Coulson says this about Daisy I believe “Her whole life, she thought she wasn't wanted, that she didn't belong, that every family that took her in didn't want her to stay, didn't care. — That's what she took away from the story, not the family she'll never have but the one she's always had. Here I am, telling her something that could destroy her faith in humanity. And somehow, she manages to repair a little piece of mine.“

I’m sure this has been said before but the world we see in the framework really makes me wonder what if we really do live in a simulated reality like a lot of conspiracy theorists think. It’s not like we’d ever know. And I’m not normally one to entertain conspiracy theories but I do believe that a lot of the things we see on tv happens/can happen in real life but they create show and movies to make it all look like fantasy.

Then Agent Mack’s response to learning that his daughter isn’t real and he needed to go back to the real world straight up broke my heart. I totally understood why he wanted to stay and I honestly probably would’ve just allowed myself to die with her if I was in his shoes. His reaction made me realize that even if we found out we were in a simulation the majority of the population wouldn’t want to escape anyways if they found it meant leaving someone they love behind.

“I tipped them off…Hail Hydra”

I’m rewatching AOS and seeing someone who completely matched Coulson was everything. They were literally the epitome of “match my freak”. Her death was so unexpected and so painful. The potential!! Ugh. I like Coulson and May but if i’m being honest I preferred her with Andrew (pre monster) and Coulson with Ros. UGH I HATE GRANT WARD.

Rest in Peace to Bill Cobbs (1934-2024)

Bill played ‘Old Man’ in the series finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. delivering a crucial piece (which he received from old friend Enoch) to build the portal bringing our Agents back into their timeline from 1984!

When I watched the show for the first time, I really thought they were going to put him in each seasons with a twist each time.

In season 1 he was a good guy, season 2 was the bad guy, season 3 was Hive, season 4 was framework.

Would have been coon to have him in seasons 5, 6 and 7 too.

Maybe with time travel for S5 or S7. As a LMD also.

What do you think?

In my ignorance, I imagine they only knew week by week as new scripts were released, but in reality, they probably knew well in advance, which makes the cast even more respectable as really good actors.

Love this show.

Hail Hy....S.H.I E.L.D.

I believe Lincoln's character could have a lot more development rather than being killed off in season 3. If he was forward in the show, what kind of development would you have liked to see him going through?

Writing this vague & spoiler free.

When Fitz is trapped in a prison cell for some time & forced to work out a problem he writes all his calculations on the walls but also draws a lot of monkey faces.

We also see the same monkey doodles on his dorm wall in a flashback scene in a later series. (This post won't let me upload another photo.)

But I couldn't find anything definitive & the internet references a monkey in a later series I haven't watched yet so don't want to look at spoilers!

I'm on season 6 currently. Loving this season btw!

I finally got my friend to watch AoS and I was wondering if there was a good list of when to watch the movies alongside the show. I found some online but they all include things like homecoming which isn’t relevant for the story of the show.

I have personally fallen off lately, haven’t watched The Marvels or Echo. I’m not terribly disappointed in the content, but there have obviously been some bombs. I’m curious how everyone is feeling at this point right now as Agents of Shield fans.

If you don't recognize the man he is the agent that was in hiding from Cal after finding Skye after the massacre of the village.

I was thinking about him and his partner Linda Avery They were part of the team sent to investigate why the first team that we know was hydra (based on what Ward said) didn't communicate. If Hydra wanted to keep what they were doing redacted they would not send actual shield agents as backup.

Cal says in 2x20 that he didn't kill any shield agents just people who had it coming.

I am assuming he means hydra agents that were acting like villagers and shield agents.

But what about Avery and Lumley.

Lumley talks about how both him and Avery were partners fresh out of the academy so if they were hydra then they were not for long.

When Coulson found Lumley in 1x12 he was about to take cyanide which is a Hydra move.

I think Lumley and Avery were both Hydra but on this mission when they realized hydra was getting killed for trying to get that baby they decided to leave Hydra . They protected Skye but then I think Avery was killed by Hydra not Cal for betraying them.

Lumley is hiding from Cal and Hydra.

So fitz froze himself and met the team (who warped themselves)in the future after 74 years. Now that same fits came back with them to the present and sacrificed himself.
So Jemma and team now go to find fitz who is frozen somewhere in space?

how does this make sense? isn't the fitz of their timeline already gone?

3rd watch-through here: It seems every major female character in SHIELD is really quite attractive in their own ways. Yet I am always stunned when we are introduced to the classy, powerful Rosalind Price and saddened when she so quickly meets her untimely demise at the hands of Ward: They were really setting up her relationship with Coulson as a strong one, and POOF. Anyone else think the story arc could have been bolstered by this Spy vs Spy romance?

