Sure. I find Skye to be a shallow cardboard cutout of a character who provokes laughably unbelievable responses from the people around her. Her entire character arc was a series of nonsensical actions from other characters which only occurred because that's where the writers wanted the plot to go.

[Spoilers](#s "It made no sense for Coulson to recruit her in the first place. She was an anti-government, anti-SHIELD criminal who was working with a terrorist group in order to bring them down. Coulson, supposedly a highly competent leader in a very security-conscious field, hired her without doing the first bit of due diligence, simply because he had a good feeling about her. He drugged an employee against his will and left him at the mercy of this total stranger just to earn her good will, which would be considered a blatantly criminal act in real life but is waved away because "he's the good guy and we did it for laughs."

Skye, the magically OP hacker who is loved by everyone who meets her and is forgiven unreservedly when she betrays them, turns out to not only be a TV writer's wet dream of what the world's best hacker should be but also the cherished orphan of not one but two super-powered individuals who adore her. Gee, that's quite a coincidence. After a few months of instruction she becomes a fighter on par with people who have been doing it for their entire careers. She stumbles into another Cave of Plot Convenience and is blessed with her own super powers, complete with special effects that make her hair sparkle and wave on an invisible breeze. It's like a parody of itself as it's happening. So now not only is she the world's top hacker, a top fighter, and a good shot, any one of which would take years of study, but she also has special snowflake super powers and is from an elite race of superbeings. If Coulson had known all of this was possible ahead of time, it would make sense to hire her, but it's been shown repeatedly that he didn't. He just hired an immature criminal out of a bus on the street and the rest happened in a matter of months.

Practically every bad guy on the show, no matter how Evil, is so in love with Skye that they're willing to throw over their entire lives just to make her like them. Ward? He'll go to jail to prove he loves her, won't hurt her when it would make everything in his life better, and talking about how wonderful she is makes up most of his dialogue. Why does he love her? It's really not clear, except that we're told how great she is.

And that's just Skye. The rest of the team repeatedly commits morally appalling acts that are never addressed (several of which Skye brought up herself before falling head over heels in love with SHIELD after a brief tour), and yet we're expected to admire them because the show tells us they're heroes. Massive invasions of privacy, abandoning a US citizen in another country with no way to access his own money (without any sort of trial, just on another of Coulson's whims), drugging employees, breaking into other countries which have specific laws against SHIELD in place and leaving them in ruins. All of this is done under the orders of a man who underwent an experimental brain-rewiring surgery and then was put in charge of a clearly disfunctional team (given that it had two traitors in under six months) and sent into the easily catastrophic field of espionage. Sure, HYDRA had invaded SHIELD at all levels, but none of this was done by HYDRA. It was Nick Fury directly in charge of Coulson.

None of this would be terrible if they'd address the moral grey area, but instead they just tell us this team is the good guys, don't worry about it, and off they go to commit more atrocities. And we're supposed to root for them to get SHIELD back on its feet? Coulson is still a severely damaged individual who continues to make terrible decisions that result in the deaths of many people, including his own team members, using the authority of the government and millions of taxpayer dollars, without any oversight except for a disgraced fugitive on the run. Our hero.

I know people excuse it away with "it's TV, it doesn't have to be realistic," but for me to stick with it, it does have to be realistic enough to suspend my disbelief, and the characters have to be likable enough for me to care what happens to them. I've been collecting comics for years, and they do an excellent job of exploring grey areas and anti-heroes. I'm not sure why the show should be given a pass on plausible behavior or a consistent plot just because "it's superheroes."")
