off the stage
Apr. 22nd, 2015 12:16 pm"I wanted to see stories about how Earth people feel now that the sky literally opened up. I wanted to see stories where Coulson's attitude toward superpowered folks was shown to be really rotten, and how it made them into a threat because he kept drawing the attention of the bad guys to their existence."
So I said in response to someone's post about how disappointing "Agents of SHIELD" has been. Really, when you think about it, the only people who seem to have had their lives affected by an alien invasion are with SHIELD or with HYDRA. It's all contained inside one bubble while the rest of us are off the stage and go on as if we had not been told the hard way that We Are Not Alone. Yes, for most people, it wouldn't make a difference, and *I* would still be concerned with making my mortgage's monthly payment, but there are no real indications even in any every-day conversations.
