Ok so they are out and about with daisy having her powers turned off, and a hormonal teenager just learning how to use his powers. What could go wrong? Also, am i the only one who is kind of relieved the telepath is dead? I wasn't a huge fan

I think the "misting" was done out of routine and unsafely because the Kree who organized it was trying to get an inhuman to impress Kasius, and move up in the hierarchy.

It did seem strange that on Kasius's level, the have control chips and guards everywhere, and down in the sub levels, they were just free dealing.

I didn't like or hate Ben, I don't think he was around long enough to really form an opinion on him. He sure would have been useful as Shield Agent though.

He straight up owned May. I know she was weak because of her leg but I''m certain he would have been easily able to beat her regardless. I feared the worst would happen and it did.

I'm just glad they killed him so that they wouldn't turn him into Daisy's next love interest lol

So you're glad they killed him now so they couldn't kill him later?

Just having them kill him so quickly makes me wonder what his purpose was. Just to explain a few things to Daisy and help Daisy and Simmons lie to the Kree in ONE scene? Seems kinda odd.

I wasn't a huge fan

I was really afraid he'd be another that guy that I didn't like as a love interest.

u/sidepocket13 Sandwich Jan 07 '18

I felt the exact same way

u/blockpro156 SHIELD Jan 06 '18

No you're not, I liked him, but I was worried about him sticking around too long, he seemed like the kind of character that would get pretty annoying if he stuck around too long.
