Grant Ward is a great character and the AoS writers did a good job with him. Brett Dalton has the acting range, physique, charisma, charm, and looks to really pull off a complex role like this.
Yeah, Brett Dalton did an outstanding job as Grant Ward. He played 4 different versions of Grant Ward in SHIELD Ward, Hydra Ward, Hives Ward and Framework Ward. One of my favorite characters on the show.
Brett Dalton went from playing Ward the stoic hero to Ward the double agent to Ward the psychotic on-edge anti hero to Ward the full on villain and then back as a hero. Such a great actor.
ya me too.. but i never saw him as a 'villain', just misunderstood.. Even towards the end of the series when they came out of the Framework, Fitz said he himself is just like Ward..
@@simonchiang9056same bro, he was no villian, just a misunderstood guy wo Just got a lot of bad luck in live, and got bittert after the few peolpe he cared about rejected him!👌
Ward was my favourite character form Agents Of SHIELD. Although I loved the storyline of him being an Hydra agent, I really miss him with the team and what could have happens between him and Skye. I had always hope him to regret his loyalty to Garrett and making it up everything he did wrong. And, of course, Ward coming back to his SHIELD's team.
He was a good guy who owed to very bad people. His parents, big brother had destroyed him already. Unlucky him, the one to rescue him was also a moster.
They didn't need to show him in Season 7, because it's clear that he was going to get his happy ending by growing up to be a loyal SHIELD agent in the alternate timeline.
@@DayFlounder ah, but in that same conversation, Coulson says that they have seen a reality where Ward grew up to be a loyal Agent because Victoria Hand recruited him instead of Garrett. With Garrett gone, Hand is most likely going to be the one to recruit Ward into SHIELD and train him to be a loyal agent.
@@Unversed333 who knows if hand would’ve found him because the gimmick of the framework its that it fixes one regret or bad thing of the user, so maybe things would play out differently
To this day I’m still not sure if Ward felt anything for the team. Was it an act? Was he genuine? Was he truly conflicted? Was he struggling with his psychopathy? Did the rage stick impact him more than we thought? He’s complex and I’m all for it
I know your comment is old but I just started watching the show im on season 3. Personally I feel like Ward did care for the team in his own way even after betraying them but after agent 33 died he wanted them to feel his pain and misery as well.
This actor really did great you know. Grant Ward was just carried away by Hydra. The other version of him in framework really appreciate being on good side and understanding people. Coulson told Kora in last season that they see that they been to place where they see Ward as good man and believe he can be that in real world again. That Agent who save them after been teleport really did good in shooting John Garrett. That shows Victoria Hand will have a chance in the real world to help Grant Ward become like he was in the framework.
It's so sad that if the team had just given Ward another chance in season 2, Ward might have ended up being a really great agent again, and maybe even being part of the team.
@@destyneeluvene8168 Depends on the character Fitz: cause he wanted to and Ward nearly killed him Simmons: Ward nearly killed Fitz Skye: she loved him and he betrayed her May: pride, anger over being tricked, anger over the sexual relationship she and Ward had Coulson: pride, anger over being tricked, anger that he didn't see it coming
@@destyneeluvene8168 by the time Ward was revealed to be a Hydra agent, the original gang had a family bond with each other. When Ward betrayed them, he broke the bond. The rest were still fine but they were never going to be whole again because of Ward's actions. Sure he could have been redeemed and even come back but the bond was never going to be the same. This even happens in real life where someone in a family will cause a lot of drama and come back later. Things just don't remain the same once someone breaks it. Also Ward was pissed at Mockingbird because he was in a relationship with Kara and wanted revenge for capturing Kara to the point she was tortured.
@@arsenal4739 Ward didn't betray them. That would be like saying Bobby betrayed Hydra when she helped Simmons escape and killed some Hydra Agents in doing so. Ward did his job, just like Bobby and Simmons did. Its hypocrisy that they label Ward a bad guy for fulfilling his mission when they constantly do the exact same things he does.
@@abongilezolanipeterson5588 nah, Ward did betray them. He even admitted that he did. You are right that he did his job, however he betrayed the family bond the original gang had. He knew this, and still went ahead with it because of his loyalty to his mentor(forgot his name lol). You’re also correct about Bobby. I think it’s just a matter of perspective, from your POV if you are Hydra and Bobby turns on you and reveals they are working for the enemy, you’d see it as a sort of betrayal even though they were a spy in the first place. If you’re Bobby, you are kind of betraying them since you did swear your loyalty to the group, even though you was working for SHIELD in the first place. Idk, that’s how I see it. Whatever it is though, Ward did still betray the gang and the bond they all had and ruined it.
