yeah!! too bad she went on to become:
mcu's first female protagonist
mcu’s first female superhero
mcu’s first female superhero with superpowers
mcu’s first and one of two woc protagonists
mcu’s first and one of two woc superheroes
mcu’s first and one of two superheroes with superpowers
one of the few asian characters in the mcu treated with respect
one of the few EAST asian characters in the mcu treated with respect
one of the few east asian female superheroes out there
one of the few east asian female protagonists out there
one of the few east asian female LEADS out there
yes
such a shame mcu had to turn her into all of that
#standwithquake#also if you're wondering why i emphasised the last part it's because there's a difference between protagonist and lead#and even when we're not protagonists we still struggle to get any leading roles of importance#like melinda may is not the protagonist but even getting a role like that is rare#daisy johnson#i don't care if you're also east asian if you're going to stand here and tell me she was better off as the role she played in s1#i can't fuck with you#also i'm aware she was always the protagonist even back in s1 but i'm just saying it was easier for ppl to deny back then#back when she wasn't a superhero and ppl could pretend she was just another leading member of the ensemble cast like melinda may#which in itself is still amazing#but when it became apparent she was going to be so much more? aka s2? oh no she got a personality transplant!#even though character development after everything that happened to her in s1 just...makes sense...#but whatever i could no longer minimise her role in the story to just another ensemble lead and gr*nt w*rd's love interest#boo!! take back mcu's first woc superhero!! take back one of the few east asian female superheroes out there!!#reduce her back to a role where i could pretend she was just another ensemble lead playing a great but generic character#by generic i mean as much as i would've loved her and she still would've been important#she wouldn't have had all the titles i just listed in this post#like she was always the protag but if her char didn't turn into daisy/quake...ppl saying she isn't would still have plausible deniability#her role in the story going down the way it did meant her importance was suddenly iconised and could no longer be denied#but ppl who wanna ignore the context of what her representation became wanna act like it hurt her character rather than...#helped her become all of these HUGELY NOTABLE AND FAR FEW IN BETWEEN representation out there#and obviously i never thought of her as just w*rd's love interest or coulson's supporting role but it was easier for ppl to say it before sh#e became a superhero#'i miss skye' SHE NEVER LEFT BITCH#SHE WENT ON TO BECOME...ALL OF THE THINGS I JUST LISTED
