FITZ! I am so glad, actually, that this is the way they went -- that Fitz wasn't suddenly back to his old self.* Their Framework personas were, after all, them. The difference was merely a tweak to their...origin story, to stick with comicbook terminology. If your human consciousness in a virtual system provides an overlay to your "woke" consciousness, it stands to reason that even after removal there is is some lingering conflict from that overlay.
I'm really hoping the Framework stays running if that's a place where Trip and Ward live on!
I really don't want to think about Trip snuffed out again. (Of course, part of the reason I have strong feelings about Trip and Hope is a theory bandied around but not quite proven. I think when Jemma describes all the Framework people as "just code" she isn't quite correct. We are not talking virtual reality only; the Darkhold is magic, after all -- the way I read it, if AIDA has a soul...then whom the Darkhold created or brought back are alive for all intents and purposes.)
* Add-on, of all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, I've always thought Fitz was most vulnerable to going darkside -- he's quiet about it, but he's mighty prideful about his genius; he has shown that he will disregard any danger if he wants to get whom he wants (Jemma, on the Planet); he lies when he personally deems it the smartest way...and that was long before any tweak in the Framework.
