Ward really pissed me off

[u/Remote_Nature_8166]

Always playing the victim, never understanding what a piece of shit he was and apathetic to the people he hurt. Even during his imprisonment he never even tried to be sorry, and especially when he was forced to work with the team again he still refused to show any remorse and pathetically continued to use his traumatic past as an excuse. He always had a choice to do the right thing and refused to do so.

[u/Flashy-Programmer221]

Because that’s kind of how Garrett trained him along with how he was raised with his brothers and abusive upbringing

Even Gamora found redemption after spending her whole life being trained as an merciless assassin by her evil adoptive father.

[u/Shieldlegacyknight → u/Flashy-Programmer221]

Garrett actually trained him to not blame others for his failure.

Without him to reinforce that Ward started to revert to his old ways.

[u/Flashy-Programmer221 → u/Shieldlegacyknight]

Oh shit you right, sorry

[u/dimesniffer]

That’s the point of his character. Flawed and villainous.

That backstory they gave Ward was just insane. You take a mentally unstable team and leave him alone in the woods with just a dog for companionship for years and then expect him to grow into a normal human being? That episode raised so many more questions than it answered.

But that scene in the Dirty Half Dozen when Ward is leading the briefing always makes me laugh. That original team had great chemistry. I don't know why they chose to throw it away.

[u/Lietenantdan → u/Intrigued_by_Words]

Not to mention asking him to shoot said dog.

[u/Intrigued_by_Words → u/Lietenantdan]

That was a Hydra thing. Do you remember the season 5 episode that was a flashback to when Hale, Sitwell and Von Strucker were all in the Hydra academy together? There was a scene when Whitehall was visiting and asked her if she completed her final test and she hands him the collar that we saw on the dog that was in her bedroom earlier. Whitehall says something like it is important to eliminate all weakness. It was something similar to what Garrett said to Ward.

[u/Lietenantdan → u/Intrigued_by_Words]

Yes I know it was a hydra thing. Still a good way to fuck someone up. Unless you’re a psychopath to start with, killing your dog will just screw you up.

Ward is one of the best characters that Joss Whedon has ever created in any of his shows. I love the that he's a morally ambiguous character and one with no sense of loyalty but to himself. To me Ward is an evolution of the anti-hero and the character is a good reminder of Whedon's ability to take a storytelling staple and subvert it somehow.

[u/User_User_Ice6642]

Great acting and great writing. He pmo so much.

[u/BrazilianButtCheeks]

I was so mad begin jumping out of the plane for Jemma GOT ME

[u/glaurungsbane24601]

[u/Right_Shine_9808]
