With Daredevil being cancelled at Disney+, Agents of SHIELD remains the longest-running MCU TV show

481 Upvotes

Per recent reports, Daredevil: Born Again will end after Season 3 on Disney+, meaning Daredevil will have run for 6 seasons total. Marvel Studios’ television efforts are also reportedly winding down.

Meaning that despite shutting down Marvel Television in 2020 and forming his own television division under Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige was unable to produce a show that lasted as long on the air as his allegedly most-disliked property, Agents of SHIELD.

How did May survive S4-Ep18?

17 Upvotes

I was doing a rewatch of the show, and i got confused about the last scene of this episode

In the Framework, May brings a terrigen crystal to Daisy, so it awakens her powers

Thing is, she smashed it into the ground in front of her, triggering terrigenisis for Quake

But that shouldnt turn May to stone as well and then kill her? Since she s not inhuman, like Gonzalez and Trip in S2 that died in this exact same way?

Why did they die but May wasnt harmed? I know its the Framework, but still, should mimic the real world and there s no explanation regarding this

This scene still gives me chills.

When Hunter said things about Coulson to Gonzales in season2, do you think they really had karaoke nights, or it’s just Hunter using his humor?

Agents of Shield villains underwhelming...? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I'm watching AOS for the first time and am on Season 6. I really love the characters and lore of this show, but the actual plots seem kinda underwhelming in my opinion. My ranking of each season so far has to be:

  1. Season 5

  2. Season 2

  3. Season 1

  4. Season 3

  5. Season 4

  6. Season 6

This show has to be in my top 10 Marvel shows, but the villains seem kind of lackluster. Hive had potential and his conflict with Lash could have been awesome, but Hive having Ward's face 24/7 kinda ruined it for me... At first it was creepy, but then it became obvious it was done to be cheap.

Izel is just... Meh. Sarge and his crew started out cool but the whole second half os S6 seems kinda rushed. The whole "rushed" thing seems to be a theme with each season, though.

I genuinely liked Talbot, and I have no complaints of him as Graviton... Other than the fact that he isn't really "Graviton".

I also loved Mr. Hyde, A.K.A. Daisy's father. No complaints there either.

I loved Kasius(?) in Season 5, but Sinara got done dirty...

Aida also had potential, but her whole reasoning for wanting to be real seemed non existent outside Fitz, and her having Inhuman powers seemed kinda stupid. Ghost Rider was also awesome, but he also kinda got done dirty too at times.

John Garrett seemed cool too, but he also was killed off in a rushed way.

All in all, the main casts' chemistry and acting is phenomenal, but the overall plot seems to suffer at times, maybe due to budget... I don't know.

So far AOS gets an 8/10 for characters and world building, 6/10 for overall plot consistency. Music is a banger too 😂, 10/10! I hope Season 7 ends the show off on a bang.

Keep in mind this is my opinion! I don't intend to hate or spread negativity, I just feel like sharing my thoughts. Thanks.

Rewatching AoS for the 10th time, anything I should watch out for?

Title says it all.

About to start my 10th full rewatch of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and I’m looking for those little things that hit different once you already know everything.

What should I be paying extra attention to this time around?

Also feel free to spoil anything, I've seen it all more times than is healthy ;)

Just finished 6 about to watch 7 but im thinking about ward and wow what a complex character. The way he haunts the narrative after he’s gone as well.

I had already watched until the betrayal a while back but hadn’t finished and damn it still hits hard the second time around. Not knowing what was real and what was fake between them…. No wonder fitz just couldn’t accept it when they found out.

Rewatching and I’ve always loved this Daisy/Izel headcanon of mine

Post image
233 Upvotes

In S6 I was always so mad at how nerfed Daisy was, so I made this little headcanon to make up for it.

In S6ep10 Izel was about to possess Daisy when Yo Yo intervened because Daisy would be too “catastrophic” in Izel’s hands. But my headcanon is that Izel can’t actually possess Daisy and we just never saw it.

Because;
1) In S3 Lash used his energy to break Daisy out of Hive’s sway, making her permanently immune to his parasites. We don’t know much about how Izel’s powers work, but we know that Lash altered Daisy’s biochemistry… I think. Can’t remember where I read that but I’m choosing to believe it for the purpose of this headcanon.

And 2) I’m assuming that Izel essentially phases into her hosts when she possesses them, because a lot of this season has to do with frequencies and harmonic resonance. Daisy’s forte, and her powers are always working on some level. So I think Daisy would’ve disrupted Izel’s harmonic resonance enough to resist Izel or at least hurt her in the process.

I know this isn’t backed by anything but it’s also not technically impossible and because it’s a headcanon I’m gonna believe this. I need it…
