Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I love the Netflix shows, but what Marvel Studios has done with them is making me more negative towards them, and it has nothing to do with the shows themselves but more about what they're doing with the Netflix shows that they aren't doing with AoS.

The first chance they get, they start bringing back elements from the Netlfix shows, like Matt in No Way Home, and Fisk in Hawkeye. And then Matt's in She-Hulk, and both of them are in Echo, where they officially canonize the Netflix shows (not like they were ever not canon but still) Then, Daredevil gets a revival and they bring back Punisher, and they're bringing back Jessica Jones, and Punisher is in Spider-Man next year.

BUT WHAT ABOUT AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.? Where's the Quake guest star on literally any show? Mentions of LMDs? Inhumans? Coulson or May? I swear May should've been the cavalry Fury referred to instead of G'iah in Secret Invasion, but at least AoS isn't associated with that dumpster fire. Why aren't they bringing back aspects of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., the best Marvel show of all time? It's driving me crazy, I need more AoS. They need to shut the haters and non canoners up, and bring back aspects of AoS because it was so fucking peak. I really, really, really hope the rumors of Jemma and Fitz back in VisionQuest are true. I really, really, really hope we get Daisy back somewhere, even in Daredevil: Born Again because she and Matt have a tiny bit of history together. Anything, I just need them to mention AoS in some way shape or form.

Unlike AOS, everything that happened in the Netflix shows was smaller scale and didn’t have a big enough effect on the wider MCU that warranted mentioning.

Starting with Coulson being alive and not shying away from the public eye, AOS events should have affected the greater MCU. And they would have. If AOS were canon. There are no Inhumans in the MCU, Ms. Marvel included.

Enjoy AOS for what it was instead of being mad about what it isn’t. To be clear, what it isn’t is canon to the MCU.

I agree with your first paragraph, but nothing else. Helicarrier, WHIH Newsfront, among other things say otherwise about the last bit, and unless the number of superheroes/superpowered people going from two to 10-15 in eight years counts as expontential to an anroid with probably the most detailed knowledge of the world, Inhumans exist. Also, WHIH Newsfront (a completely canon MCU project made by Marvel Studios as tie in to Ant-Man and Civil War) mentions the ATCU, which was created for the express purpose of dealing with the Inhumans, so yeah.

At this point, anything can be canon. Saying that AoS isn't canon doesn't make any sense in a world where even Wesley Snipes' Blade is canon. What AoS can't be is something that happened in the sacred timeline, at least not without some serious retcons that change most of the show. AoS certainly exists in the MCU, somewhere in the multiverse, and it could show up again; it's just a matter of having someone at Marvel with the will to do so. Nobody will try to stop it from happening by claiming it isn't canon.

The multiverse made everything canon, so now canon doesn't matter and AoS arguing over canon likewise has no real material effect on the MCU. We now have the reality that AoS not being used is because no one at Marvel wants it.

Kind of hard to fully canonize AoS with the canon contradictions in Seasons 6 & 7. Although with the time travel stuff in the later seasons & the current MCU multiverse stuff, I suppose they could say that those seasons were a branched timeline.

Not really, Echo showed us that the snap was pretty normalised by 2021, and that things still went on as they were before, so people being normal about it by 2019 doesn't seem like too much of a stretch. If Covid lasted a week but had the same amount of deaths, would people still bring it up as often a year later?

Nope, that's not how it works.

Tancharoen admitted that they were never given the scripts for the films in advance and were basically working off of leftovers. Eventually they stopped caring about the MCU and did whatever they wanted, and the show (in my opinion) finally lived up to its potential as a weird super-science show, got rid of Ward, and focused on nerds fighting supervillains.

SHIELD was doomed in Season 2 when it insisted that it get to keep being SHIELD with all of the benefits and freedoms of SHIELD even though no one in the MCU wanted SHIELD around anymore and the biggest event in the MCU was the outright, unreversed (11 years and running) destruction of SHIELD.

The fact that SHIELD refused to adapt and becoming something better or smarter or more clever until it could craft its own universe from spare parts was the reason it's not being taken seriously in the MCU today.
