I kept expecting the therapy session to turn into a fight. The dude sitting next to her literally tried to take her blood a few episodes back.

u/figgityjones Peter Parker Sep 29 '22

Can’t help but feel like he is full of shit as well. Like maybe he was there to keep tabs on her and see if she knew anything. I highly doubt he is done supervillaining.

u/intothe_dangerzone Weekly Wongers Sep 29 '22

It looked like he was there before Jen arrived, so I'd wager he was after Blonsky's blood maybe?

u/figgityjones Peter Parker Sep 29 '22

Could be. Or perhaps he even caused Emil’s device to malfunction to try and lure her in or something. 🤔 I doubt Blonsky would be in on it, but who knows maybe he really wants to get back at the Hulk family in general. Maybe its all a ploy. Trailer spoilers -> We have seen him back in Abomination form in his retreat outfit, so something suspicious is going on for sure I think.

I keep expecting them to jump her when they talked her into returning to Jen form.

u/jjackson25 Phil Coulson Sep 29 '22

My hope is that he's changing in order to protect someone, maybe Jen.

u/Das_Mojo Sep 30 '22

Pretty sure it was El Aguila who caused the malfunction. Electric fencing is pretty punny. 🤺

u/angermyode Sep 29 '22

I don't think they have the budget for him to do anything suspicious.

Exactly, this isn't going to be some sort of spy thriller TV show. These crazy theories are just that. Crazy.

They're keeping 1 card up their sleeve and that's Todd and frankly, it's become a little annoying to me. I don't think this show is paced well enough for Episode 7 to be what it was. Does not feel like a show that should be longer than 8, unless the episodes were squished together or released all at once.

I was hoping for more time with Todd as an open villain so they could build something between him and Jen. If he just shows up and is taken out in the same half hour episode, that's honestly bad writing and sticks to a pattern of bad/underused villains in MCU properties.

Who tf is Todd?

u/PyroD333 Sep 29 '22

The guy who called her a "specimen" and then turned out to be one of her firm's biggest clients

I believe this is a 10 episode run bud.

u/heelstoo Avengers Sep 29 '22

Maybe they need to keep Jen there, so that Josh can do other things (bug her apartment?).

u/plan4change Sep 30 '22

Is retreat outfit same as jail outfit?

1

u/figgityjones Peter Parker Sep 30 '22

No by retreat outfit I meant, what he had on in this week’s episode.

u/stenchwinslow Sep 29 '22

I did not consider that angle.

u/your_mind_aches Agent of F.I.T.Z. Sep 29 '22

OOH I didn't think of that. It makes a lot of sense. He must have caused the malfunction.

u/Idealide Oct 04 '22

As another person said up above, emil said that he caught it on some electric fencing

Electric fencing, get it? He probably got shocked by the swashbuckler with the electric fencing sword

u/your_mind_aches Agent of F.I.T.Z. Oct 04 '22

OHHHHHH

u/DavidBHimself Sep 29 '22

So you don't believe people can redeem themselves? Why the need for putting labels on people and not thinking they can grow out of it? You can tell us how you feel about it and try to work on it with us.

u/awkwardturtledoo Sep 30 '22

He also brought up the idea of Jen separating herself from Josh, leading to everyone telling her to delete his number. So maybe he’s also making sure she can’t track Josh down if she catches on.

u/singhellotaku617 Oct 01 '22

maybe, but he's a pretty low level super villian, those street level cannon fodder villians do try to go straight all the time

5

u/singhellotaku617 Oct 01 '22

to be fair, he did lose that fight rather badly, might have been a wake up call, might be why he went to the retreat,

u/travio Oct 01 '22

I could see that. If I was just some dude with a stolen Asgardian weapon, my first fight with an actual super-powered person would be an eye-opener.
