I finally started watching Agents of SHIELD...

Why didn't I start sooner? I just finished S1 after 2 days of bingeing...I know it's not canon to the rest of the MCU but it's amazing! I'm dying to get through everything because I want the full backstory behind Skye and May...yes, I've spoiled some because I don't care about spoilers. Favorite character/s is probably Fitz-Simmons even though I don't actually understand what comes out of their mouths 67% of the time.
Ward kinda reminds me of Bradford from The Rookie...I wonder what will happen to him.
There's just this whole world of SHIELD that I didn't know about and I'm just enjoying the journey. If anyone else is on the fence about watching it, it's so fun! Just do it.
I have a bad habit of getting fully absorbed into something once I start so I'm probably gonna finish the whole show within a week...

Pumped for you! AOS is so so good, I wish I could watch it again for the first time! Enjoy the ride!

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-29 13:09

Thank you! I don't usually like rewatching stuff but I've got a feeling I'll be rewatching it eventually!

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 03:01

> I know it's not canon to the rest of the MCU

well that’s news to me, do you have a source on that?

iGeTwOaHs2025-10-29 03:05

Kevin Feige has said it himself.

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 03:10

[indeed he has stated it to be canon. Good Job. he’s been a major fan of AoS and repeatedly said it to be canon.](https://youtu.be/zYPJtp8uX0I?si=j-Bey28QbLFkvNxo)

iGeTwOaHs2025-10-29 03:17

Good job you found a video with interviews from over 9 years ago before the majority of the show had even aired. Maybe look to find his updated statements where he mentions that after season 4 the show took its own direction as trying to keep everything intertwined was causing issues with the shows production and overall hurt their ability to tell the story that they wanted.

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 03:19

where did he mention that? do you have a source on that? or are you pulling it out of your ass?

iGeTwOaHs2025-10-29 04:01

Maybe check the Marvel Studios The Marvel Cinematic Universe An Official Timeline. Literally a book depicting the entire timeline on the MCU, nowhere does it mention agents of shield.

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 04:19

Darn you got it. nowhere does it mention Marvel Studios’s A Funny Thing That Happened on The Way to Thor’s Hammer neither. I mean I know the book says that this isn’t everything that is in the mcu, and maybe they just cut it to save paper because it’s not super important to the over arching storyline of the MCU, but since it’s not in the book, I guess Marvel Studios’s A Funny Thing That Happened on The Way to Thor’s Hammer isn’t part of the MCU. Bravo Feige. Way to clean up the MCU by cutting this out.

Howzieky2025-10-29 03:20

What did he say about it being canon? Do you have a quote? Last word I saw from him, it was canon. But I've been out of the loop for a while

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 03:33

Yeah maybe I missed something, if he did indeed decanonize it I would be totally open to it, it’s a good show that stands on its own, but you know I haven’t seen a source for that yet.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-10-29 04:00

Maybe a quote or a source would better support your argument?

indianajoes2025-10-29 08:23

Interesting how you're the one claiming he said it's not canon but you can't share sources and you're telling other people their sources are invalid

igby12025-10-29 03:06

Isn’t it canon except for anything where the movies differ?

NitroBlast45632025-10-29 03:08

well by that logic, given that there are no contradictions, wouldn’t that mean it’s entirely canon?

i was going by the logic that since Kevin Feige, marvel and disney have repeatedly said it was canon, that it’s canon. but that train of thought works too.

FPG_Matthew2025-10-29 04:00

Where do AoS and the movies differ?

igby12025-10-29 08:10

S1-S3 are canon, but starting with S4 it diverges from the main MCU timeline.

There's speculation that the Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) movie could merge all timelines and bring AoS back into the main continuity.

One of several lengthy threads discussing AoS canonicity -

https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/155cwnl/is_agents_of_shield_canon_in_the_mcu_main_timeline/

FPG_Matthew2025-10-29 14:50

I haven’t read through the thread with 100+ comments

But since you brought up s4, I’m gonna assume you mean Darkhold?

