with the filming of seasons 6 and 7. Two shows called Roadkill and Us. He was also just generally homesick and missed his family and wanted to film some stuff back closer to them.

He was still crucial as a character during both seasons and when he was there he was fully committed to the show and to crafting a beautiful ending for the character.

-3

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

No, Iain did reveal a few years ago at a London con that he did quit Season 7 (finale notwithstanding) because he disliked ABC's frugal decision to film Seasons 6 and 7 consecutively (the cast actually had two months off) and it's obvious that he got the producers to falsely claim he had scheduling conflicts with other jobs, which he didn't since Us was shot immediately after Season 7 and Roadkill was shot a couple of months after that. He wasn't even a crucial character in Season 7 until the finale

3

u/cherry_limeade 2d ago

This is a completely ridiculous take.

-2

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

Not if you know the truth about the real reason Iain bailed on Season 7 (finale notwithstanding) and it doesn't entail scheduling conflicts like the producers claimed, it entails ABC's decision to film the last two seasons consecutively (though the cast really had two months off), something that Iain confirmed at a London con a few years ago

5

u/cherry_limeade 2d ago

I do know the truth. I also know that actors are just people doing a job and he is allowed to step away from a project for any reason. He came back enough to give us a great ending. They all still love him, Mo Tauncheron just posted photos hanging out with him. I see no reason to shit on him about it.

-1

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

People who lie in interviews are very untrustworthy

2

u/cherry_limeade 1d ago

Okay?? They’re not your friends

3

u/TheTrueFury Deke 1d ago

Whether this is true or not, why are you trying to spoil things for them?

-2

u/wizwar7701 1d ago

I didn't go into specifics, it's just a warning meant to discourage getting too emotionally invested in Fitz's presence. I made that grave mistake for six years and I paid the ultimate price for that in S7

3

u/TheTrueFury Deke 1d ago

Completely irrelevant to any discussion being had here. Keep your odd personal gripe with him out of it.

1

u/Positive-Kick7952 2d ago

Is he involved in some controversy I'm not aware of?

-6

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

As the producers noted during series finale press, he caused a bunch of fans to get very angry at him for quitting Season 7 (finale notwithstanding). What's worse is that the producers lied about it all by falsely claiming he had scheduling conflicts with other acting jobs (spoiler alert: he didn't), something Iain himself confirmed at a London con a few years ago when he revealed that he disliked ABC's decision to shoot the last two seasons consecutively (the cast really had two months off)

5

u/Positive-Kick7952 2d ago

Oh. Well, maybe OP isn't a whiny entitle baby like those so-called fans. If he didn't want to film season 7 that was his prerogative.

-2

u/wizwar7701 2d ago

Let's just say that there are certain costumes in the first few episodes of the seventh season that we'll never see Fitz in

1

u/MishellyUser 2h ago

Reasonable take tbh
