I wish they didn't kill Ward. A character that's grown to become one of the stronger villains in the MCU dies an empty, meaningless death that cuts short his conflicts and relationships with the other characters on the show after a bland, boring fight with Coulson. And in his place we get a character that (assuming Nurdboy42, AnnebellRice, and all of Reddit are right about him being the Hive) is a less of a character and more of a gestalt entity devoid of a personality of its own. That's not a fair trade.

You don't Dark Phoenix a character who's already one of the bad guys. With the show's rapidly expanding main cast (that's only going to get even bigger once the Secret Warriors start coming together), maybe now would have been the perfect time to turn one of the good guys into the Big Bad. And because it adds more drama when the rest of SHIELD see that thing walking around in their friend's body. None of them are going to hesitate to pull the trigger when it has a face they already hate. Coulson, Mack, FitzSimmons - any of them being the Conqueror Worm's host sounds like a more interesting turn of events than what we got. Ward being the thing's host was... expected, for lack of a better term.
