AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Asset” – Coulson Creates His Own Demons

Tony Stark isn’t the only one in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) who creates his own demons. In the third episode of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Phil Coulson ends up accidentally creating his own super-villain.

But just like the narrative of IRON MAN 3, let’s track this from the beginning…

If the “Pilot” was  an NCIS knock-off and “0-8-4” was a mini-Marvel action movie, then “The Asset” is basically Marvel’s version of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE.

This episode, Marvel movie fans get the treat of transitioning from A.I.M.’s  Extremis in episode 1, a Hydra’s Tesseract weapon of mass destruction.

Responding to a ‘0-8-4,’ Agent Phil Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) elite unit of S.H.I.E.L.D operatives and Skye (Chloe Bennet), the former(?) member of ‘The Rising Tide,’ (and acting consultant, just like one Tony Stark), end up in Peru.  What is a 0-8-4, you may ask? (As Skye did…).

Well, let’s just say the last 0-8-4 Agent Phil Coulson responded to was an unmovable hammer in New Mexico…

The 0-8-4 is.... an old Hydra weapon!
