On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

My brain is putting these things together:

• A reunion of the Inhumans cast in Toronto...because Serinda Swan(Medusa) and Anson Mount(Black Bolt) are already working on other stuff there and knocking the critics dead with joy. Get those actors a script they can all have fun with.
• She-Hulk shows up because the Inhumans have moved from Hawai'i to Toronto because politics. And she's a lawyer, drowning in a crash course on international law, refugee/immigration law, etc..
• Ms. Marvel if they hold onto her Inhuman connection from the comics, and my logic doesn't have an explanation why her family would let her go to/bring her from Jersey City to Toronto yet.
• Shang-Chi, because of his father's schemes having a Toronto angle.
• I want to try to leverage Alpha Flight as I first knew it from the comics further into MCU being without being X-Men-dependent.
• Get some of the Agents of SHIELD cast into the game. At least Daisy Johnson and alt-timeline Daniel Sousa.

None of this makes any sense to any of you, right? Outside of a fanfic context, anyway. I'm spitballing here out loud in public, precisely where I shouldn't. Also, getting Canadian actors - Swan, Vellani, Maslany, Liu - to be able to work on a Marvel project in Canada.

Noting this because SHIELD nerd, me.

Will try to discuss other things later, okay?

Okay, that's it. Show's over.

I cried. I'll probably tell you when in the comments at some point.

But I think I'm okay with the ending for this set of stories, in Agents of SHIELD.

I suspect that we're not going to see much of our soldier-spy heroes for a while, given some of the antics going on across the real world of late. Despite the feeling that anti-fascist soldier-spies may be exactly what we want or need among our fictional and real heroes right now. It all just looks too shady.

This may also explain why DC's reorganizing Checkmate from its previous roles as first a US government intel shop and later a United Nations-attached organization into a loose band of four solo heroes (including Lois Lane).

Some random thoughts.

( Spoilers for the X-Men comics' stories in progress! )

And that's it for this season. The last one's already in the can, but for the VFX work, I'm led to understand. "The Sign" and "New Life" were good cliffhanger TV.

More about my thinking on Agents of SHIELD later

Chores done. Searching and researching continue this afternoon. After supper, the plan is laundry and watching Agents of SHIELD.

Tomorrow, there's a big book sale on at the city archives building on Woodroffe and Tallwood. I plan to seek research bargains for my street names project.

Apologies to Neko Case.

There are days like that first line from "Night Still Comes". This isn't one of those days, I think. The job search continues, but I'm pausing it because Victoria Day Long Weekend.

Two episodes in, and Agents of SHIELD Season 6 has been fun, splitting its attention between interstellar space and the wider multiverse as it seems to be doing.

I want to piece together a list of SHIELD-affiliated characters in the Marvel Universe comic books. Alive, currently presumed dead, otherwise unavailable...shall we start with those three categories? Who fits where right now? It looks to me like Nick Fury Jr. has his own shop keeping watch on the Punisher right now, but I'm not sure of the rest of the characters we associate with SHIELD.
Would it be good if I set up a spreadsheet somewhere?

Bob Ingersoll had a few things to say about a specific issue of Jane Foster-era Thor a year ago.

It involved SHIELD agents getting a search warrant to investigate connections between Jane Foster and Thor...which was interesting in one respect since she was appointed by the hammer Mjolnir as the Goddess of Thunder at the time, dealing with a prolonged stage three-to-four fight with cancer, and serving as Earth's representative at the Congress of Worlds as convened by Asgardia.

Specifically, the incarnation of SHIELD that started at the end of Secret Warriors v.1, and before they got dismantled yet again as a consequence of not catching "Captain HYDRA" building his Secret Empire right under everyone's nose. So...could SHIELD get a search warrant for anywhere Jane Foster was calling home, inside and outside US territory?

We've got a few issues. Per the ending of Secret Warriors v.1 and the bulk of Secret Avengers v.2, SHIELD is still supposedly a United Nations-affiliated organization at this point, barring the opinions of certain American politicians of various affiliations. They could refer to either the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court, depending on the needs of the situation and the interest level of signatory nations. Not being conversant in international law - either the real-worlds variant or the Marvel Comics Multiverse kind - I hesitate to suggest ways and means. We need nerds who are conversant in such things.

SHIELD's jurisdiction to search in Asgardia is definitely problematic at best. Asgardia was not a signatory to any of the treaties that might be useful to SHIELD here, as far as I know. At least not yet. But the Asgardian authorities might have to decided to play along to get Jane out of their hair one way or another given the politics of that particular moment.

Sorry it took me so long to notice this...
