Finally got back to my SHIELD watch-through with The Asset, and I still can't buy into a certain character knowing where their story goes later on because their early treatment just doesn't ring true.
Spoilers Agents of SHIELD- The Final Season Discussion
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Thanks.
On second viewing Bobbie and Hunter are really grating on me. Bobbie’s perpetual “Everyone around me is being ridiculous” attitude and Hunter’s auto-snark.
It’s weird seeing how Elena is written at this point in the show and how quickly later she instantly becomes a main.

I'm in season 4 of my rewatch around the time when the crew except Daisy and Gemma would have been replaced. I'm trying to spot the moment where everybody would have been replaced except them, I can't see one.
I guess, Daisy was fighting Russian guy, Gemma was running off on her own, but it still doesn't quite make sense when they would have been grabbed.
Also the initial scan said all four of them were replaced, why was that scan wrong about Daisy? This episode doesn't quite make sense on rewatch.

Not that it really matters any more but the series is now officially de-canonised in it's entirety by the MCU, not just the last two post-Snap seasons.

I looked into it, and there are a lot of issues with this "chronological" viewing order from Disney+, because a lot of the movies overlap partially, and it seems to be ordering movies based on the earliest event within them, not when they end or, in the case of the first Captain America, the framing story that takes place right before Avengers 1. In the specific case of Thor 2, it seems to be pinning placement to Loki being imprisoned in the beginning, which puts it immediately after the first Avengers, but ignores that the main action of the movie takes place some time later. Similarly, they say you should watch Thor 3, Ant-Man 2, and then Infinity War, which is all jacked up, despite being technically correct based on when each movie begins.
So AOS is as safe as it ever was. The Disney+ MCU timeline playlist has not destroyed the show. Please disregard all panicked clickbait.

Yeah, the only part of Thor the Dark World that took place immediately after the Avengers was Loki being brought before Odin. After that, it's heavily implied that Thor was leading troops on the battlefield for a long while before the rest of the movie happens.
ScreenRant is wrong in their interpretation of things far more often than they are right, so just because they declare something to be true doesn't mean that it actually is.
Meh. Come back to me when you have a better source than Screen Rant.
Tom Bacon is the only writer at screen rat that I like and he usually knows his stuff where the MCU is concerned. I even follow him on Facebook where we have had extended discussions about some of the things in his articles. However, in this instance, he seems to be speaking definitively on matters that seem to be more conjectural than anything else. Hey, man's gotta earn his paycheck.

Yeah, you have to hunt through the article for a link stashed somewhere in the middle to figure out what this "timeline" they're talking about actually is—a Disney+ playlist.

If the only sticking point here is when Iron Man 3 took place relative to Dark World, I'd hardly call that irreconcilable. Extremis has been "around" since '99 and AIM had presumably been refining it for years. it's possible (even likely) SHIELD got wind of it before the events of IM3, but never connected it with Killian or The Mandarin until it was too late.
Does anyone else think it was a missed opportunity that in season 7 they didn't get the 1970s Enoch involved some way?
Like, if in some scene after the timeline split, suddenly there were two Enochs because Enoch secretly recruited his original self at some point during his stay on Earth?
Also I'm realizing in this viewing, time duplicates in this world go by Futurama rules. They are doomed.
Are we sure Deke wasn't created by the creation monolith the same way Sarge and Flint were? He appeared right before the 'Fear dimension' became a thing and it makes more sense than the time monolith somehow pulling him in too.

More Enoch definitely would have been good. My main disappointment about their stay in the 70s was that RoboCoulson didn't make springy bionic man noises when he was fighting.
I saw a rumour they approached Nicolas Cage to play Ghost Rider again which would decanonize Agents of Shield.
But, I like Agents of Shield more than pretty much any other MCU thing except maybe Infinity War/Endgame, so if they try to decanonize it, Agents of Shield is the real canon to me.

Not necessarily. It could be set before Johnny Blaze gave Robbie Reyes the power, or you could say it transferred back at some point.
Mostly certain he'd play a different Rider though.
Still waiting for season 7 to be aired here (It'll probably be on Disney or Amazon - I'll have to look) as the usual channel gave up after season 6. Still waiting for season 6 on home media too as I have the rest
Good timing for me, I got back to season 6 this week in my rewatch.
