Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Alien City

[Shazam]

Who else is thinking that the blue alien is a Kree and that the city is Atilan, the hidden city of the Inhumans??

[BarryAllen]

Attilan is the most likely option. K'un-Lun would be an interesting twist though.

 

[Lilbaz]

Don't think it will be Attilan. As they will only cast for the main Inhumans for the film.

I do think it will be the city where the Kree experimented on humans to create Inhumans and there will be evidence of it. They will probably find that the Kree left for whatever reason but that Inhumans remain and maybe part of the population but do not realise they have the gene. This will point to Skye. Her dad will probably do a lot of the explaining.

 

[Shamgar]

I would love for it to be Attilan. But with a Inhumans movie so far away seems not very practical. k'un-lun would be interesting but why would that ancient Kree be looking for it. The only other theory that I thought of was a possible Atlantis with Namor but I doubt they would introduce that at all too much water. Very interested to see where they go with it.


-One other thing to note did you see the former agent catch the knife with his hands? That could point to possible meta-human abilities or enhanced abilities. Wonder if Coulson may start to display some enhanced abilities.

I interpreted that as just the agents latent abilities kicking in. Sort of a Bourne Identity "whoa, how did I do that?" kind of moment.

 

[Shamgar]

I can see that. I hadn't seen much of that sort of skill from a non meta-human so far in the series, minus May.

 

[BarryAllen]

Here was another idea I had that I mentioned on another thread:

http://www.comicvine.com/sky-island/4020-58633/

This city held an Inhuman offshoot race. You can introduce members of this race and save the more notable Inhumans in their movie,

 

[Shamgar]

From the hologram they showed tonight it looks pretty vast and at least three levels to it. I wonder if the obelisk is part of the key to get the city.

 

[psylockolussus]

I feel like its too early to show Attilan and even if they will eventually show it... can the show do justice to it, like with the visual effects/design?... but whatever that city is, it looks interesting.

I'm going with an abandoned Inhuman city, where some of the inhumans left to go to Attilan, and others merged back in with humans (Skye's ancestors coming from the latter).

It won't be Attilan for the reasons others stated, but it has to go somewhere. They have to find some sort of city now.

This. The said in the episode that the Host, the blue alien, was older than the pyramids themselves.

This is my number one guess as well. The race is on between Coulson's Shield and Whitehall's Hydra to find the city, and when they get there it will be abandoned ruins that give some history of the Inhumans.

I know some people are thinking that the MCU won't want such a big topic to be handled in AOS first, but I think the reverse is true: since the Inhumans are relatively unknown to the general public compared to other properties, they should be mentioned here to be put on people's radar. It can spark people's interest in reading more (even if it's just on wikipedia), or at least make the term more familiar. Just my two cents.

It's easy for me to imagine the city they showed nestled into a large valley surrounded by high mountains.

Agreed, and I'd even add that traditionally the Inhumans are introduced in other, established characters's stories (usually the Fantastic Four's) before getting their owns.

The Inhumans's own movie may be four years away, but doesn't necessarily mean we'll be seeing the Royal Family being cast only then. Black Panther's movie will only get its theatric release in 2017, but not only has the title character already been cast and will appear in a movie before, but so has the villain, apparently, with Andy Serkis looking a lot like Ulysses Klaw in the Age of Ultron teaser. Bottom line is, they may not want the Inhumans movie to be an origin one, with it being sandwiched between parts 1 and 2 of Infinity War, so they need to introduce their world and/or characters sooner than that.

 

[Comics]

The Inhumans movie could be the main outlet for this show to the MCU.

Looking at the way they already have multi-season story arcs, I can definitely see them using the show to announce Inhumans. Best way to build up the movie without injecting them in ala Black Panther into the movies established Marvel Movie Big Guns

 

[mocomic]

How about this theory.

Abandoned city of the eternals.
We know Celestials exist because of Knowhere in GOTG.
Obviously Eternals because of Thanos .

