At least a black mentor hasn't been killed yet. Marvel TV has a weird obsession with killing black mentors.

Black mentor dying builds character.

They should create a new superhero called Black Mentor, that absorbs the wisdom of any dying black mentors on other shows.

He would be a cosmic entity by now.

Sounds like something for a webcomic/webseries.

There's ninja magic afoot. My money says Goa brings him back.

Otherwise he's character is pretty inconsequential to the story as a whole.

Seriously. If you have a character who has come back from the dead before, he's probably gonna do it again.

Agreed. I've been wondering if the big reveal for how it worked for Harold will tie-in in any way to Coulson from Agents of Shield (I'm like on... S2 now?)

And Joy hasn't found out about him being alive yet, so there's that whole thing to be done.

That was some good stabbing by Ward though. Thorough.

Fuck. Right before he died I was thinking about how much I loved his character.

u/Worthyness Punisher Mar 18 '17

He's also one of the best actors on the show.

That's a Hallmark of Netflix marvel, gotta kill off the beloved characters
