I’m sorry but that alien that hit on Daisy and was in the head chopping “contest” with Fitz and Simmons… I love that guy! He had such cool fun vibes and was hilarious, wish he got a little more screen time because he cracked me up so hard almost every time I saw him😂 “oh I’m feeling it”😂😂😂 he looked like he was really feeling it too lol

Ok Coulson doesn’t make sense, he talks like he’s been to tons of planets and worlds but what created Coulson could’ve only happened within the last like 2 years so how has he done all that in a tiny time span and found these people and created an origin story that he can’t make any sense of

pretty much this

In season 2 episode 12 of agents of shield Ruben Rabasa played Cardozo with like 1 or 2 lines, he also played Ruben in antman and the wasp quantumania, while both of these appearances technically have different names on the mcu wiki they’re both just 1 name and could be seen as a first and last name, is it possible this one small appearance makes agents of shield canon?

I was rewatching the series after so long and noticed something. If everything went to plan for Malik and shield never did anything then hive would have started turning the inhumans that Malik had stock piled, the first of which would have been lash cos he wasn't in status just in containment. So lash would have survived all those centuries to return and be killed by the first inhuman he came across. The irony that the best thing would have been for hydra to win only to loose immediately after. Imagine Malik seeing his entire lifes work undo itself right at the point when he thought he got it all

Hi Guys,

I know I'm not alone in wanting Daisy and many of the others to return to the MCU. My questions is, how would you do it?

What project would you love to see Daisy, Fitzsimmons, Mack etc pop up in?

And how would you go about their reintroduction and who would you like to see them interact with?

The characters I would love to see return the most are Daisy, Fitzsimmons & Robbie Reyes

Im always amazed how this show starts a storyline and manages to end it 3 eps later. Makes time for so much character development. I fucking love Fitz. My fav.

What are skye's powers even😭 Is it telekinesis or like her name in the comic just quakes. Bc that thing she did with the water made it weird.

I really really really hope Mack and Bobbi come back to the team cus i just hate it. Mack was SO close with Fitz. And Bobbi and Hunter's relationship while toxic is like one of the best things for me.

Are we just going to skip over the fact May hadva husband😭. I was honestly surprised at Sif showing up again. I really thought we weren't going to see her anymore till Thor 4.

I really think Ward is manipulating agent 33. I just don't trust him really. That said he is still my second favourite character on the show. The story with his brother is just so COOL. As for agent 33... Poor girl i feel so bad for her.

Zabo is just so delightfully fun and evil.

Manthe story just keeps shaking up. Alien city? Write that off nobody cares anymore. Ward escaping? Meh not the first time. BUT THE TENSION BETWEEN FITZ-SIMMONS THIS SEASON IS TEARING ME APART. I loved them the first season. I still love them...just separately.

All the characters deserve a hug.(Except fucking Bakhshi ) Please no spoilers!!!

I think out of the entire MCU (whether AOS is canon or not) the best Nick Fury moment has to be when we see him reach out his hand as FitzSimmons are surfacing in the ocean at the end of season 1

Hi guys. 👋 First time poster here (on this sub, that is).

I've been a Marvel fan for as long as I can remember, an MCU fan for as long as it's been going, and an Agents of SHIELD fan since it started airing.

I consider AoS to be the secret heart of the Infinity Saga, tying so many things together behind the curtain. Philip J. Coulson himself if the secret main character of Phases 1-3. I say this knowing that the canon-status of the pre-Disney+ non-Netflix MCU shows are considered dubious at best; though I personally agree with the MCU Wiki's stance that the show is fundamentally canon to the MCU, despite being ignored by the film canon and Multiverse Saga.

My primary gripe with the Multiverse Saga (despite my loving most of it so far) is that it doesn't have a multi-season spiritual successor to AoS to fill the void left by its conclusion. If it has a secret heart, it's probably Loki, though it's so short (and I consider Loki to be a bridge between the Infinity and Multiverse Saga).

I often fantasise about an "Agents of SWORD" series having been made to glue the Multiverse Saga together, starring Darcy and Agent Woo, and telling the same kind of stories as AoS, and eventually SHIELD and the AoS characters would cameo/feature. But then, I also fantasise about Most Wanted, Ghost Rider, and Agent Carter Season 3 having been made.

It would make me extremely happy to see AoS acknowledged in the current/future canon.

That is all. Wish y'all a good weekend.

Just wondering if anybody watched the full season before watching winter soldier and if so did it ruin your experience for winter soldier? Or did you enjoy just as much as you think you would have if you hadn’t known about shield? And the other way around, for those who watched the winter soldier first did it ruin your experience for the big reveal in agents of shield?