Even though I hate what Ward did and the reasons he did it, I can't help but respect him for who he is and especially his fighting skills. Just imagine what he could've been if he were an Inhuman or Enhanced with a Serum.
Yeah. In superhero media I always think about what the super skilled agents like Shield agents or characters like Batman and Robin’s could do with any kind of superpowers. Considering that they’ve been fighting against the super powers as well as they have they’d probably be unstoppable with them. Like if Ward had a serum he’d be on the same level as Captain America or something close to that considering that he was already strong before having a serum.
@@Sicruett my logic is that Ward's probably on the same level, or near the same level as Crossbones, who fought on par with Cap multiple times. Especially when you take into account that Coulson's initial team was made up of agents who were the best in their respective fields. By that logic, Ward without serum could probably give Cap a fight. Ward with serum would be more dangerous than the Winter Soldier, since he was already a Winter Soldier by training and indoctrination.
@@rickyk4583 I disagree that Ward would be able to fight Cap without having a serum of his own and Rumlow for that matter. Rumlow + 10 other hydra agents were still easily dispatched by Steve. He’s just as skilled as them but has enhanced physical abilities that they simply can’t compete with. With the serum, Ward would probably be on the same level as Bucky, who is only slightly weaker than Steve.
@@Sicruett yea I can follow your logic too honestly. It makes sense to me, especially considering no one can be as powerful as Steve as he had the only existing Erskine serum. Bucky and the other Winter Soldiers' were knockoffs, so on that point Ward's maximum level would basiclly be Bucky's.
For anyone who has seen The Bad Batch series, does Crosshair remind anyone else of Ward? Specifically the S1-2A Ward? Cause for me, he kind of does with his whole "join the Empire and you will have purpose" thing
Yeah, I was thinking of the Ward/Crosshair comparison. The difference is that after he makes his bed and sleeps in it, Crosshair goes through a lot of positive character development and rejoins his brothers.
Gotta say even though he started off as this stoic hero who really did feel like a true hero.He has so much complexity coming from a damaged past, I honestly do feel that he doesn't do what he does by choice but simply because he has to in another sense he was made this way
In my opinion, Grant is the best character in the MCU. The writers for this series did alot of risky moves for Ward: Making him the bland lone wolf. The way they redeem it is by making them grow instantly. Sudden plot twist with near-no foreshadowing of it, instantly fixed by explaining the whole thing at once. The actions Ward does clearly has consequences. *Everyone* that was part of the original group hated him to bits and wanted him *dead².* And when Ward regains a spouse, even when not aiming to get rid of attachments, he does it anyway and loses them. Its a surprisingly tragic character who's motive is clear. Not commendable but understandable. Despite all of the misery Ward has caused he still gets his redemption that he does actually deserve. The sad part is that _he_ doesn't even get their redemption, the AI version of him does. He's tragic not just because of the same lesson of not being attached being taught to him throughout all of his life. The life he deserves he doesn't get, but this copy of him that gets deleted too. For Grant, it's only loss. This is MARVEL. The origin of that terrible green abnormality named "SheHulk".
What was so great about Ward as a character was that you thought you got somebody presented as the uptight boy scout who got more and more pressed over time when actually he was an enemy sleeper willing to do whatever he could to make his terrible mentor-who took advantage of his both fragile state and tragic childhood to mold him-happy (with Ward still clearly having morals and feelings of his own despite those things). That betrayal cut so deep with the team that none of them had willingness to try to get to the center of the problem and actually be opened to guiding him in the right direction (deeming his past didn't have an effect on the choices he made now and that he was somebody they'd always thought was beyond saving), but then this all changed not only when he died and their latest enemy took his form; his memories and his experiences on-as well as was enabled to do so because Coulson killed Ward in vengeance, but because they all got forced into a world where their past regrets changed who they were and saw a Ward who got to be a good person because a mentor who cared was there for him instead. In that world, their lives all went wrong while his in turn went right all due to circumstances not character and as a result, things became far less Black and White. * They saw and acknowledged the humanity in the man they could've known rather than the man they did-that it was more than just his actions that defined him-and that did make the difference in being able to process and be able to live with those things. That he got a second chance through a magical program to be able to prove himself to those he let down was an amazing thing and I'll always appreciate and admire it-even though it came way too late and he ultimately didn't stick around (while also getting another chance in another life somewhere else too, so there's that as well).
