Agents of S.W.O.R.D - Could it Happen?

After the events of Captain America The Winter Soldier and the latest episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D "Turn Turn Turn" our favorite off grid agents may need to consider some new career choices. I'll explain why later in this season, or next season, S.W.O.R.D Could find a permanent spot on the show... SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

THIS ARTICLE WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM CAPTAIN AMERICA THE WINTER SOLDIER AND THE LATEST EPISODES OF AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D, SO IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

LAST CHANCE TO AVOID BEING SPOILED... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!  S.H.I.E.L.D, in the MCU, has been taken down, along with Hydra, by Cap himself; Agent Coulson and his team will/are effected by this the most.  Without S.H.I.E.L.D's backbone supporting Coulson's team, the bus is now the only resource they have, unless they take control of one of S.H.I.E.L.D's facilities.  We know in Avengers AOU S.H.I.E.L.D will still not exist in the MCU, so if AOS gets renew, there will be at least one full season without S.H.I.E.L.D being around.  The question on everyone's mind is where is the show going to go from here; S.W.O.R.D has been a big theory by many, while also being mine, so I'll explain why I think it may happen.

Joss Whedon:

S.W.O.R.D was created by Joss Whedon, and with him directing the Avengers, the first episode of AOS, staying on as a producer of the show, and being a consultant with the rest of the MCU films post Avengers, incorporating and intelligence agency that, in the comics was made a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D and created by Joss himself, would make a lot of sense.


GH.325:

While not 100% confirmed yet, the creature in which the drug that saved both Coulson and Skye, is most likely Alien, possibly Kree.  If the Alien influence in the show grows, which it may since S.H.I.E.L.D is no longer able to help protect the earth, S.W.O.R.D would be the perfect way to go with the show, since they specialize in Alien threats.

Skye:

We know that Skye is an 0-8-4, and object of unknown origin, and it's been teased that she has powers, by the male agent that helped save her.  It's also been teased that Skye is not her real name and I for one do not believe Marvel would keep her name a secret if she wasn't a character from the comics.  We know she had a much different reaction to the GH.325 drug than Coulson, which I always believed it was due to her actually being alive when given it, but with Coulson constantly stressing it on the show, I believe it may be more than that.  We also know very little about her parents.  So where am I going with this?  I believe she may actually be Abigail Brand head of S.W.O.R.D.  In the comics we know very little about Abigail's past, such as Skye, we know that Abigail can speak alien langueges, and create blue energy in her palms, and it was teased that Skye has powers, we know that Abigail's father is alien and her mother gave her the X-gene, and that could explain why Skye had a more positive reaction to the alien drug, and the thing the Clairvoyant wants from Skye could be the MCU version of the X-gene.  Also from the beginning of the show to now, Skye has slowly becoming more badass; she's a better figher and better with weapons, so I believe they are slowly turning her into a more comic accurate Abigail Brand.

So do you think it's possible?  Let me know below!

If they up the budget, sure. As it stands now though, the way their sets and effects are, I doubt it. Season 2 will most likely be more of a Secret War type thing.

@ruadh I believe that's the route they are going to go too, but I much rather they go the SWORD route, which is why I made this article.

I found it really interesting when Coulson was told he needed a TECHNICIAN that knew how to take care of his body. Im gonna watch it again on my DVR and see if I missed something obvious.

@WYLEEJAY I've watch the episode like 20 times now, trying to catch anything important I may have missed, and I still feel like I've missed something... The only things I could gather is that Ward has the hard drive with all the specs and designs that was on the bus and that the person on the other line of Fury's secure line sounded a lot like Cap.

I've been thinking that Skye is Jessica Drew. I'm most probably wrong, but hey, keep watching AoS and we'll find out.

The show has improved so much since christmas!

@Glider Sif confirmed Asgard knows nothing of any other aliens visiting earth, and Thor 2 confirmed that there are aliens in which are old enough that even Heimdall can't see. Also Fitz himself said he's heard of 0-8-4's being alien space crafts(probably meaning other aliens have visited earth), but he could be referring to Chitauri space crafts, who knows?
RextheKing
RextheKing - 4/10/2014, 2:54 PM
@Glider True, but just because she knows about them doesn't mean they aren't old enough for Asgard to not be able to see, since Asgard knew about Dark Elves but couldn't see them coming. Also a theory, Odin and Heimdall could have known about the alien/s visiting earth, but probably didn't do anything about it, or shared the information because S.H.I.E.L.D was able to handle it without Asgard's help.

