Quake is the MCU character with the most screentime
It obviously has to be a member of the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast, and you would think Coulson, but he's only in five seasons of AoS. For actors, it's definately Clark Gregg, but when it comes to characters, it's Quake. According to [this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/shield/comments/ojaxc7/agents_of_shield_characters_with_the_most_screen/)Reddit post (credit to [u/E](https://www.reddit.com/user/E/)[xcellent\_Skill](https://www.reddit.com/user/Excellent_Skill/)) based on information from IMDb, Daisy has 1039 minutes of screentime in AoS, which is a bit over 17 hours of screentime. Close contenders for characters are May and Simmons, but they've been absent for some episodes, been featured less in some. Fitz would probably be there if the whole variant thing didn't happen, and one version of him was absent for a whole season.
Before anyone says 'not canon', Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. was made and released throughout the entirety of its seven year run as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (franchise). In the event that it is declared not canon, it is still a part of the MCU (franchise), and would retroactively become like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. But it is canon because how else did Fury get the Helicarrier in Age Of Ultron?
tl;dr: Quake is the character with the most screentime in the MCU, despite Chloe Bennet not being the actor with the most screentime.

Edit to add I didn’t realize AoS was considered canon, I always thought it was intentionally ambiguous what with timeline and events and what not. I know that they’re canon now so I appreciate the correction.
AoS was done at that point, there was no worries about the timelines making sense between products, but they completely missed those really easy options. :(
And then it gets incredible but still fun
Not everything has to be grim and dark. This isn't the DCU.
Imagine if Buffy The Vampire Slayer was judged on the basis of the first half of season 1. I’m not saying AoS is as good as Buffy, but the jump in quality is comparable.
It doesn’t appeal to the movie fans who want a beginning a middle and an end to their story arcs.
If anything, whether you’re a fan of it probably depends more on whether you enjoy “found family” TV shows. But even then I doubt that’s particularly fair either.
I loved it as a kid because I was a blind MCU stan, but as an adult, I can't defend the show honestly
Also not quite sure what you mean by repetitive. The show has some weak points of course but nothing from season three on is like what came before it. Each season is dramatically different from the last.
That’s what you’re telling us.
Mind you, I’m not talking about me. I watched the entire run and loved it. Though I was pissed when they decided to pretend the snap didn’t happen, removing themselves from continuity.
Through a massive threat of arguing with him, he admitted to only watching a little bit of the first season, and only having it on in the background when he was doing chores, but he insisted that’s all he needed to know that it was a bad show.
I often find that most people who criticize the show did not watch it beyond the first few episodes, or even at all. They will lie about it, but if you ever ask them specific questions and they’re too lazy to Google the answers, the truth comes out.
It’s infinitely better than any CW show and rivals most of the movies.
Steve Rogers would at the very least send someone to deal with the Chicago situation, not just leave it there.
Oh and don’t bring the “He didn’t know” excuse because Captain fucking America would know if an alien invasion was happening on American soil.
It was needed to set up the second half and the rest of the show.
If it had a different tone, the aftermath of CA:WS wouldn't have hit as hard.
I like the show overall, but I prefer to think of it as separate to the MCU. I think that the MCU is canon to AoS but not the other way around, if that makes sense.
Ultimately, "canon" is purely a matter of opinion. If you prefer to think of AoS as being canon to the MCU, that's totally fine! You do have to ignore a few story elements (the Snap not happening in AoS is a big one), but that's easy to do. Anyone gets to choose how they enjoy and interpret media, and this is no exception.
But it’s kinda silly that they were doing all this shit without help from the avengers.
It was fun but you have to be a real soap opera fan to watch more than 3 seasons.
Daisy: come for the underwear scenes. Stay for the family drama.
And soap opera drama? There’s like… a little bit of that? Otherwise it’s all sci fi and super hero stuff… might as well call Breaking Bad a soap opera because Marie shoplifts.
That merits a lifetime ban from the MCU.
Y'all can be salty, but it doesn't change what she did or what he did.
It's hard to take this show as MCU when they never acknowledged Coulson being alive. It was a one-sided thing.
So no, Coulson didnt send the helicarrier, he is dead and has been since 2012.

It's a bit weird when anyone asks Brad about it because with the Netflix stuff he's always been like "yeah bro, it's always been canon, we never considered them NOT canon man"
But for agents of shield he's always very very quiet and never at any point has said it's canon
To be honest, I wouldn't admit it's canon either, a lot of it is veryyyy low budget and boring
Edit: im wrong about Fiege, it was Whedon.
Frankly, I'm glad both exist and the same should go with AoS. If it's canon, amazing! But if it isn't, it doesn't add or reduce anything in the show by not being canon
>Q: Is Magneto the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch?
>A: It depends on the writer at the time.
So like… Eh. There are canon issues *even just within the movies*. No need for people to get so hung up on it.
However people, especially on this post, are being super weird and mass downvoting other comments because they said it wasn't canon, this sub is being overrun by the weird agents of shield meat riders and it's honestly going to turn fans away from it I worry
Thanks for the corrections/info though! Quality knowledge.
AoS is canon.
Because if so, there is the split in the timeline. In Shield Jiaying manages to release the Terrigen, in the MCU she's stopped.
Hence then in Shield the Inhuman Outbreak leading to Quake vs Graviton II where he breaks the World in a maddening Rage while fighting Quake in Chicago, killing the whole Earth including the Dark Order and thus Thanos never achieves his goal, but the Earth is lost
Daredevil is probably second
So she has literally zero screentime in the MCU technically.
Especially since it pokes holes in most of the claims about Perlmutter.
So I'd completely disregard anything Feige says here, he's not acting in the best interests of the MCU, just pursuing his feud.
Honestly, I don’t get the issue. Comics conflict all the time. Canon is canon in the moment. So whatever, anything that doesn’t wildly contradict the movies can be canon.
Except Inhumans, because I have my limits.
> Feige will not admit Perlmutter lead something that was very good.
Feige has said *on camera* that AoS, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, & Luke Cage were good & have a lot of fans, as recently as 2021, LONG after Perlmutter wasn't his boss anymore.
Easily the best marvel tv series alongside Daredevil
