Warning: spoilers!

The text contains revelations for those who have not seen the episode that passed on November 18 on American TV!

Recent discoveries about the plot of the Marvel's Agents of SHIELD series give new clues and indicate possible avenues for the future of Marvel's fictional universe, both on TV and in theaters.

As fans could imagine, everything is connected and part of the same universe, and the series gave more samples of how it can pave the story for the upcoming studio films, linking SHIELD's "mundane" reality with extraterrestrial and intergalactic themes.

The greatest proof of this is the confirmation of the origin of the blue alien that provided the GH325 serum and the revelation that the alien writing indicated the plant of a secret city on earth!

The Alien Body in Agents of SHIELD

If before we saw Agents of SHIELD connect with narratives by Thor and especially Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier (with the rise of Hydra), we now see the series taking an even bigger and bolder step by connecting with the theme. Cosmic of Guardians of the Galaxy and Inhumans .

In the last episodes: alien writing and Daniel Whitehall

In the most recent episodes of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, we accompany Coulson in his quest for an answer to the alien writings that emerged as a reaction to GH325 serum.

Phil found that they indicated the blueprint of a city, a secret place that was directed by the alien serum in his organism. The agent explained the fixation of people injected with the serum as "lost pigeons without guidance, " who had only a partial reference to where they should go.

At the present moment of the series, SHIELD rushes to find the city before Hydra, as Daniel Whitehall also seeks the place to unravel the mysteries of the Obelisk, the metallic object that can only be touched by a few "special" beings.

In the episode "The Things We Bury, " which aired November 18 on American TV, we learned more about Whitehall's past, how he has been trapped at SHIELD's premises since Agent Carter's time . During all these years Daniel did indeed grow old, but thanks to a serum made from a woman who was able to touch the obelisk without dying, Whitehall was able to reverse his aging process.

At the present time, Whitehall finds new allies for his mission, with Ward's recruitment and the arrival of the Doctor, Skye's father. It is the Doctor who brings new information about the Obelisk and the mysterious city, suggesting that the object is a kind of key that, if carried to the city by a “special” being able to touch it, can unleash all its power. .

In the final moments of this episode, there is still a revelation about the Doctor's past in a scene that shows him finding his wife's body and vowing revenge for his death. It is suggested that Skye's mother was the woman who could touch the Obelisk without dying and had her life “sucked in” by Whitehall - so the Doctor is actually wanting revenge on Whitehall and not Coulson!

As this whole plot unfolds, Coulson finally manages to locate the mysterious city, creating a huge expectation for the next episode of the series, to be aired December 2 by ABC in the United States.

The alien race and the city of Attilan!

But what city is this? Why would an alien being be looking for a place on Earth? It seems that we are facing the introduction of a new set of the Marvel universe, which will be an important part of the company's future stories.

Marvel confirmed that in the episode of next December 2, fans will find that the alien body, first seen at Guest House station last season of the series and from which the GH325 serum (with which Coulson was derived) was derived. injected), is even of Kree origin - the race of the character Ronan, the Accuser of the Guardians of the Galaxy !

In the long-awaited episode of the series, Raina will announce for the first time the alien's Kree origin as we learn more about the character's motivations and secrets. As we have already seen, Raina has a keen interest in the themes of evolution, something that is rooted for generations in her family.

In addition, Raina could touch the Obelisk without consequences, which suggests something special about her as well. Actress Chloe Bennet, who plays Skye, suggested in a recent interview that we found out that Raina and Skye have something in common - would it be a Kree genetic coding?

Do Skye and Raina share something in common?

These clues about the presence of alien genes corroborate the theory that the Agents of SHIELD series is introducing elements from the history of the Inhumans .

In the Marvel comics universe, the Inhumans were the result of Kree's experiments on human life. After the Kree abandoned experiments on humans, the new superpowered creatures founded a hidden city called Attilan .

Is this where Coulson and his team are going? And what can they find there? The definitive answers only come with the December 2 episode, but speculation about how the series pave the narrative for future Marvel movies continues.

Some say that Scarlet Witch and Mercury, characters to be seen in The Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron, will be explained as Inhumans in the movie, as Marvel has no right to use mutants in their shared universe (because the X-Men are under license from Fox).

At the same time, it makes sense for Marvel to begin early on to explain the origin of the Inhumans, even though the movie about these characters is scheduled for November 2018 only. It's a great way to slowly introduce these figures to the public at the same time. in which it keeps the studio's fictional universe interconnected and cohesive.
