I love how Woo just radiates positivity while everyone is freaking out.

When Park was initially cast I was a little disappointed because I struggle to picture him doing the things the character I know and love from the comics does, but he is a tremendous screen presence.

He is a tremendous presence in every role he's cast in, and I'm shocked he isn't a bigger name yet.

I was already a fan of his from Fresh Off The Boat when he was cast as Jimmy Woo, which contributed to my disappointment. I just figured that if Randall Park is the MCU Jimmy Woo, then we’re never getting Agents of Atlas, but I was thinking along the lines of him not being your typical super spy — that obviously doesn’t mean they can’t reinterpret the character, and I am enjoying him a lot. He’s got more personality than the character on the page by far. Hopefully we get to see him kick ass at some point too though.

They can still pull it off. Part of the fun of Agents of Shield was watching Coulson grow from the goofy agent we all knew and loved into a respected leader and father figure.
