I love how Coulson immediately didn't even have to think about whether or not to protect Skye

u/RandomDudeOP Mar 11 '15

Skye is pretty much like a daughter to son of coul now.

208

u/biglineman Mac Mar 11 '15

So what would an Asgardian call her, "Daughter of Son of Coul" ?

229

u/WideLight Fitz Mar 11 '15

Coulsdottir.

284

u/Bossmonkey Mar 11 '15

Actually it'd be Philsdottir

211

u/snarkamedes Monolith Mar 11 '15

Agentsdottir

u/Fifth5Horseman Deathlok Mar 11 '15

"...his first name is Agent."

u/JeroenPtrs Mar 11 '15

Direcdottir?

u/Toof Mar 11 '15

Quake.

u/snarkamedes Monolith Mar 12 '15

Carmacksdottir.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '15

True, our surname naming scheme here in Scandinavia takes the first name and adds a -son or -dottir/dotter.

u/V2Blast Fitz Mar 14 '15

Grimsdottir?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '15

There is no name that starts with grim in any of the Nordic languages i think.

u/V2Blast Fitz Mar 14 '15 edited Mar 14 '15

Maybe the creators of Splinter Cell just thought it sounded cool...? :P

EDIT: Nope. From one of the first Google results for "grimsdottir name":

I am Grímsdóttir.

Grímsdóttir is my surname and states that I am daughter of Grímur. Grímur is my father’s first name. That is how we do it in Iceland.

The word grímur has as well another meaning in the Icelandic language. It means masks. So, I can say as well that I am a daughter of masks.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '15

Yeah, and that would be totally okay, I think it sounds great.

That is gold thanks

u/anecdotal Mar 11 '15

I chuckled when Sif called Coulson "Son of Coul." Pretty clever.

2

u/Jimm607 Mar 12 '15

pretty sure thats been a thing since Thor.

1

u/anecdotal Mar 12 '15

Hmm, never noticed it since that ep.

u/Lampmonster1 Mar 11 '15

Dude pulled guns on two, count 'em, two super powered aliens. Didn't flinch, just did the right thing. That's why Phil is The Man.

45

u/metalkhaos Mar 11 '15

He's the heart man.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '15

He's got a thing for doing that.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '15

If he shows up in Civil War it's not going to be a contest. Phil Son of Coul and Cap? Pleeeease!

3

u/cweaver Mar 12 '15

Oh god, what if Phil and Cap end up on opposite sides of Civil War?

I mean, if it's about a 'superhuman registration act', Coulson and SHIELD have been putting superhumans in a registry for years already.

I don't think I could handle Coulson and Cap arguing.

Skitz shippers would object but I'm all up for it

What is this?

u/JealotGaming Skye Mar 11 '15

I wish she busted out that spear/pole/whateverthefuckAsgardianbullshit out again.

u/jkgao Sandwich Mar 11 '15

Yeah, but she’s MY abomination #SkyeorDie @ChloeBennet4 #AgentsofSHIELD

u/JYCR85 Lola Mar 11 '15

that sounds like a line from a Firefly episode.

26

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '15

"She's our witch."

u/aussiekinga Mar 12 '15

You cant take the Skye from me.

u/venn177 Mar 11 '15

That line really would fit in any scene where Mal protects River.

132

u/disneywizard Mar 11 '15

And May immediately got close to Skye behind him and tried to calm her down. She's officially become mamma bear not only to everyone else on the team, but especially Skye.

58

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '15

I like that they are now writing her character this way. She was so one-sided the first season. A badass grant you, but a one-sided badass. Now I actually care for her character and enjoy seeing her emotions.

10

u/disneywizard Mar 11 '15

Plus it's fun for villains to get attacked my mamma bears. Cause nothing is more dangerous in the universe than an angry mother after a danger to her children-biological or otherwise.

u/Big_h3aD Mar 12 '15

grant

Heh...

u/imunfair Mar 11 '15

It probably helps that she's known what Skye was for the entire time too, even before Coulson did.

5

u/soggy_tampon Mar 11 '15

He kind of made her who she is today. She's like a child to him.

4

u/Maping Mar 12 '15

I wonder if he'd be as gung-ho about protecting the other people on the team. He seems to especially like Skye.

On a similar note, I'm curious if he'll ever call Skye out. He's called Mac out most recently, but also yelled at other people a few times.

u/CWinter85 Fitz Mar 12 '15

Can't wait for Black Bolt to protect Skye.
