'I always preferred Ward as a villain. Before he was revealed to be a HYDRA agent I only saw him as the muscle of the team and kinda of a boring character. But I gotta admit it Hive was more interesting than Ward since his first appearance and now he's more interesting than he was at the beginning. No matter if he's Ward or Hive, Brett Dalton is such a good actor.'

Dalton was at his best as Ward in late Season One. Ever since then, his performance seemed to border on either parody or mimicry.