If that’s the case, Multiverse of Madness established the texts of the Darkhold were written on Mount Wundagore, meaning multiple copies of the Darkhold can exist

igby12025-10-29 14:52

Anything is possible with time travel and multiverses.

FPG_Matthew2025-10-29 15:00

S4 does not break sacred timeline canon

Megatrons2nd2025-10-29 03:02

It's a great little show.

I'm waiting for LOLA and Agent Coulson to get a Haslab. Add Quake and Mack and it'll rock. There are several characters that would be awesome to have, and who doesn't want another Ming-Na Wen? The Cavalry , in figure form. It's not like they don't have a few sculpts of her face already done.

Aznsupaman2025-10-29 17:55

You just reminded me that I have an agent colson legends 3 pack with Nick fury and agent hill in my garage somewhere. I need to find it now.

taviusparadise2025-10-29 03:03

dope for u. its the best MCU project. and ur only on season 1. so many adventures and stories and characters to see.

*theres a slight chance disney reboots

Tavuc2025-10-29 03:39

There's a larger change I win a billion dollars at the lottery. Unfortunately

peesu2025-10-29 03:45

Then if you win, you can bank roll a few episodes.

Tavuc2025-10-29 03:47

100% pretty sure that can fund a few seasons if we go off the shows budget.

FPG_Matthew2025-10-29 04:03

Brad Winderbaum rewatched all of AoS last year. Maybe just cuz he likes it and thinks it’s a good show, maybe for a bit of homework as well to see what he can pull from

Vision Quest will be about AI. Think LMD’s. AIDA? Coulson?

It’ll have the same actor play Jarvis from Agent Carter. And ofc Agent Carter connects with AoS pretty strongly towards the end of its run

There are small glimmers of hope that feel a bit more tangible. It feels similar ish to when the Netflix shows were/weren’t canon. Just need a bit more time and odds might improve

Loafmeister2025-10-29 06:27

People quickly forget the actor playing Jarvis was in avengers endgame playing the same role

indianajoes2025-10-29 08:28

Also Daniel Whitehall's picture was in some images meant to be used for Endgame but it got cut. I really wish they could've gone through with that

taviusparadise2025-10-29 04:38

I hope both happen

resisttheoccupation2025-10-29 03:07

The little show that could. I miss it so much.

![gif](giphy|Yv8lnDI5qkg1IVMADy)

Heart-Lights4202025-10-29 03:10

On man! So hipped for you! I wish I could watch this show for the first time again!

thom_sawyer2025-10-29 03:14

It’s a fun show. Season 4 is one of my all time favorite seasons of TV. Enjoy!

marvelcomics222025-10-29 03:20

AoS is so good, it's great that you started watching it.

>know it's not canon to the rest of the MCU

That's also not a 100% true. It's in a state of Shrodinger's canon, where it's not officially embraced as canon, but they haven't said that it isn't canon either.

YDGx11382025-10-29 04:06

It's not on the MCU timeline on Disney+. It's not canon

Madmonkeman2025-10-29 04:16

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and Defenders weren’t on it for a long time either even when Daredevil and Fisk were appearing in other shows.

eagc72025-10-29 05:18

I mean Agent Carter (at least Season 1) has been stated to be considered canon by Marvel Studios in the official Story of Marvel Studios book since they were involved with that one......and its still not in the timeline (Not to be confused with the One Shot)

indianajoes2025-10-29 08:26

Agent Carter the show isn't there and that's considered canon. The Netflix shows weren't on there for ages and those are considered canon now

Caelesti_Deus2025-10-29 04:30

Honest this is the most unbiased response and if more people said this there would be a lot less arguments lol.

