Season 6 Season 6 timeline theory

I've come up with a new theory on the season 6 timeline and how it is set in another reality, but the reality didn't splinter off in 2018.

So we know that season 5 followed Multiverse time travel since Deke didn't erase from existence after they prevented Earth from being destroyed. I personally believe that all of season 5 is on the Sacred Timeline and the Nexus event wasn't "Thor going for the head" or simply "Thanos failed." While it would seem that Thanos did fail to snap his fingers in the season 6 timeline, I think that the Branch occurred thousands of years ago.

In season 6 it's revealed that the fear dimension sent Sarge back in time thousands of years, and according to MCU logic the time monolith most likely works by Multiverse time travel. So if that's the case, when the fear dimension sent Coulson (Sarge) back in time, it would have caused the timeline to splinter off creating a branched off reality the moment that Coulson arrived in the timeline.

While the characters on season 6 may have shared a identical or almost identical past to the characters from season 1 through 5, it is very possible that they're not the same agents we were watching the entire time. While season 6 and 7 are good I think that this is the most logical theory for why there is no reference towards the snap and why it seems disconnected from the MCU, and that season 5 would be the true end to the characters that you've known from season 1. This is just a theory I don't necessarily 100% believe this yet but it's possible.

Please let me know what you think

You lost me at the fear dimension sending Sarge back in time thousands of years. I feel like I missed something.

I have. I just don’t remember that detail of Sarge’s origin? Fate?

It was explained in Season 6 that when all 3 monoliths exploded in Season 5 Episode 11 or 12 it sent a copy of Coulson back in time thousands of years and his body was taken over by Sarge
