I’ve really tried not to notice, but try as I might, I can’t help but see that there’s a lot of eye candy in the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, both male and female. Now I’ma focus on the women, as I’m wont to do. You got Skye/Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, Melinda May, Bobbi Morse, and I’ll even toss Maria Hill into the mix. Fellas, ladies and germs, which of these Agents would you most like to, you know, personally introduce to your little Mjölnir? ---

There are women on that show other than Melinda May? ---

I feel like you could have added the men to the poll, without it hurting the poll in any way (JFYI). I chose Maria. She seems the most level-headed of them, and also my type. Unfortunately, I think she’s only been on the show for one or two episodes? (May was originally level-headed, but she’s progressively become more “suppressed rage monster” as the show keeps going.) ---

Hmm. If I separate the character from the actress, I’d pick Jemma Simmons\*. But actress wise, it’s a tie between Chloe Bennet, Cobie Smulders, and Elizabeth Henstridge. \*_Maria Hill is a bit too intimidating, and Skye/Daisy is too unpredictable. Jemma is nerdy and sweet but with some fire in her._ ---

I voted for Melinda May, because I haven’t wathced AoS since the first season, and the only names I recognize from the screen rather than the comics are hers and Maria Hill. Assuming Hill is still being played by what’s-her-name from HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, she is probably in the “beautiful but not hot” category for me. Ming-Na was still quite hot when last I saw her. ---
