I like the idea that Mockinbird is a mantle that can be passed as well. Like Laura was mockingbird but then gave it to Bobbi, cause they're both great and i want both of them to be acknowledged in the MCU 😁
I mean it works and plus I don’t think Bobbi was ever called mockingbird in the show. So maybe she just never used the name. I mean at this point marvel please make it canon!
@@bryanvazquez5342It would make sense. Assuming she retired 21 years before the election present day MCU (when their oldest son was born), there should be no issue with that.
I don’t care what anyone says. Critics be damned. Agents of Shield was peak Marvel Television. The MCU’s Phase 1 achieved massive mainstream success because it worked hard to create a far more grounded adaptation of Marvel characters, much of which was based on the grittier and down to earth Ultimate Comics imprint. Not only did they tone down these stories but they also spoon fed the casual audiences. Gradually sensitizing them to increasingly more fantastic sci-fi elements, and giving them viewers permission to suspend their disbelief a little bit more with each new outing in the franchise. So when Agents of Shield debuted it really was something special. While I initially expected a not so great, grounded police procedural based in the MCU(think CSI: Marvel), I was absolutely thrilled when instead they dove headfirst into Marvel lore. From day one the show was willing explore every crevice and corner of the Marvel world, utilizing the details and ideas that exist on the periphery yet are important to world building. This was a true joy for the über invested long time comic fans who could see and appreciate the Easter eggs, homages, and obsure bits of Marvel history. It felt like a gift of sorts to the ever loyal super fans. I mean, how man viewers had read Hickman’s Secret Warriors which had only been published not long before AoS began, and which much of the show was directly based on? How many realized that Mike Peterson was going to be Deathlok, or knew Garrett was most likely part robot, how many were reading the Inhuman books of the time that the show was literally adapting in real time? Same goes for so much more, Eli being Molecule Man, Ivanon the “Superior” man being a Red Guardian reference, then later becoming a fun take on MODOK, or the fact the AIDA eventually became a Super-Adaptoid, or that Mace was a really cool combination of his comic book counterpart, a hero who fought under the Patriot moniker and also one of the several men who took up the Captain America mantle while Steve was frozen, mixed with the compelling conflicts of the younger Patriot Eli Bradley, who so desperately wanted to being a super soldier like members of his family that he became dependent on drugs that enhanced him. Not to mention the show was willing to go places that the films were timid about, from season one they were doing full tilt comic book resurrection, they were combining residual tech to make superhumans(extremis, bootleg erskine, and gamma isotopes all brought together using chitauri meta-materials), they offered the fun comic trope of the high-tech workshop that develops endless gadgets, tools and weapons from ICERS to DWARFs, to superhuman bionic hands complete with energy based hard-light Captain America shield. They introduced the Kree species, went all in on Inhumans, revealed that there were many meta humans in the world and Shield kept a database, they traveled to other solar systems, visited distant worlds, traversed alternate dimensions, stepped out of phase with reality, went all in on magic, discovered the Darkhold, time travelled and more all before the MCU fins dared to touch those concepts. One of my all time favorite things they did was provide an amazing and unique science based analysis of the mystic arts. Using the tools and methods they understood they successfully reverse engineered and harnessed the exact same “magic” as Dr. Strange. They even independently and without realizing it, arrived at the conclusion that manipulating of these energies required specific gestures and hand movements. Though, the agents and AIDA approach this whole endeavor from the angle of math and science, using data, analysis, and riding structures to create a “paint by number” method for utilizing this tool. But, since they were not trained in the spirituality and mysticism of this field, they were unaware of the rules, parameters and limits of usage. Seeing the team engineer a mechanical gateway, and then AIDA weaving together the harnessed energy one datapoint at a time utilizing rigid and geometrically patterned hand movements of her own design(without even understanding that she’s spell casting) all to recreate what is accomplished with a simple sling ring was so awesome to watch. In my opinion, it’s this level of depth and attention to detail that the MCU has been missing. That, and the occasional unapologetic high quality campiness that made AoS phenomenal. Examples include things like Coulson being a believable nerdy stand-in for the viewers and making Star Wars jokes, or making remarks about looking cool, always wanting to say a quote, or missing out on a moment like a Quake and Ghost Rider team up without it ever feeling forced; and also badass over the top moments like Bobbi pulling out her high tech batons with Captain America inspired magnetic recall function and watching her proceed to take down henchmen by absolutely boomeranging her way through them all.
@@darthgamer9468yes, that's why they were abruptly written off the show. Hunter eventually came back though. Bobbi's actress was busy on another show unfortunately.
Or it's just an easter egg that says Mockingbird was his wife. As there are multiple Black Widows, there can be multiple mockingbirds. You could say Bobbi took over Mockingbird after Laura retired.
