I have a friend whom I dearly adore who, today, started slagging off Skye and I nearly wanted to scream. I adore Skye, she and Melinda are tied for favorite regular on that series, and. and. Argh.
ANYWAY. They maybe are setting up a redemption arc for Ward! I find myself curious to see what they do and I hope that, if you're right, they do it in a really solid, gradual way so that we can see the progress and occasional backslide. I hope that you get your wish!
I'm sorry they screwed up Ward for you! I'm also sorry the fandom has been on the Ward fans' cases, because the ones I've seen haven't been woobiefying him.
Did you see this that came out on metanews: Everyone Hates Grant Ward: Strung Up By Your Own Bootstraps. It's not an anti-Ward post! It does take a look at his fall from good-guy-dom and explains where and why and how the system - and HYDRA - failed him. I found it fairly sympathetic without excusing him.