I see a lot of people on this sub hating Fitz removing Daisy’s inhuman control device. I don’t understand the hate. What was the alternative? What was the better way to handle the situation?

There might be a better solution, but I’m not sure what it would be. Any help here would be appreciated.

This is my understanding of what happened:

1. Compressed Gravitonium was needed to close the fear dimension.
2. The existing solution was too weak to contain the rift. Adding additional compressed gravitonium would be sufficient.
3. If the fear dimension remained open, it would have impacted Rivers End and potentially more, getting increasingly dangerous. It was crucial that the rift be closed.
4. They had Gravitonium that was uncompressed.
5. They were unsuccessful at finding a way to compress the Gravitonium without Daisy’s powers.
6. Daisy’s powers were disabled with an inhibitor.
7. Daisy said she was unwilling to have the inhibitor removed under any circumstance.
8. Later, Daisy confirmed that had they asked her, she would not have let them remove the inhibitor, preferring the rift remain open.

These are the alternatives I see:

1. Do nothing about the fear dimension and hope for the best
2. Give Daisy’s powers to someone else, like Whitehall and Malick did with transferring powers
3. Give terrigen to a bunch of people and hope for another Daisy
4. Get a bunch of scientists to assess the problem and hope someone sees something Fitz doesn’t see

The first option seems bad. The second is probably something Daisy would be equally against. The other options are time consuming and still might not work.

It still seems like the best option is to remove the inhibitor and hope that, when the time comes to destroy the world, Daisy can show more restraint than last time - of course in retrospect this doesn’t matter.

If Daisy does not have her powers, she cannot destroy the world, which, from their understanding, would successfully change the future. Isn’t Daisy’s objection that they do not know if there is another solution? Why is it reasonable to assume that they will not find a better solution to saving the world, so they should just leave the fear dimension open and live with it? Why assume Daisy’s solution is the only one? I mean, we know it isn’t right? They could restore her powers, close the rift, then kill her. That should work too as a last resort.

What am I missing?

edit: Thank you for all of your feedback. There's some I agree with and some I don't, but I understand the position better and have some new perspectives to consider.

edit2: I was not intending to start an argument, but more understand different perspectives. I definitely found myself arguing more than I would like. I'm sorry to all of you for that.

This is from the season five finale. It’s >!the last thing left in Fitz’ room after Jemma has packed everything else up!<. I’m assuming it has some significance but I can’t place it.

Im in s4 and the buildup and hype for the story of vjay nadeer is incredible just for him to die so soon. Whats the purpose of the scene where he went back to terrigenesis if he will not appear later? Its so exciting to see his powers and how shield would utilize it but a huge disappointment to kill him off.

What did the 17 on the >!thing Fitz left for Simmons!< signify? I know I should remember but I don’t. Also, I didn’t bawl this time so yay me? But this time through I know the story goes on, as opposed to when it originally aired

They were great characters. I particularly wanted Ward to live through the Framework so he could see first hand that there was good in him.

It just felt wrong to me. He had the same personality as Coulson and all his memories. But still it technically WASNT HIM at all but a knock off copy of him.

I know they all loved Coulson very much and his death was really hard on the team but I just find it a bit disrespectful to resurrect him in this way. He wanted to finally allow for nature to take its course and actually die. But instead they were selfish and went against his wishes by bringing him back as an LMD.

Then again it wasn’t him but an LMD but still sort of the essence of Coulson still if that makes sense. I don’t know I just think it’s disrespectful to replace someone you loved with a clone robot version. The entire time I just kept going “this isn’t even actually Coulson it’s actually an LMD”😭I LOVE this show and having Coulson back made the last season a lot of fun but man I have such mixed feelings about it. Part of keeping was happy that he was back but the other part kept thinking that the REAL Coulson is actually dead.

Also I get the same for Fitz since the real him died and he gets replaced by an alternate timeline version or whatever that was😭I think marvel has a problem of not being able to kill characters off and always bringing them back. But all it does is make death absolutely meaningless. Again still love the show but this was one of those things that always bothered me.

Because it hits you right in your feels not because you don't like it.

For me it's when Bobby and Hunter got caught and were forced out of Shield.

Breaks my heart, that last scene, ugh

I tweaked it a little but a soft bun lightly toasted, provolone cheese, proscuitto, and a hint of pesto aoili. I throw on some mixed greens because I definitely saw something leafy on his sandwich.

Love this show, currently on my 7th or so rewatch. But damn if this sandwich isn't one of the best things that came out of it

tell me your top 10 favorite characters and I'll tell you what I think about it :)

I absolutely LOVE how they explored May and Yo-Yo's friendship in season 7 and I don't see many people commenting on this, anyone else love them?

Earth quake caused by Talbot literally blew the earth into pieces. What could the magnitude be??
