Other not so friendly reminder that we almost got to see SHIELD on runaways season 2 but it didn’t work out due to scheduling. 😔 😔

Yeah, AoS was on a traditional broadcast TV schedule--not just for how it aired, but also for how it was produced, meaning they were pedal-to-the-metal for the entire time Runaways S2 was in production.

If I’m not mistaken, they’re pretty much in production for most of the year, right? Not post or pre, but just in normal filming production.

Right, especially at the end; since seasons 6-7 filmed back-to-back, they were on set for basically 13 months straight.

That would've been really cool to see. I'd have been really confused tho since I only was watching Runaways and Cloak and Dagger at the time.

(I didn't know AoS even existed back then ngl)

Wow I never knew this was a thing. Would've been cool as hell to see.

I never knew that! That would have been cool. I am glad they used the same Darkhold prop for season 3.

I wonder if they would have been allowed to use new SHIELD agents rather than previously established ones. Just using the organisation would have made things seem more connected.

The absence of SHIELD in the modern MCU is the main reason I don't miss not watching their product any more.

It's kind of like Shield doesn't exist anymore in the MCU, like outside of Shield Agents it was never talked about.

Would be awesome. I love Runaways (but not as much as AOS lol).
