I just remembered. I watched Agents of Shield yesterday, the season 2 episode where Trip dies and I noticed something. I know it’s probably old news but up until now I always thought Trip died because he was in the chamber. Nobody not inhuman should have been there, so it tried to put him through metamorphis and obviously it failed.

BUT that’s not what happened at all.

Daisy started to get the chrysalis shell and reached out to Trip as she was understandably frightened. Trip desperate to help her smashed the crystals with one hell of a leg kick. Even then he probably would have been fine, there was another puff of smoke like at the start, but he had crystals embedded in his chest, and that was game over.

So it wasn’t that he was in the chamber – it was that he kicked the crystals and got impaled by them. He could have lived if only the crystals missed him when he did that awesome kick.

I miss him 🙁
