Agnets of SHIELD: The Supernatural vs Science Fiction

The Spirit of Vengeance rides again


          I have to say I'm glad Marvel is getting into their more mystical element such as the Dr. Strange film and Ghost Rider being on Agents of SHIELD. It was getting kind of boring with just plain aliens and science fiction. Things we can look forward to:


Aww just two emo leather clad youths seeking redemption

     Coming face to face with the supernatural presents more of a challenge for SHIELD that is so used to dealing with threats not from earth. For them it's unexplored territory. You can say they've been spoiled by aliens that it wasn't a surprise when Daisy met Robbie and instantly thought he was an inhuman. She's still skeptical about the whole "selling your soul to the Devil" but I think she'll come around. Simmons also is on unfamiliar ground. She's used to science holding the answer but when it comes to the mystical there are no clear answers. Given those vengeful spirits on the prowl FitzSimmons may have to do some research into the box that held them for so long because that strange rare metal may hold the key to defeating future supernatural threats. 

Should we call the Ghost Busters for back up?

      The supernatural threat also comes at the worst time where Inhumans are being targeted by hate groups and even certain politicians are trying to wipe them out based on hatred and fear. It ups the stakes where now the supernaturals will be lumped in with the Inhumans which would be disastrous because mystical beings aren't easily contained by the same laws of physics as mutants or enhanced individuals. However, that doesn't mean they can't be contained. It just means Coulson and his team will have to get more creative.  


This guy is kinda hot. Literally!

      I also don't believe Daisy and Robbie are done riding together. Next episode shows Robbie getting captured by SHIELD but by the look of his glowing red eyes it doesn't seem like that box will be enough to hold that demon of his. Eventually Daisy will be captured by SHIELD and Robbie may help bust her out or the new Director may offer her a deal and they'll meet up again. I don't want to call Ghost Rider Daisy's new love interest though I won't deny they have some chemistry. Daisy doesn't seem ready to let herself love again just yet because she's so haunted by guilt over Lincoln's death.
