That is a name you have to read twice. Wasn't sure if it was real, or you were embedding a snarky joke in there.

I gained a whole new appreciation for Iain's acting abilities after seeing him in this horror film he did called In Fear. Fitz is 180 degrees from his role in that film. Also interesting, it appears he tones down his natural accent for American television.

Squirrelgirl or Groot. Not that many public phones in trees or in space. There are even fewer in space trees.

He was the main highlight for me so far in season two. Don't expect to see much of him, however.

He might as well not even be Absorbing Man. He was rather unimpressive. He had the power but the character wasn't there. Just a mostly quiet thug w/ nothing unique aside from his powers which were used to no grand imagination really.

Well, comic book Absorbing Man is like at the power level of Hulk. No way these Agents of Shield are going up against someone like that and surviving (dumb Asgardian temptresses aside).

I dunno about you guys but for some reason I felt like they losing funds somehow and tried to make do w/ what they had cuz that episode looked really cheap in everything pretty much. Bikers... really?

I just felt Absorbing Man was pretty generic. Like... he could have been pretty much any other powered thug and it'd still be the same.

He looked fine to me. I thought he was cool villain.

I thought The Absorbing Man was damn impressive for a TV show comic book character.
