Agents of SHIELD season 5

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I figured there was some kind of catch, otherwise he (?) would be far too powerful.
I'm sure there's a precedent in the comics to justify just about any crazy twist or contrivance. I'm just thinking about it from an internally consistent logic point of view.
Also, something like the Super Skrull is the kind of thingvthey'd really need to build up to, not just pull out of their proverbial arse to justify a cheap shock.

Agreed. I was just spitballing and I was a little curious about Super Skrull.
As USS Firefly says, the Captain Marvel film is set in the '90s. So it will be a younger Coulson, his earliest chronological appearance in the MCU.
Aarrrgh! No! That's one of the reasons I bailed on Marvel.
Yeah, I didn't think of a flashback. Apparently Coulson hasn't changed in twenty years.It's going to be a flashback to the 90's. Ronan, Korath and Nick Fury's left eyeball are also showing up.
Guess so. I don't really pay a lot of attention to the movies. I wonder why they would do that. The 90s were not the most interesting decade ever.
Well, this was him 17 odd years ago, so it seems plausible they can pull if off with a little makeup and maybe pitch his voice up a tiny bit.

I thought the same thing. Hell, I'm still convinced Coulson and Jasper are the same person.
Or there will be some subtle digital de-aging, on both him and Samuel L. Jackson.
From what I can tell, that was the early 2000s. One page on the MCU Wiki says it was 14 years before the episode, but I can't find any corroboration elsewhere.
No, the incident in Bahrain was supposedly in '08, not long before the events of Iron Man.
Well...they could just give Coulson A toupee... Didn't Jean Luc get one in a flashback on TNG?
We are on the bubble for renewal, which is frankly better odds than I thought we would have.

I finally got back and caught up with the episodes! I have this horrible habit of missing SHIELD for a month or so and having to binge them. It's funny because it usually happens after a period of fatigue, as the future half of this season dragged on for me. But now that they're back home, everything is so much better!
I can see people here are annoyed with Deke, and so was I! But every scene he shares with FitzSimmons is so wonderfully silly and heartwarming. I grew up raised by my grandparents, and I would be besides myself if I got a chance to befriend them in their youth. The present day half of this season has done wonders for Deke's character and I absolutely love it.
And here I am now, and forever will be afraid that Coulson really IS dead in the MCU. Until we see him or the SHIELD team referenced in a movie with tangible proof that they in fact exist, I will always have this fear... forever.

Considering the suits probably expected to have 'Inhumans' be their new successful Marvel show by this point, I think AoS may have an ever so slightly better than even chance of hanging in there for one last season.
How could a dying Coulson during the events of 'Avengers' possibly accurately predict every major MCU event of the last half a decade? From Extremis, to Greenwich, the Hydra uprising, Ultron, the Pym Technologies incident and the Sokovia Accords. They've all been referenced, one way or another.

Well, consider this: If the show is all Coulson's dream as he lingers on the edge of death, how does he know about all these things that happened years after his death? The Extremis incident, Malekith's attack on Greenwich, the exposure of Hydra's infiltration of SHIELD and Project Insight, Hydra's possession of Loki's sceptre (which Coulson's team was given credit for discovering and passing along to the Avengers), the Ultron attack on Sokovia and the Helicarrier rescue (with Coulson and Koenig responsible for readying the Helicarrier), the incident at Pym Technologies, the establishment of the Sokovia Accords... all these are things known to have occurred in the cinematic MCU and referenced in AoS episodes. So unless Coulson's near-death hallucinations are somehow precognitive or just extraordinarily good guesses, I think it's safe to say that the events of AoS are as real as the events of the movies they're affected by.
You both bring up an excellent and all-together completely logical and placating point. I feel much better now, thanks.
^Glad to help. Honestly, I don't think I'd quite figured that out myself until I was responding to your post, so we helped each other.
I'm kind of disappointed by that.We are on the bubble for renewal, which is frankly better odds than I thought we would have.

I've felt pretty underwhelmed by AOS but quite liked season four, which I recently binge watched. I'm struggling with season five though - I'm finding it near unwatchable. It's about time to give it a humane finish.
