It would also be nice if AoS were allowed to mention any of the Avengers or even Nick Fury .. such as why Tony Stark cannot be contacted to help with stopping the Earth from being destroyed.

The easiest way to keep it all connected is the old school way of preventing friendly fire accidents, each unit has its own lane. ABC, Freeform, Hulu and Netflix all get their own characters that they get to play with and it seems that Disney is through with providing cameos from the movies as was done with Director Fury, Maria Hill, President Ellis, Lady Sif and Jasper SitwellI.If one of the TV shows mentions something that a movie director wants to use then the connections get broken as the potential billion dollar payday will trump an episode of TV. So AoS only mentions movie events in the past tense as part of a newscast of the big event in the background. About as close as the show has come is in Age Of Ultron you got the impression that Captain America was leading The Avengers on a series of anti-Hydra raids while on AoS you thought that all of Hydra and SHIELD while running from national security agencies  were in deep cover sniping at each other.

 

Back to the thematic tie in to Ragnarok. Deke played basically the same role Valkyerie did.

They did talk about Fury a lot season one when Shield fell to Hydra. I actually think Hydra was the best thing that happened to this show. But as the show grew older, the references got less and less. It bums me out because this show is on Disney. And back when this show first started, the Movie Marvel actors all said that they would cameo on the show. Missed opportunities. Its still frustrating to me that they have never had Coulson crack a joke about Matt Murdock. You know Couslon would be all over the Devil’s in Hell’s Kitchen...from afar. I think he would be amused by him. 

Come on Disney, let everyone play in the sandbox. A reference will not ruin the Marvel TV/Movie universe.

AoS IMO has really moved into some jumping of the shark territory when it came to MCU lore. First was the Global Inhuman Panic that didn't even get a blip off the radar of anyone else's radar (no mentioned of them on JJ, DD, The Punisher, LC, IF, The Defenders, Runaways, and even the movies have ignored them. The only one that came close was Scott Buck's Inhumans series), Spider-Man: Homecoming actually set the MCU timeline with the "8 Years Later" time card (while AoS had Talbot referred the Battle of New York happening in the year 2012),  Dr. Strange estalsihed that the future isn't set in stone (pun intended) and that it can be changed, there was never a "Hong Kong Incident" that Sentaor Nadeer mentioned on AoS' 4th Season, and Homecoming also basically ingnored pretty much everything that AoS said that the Sokovia Accords allowed/outlawed (the registration of every powered person) and also ingorned the "outlawing of AIs" stated by AoS, etc....  Not to mention that they seemed to be throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks (again) and it seems like the proverbial shark that they jumped had puppies. 

 

Overall, the best thing that could happen for both the Movies and TV side is for them to unite into one division but as long as Feige and Perlmutter are there (Feige being the head of Marvel Studios and the movies while Ike Perlmutter is the head of Marvel Entertainment and the TV side) this is probably going to be nothing more than a pipe dream for some time.

So I don't want to spoil Avengers: Infinity War, but having read some spoilers, I just have one question -- how is Agents of SHIELD going to possibly incorporate this into their story? Based on The Candyman's offhand comment in tonight's (4/27) episode, it seems like the show is occurring concurrently with the movie.

On a non-spoilery note, I know it was just a throw away line, but I was annoyed that Daisy's response to something going down in New York was "I don't watch TV." Really? SHIELD isn't in the business of protecting the world anymore? Then what is the purpose of SHIELD? Because it seems like they only exist to make messes and then frantically try to clean them up.

In my opinion, they really have moved away from the whole, SHIELD is an organization that was once designed to protect the world/US.

I think we're a long way from the days of "Turn, Turn, Turn" in late Season One and "CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER".  For me, that period was the high point of the MCU.

They did have the Darkhold, which tried in with Dr Strange. I just like speculating. With a comic book show, you just never know ??‍♀️ Disney kept Agents of Shield around for some reason. Why not because of another tie-in? Its not like Disney really needs Agents of Shield, I saw more commericals for the show all week than I think Agents of Shield played during their commericals.

