<dramatic movie trailer voice-over> In a world of weekdays, when Thursday ends, Friday…BEGINS. Age of Animus presents: Flashback Friday! < / dramatic movie trailer voice-over>
I hope you all read that opening with the appropriate amount of gravitas. It helps to set the mood. Now that the mood is set, let’s flash it back, shall we?
At the conclusion of last week’s flashback post, I mentioned that this week’s post would be related to another comic-book-inspired television franchise. That would of course be Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. I’ve found the show to be mostly mediocre. I won’t go into detail here, but if anybody’s interested, I can deliver a more complete review in a future blog.
ANYWAY, those are my thoughts on the TV show. Now for the flashback. Agent Maria Hill only appears in two episodes of the show. She was first featured in The Avengers movie. Deema got her Avengers mash-up later than the others, so the available characters were slim. Her uniform has some similarities with the Black Widow costume. As usual, you can enlarge a picture by clicking on it.
Here’s the side-by-side comparison between the original and the remake. One thing I was surprised with looking back at the original is how many of the uniform details I managed to include.The biggest problem is that the head was too small and the arms are too long. Back then I think I was trying to depict a “realistic” lizard head with eyes on either side.
So that’s it for this week’s flashback. Next week will be Zoë’s turn back in the spotlight. Any guesses as to the costume? Feel free to leave your guesses in the comments and have a great weekend!