I threw shield on back in 2018 and I am a huge marvel fan but this show flew under by radar until summer of 2018. I had binged a lot of shows on Netflix that summer of 2018 and I threw shield on one day just to test the waters w/ season 1 and halfway through I was a little bit interested but was also at a point of not keeping up on the hype train b/c I did look up reviews b4 I finished season 1 and when I read that this show has gone in many great stories and plot lines. I was still skeptical until Wards betrayal b/c I had an off feeling about Ward as I was catching up to season 4 at the time on Netflix b/c season 5 was months away from dropping on Netflix but after the Ward reveal. I just could not stop watching this show and I think I ended up getting to the end of season 4 in one week and the framework arc was so damn good which made me even more in love w/ this show and after the frame work and season 4 wrapped on Netflix for me. I then waited for season 5 to drop on Netflix and then season 6 and then season 7 and I’m glad that I made that decision to put the pilot episode on that summer and accidentally making myself fall in love w/ this amazing show.
Ward is season 4 was a whole another reaction ward thought his life was over until someone came to him Victoria hand telling ward he can be a better person and wow coulson tell kora not to kill him becuase they saw another reality of ward being a good person I hope we get more of these characters in the future.
Well, in that timeline, Garrett is dead and Hydra's presence is known to SHIELD. And with Victoria Hand there, it's likely that Ward will be recruited by her, and train him to be a loyal Agent.
Wow so crazy that you just made this. I've been looking for this to show my wife. I watched the show from the start as it aired with my family and I'm rewatching it again. My wife doesn't care much for it but she's the same personality type as ward but the extroverted version. (I promise were not those people it's just funny that her personality type is always the villian)
The thing is im only on seson 5 and i really wanted hydra ward (the one who loved skye for the first time not framework or hive) and redeam him self, so watching this and seeing that he doesnt is quite sad.
@@justanothercatcrazyperson6136 RIGHTTT😭 or even if he stayed bad they could have at least detained him instead of killing him😭😭or maybe find a way to time travel
@@destyneeluvene8168 totally agree 😭😭, but didn’t coulson killed him to get back at killing Rosalind, so idk? but if they time traveled when would they go back to? Because Ward was in hydra since he was a teen and they can’t go back to when he was a child. 😭😭He was such a good character😭😭
@@justanothercatcrazyperson6136 idk I haven’t seen all the series bc I’m too heartbroken knowing he dies😭 But I saw that coulson gave him a chance to leave free so maybe he should’ve took it and stayed away. Or maybe Skye or Fitz could’ve convinced him whenever they were with each other on the mission again. Bc it seemed like he was good then. Perhaps they could’ve forgave him or something
It kind of urks me that Ward wasn't in the final seasons and given a redemption.. He literally carried the start of this show during seasons 1-3 when he was revealed to be Hydra b/c that's when the show really became so interesting and engaging to watch.. Even though he was in a couple eps during the Framework, i feel like he should have been in the final episodes. Going from good to bad and then good again would've been a better ending to his character arc. I will always stand with Ward
It's really sad because you really get a feeling sometimes that if the team had done things differently after garrett died, he could have possibly been persuaded to be good again. Not that he really is all that redeemable to be honest, he's done some pretty awful things. But it still makes you wonder if there was somehow a path that could have allowed redemption to happen. But overall, I'm happy with the overall direction the show played out as.
So happy he didn’t get a redemption arc because that would have disrupted his story. So amazing how the writers show that purpose was something he used to remove himself from his past traumas, but this purpose was what would eventually lead to his downfall once it clashed with the good in him. It’s so fascinating to think that despite all the evil deeds he committed, Ward barely had time to live on his own terms, and it is because of this that I genuinely do feel sorry for him, years later.
I like the progression up until upon season 3, you could kind of tell they didn't have much for him to contribute to the plot anymore, or did want him to be part of it significantly.
