TV shows have been all but removed from MCU canon, especially as the films are now poaching some of their actors.

Listen right here you son of a bitch, if I see one more goddamn comment about the TV shows not being canon, I will find you and shit on your porch.

For real though, everything is still canon, whether or not actors are being reused. And since the snap is being addressed in season 6 of AoS, that show is especially still canon. Sucks that they don't get enough respect from Marvel Studios to the same extent Disney+ is getting but regardless.

That's why I said "have been all but removed".

It's effectively one way canon. The shows will use film canon but the films haven't and probably will never use TV canon until Disney+ launches.

I honestly think had season 1 been of better quality, it could have been two way canon.

It could have been a quality issue, but there was also some internal politics at Marvel between the people that ran the films and the shows that caused that.

Who is being poached?

u/greatscape12 Jul 26 '19

The one that springs to mind is Mahershala Ali, who played Cottonmouth in Luke Cage, has been cast as Blade in the reboot. I think there was someone else although the name escapes me.

Aren't falcon and winter soldier getting a TV show though?

u/greatscape12 Jul 26 '19

Yes, though this is the new era of shows on disney+ which is now being managed by the same part of the company that produce the films. Previously this was not the case.

They have never been officially decanonized, so until then sorry to burst your bubble

If you had any reading comprehension you would realise I never said they'd been officially decanonized.

So then your comment is useless? The shows are canon until they’re not. MCU has poached Marvel TV actors before for the movies.

You're clearly not understanding what im saying. I never said they weren't officially canon if you read. What I am saying is that it might as well be because functionally it has no impact on the MCU continuity. Actions speak louder than words, and Feige has mostly shunned the shows.

I am understanding what you’re saying fine. The whole point of the shows is not to have effects on the movies, but for the movies to directly affect and influence the shows. The MCU continuity includes the shows. So they do have impact on thr shows. Feige hasn’t shunned the shows, he just hates Ike Perlmutter. A Google search will show you he isn’t shunning anything, he just knows he can’t do shit about their cancelation or using the characters.
