She’s been busy: Daisy Johnson has made almost 200 appearances playing key roles in major storylines like Secret Invasion. First introduced in 2004 in the Secret War limited series as Daisy Johnson, Quake was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Gabriele Dell’Otto, who modeled her after Angelina Jolie’s likeness in the movie Hackers,Īctually, Dell’Otto was going for a pouty Mr. If you haven’t been reading comics in the last 10 years, or like me, just not keeping up with every minutiae of Earth-616, you probably missed reading about Daisy “Quake” Johnson. ( ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ reveals Skye’s true identity - what’s next? – Abrams, Natalie – Entertainment Weekly – December 10 2014) We got confirmation on that very early on, so we’ve been on that track ever since. Daisy Johnson was the main character that we wanted to go for. Of course, there are always the series of clearances, but we always knew we wanted to evolve Skye into something else. MAURISSA TANCHAROEN: That was our goal from the beginning. The producers were probably concerned with the cost of CGI squirrels.īut the fact is that the Whedon’s actually are big fans of Quake and have had their eyes on her from the start. Given the fact that the source material of the show is the biggest comic book publisher in the world you would hope it is someone even the most casual of fans would have heard of, like…I dunno….Spider-Woman, She-Hulk, White Tiger, Ms. So to everyone else, they just know the guy from Sex and The City is her dad, who’s named “Cal” and he calls her Daisy, not Skye. This revelation was probably met with a “who?” and a “she’s-a-what-now?” to non comic book reading fans and perhaps, more specifically, to non- Secret Avengers readers, which is very likely the majority of TV viewers.Ĭonsidering Skye/Daisy‘s heritage and origin have been an ongoing mystery (she was classified a 0-8-4, object of unknown origin) since the early episodes of the series, one would expect the reveal would be somewhat more epic. The Internet could come to that conclusion considering that the mid-season finale of AoS pulled in 5 million viewers, (not including those watching on DVR or On Demand) and the Secret Avengers comics, which featured Quake, sold about twenty thousand hard copies a month. The episode has been criticized as being insignificant. As it turns out, one of the original cast members of AoS is based on an established comic book character….drum roll….Skye is really Daisy “Quake” Johnson! (AoS) began airing, some fans have been clamoring for more comic book related storylines and characters. will return on March 3rd, so hopefully this won’t be too much of a spoiler but I should give fair warning: THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD! So if you’re binge watching AoS to catch up, please come back here when you’re done.
