The Season 3 finale revealed that Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) stole Yo-Yo’s necklace and sacrificed his life in order to prevent Hive (Brett Dalton) from dispersing the serum that would turn humanity into Inhumans. Following their death on the space-bound quinjet, the show then jumped six months into the future, showing Daisy (Chloe Bennett) — heartbroken by Lincoln’s heroic death — on the run and a disheveled-looking Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) attempting to track her down.
Season 4
1. Daisy has gone rogue
In the Season 3 finale, Daisy has left SHIELD and gone full-on goth, using her powers to destroy major buildings and keep off the grid. A few newspaper clippings reveal that the world is aware of her powers and has named her “Quake.” But though it seems she hasn’t turned into a full-blown villain (she’s seen helping Charles Hinton’s wife and daughter), it’s unclear what her exact motives are.
As Whedon revealed, we’ll learn more about Daisy’s intentions in Season 4. “Some of that will be revealed, but it’s safe to surmise from what you see at the end that she has returned to her roots of being a loner,” he explained to The Hollywood Reporter. “After everything that she’s been through and all the chaos around and all the destruction at her hand, she feels that getting close to people was a mistake and she’s better off on her own.”
But as he points out, that doesn’t mean she’s not staying true to her word. “We can see through, yes, dealing with Hinton’s wife and the girl that she’s keeping a promise, but she’s also honoring what Lincoln said, which is he believed she was meant for more than this,” Whedon said. “While she would feel that maybe there’s now nothing to lose, she also wants to live up to his belief in her and whether or not she’s doing that through good means or whether or not she’s a rogue, we’ll see.”
2. A new director of SHIELD
Phil Coulson no longer held the position of head of SHIELD and was instead keeping busy tracking down missing former agent Daisy. It’s not yet clear why Coulson was demoted, but viewers can expect to learn more about the reasoning — and who has taken his place
Complications alum Jason O’Mara has joined the series as S.H.I.E.L.D’s new director, playing a character whose Marvel roots go back to the 1940
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director (Jason O’Mara) to be the face of the organization.
Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack (Henry Simmons), and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. They have been trying to track down and capture Daisy (Chloe Bennet), aka Quake, who has gone rogue in an attempt to atone for sins from the past. But with the world believing that Daisy is a dangerous outlaw who has taken down banks and bridges, the new Director has no qualms about taking her down for good.
Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) have taken a big step forward in their relationship. But with Simmons’ new promotion as Special Advisor to the Director in Science and Technology, Fitz, as well as her former team members, finds it hard to confide in or trust her since she’s now the Director’s confidant.
3. Several New Faces
Marvel describes the introduction of this character this way: “Robbie Reyes will roar into the lives of Agent Coulson and the team as a junkyard mechanic who can turn on a dime into the terrifying Ghost Rider.
4. Peggy Carter may show up
Following the cancellation of Agent Carter, there have been rumblings that the character of Peggy (Hayley Atwell) could continue her on-screen presence on Agents of SHIELD. So will we see Peggy via flashback this coming season?
The option is still on the table, as Whedon confirmed to THR. “She is the founder of SHIELD and once an agent, always an agent. There is, of course, that possibility,” he said, per THR. “The great thing about the Marvel comics and the Marvel universe in general is that nothing is really off the table. Coulson is living proof of it. So yes, of course there is that possibility.”
5. Repercussions of Dr. Radcliffe’s LMD technology
The Season 3 finale also saw Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah) finalizing a project labeled “LMD,” the shortened name for Marvel Comics’ Life-Model Decoys. In the comics, the LMDs were developed by SHIELD to take the form of a person and act as a body double, keeping the real agents safe. But while the LMDs were created with good intentions, the technology has been known to spin out of control and cause major problems for the rest of the world (similarly to Tony Stark’s catastrophic creation, Ultron, on the big screen side of the MCU).
That could be the case for Radcliffe, who intends to turn his computer voice AIDA into a humanoid figure, with the hopes of preventing future SHIELD deaths. Whether things will go according to plan… well, that remains to be seen. “Radcliffe has a good heart, but he’s willing to do anything for science,” Whedon said. “He’s excited about the prospect. He said Fitz and Simmons had friends die and maybe they didn’t have to. He’s clearly opening a box. Whether or not it’s Pandora’s box, we’ll see.”
Tancharoen adds, “To someone like Radcliffe, he might believe that to be just the next step in human evolution. There are a number of people who are into body modification now, so what does that mean? What’s the root of that? Now we are going to dive deeper into this man, Radcliffe, who is into that endeavor.” Speaking of which…
6. Season 4 will center on the consequences to technological advancements
“We’ve talked about what are the differences between people with powers and people without powers and I think our show started as not all heroes are super because we were about the little guy who doesn’t have powers,” he explained. “Now, some of our people do have powers and some of them don’t. Next year, with the advances in technology, we might be asking the question of, ‘If you can have this, do you want it?’ And a little bit of be careful what you wish for. That’s about as specific as we can get.”
7. It will be darker and edgier

Both because it’s a big difference if you’re either a Marvel fan or a DC fan , I enjoyed both and going and see justice league a second time (saw ragnarok 2x also)
^ those big production movies should be seen on a cinema or big screen to really appreciate the effects. You often dont realise it cause you can’t miss what you don’t see.

So you didn't see all of Thor? Not sure why you'd say one was better than the other when there was a technical issue in the cinema.
Coppershot wrote:Saw both. Thor was better because it was more like comedy/action. So i enjoyed it more especially certain other characters. No spoilers.
Justice League wasn't that bad, tone of movie similar to Wonder Woman. Although the reviews are low, i feel is residual of Batman v Superman debacle.
Btw both movies have 2 end credits.
X2
Also enjoyed Thor over JL
The CGI was cheap looking and whole pace of the movie was shoddy. Just a flop like bat vs superman in my books.
Hopefully Aquaman won't disappoint and carry on like wonder woman and dark knight.
JL is worth a watch, I'd rate it similar to BvS, some of the cgi was disappointing, felt it was kinda rushed but it was enjoyable, flash is exactly like avenger's spiderman, goofy kid in awe of all the super heroes around him. The villain was meh.
Thor however was amazing from start to finish, definitely the better movie by a longshot.
Having only seen Thor so far it was epic. Very comedic, very over the top in a good way. More a Marvel fan than a DC however I very much anticipate watching JL bad reviews or not (Gal Gadot--drools)
