Was debating with myself whether to review this episode, because it was terrible, and can you really reiterate how terrible a show is from only 5 episodes?
Yes.. yes, you can, because Marvel is repeating the same mistakes that passes for storytelling in every single show now. You could turn it into a drinking game for every time men gets put down, to being the fathers, brothers or son of some significant Woman who made him into this "unique" character that must remember to give thanks to their matriarch.
Now.. you'd go blind from alcohol poisoning playing this game, so there's some advantages I suppose..
Constant misandry aside however, I can't review this episode riddled with plot holes without addressing the "secret safe lair" troupe marvel really loves doing. They did it in that other marvel movie with the chubby child with the magic bracelet, and they did it here.. Priscilla even made the point that for the house to appeal to him, it had to have the 3 things that mattered to him the most.. lots of privacy, lots of security and lots of light... Apparently the light part took charge of the equation, as every single surface is GLASS. The walls are massive windows, and even the ceiling is indeed glass.
So it must be bulletproof right? The leader of S. H. I. E. L. D. wouldn't just have bought some glass at walmart and called it a day.. right?
Que the "surprise" assassins not needing even a plastic explosive to push down the super secure front door.. Giah already did that by gently pushing it open with her hands.. nay, let's just sweep in through the amazingly fragile windows so we can have a 2 gal fire fight defeat a swat like military force who got a drop on 2 people standing around marvelling over how amazing they both are in a literal glass house.. super easy, not even breaking a sweat..
There were other developments, but at this stage.. who even cares?
They'll rewrite the impact of it in another 20 minutes of screenplay, which is the average length of actual story per episode.
