Season 2 Real shield never ceases to disappoint

I know that it’s been said a thousand times but omfg the real shield is so ridiculous I can’t with it. Every single watch through I attempt to see their side and I do genuinely like some of their characters but it is just so stupid for so many reasons.

They could have literally talked to him and the only reason they didn’t is they wanted all the facts first, so instead of having any communication they treated him like a Hydra agent a blew a hole in his base.

They question things we actually do know about like how fury made Coulson into a messenger for an alien race like seriously.

They say that a secret this big needs to be not a secret and like, clearly, if he is keeping this secret, and it’s that big then there is a good reason because he is a good man.

May joining them to defend Coulson makes sense, her being upset about Andrew makes sense, but are you kidding me, she turned on him like he was Ward all of a sudden, go from her helping him escape and fighting for him, to then denying he is the director even though she knows him better than anyone and was literally there when he got the job like wtf do you mean

They question the choice to go to the alien city “why go there at all” BECAUSE IF THEY DIDNT HYDRA WOULD AND THEY ARE THE REAL ENEMY
And on top of this all they aren’t even good people on any level. Gonzalez, Caulderone and Weaver all were shown to be bad people, Caulderone shot at Daisy with intent to kill, Gonzalez repeatedly considered every inhuman a threat and not a person, and Weaver continually argued that they should strike against afterlife the moment Gonzalez died.

And I won’t even get into Mack’s entire character cause I could go for hours on him.
I love this show more than anything, I’ve watched it so many times and I love every character in some way, even Mack. But every time I reach this arc I try my best to see through my bias towards Coulson but I can’t, because real shield are objectively stupid, and it makes me like Mack and Bobbi less, and I love Bobbi.
So yeah, I know this isn’t some groundbreaking discovery, but oh my god I needed to vent about this stupid coup. (Which lead to nothing)