Personally, I would say that is also more of a fan theory about the Darkhold being from Dr. Strange's library. We just don't know because the movies haven't confirmed nor denied anything.

 

As with the show being an MCU promo- well the theory goes that Disney wants a Marvel presence and also a Star Wars presence on their TV channels. So ABC has Marvel while the Disney XD channel (had) Star Wars Rebels. Now, the rumor mill is that there is a planned Star Wars TV show in the works to replace Rebels.

Well, if the show still wants to be in the MCU then it has to happen. Although, I won't be surprised if all the villains were the ones for that to happen and everyone else (a.k.a. our main characters) will just witness it. Which, IMO, would be another cop-out because nothing bad can happen to these characters. Its like they are just toy action figures while everyone else either dies and/or gets maimed, etc....

Operation: Paperclip was a real thing and that (even in the MCU) pre-dated SHIELD. 

Overall, with all the spoilers (and I haven't seen the film yet), maybe Infinity War isn't all that hyped up it was to be?

I saw it yesterday and walked out of the theater in absolute shock. I think it will have to get resolved next May (they should have kept the names IW1 and IW2, because it is a two-parter) but in the meantime I have no idea how it will affect SHIELD. It has to if they're still in the same world.

But if it is in the MCU and takes place during the events of Infinity War (with their always tie-ins) then it can't ignore something this big, IMO. It's either show it and/or show the after effects, or to ignore it and people will go to the idea that this show isn't part of the MCU. Also, it will be a big ass cop-out if no one from the main characters (a.k.a. Coulson's team) was affected because it would greatly cheapen the show, IMO.

The reason this show turned around in the first place to get multiple seasons, in my opinion, is because they did the tie-in with Winter Soldier. If they hadn't have done that, the show might not have even made it to five seasons. At the very least, the hype wouldn't have been as big as it was back then. 

I'd love for them to tie in Infinity War with the series again, as it would certainly be a turning point and would cause stir again with the media in a positive way, but I don't see them doing it. Which sucks because

I think they used to take these risks earlier, but now they seem too afraid to. It's a real shame because if anything, this show could use a risky move, especially if it is ending this season. I mean, why not, you know? It worked in season 1, even with it being a new show. That was a major risk they took because the show was still establishing itself and it didn't really click until the tie-in. They weren't afraid of turning the obligatory Hot New Agent into an evil Hydra agent. That was a huge and risky move, as evident by the Ward, and SkyeWard fans. 

Perhaps, it would have been better if this season ended in concurrence with Infinity War. Then, that way, they might have been more brave to make the move the show probably doesn't want to make.

I figure when the canary in the coal mine disappears Fitzsimmons will miss interpret it.  They would think the Simmons theory of time travel and loops now had empirical evidence. Season or series finale. Where as if they get a season 6 they can roll that back when the S.H.I.E.L.D. survivors find out what happened to the rest of the world while they were in the Lighthouse or space fighting the Confederation and Graviton. then Avengers 4 is released and the movies roll back on what just happened in the rest of the universe.

I just don't see a season 6 happening, not only the ratings are really low, but they are trapped between Infinity War and Avengers 4 (who is set 5 years after IW). Every other series and movies happening between are all set in the past. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can't since they just told us IW is happening right now.

They won't have the budget to show what would a post-IW world would look like, especially when everyone knows it's going to be undone after A4. They can't avoid that by having the team stuck in an alternate reality/timeline because they just did that for the last ~30 episodes. They can't set the season after Avengers 4 for obvious reasons. So the only way a season 6 is happening is if it's airing after A4.

Are we really expecting that ABC is going along with that ? When we know they had to be forced for a season 5, that they slashed the budget and the crew planned for a possible ending ?

I have heard from a couple of people speculation that the movies will make a five year time jump.

Yeah, I thought that DC had the better plan of having multiple universes so their shows and movies can do whatever the hell they want. Instead, they all have to aline if they are all taking place in the same universe.

Those are so pretty big names and also some original characters from their first movies.  If the movie had the balls to do it then the show should do it as well but I don't see the show doing in because, writing-wise, they don't take big risks on this show, IMO.  Also, I don't see any of this staying after Avengers 4, FYI, either.