AutonomousBlob2025-10-29 05:46

The people who liked the tv show will stab anybody who says it isnt cannon lmao they go from 0 to 100 sooo fast

Caelesti_Deus2025-10-29 05:57

To be fair I’m kind of one of those people, it’s just truly holds a special place in my family. It’s the only thing we’ve all watched together before some passed away. So it’s a great show. Emotionally attachments aside the show does a great job of always having a fresh feeling every season. The character development, dynamics, and action is truly amazing a lot of the actors did their own stunts until they couldn’t. Chloe for a while was doing her own stunts which was super cool.

marvelcomics222025-10-29 08:37

I kind of do that, but I'm usually really civil about it unless it's someone unreasonable.

grayjelly2122025-10-30 17:24

AOS is my favorite show and I get more pissed when people get pissed that people say it isn't canon lol. It doesn't matter to me either way.

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-29 13:11

oh ok. I think I read somewhere that it's like a one way mirror; AoS reacts to the events of the main timeline but the movies don't acknowledge anything from the show.

CaptHayfever2025-10-29 14:06

There's some easter-eggs in the movies alluding to the show; nothing major.

ULTRAman06162025-11-02 19:08

Theta Protocol!

A_Bungus_Amungus2025-10-29 19:31

They definitely mention parts of the show in movies

Stormik2025-10-30 08:55

I personally don't care what any of the higher ups says about the show's canon status. For me it straight up is.

AoS follows and affects MCU way too much (and WAY more than any of the "canon" shows) for it to not be canon.

grayjelly2122025-10-30 17:25

Finally, a comment on AOS canon status that I actually like.

HordoopSklanch2025-10-29 03:21

It's a blast! You're in for a helluva ride. Enjoy!

Effective-Fondant-162025-10-29 03:23

Each season felt like a new show, in a good way. They tackled a lot of difference concept in the genre, and they all turned out pretty well. Considering ABC and Disney kept cutting their budget in later seasons, it really showed how talented the production team was to manage it all.

applejam1012025-10-29 03:25

Welcome to AoS. One of the best shows ever. Each season is so different and better than the previous.

garbage19952025-10-29 03:34

In my opinion, it goes to shit as it goes on. It just went off the rails after Winter Soldier came out.

Boil-san2025-10-29 03:35

>Ward kinda reminds me of Bradford from The Rookie...I wonder what will happen to him.

Oh man, hang on...! ;\^p

Aznsupaman2025-10-29 03:39

Agent Ward is my favorite character too. You should follow his career as an agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. with great interest.

Golden-Ratio2025-10-29 05:33

Nice… I like the reference

marvelcomics222025-10-29 10:54

He's such a heroic character, especially in Season 1 Episode 21, when he helps Fitzsimmons like that.

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-29 13:12

ikr! I wonder what his redeeming arc will be....

Aznsupaman2025-10-29 15:56

We shouldn't spoil it for op but let's just say his future has a ***host*** of possibilities and one could say it's essential to the later ***framework*** of the story.

Etikaiele2025-10-29 15:59

😱😏

marvelcomics222025-10-29 16:26

He becomes a part of **hive** of the story

kurai012025-10-29 20:39

I ***hail*** Grant Ward and you for this comment.

Aznsupaman2025-10-29 15:50

I know, right? After the first few episodes he became my favovrite character and I wasn't alone. Ward fans were calling AOS The Grant Ward Show.

Wondrous-Junction262025-10-29 03:43

Agents of SHIELD is canon to the MCU since day one that it premiered on ABC! The show was made by Marvel Entertainment with the sole purpose of being tied to the movies. Just because Kevin Feige wants to be a petty bitch towards Jeph Loeb who made these shows doesn't mean he gets to invalidate these characters, their stories, and the fans that watched loyally. Feige wants to pick and choose from the remnants of Marvel Television for his own shows but it backfired on him and he was forced to acknowledge the work Loeb did on Netflix. There would not be any of these new shows if it wasn't for the success of Agents of SHIELD!

