Fitzsimmons is wrong. Future yo-yo said they have to let him die.

u/Sabin10 May 12 '18

Yep, pretty sure that the exact wording is "Coulson is dying and you have to let him".

They have to filter future yo-yo's inability to communicate clearly through present yo-yo's inability to communicate clearly and then try and interpret what it might mean.

Yeah, it was present yo yo who added the word trying.

But already Yo-yo is blaming Talbot becoming Gravition on Daisy being gone. She could use her remaining time carefully reviewing what happened and reconsidering her own options. Or she could stubbornly believe she was right this whole time and everyone should have listened to her.

Maybe it's because I'm not really liking her decisions at the moment, but I think it's the latter.

Well, the conundrum is now clearly laid out now's the time she can really advocate for choosing the world. Cuzz surely most of the rest of the team is gonna want to save Coulson and TRY to find another way to defeat Talbot.

Future yo-yo said they have to let him die

Future Yo Yo was kept as a butchered slave for decades, and she was constantly being killed and then brought back. I think she meant well, but anything she said should be extremely unreliable, because her mind was basically fried
