The Evolution of Melinda May

"I'm the one who protects them."
Introduced as a stoic and emotionless pilot, May is burdened with the trauma over killing a little girl in Bahrain. Her journey through seven season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is about overcoming loss and grief as she learns to love again. She takes it upon herself to protect her team at any cost. She mentors and helps other through her personal experiences. She is The Cavalry.

UPDATE: WE MADE AN AGENTS OF SHIELD DISCORD!! If you want a place to talk all things Agents of Shield with other fans, please join our discord! discord.gg/3FawQJ5W4B I'm so sorry this took so long to make! I love Melinda May so much, but it was also so difficult trying to represent all the nuances of her character in a video. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this video :)

[@Unversed333]

May is many things to many people, a mentor, a partner, a mother, and above all......a badass. Fantastic work.

[@skilledninja3770]

Well said

[@juliakraus8609]

This was great, but I wish may got her happy ending… she lost both Andrew and coulson 🥺

[@toastyin]

She has lost so much 😭 but I'm so happy she became a teacher at the end, after all the agents that she has helped in her own way through the years

[@juliakraus8609]

@@toastyin In a way, I’d say that becoming a teacher is giving her closure. The only problem is that she seemed to mask her sadness in the last scene. She loved coulson. Coulson Academy is her way of moving on, but I think she is lonely. As Jemma says, “We don’t move on. We hold that place in our heart, we close close it off, we lock the door, and we visit from time to time, but we don’t move on. Even after we say goodbye.”

[@steffisemtner8401]

@@juliakraus8609 I think she sees LMD coulson as the real one or at least a version and wants him in her life, because of that she invited him two times in the last ep but I don't like that he said that he might visit her.

[@ShieldVids]

I don't think she needs it to be with coulson romantically. She is completely opened up. To dating, to teaching and honoring Coulson.

[@steffisemtner8401]

@@ShieldVids well, in interviews showrunners stated that they still love each other and everything they went through only deepens that love, I always thought it was very clear in one of the last scenes, their glances, it was acted this way.

[@serenahiggins1849]

May said “don’t give me hope” first. Before Hawkeye. And hers was better.

[@kazuhasgloves]

Man, I love May so much.

[@Quake09]

I love this!! May’s story is so amazing, you really showed it well!

[@toastyin]

Thank you ☺

[@DayFlounder]

May is tied with FS as my favorite character. Love your videos!

[@PetrowskiKatia2]

The love of my life. My hero. My favorite character from that show :’) ❤️ She is just amazing and she stole my heart in a bit on day 1! 🥰 thanks for this video. It was worth the wait! ❤️ She deserved better. Too much pain for her since episode 1.

[@toastyin]

My favourite character too!! I just love everything about her :)) also the way my heart broke when we finally learned the story of Bahrain...

[@PetrowskiKatia2]

@@toastyin It's always difficult to edit your favorite character, because you are worried you can't show the true essence of them. I have many Melinda May's projects open but never finished one because never satisfied enough. I just want to show how amazing she is and I'm not sure I am able to. Hope one day I will! XD Also... the Bahrain story had me in tears. The way her life changed in a few seconds.

[@toastyin]

@@PetrowskiKatia2 That's so true!!! I honestly felt so upset editing this because I felt like I was not doing May's story justice haha. And I love your edits so I can't wait to watch your May one!! I know it'll be amazing 💙

[@PetrowskiKatia2]

@@toastyin you did an amazing job, don't worry! :D

[@gri_panda]

She is amazing.

[@skilledninja3770]

May is just superb, I enjoy every minute of her presence

[@knoote9684]

Best one yet I’d say! Are you going to be doing individual evolutions for Mack and Yo-yo next? I also would love to see a Lincoln vid; and a Radcliffe one as well! Anyway, loved this one, and can’t wait for next vid!

[@toastyin]

Thank you so much!! Also great suggestions, they are all videos that I hope to be able to do in the future :)

[@davkgerart]

Watching this and your Evolution of Natasha Romanoff video is really something else!😭Both amazingly powerful and complex Marvel characters.❤️