The Inhumans origin ties into Kree and ETernals

 

[H.U.S.T.L.E.]

I do think it will be the city where the Kree experimented on humans to create Inhumans and there will be evidence of it. They will probably find that the Kree left for whatever reason but that Inhumans remain and maybe part of the population but do not realise they have the gene. This will point to Skye. Her dad will probably do a lot of the explaining.

I'm thinking along this path as well. More specifically, that it's an ancient Kree outpost where they were keeping an eye on the human race (and gene experimentation that led to the Inhumans as well).

A couple of things so far make me think this:

1) The way Coulson described the urges to carve the blueprints as a type of "homing beacon" to find the city, it stands to reason that the alien had this same type of programming as well. Perhaps it was a way for the Kree to direct new people to an outpost as a type of internal map, and that carried over somehow in the genetic material in the GH-325 test subjects (with the exception of Skye).

2) In other media (comics and cartoons), there's various explanations for the Kree's presence on Earth. Sometimes it's explained that as Earth evolved they were being watched in the event that they become strong enough to be a galactic threat. Another is that in the growing conflict between the Kree & Skrulls, the expansion of their empires caused them to claim territories as their own (though in the case of Earth, it usually has its heroes rise up to thwart an alien invasion).

3) As everyone else has been speculating, I think it's definitely leading on the path of revealing the Inhumans presence on Earth and their history with the Kree. But like Lilbaz, I don't think we're going to see any of the main Inhuman Royal Family. It's much more likely that we're going to find out that the gene is mostly latent in the population, and Skye's father does seem to know what's going on so... we shall see!

 

[iambranded]

Attilan....FOR THE WIN....It would be a great way to slowly introduce the Inhumans....there more Inhumans besides Blackbolt, Medusa, Karnak and more....so introducing the lesser ones....trying to find their city and leader....would be a great back story before we get the main characters in the main movie a few years from now...
I don't think it would be an other city...introducing anybody else right now due to the phase that were in movie wise (Phase 2) going into the 3rd phase
This smells Inhumans....and I'm glad the road has started on Agents of Shield

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Coulson Neo-dodging that van door in the pilot. Anyway it's just a thrown knife, perfectly doable even in the real world.

I assumed that had more to do with his training as a SHIELD Agent (catching the knife), not with the blood.

I think that it will be an abandoned Inhuman city - and also be Attilan.

Having a super-advanced hidden city in the Inhumans movie is too similar to Thor's Asgard and especially the Black Panther's Wakanda. One plot rumor had the Inhuman royal family starting out as Kree double-agents on earth, and I think that makes more sense than starting the franchise with more royal intrigue. Later films can explore the royal family (and others) attempting to recreate their former homeland either on earth or elsewhere.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

That's what I was saying. Catching a thrown knife is within reason for a non-powered human, and would certainly be so for a trained (fictional) spy.

Coulson dodging the van door seemed like an enhanced feat the way it was presented, and that's really the only time I can remember thinking that he might have been amped from the GH serum.

 

[marcvader]

I'm happy with this being an Inhuman city but not Attilan as others have suggested. I assume the dead ancient Kree is a scientist from the time of the Inhuman experiments and the Diviner is Terrigen related and was one of his tools. It kills normal humans and transforms the ones with the gene. The Inhumans we know and love have long since left to Attilan hidden on the moon or still on earth but really hidden away.

 

[BoredGuy]

wasn't there a new Inhuman city recently revealed in the Fraction->Soule Inhuman tile??
Thought I heard that...
could be that instead of Attilan

 

[The Collector]

Well if it stands to reason that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are some descendant of inhumans or... whatever. Then introducing Kree or Inhumans now isn't necessarily out of reach for them to do.

I'm unsure if it's attilan or if the alien is Kree. It'd be entertaining as hell to throw a curveball and this city is Atlantis.

Or even more fun the Atlanteans are actually some sort of old Kree off shoot....