He is literally the ‘I can heal him’ type of villain… everyone hates him for what he did to the team, and I do feel bad at first. But I just want to say the initial group( season 1) had the best vibe ever, and that’s why I hope they can get Brett back…
Skye and ward should have ended up together. If they can go back in time and pull out an agent Suza from the 30s or 40s, they could have pulled out ward before he turned evil. Really annoyed they avoided Ward during time travel, the real Skye would always want to rescue him from evil and pain. In my imagination, she goes back and saves him, and they end up together.
Well they were on a mission and couldn't stop wherever they wanted. Sousa was an unplanned leap. Besides they didn't know the had entered an alternate timeline yet so taking Ward could have messed things up.
I personally don't think Ward just turned evil one day is a collection of things from what happened with his brother to his time in juvie to getting recruited into Hydra and everything that happened afterwards, and I don't think he was right for Daisy, but I respect your opinion on the matter
@@patax144 To be fair, the framework showed us a timeline where things *did* work out. The pivotal catalyst of Ward’s downfall appears to be when Garrett roped him in, since in the framework Victoria had recruited him and he turned out to be the ‘best version of himself’, even having what certainly looks like a happy and healthy relationship with his own Skye/Daisy. I could just be biased though since I always thought the chemistry between Ward and Skye/Daisy was surreal
If Simmon didn't try to kill him in season 2, the story would've been different for Ward... I hate Simmon at that time, she was truly reckless... Nice Editing by the way.. really beautiful..
Also I know they are reoccurring and more minor characters, but Davis and Piper were awesome in letter seasons; it would be cool to see them in something more as well; just a thought.
Grand Watd est et restera toujours pour moi le meilleur personnage produit par marvrl et objectivement un des meilleurs personnage toute série confondu. Il fut di complexe à suivre. Ont s'attendait tous à le voir obtenir une rédemption cliché et bon szng suelle bonne surprise de le voir accepter totalement hydra et devenir un si grand antagoniste. Beaucoup pense sue Ward aurais pu à peu de choses près retourner du côté du SHIELD. et même si je duis déçu su'il ne doit pas revenu via les voyages dans le temps, je duis satisfait de l'avoir vu devenir l'aitre face de la pièce su'il c'est tant plu à décrire dans le meilleur épisode de la série.
Brett Dalton would be a great actor to play as young man CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN underrated actor.. i wish NETFLIX would RELEASE new tv series...... AOS Hawaii five'O Criminal minds Chicago Pd L&O:SVU
the way he managed to make me hate his guts is a testament to how great of a character he is. Every time he tried to appeal to the others' emotions I just wanted his nazi ass off my screen, but not because he was bad, because of how good od a character he was.
I feel like too many people make excuses for him. He's a great villain but omg he is such a sociopath! I don't know why I keep seeing people defending him online!
Sociopath might be a bit strong but definitivly a bad guy. I think its mostly people seeing what could have been, had things been different then he might have had a great redemtion ark
I wish they didn’t make him evil, and I wish they didn’t give Sky powers. The show was good when it was regular people with specialized training who could take on the crazy Marvel world
Yeah, I think about this a lot. How one person steered him in a direction that could have changed everything. Victory could have help him become what he was in the Framework. I feel like he did so many bad things but he was really truly alone and like an injured cornered animal or something... Trying to grab onto something - in IRL Ward just kept grabbing to dark/evil things until he buried himself. There was no way out. I wished they hadn't made him evil too. Makes me sad!

Exactly yes
kudos to Brett Dalton he played so many different "characters" on the show
Yeah, Brett Dalton did an outstanding job as Grant Ward. He played 4 different versions of Grant Ward in SHIELD Ward, Hydra Ward, Hives Ward and Framework Ward. One of my favorite characters on the show.
But *always* the same *body* XD
Brett Dalton went from playing Ward the stoic hero to Ward the double agent to Ward the psychotic on-edge anti hero to Ward the full on villain and then back as a hero.
Such a great actor.
Plus his stint as Hive, Hive as Will Daniels, Hive as Nathanial Malick

mine too

Yeah True 👍
He was a good guy who owed to very bad people. His parents, big brother had destroyed him already. Unlucky him, the one to rescue him was also a moster.
nobody understood him😢
He just wanted to be loved and supported
Ironic how he died a Hydra believer despite not initially caring about the organisation in the first place
That's what you call true character development. The best in the MCU's entirety in my honest opinion
When I see Ward from Season 1...I just feel sad :(
Ward just needed therapy
Agreed. Seriously they offered cutting open his head and erasing his memories over therapy.