NoNoNotorious852025-10-29 05:47

>Marvel Entertainment

Not Marvel Studios

>Just because Kevin Feige wants to be a petty bitch towards Jeph Loeb

You sound like a petty bitch for inserting yourself into a situation you know nothing about. Also, Jeph Loeb isn’t going to let you go down on him just because you fanboy over him like that.

I love AOS but it’s not canon just because it inserts mostly insignificant (minus the Winter Soldier stuff) tie-ins. A lot of major events happen in AOS. The rise of the Inhumans for one thing. Or Coulson being alive and also heading up his own team. You would think such a thing would have an effect on the films. Nope. Why? Because it isn’t canon.

Not being canon also doesn’t invalidate the characters or the stories. Now please. Remember it’s just a show. Or seek help.

TikkiEXX772025-10-29 12:40

Think his problem was with Ike more than Jeph. Jeph doesn't get nearly enough credit for his time at marvel TV. Lot of the shows were pretty good.

Wondrous-Junction262025-10-30 02:31

Apparently Feige has a long running feud with Loeb over the control of Marvel's live action content.

o-055-o2025-10-31 17:29

You are probably thinking of Ike Perlmutter, the one that Feige had issues with, which lead to the split into Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Studios back in the day.

Wondrous-Junction262025-11-05 04:18

No Feige had beef with both of them

CodeNamesBryan2025-10-29 03:43

Its not Canon?

I gave up on the show after a short time because i found it really poorly done, but always thought it was Canon.

Caelesti_Deus2025-10-29 04:33

What did you feel like was poorly done?

CodeNamesBryan2025-10-29 05:56

The quality of it.

You can tell it was a prime time cable show that didn't have the budget to truly do the series justice.

I just felt it looked cheap is all.

archiminos2025-10-29 09:23

Season 1 is pretty mid. But if you can get through it Seasons 2 onwards are some of the best sci-fi horror you will ever watch.

eagc72025-10-29 05:29

Its canon status is dubious, because it was not made by Marvel Studios and even the current head of Marvel TV admitted that the film side were 100& "cagey" about the canon status of the previous shows

FPG_Matthew2025-10-29 04:07

I watched AoS for the first time myself just a few months ago as well! I absolutely LOVED it. Wish I saw it sooner as well. I consider it canon. It was made to be canon, so.. it’s canon.

My favorite characters by a mile are Fitz-Simmons. Those two are pure treasures and honestly their story is one of the best Marvel have to offer.

When you’re done, be sure to recommend it to friends who haven’t seen it. Keep the show alive and maybe enough online chatter can get these characters back in upcoming projects!

Give me a Quake cameo in secret wars!

AggravatingStatus02025-10-29 04:31

It is canon up to a particular season when events started moving in a different direction.

Elote_Verde2025-10-29 05:46

Even then, still canon

AggravatingStatus02025-10-29 06:23

Canon in terms of the multiverse, but later on stop being canon to the MCU sacred time line.

Elote_Verde2025-10-29 08:48

Nah, canon to the sacred timeline the entire time. Literally the only inconsistency is nobody on the main team getting snapped, but even then… it’s not too hard to believe when you consider how many avengers also weren’t snapped

PurpleZebraCabra2025-10-29 04:40

Oh, you have so much good stuff ahead of you still. I've watched the series twice now. So many twists and good plot lines. So many great characters. I loved Fitz-Simmons too. As well as some characters you haven't met yet.

BaronZhiro2025-10-29 06:39

Not only is it awesome the first time, it’s awesome to rewatch too, when you can catch all the details that become relevant later. I binged it all three times in a row during the pandemic, and have seen each season *numerous* times since then.

s2 and s4 shine particularly brightly during rewatches.

KlausLoganWard2025-10-29 07:09

You are in for a ride. Awesome show.

indianajoes2025-10-29 08:19

We've been trying to tell you people for over a decade!

