Well, considering Skye and Ward feels like characters ripped straight out of a bad fanfic and the writing has been abysmal compared to other Whedon works, I'm not surprised people are disappointed.

Also, wth with Melinda May trying to claim that ESP is not a possible thing in a Marvel universe. It's like the writers aren't actually trying.

IS IT a possible thing in the "AVENGERS MCU"-verse, which is what Agents of SHIELD is clearly a part of? X-Men and their mutant ESP have no place here.

i honestly cannot believe that a universe with magical god-aliens would straight up ignore the possibility of ESP without being a slight on the writers' part sorry

I don't think they're ignoring it. I think they're setting it up for Coulson/May/Ward to be all shocked when somebody comes along who is telepathic/telekinetic. If the show ends and they're still skeptical about telepaths, okay. But I think that conversation will be much more important later than it was this time around.

Well, May seems much more comfortable dealing with things she can punch than with alien tech, much less psi abilities, so I can understand her wanting to believe this has a mundane explanation (and as it turns out she's right). But IIRC she didn't say there's absolutely no ESP ever in the world. She said there were no *confirmed* cases of it, which is very likely true.

When you get right down to it, removing mutants (and FF, which removes Franklin Richards) leaves you with a pretty piss-poor depth chart at the telepath position in Marvel. I think the most mainstream non-mutant example of it is probably Doctor Strange (and how likely is he to turn up for a SHIELD test?), then Elektra (Fox has the rights) and then I'd probably go to Danny Rand, who really uses some sort of weird chi bullshit and not straight-up telepathy.

IIRC most of the others are aliens, and since we're not that far removed from the Battle of NY, I think its safe to say SHIELD probably hasn't gotten their hands on many shi'ar or whatever yet. So, telepathy? Sure. *Confirmed* telepathy? Not much of a given.

Can anyone with more comics knowledge confirm or deny?