And someone who could have molded that pain he endured at the hands of his family into something more.

R.I.P Bill Paxton (John Garret), and Powers Boothe (Gideon Malik).

Two Mentors for Grand Ward

He needs more roles. He's a fantastic actor and is underrated.. Give the man more roles...This proves he can play the GOOD AND BAD GUY.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ward deserved better than what the show gave him.
He was originally going to be killed in S1 finale but they decided to keep him around a bit longer as they believed they could do more with him.
No way. He got EXACTLY what he deserved. I'm actually glad he never got a reception arc....unless you count his counterpart.
Gotta say even though he started off as this stoic hero who really did feel like a true hero.He has so much complexity coming from a damaged past, I honestly do feel that he doesn't do what he does by choice but simply because he has to in another sense he was made this way
Framework Ward should have escaped just like ADA. That would have been so cool.
I always thought the same, I was hoping that would be his reintroduction in AOS
Ward is one of my favorite characters in AoS, surpassed only by Fitz and Daisy. Really good video
Best character in the entire show
You pronounced Leopold Fitz incorrectly

Thanks for doing my suggestion
My pleasure 💙 Ward was a very difficult and nuanced character to capture, I hope I did him justice!
My fav character in "Agents of Shield"!
My favourite villain ever! His character had so many layers and Brett Dalton showcased them all to perfection
What was so great about Ward as a character was that you thought you got somebody presented as the uptight boy scout who got more and more pressed over time when actually he was an enemy sleeper willing to do whatever he could to make his terrible mentor-who took advantage of his both fragile state and tragic childhood to mold him-happy (with Ward still clearly having morals and feelings of his own despite those things).

In that world, their lives all went wrong while his in turn went right all due to circumstances not character and as a result, things became far less Black and White.

They saw and acknowledged the humanity in the man they could've known rather than the man they did-that it was more than just his actions that defined him-and that did make the difference in being able to process and be able to live with those things. That he got a second chance through a magical program to be able to prove himself to those he let down was an amazing thing and I'll always appreciate and admire it-even though it came way too late and he ultimately didn't stick around (while also getting another chance in another life somewhere else too, so there's that as well).
I have just no words...absolutely brilliant editing!!!!!
I threw shield on back in 2018 and I am a huge marvel fan but this show flew under by radar until summer of 2018. I had binged a lot of shows on Netflix that summer of 2018 and I threw shield on one day just to test the waters w/ season 1 and halfway through I was a little bit interested but was also at a point of not keeping up on the hype train b/c I did look up reviews b4 I finished season 1 and when I read that this show has gone in many great stories and plot lines. I was still skeptical until Wards betrayal b/c I had an off feeling about Ward as I was catching up to season 4 at the time on Netflix b/c season 5 was months away from dropping on Netflix but after the Ward reveal. I just could not stop watching this show and I think I ended up getting to the end of season 4 in one week and the framework arc was so damn good which made me even more in love w/ this show and after the frame work and season 4 wrapped on Netflix for me. I then waited for season 5 to drop on Netflix and then season 6 and then season 7 and I’m glad that I made that decision to put the pilot episode on that summer and accidentally making myself fall in love w/ this amazing show.
This makes me saddd😭 i miss him so much😔
Killmonger ward and bucky are my 3 favorite mcu characters
You know what I REALLY wanted this video to be created thank you very much!!!!!!!
He was one of my favorites
Woooo yesss I was looking forward to this video!!!
He became one of my favorite characters after he was revealed as Hydra. Such a badass.
hail hydra
Spartab Racer Hail Hydra ✊🏾!
Seriously….. I hope ur joking you Nazis
Ward is season 4 was a whole another reaction ward thought his life was over until someone came to him Victoria hand telling ward he can be a better person and wow coulson tell kora not to kill him becuase they saw another reality of ward being a good person I hope we get more of these characters in the future.
Well, in that timeline, Garrett is dead and Hydra's presence is known to SHIELD. And with Victoria Hand there, it's likely that Ward will be recruited by her, and train him to be a loyal Agent.
The character of Grand Ward was one of the best in this production
SOOOOOO SAD😭😭😭~Everything was such so beautiful and perfect before Ward finally changed💔. Thank you for the AMAZING VIDEO❤👍!!!