I'd love this to happen.

The girl who plays Skye (I think it was her, it may have been someone else on the show) confirmed that the alien was a Kree during an interview around two weeks ago or so. I don't think she was supposed to, seemed as though she kind of let is slip, but the alien is most definitely Kree.
RextheKing
RextheKing - 4/10/2014, 3:39 PM
@Humby Yeah I remember that, then she took it back later, saying she was just "speculating" that it was Kree, but in the interview she said along the lines "as we all know, the alien is Kree" and that sounds more like a confirmation than a speculation.

@Gliderman, Sif listed several blue aliens (Coulson specifically asked about blue aliens), including the Kree, but also said that none but the Frost Giants had visited Earth. But, I don't take that as being absolute, because I assume Asguard doesn't know about every single alien that has ever been to Earth. And even if they did, Sif might not know about them.

As for the actress, she did say it was Kree, but later said she was guessing. I would guess that she got in trouble for saying it and had to take it back.

As for Skye being Brand, while it's possible, I have my doubts. She is closely associated with the X-Men too, and I'm not sure if Marvel wants to use another character like that when they're already using Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Plus, Brand is supposed to be close to Fury, while Skye doesn't even know him. So if she is Brand, there will be fanboys whining about not being true to source material. (It wouldn't bother me, but there would be whining.)

Anybody else have any clue why Coulson would need a Technician to TAKE CARE OF his body? I find this to be a very interesting choice of dialogue for this scene. It feels like shes talking about something thats not human, and Coulson doesn't catch it. We need to dig into this some more. When I get off work im gonna watch the scene again.

Nice article I love the idea of SWORD replacing SHIELD. Have SHIELD brought back and to repair itself would be a silly cop out.

@WYLEEJAY

Do you know if it was confirmed for Paul Bettany to play Vision?
WYLEEJAY
WYLEEJAY - 4/10/2014, 7:17 PM
@Bubsnikt. Everything I have read says Bettany is playing Vision. Which sounds to me like JARVIS will be corrupted by Ultron or become Ultron. Changes his voice, then uses the template for Vision. I dont think Coulson will be Vision. Could be wrong, but I think somethings not quite right with this choice of dialogue. You say Medic, or Medical Officer or Medical Personnel. Not Technician. You would think May was talking about Simmons too. But what if she meant Fitz. Hes the gadget Tech dude. Gonna watch again in a minute.
WYLEEJAY
WYLEEJAY - 4/10/2014, 7:54 PM
K watching right now. Heres what she said...

A person to REPAIR your body,
a person to REPROGRAM your brain,
and a specialist to help me put you down if it had to be done.

Sounds like shes talking to a damn robot. BUT, military uses terms like this when associating with people. Thats how sleeper agents are PROGRAMMED. They call it programmed right? Just a term. Or is there more to it with Coulson?
WYLEEJAY
WYLEEJAY - 4/10/2014, 7:56 PM
Sorry she said a technician to reprogram your brain.

Wyleejay....I was going to say in case they need to hook him back up to the machine.

@Sikwon. Except.....they didn't have access to the machine. Good thought, keep going!

WYLEEJAY - 4/10/2014, 8:30 PM
@Rextheking. Yeah he def has those secrets and knows what hes going to find at the fridge. He has a huge advantage. If their going to go more cosmic, SWORD is def a possibility. Sorry for getting off subject from your article. Just really curious if anyone has pieced more together yet.

Cool theory... I would love for Skye to be Abigail Brand. that's genius :D

I'm hoping S.W.O.R.D. will become intricate with the events that are now happening with in the MCU. It would be great if the division where to be introduced in Agents of SHIELD.

She's an inhuman.

@Dethpillow. What if he IS an LMD? But their more organic than robotic? They transferred his memories? Thats what the machine was really doing?

They showed the original Human Torch in Cap the first Avenger. I doubt he would show up, but it does show that Howard Stark had an interest in Androids. Hmmmmmmm...

Skype is totally May's daughter no idea whether that would affect who she may be as a comic character if she is one but my bet is that she's just a created character like every member of the shield team on the show

that is all

I think it will be revealed she's an inhuman, and she some has some powers. From what i've heard there won't be an Agent's of SWORD but that AGENTS of Shield will go more in battling HYDRA as a completely secret organization sort of way. And it was revealed by the actress that plays Skye that GH was Kree. And the rumor is that Kree was Mar'Vel