All we got in response was "it's not canon so it's shit" or "I watched 3 episodes in 2013 and RDJ didn't show up"

Fuckspez422025-10-29 08:55

There’s absolutely no reason you can’t consider the first few seasons canon. Later on, the timeline becomes a bit problematic (like no mention of the snap), but by the time you get to that point, you’re already hooked enough to want to finish it anyway.

Ornery_Classroom37132025-10-29 10:35

I just finished it for the first time last week and I loved it.

TrueLegateDamar2025-10-29 11:17

Dropped off after S2, it was okay but really couldn't stand the character who the show insisted was the most special awesome person in the universe.

Pleasant-Answer-9182025-10-29 11:56

AoS has some of the best scenes for Marvel that's ever graced the screen. And most of them belong to Fitz-Simmons and Skye.

GottLiebtJeden2025-10-29 12:53

I was late too. I had to binge the first four seasons, so I could watch the last three live. Season 1 really gives you an insight, to the B side of the movies. What goes on behind the scenes

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-29 13:15

yes! I think that's what I enjoyed the most of S1

GottLiebtJeden2025-10-29 13:42

SAME HERE

Terrible-Group-96022025-10-29 13:03

Brilliant show just soooo fun. Desperately hoping they bring back Quake

Disastrous-Pitch-9122025-10-29 17:22

please stop after season 3

Somewhatordinary22025-10-29 20:53

Ward is a character that you just love to hate, his arc is genuinely incredible.

Throwupmyhands2025-10-30 02:09

Enjoy seasons 4 and 7. The best.

Also, obligatory “it was released as canon” argument.

bayoububu2025-10-30 05:00

Agents of shield is one of the few shows that each season gets better and better. You’re going to have fun

FragrantGearHead2025-10-30 11:30

Let’s just say this.

AoS is a good show and all Marvel fans should watch it.

Like the MCU, AoS took many concepts from the comics and adapted them.

MCU Canon or not Canon, who cares?

Series 1 was very much linked into Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But later series got more and more diverged from the MCU movies.

The “not Canon” thing and the plot divergence were a result of arguments between various high ups at Marvel. To start with, Infinity Saga major plot points were being shared with the AoS production team, but that gradually dried up because of the feuding. So the show had to come up with plotting that wouldn’t be connected with the movies, and therefore wouldn’t contradict the movies, out of necessity.

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-30 14:37

I'm realizing that. I don't try to get into all the canonized stuff and just enjoy the show. It's a great ride; already over halfway through S2!

Katharinemaddison2025-10-30 11:47

Fitz is so beautiful. Just wanted to say that.

yourmomwoo2025-10-30 16:28

I'm sure I'll get downvoted for saying this but...

It started out as a really good show, but after a few seasons it gets pretty bad.

str8_whiskey2025-10-30 16:37

Welcome to the small but loyal fanbase

grayjelly2122025-10-30 17:27

Welcome to the small but active fanbase! You're gonna have a great time.

Possible-Inside-97202025-10-30 20:50

Im so excited you started it!!

Immediate_Channel3932025-10-30 23:28

I am too! Totally shipping Fitz-Simmons and I just finished Season 2. I couldn't imagine watching this as it aired; the cliff-hangers would literally kill me.

snmM262025-11-02 17:06

Did the show get cancelled or did it get a proper ending? I loved it at the start but fell off after a while

Immediate_Channel3932025-11-02 18:12

That's what I'm tryna figure out. I'm currently in the middle of Season 4 so I can't really say. It ended after Season 7 in 2020. Some online searches suggest it got a proper ending.

snmM262025-11-02 18:30

Wow I didn’t know it got 7 seasons! Maybe I’ll do a rewatch

SavingsFeedback51132025-11-03 03:01

And it only gets better

Immediate_Channel3932025-11-03 15:01

I'm in the middle of, what seems like, everyone's favorite season: S4 Ep17. This is honestly one of the best TV shows I've ever watched.