Thank you for making Grant ward
damn i miss ward
Wow so crazy that you just made this. I've been looking for this to show my wife. I watched the show from the start as it aired with my family and I'm rewatching it again. My wife doesn't care much for it but she's the same personality type as ward but the extroverted version. (I promise were not those people it's just funny that her personality type is always the villian)
He could of been good but he did the biggest betrayal I cried and shocked
The thing is im only on seson 5 and i really wanted hydra ward (the one who loved skye for the first time not framework or hive) and redeam him self, so watching this and seeing that he doesnt is quite sad.
Samee!!😭
@@destyneeluvene8168 he should have at least had a redemption ark 😭😭😭
@@justanothercatcrazyperson6136 RIGHTTT😭 or even if he stayed bad they could have at least detained him instead of killing him😭😭or maybe find a way to time travel
@@destyneeluvene8168 totally agree 😭😭, but didn’t coulson killed him to get back at killing Rosalind, so idk? but if they time traveled when would they go back to? Because Ward was in hydra since he was a teen and they can’t go back to when he was a child. 😭😭He was such a good character😭😭
@@justanothercatcrazyperson6136 idk I haven’t seen all the series bc I’m too heartbroken knowing he dies😭 But I saw that coulson gave him a chance to leave free so maybe he should’ve took it and stayed away. Or maybe Skye or Fitz could’ve convinced him whenever they were with each other on the mission again. Bc it seemed like he was good then. Perhaps they could’ve forgave him or something
It kind of urks me that Ward wasn't in the final seasons and given a redemption.. He literally carried the start of this show during seasons 1-3 when he was revealed to be Hydra b/c that's when the show really became so interesting and engaging to watch.. Even though he was in a couple eps during the Framework, i feel like he should have been in the final episodes. Going from good to bad and then good again would've been a better ending to his character arc. I will always stand with Ward
Even if they wanted to bring him back, he probably wasn't available.
I wish they continued the show. I would love to be apart of it.
May you do the evolution of Melinda May? thx
It's really sad because you really get a feeling sometimes that if the team had done things differently after garrett died, he could have possibly been persuaded to be good again. Not that he really is all that redeemable to be honest, he's done some pretty awful things. But it still makes you wonder if there was somehow a path that could have allowed redemption to happen. But overall, I'm happy with the overall direction the show played out as.
So happy he didn’t get a redemption arc because that would have disrupted his story. So amazing how the writers show that purpose was something he used to remove himself from his past traumas, but this purpose was what would eventually lead to his downfall once it clashed with the good in him. It’s so fascinating to think that despite all the evil deeds he committed, Ward barely had time to live on his own terms, and it is because of this that I genuinely do feel sorry for him, years later.
I like the progression up until upon season 3, you could kind of tell they didn't have much for him to contribute to the plot anymore, or did want him to be part of it significantly.
He was my fav character from the beginning! I miss him being a good guy!
13:16 i wish Victoria Hand had saved her😭😭
I know he was a villain but he could be good ...
10:30 biggest truth of life and how it is
He is literally the ‘I can heal him’ type of villain… everyone hates him for what he did to the team, and I do feel bad at first. But I just want to say the initial group( season 1) had the best vibe ever, and that’s why I hope they can get Brett back…
Skye and ward should have ended up together.
If they can go back in time and pull out an agent Suza from the 30s or 40s, they could have pulled out ward before he turned evil.
Really annoyed they avoided Ward during time travel, the real Skye would always want to rescue him from evil and pain.
In my imagination, she goes back and saves him, and they end up together.
Well they were on a mission and couldn't stop wherever they wanted. Sousa was an unplanned leap. Besides they didn't know the had entered an alternate timeline yet so taking Ward could have messed things up.
You are delusional then
Lincoln❤️
I personally don't think Ward just turned evil one day is a collection of things from what happened with his brother to his time in juvie to getting recruited into Hydra and everything that happened afterwards, and I don't think he was right for Daisy, but I respect your opinion on the matter
@@patax144 To be fair, the framework showed us a timeline where things *did* work out. The pivotal catalyst of Ward’s downfall appears to be when Garrett roped him in, since in the framework Victoria had recruited him and he turned out to be the ‘best version of himself’, even having what certainly looks like a happy and healthy relationship with his own Skye/Daisy. I could just be biased though since I always thought the chemistry between Ward and Skye/Daisy was surreal
If Simmon didn't try to kill him in season 2, the story would've been different for Ward... I hate Simmon at that time, she was truly reckless...
Nice Editing by the way.. really beautiful..
The Marvel Multiverse is a pathway to some abilities some considers to be unnatural, including his return.
Great vid! Will you be doing individual ones for Mack, Yo-yo, Bobbi, and Hunter eventually? Those would be great to see
I would love to do them eventually!
Oh man also Lincoln?
@@knoote9684 maybe, don't have concrete plans for that yet!
I know I mentioned a lot of characters, but it would also be cool if u ever managed to do one for Antoine Triplett,
Also I know they are reoccurring and more minor characters, but Davis and Piper were awesome in letter seasons; it would be cool to see them in something more as well; just a thought.
He's my favourite character and also my favourite villain of MCU! 💀😈
Hail Hydra 💀🐙
Making him a bad guy was a mistake. He should've stayed with the team.
Grand Watd est et restera toujours pour moi le meilleur personnage produit par marvrl et objectivement un des meilleurs personnage toute série confondu. Il fut di complexe à suivre. Ont s'attendait tous à le voir obtenir une rédemption cliché et bon szng suelle bonne surprise de le voir accepter totalement hydra et devenir un si grand antagoniste. Beaucoup pense sue Ward aurais pu à peu de choses près retourner du côté du SHIELD. et même si je duis déçu su'il ne doit pas revenu via les voyages dans le temps, je duis satisfait de l'avoir vu devenir l'aitre face de la pièce su'il c'est tant plu à décrire dans le meilleur épisode de la série.
thank you i love your videos
Damn. I love super villians and Grant Ward is super hot!
Huh, bill Paxton(John Garret) and powers booth (Gideon malick) both were in the movie tombstone
12:46 wow
13:51 😭😭😭😫😩😔
ward the best of this series.
This man is so GOATED that I randomly thought about him and the show in the shower
You know the character is well written and the actor has done justice to that writing when you hate him with all your heart
My Fourth Favorite Character on Agents of Shield.
14:09 😭by "us" you dont mean "me"
Damn I miss him but was so sad
One of the characters is really really liked on this show
he didnt need a redemption arc, but I wish they figured out a way to keep him around as someone who played both sides
Brett Dalton would be a great actor to play as young man CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN
underrated actor.. i wish NETFLIX would RELEASE new tv series......
AOS
Hawaii five'O
Criminal minds
Chicago Pd
L&O:SVU
the way he managed to make me hate his guts is a testament to how great of a character he is. Every time he tried to appeal to the others' emotions I just wanted his nazi ass off my screen, but not because he was bad, because of how good od a character he was.
Nazi? Lmfao that's a new one
4:58 does anyone know the name of the actor?
Is there like a first page drain today ? I'm sure he'd be able to deliver the message
I feel like too many people make excuses for him. He's a great villain but omg he is such a sociopath! I don't know why I keep seeing people defending him online!
Sociopath might be a bit strong but definitivly a bad guy. I think its mostly people seeing what could have been, had things been different then he might have had a great redemtion ark
I still don't understand of he Is good or evil, i've Just seen the episode 16 of the First season🤔🤔🤔
I wish they didn’t make him evil, and I wish they didn’t give Sky powers. The show was good when it was regular people with specialized training who could take on the crazy Marvel world
Agreed, I was so mad when i just found out ward was evil…it made me lose interest in the show
@@JennaRose957 Season 4 Made Justice for him That is the Version of him what He could have become if He choose a other path
Yeah, I think about this a lot. How one person steered him in a direction that could have changed everything. Victory could have help him become what he was in the Framework. I feel like he did so many bad things but he was really truly alone and like an injured cornered animal or something... Trying to grab onto something - in IRL Ward just kept grabbing to dark/evil things until he buried himself. There was no way out. I wished they hadn't made him evil too. Makes me sad!
Ward had vision
Cool video
Is there a history i need to get right ?
could I ask you if you can make a video of the evolution of daisy and ward please
I was shocked When i found out he was hydra
I haven't finished watching the show and I can't find it. :(((((
I likes him! Good and bad!
Let's go
I kind of lost interest in the show after Ward died.
Miguel Meija Holguin he is arguably the best villain in the MCU, of course you lost interest aftef he passed.
Even as HIVE he was killing it.
Hunter