I would choose Victoria Hand or the Koenig siblings.

Oh we are jumping right in ! Mike!!!!! Oh Mike! Oh nooooo WOAH Deathlok is way advanced

Ok sister team is back This little bald man i do not trust Have WE met the clairvoyant before?

Ok I fully trust Skye but why am I scared about her being the only one that will know everything here WAIT I had to pause!

Ok I like don’t know what’s real I think I can only trust my girl Skye rn Unless that’s what they want me to to think No that’s my girl —— end

I watched this episode 2 days ago but genuinely had to take a step back due to I’m way too invested. Can’t be doing fight or flight in the middle of the night. Stresses me out beyond belief to think that one of the team members is evil and I still don’t KNOW. Watched CA Civil War in the meantime and I didn’t love it tbh just made me sad:( Hate to see the boys fighting, I don’t even know whose side I’m on. Loved meeting Black Panther and Spiderman tho. Sooo who the hell was that half dead guy and who was controlling him!!??? Real excited for Skye x Ward love story that I have convinced myself is happening. Ok I’m ready for the next one bring it on I guess

ALSO: It’s very endearing how many of you want to witness my first watch experience, I’m having a blast. Really glad I stumbled upon this community :)

Ok recap is hinting at a problem with mayward. Oh hi Lorelei This is a crazy power omg Awww Simmons and Skye 🫶 Awww Ward and Skye Ok chill Ward obviously Mike would save Skye if he could. The mfs in his eye and brain!! My guy Coulson is fighting DEMONS Ok well what favor did he call in OHHH HE DIDNT SAY ITS A MAGICAL PLACE!! Yeah you tell em it sucked!! Did Ward get way hot since the last episode or Wait that’s thors girl! Lady Sif! God dammit not the world is in grave danger again

Awww Thor loves PC! LOLLLL “PHILLIP SON OF COUL” 😭😭 This is the best confused asgardian joke wow

Ohhh men will kill for her I see. Ok this is a non issue can’t May just handle it. Like this isn’t not a big deal if it doesn’t work on ladies The corny comments mid-combat I can’t shh

Oh god Lorelais goenna get Ward OH THIS COULD BE HOT I’m DEADDDDDDD WARDDDDD WAIT HAHAHA BYE??? Oh god Um that was fast

Hello Oh. No. An army by Ward would be terrifying Ok they had sex

Aw I feel bad for Lorelei OH I wish I was Lorelei Can ward not kill Sif pls OH OHH NOOOOO Ward is gonna hurt one of us nooooo I HATE LORELEI

Omg May Omgggg They both said they like each other awweeee if only they told each other Hello im scare d Evil May vs evil Ward plus sexual tension plus actual tension This is fucked actually Looking at Ward as an enemy is cool and unsettling

Oh Fitz got got!! Oh it’s all on the girls! WARD. NO AH MAY YOU CANT FIX HIM NO REALLY YOU CANT OH NO May GIRL Sif JUST warned you why do you think you can beat asgardian powers OBBBHHHJHJ WHATTTTTTTTT IT WASNT MAY??????? AHHHHHHH ITS SKYE HE LOEVES SMGE

OK NO TIME TO DWELL WHAT Fuck you lorlelei I hate this bitch

WHAT IS WITH HER DOES SHE WANT TO DIE ohhhh yeah she’s way better silent

Holy FUCK HE PULLED THE TRIGGER

Oh I just love Sif!! What a sweetheart

Yeah everyone needs to talk

Oh already forgot Ward LIKES SKYE ACTUALLY and not May

Ok Ward and May talk went.. as it could have. He didn’t even know it himself. Not his fault but still sucks. Can’t fault May for her response either like what is she supposed to do. Such an odd and abrupt way to end a relationship with their particular circumstances. Good thing their on the same team and neither of them are emotionally stable enough to move past this 👌

Coulson and Skye chat I do expect to cry Oh it was ALIEN?? Sorry why is that a problem no offense Ok yeah I’m with Skye as always Goddd Skye is so god damn reasonable!!! Incredible mindset on life omg I need to be more like her

Woah woah Evil coulson is showing Honestly yeah this reaction makes more sense than before Wait Ohhhhhh is this the old Scary Coulson they speak of??? Can confirm he is Scary. Understandably so i guess Oh that is super sad though

Yeah of course shield has them tapped OH MAY DOES, Omg Omg COULSON KNOWS woahhhhhh ——- end episode More coherent thoughts after reading notes:

I fear I’m gonna start to hate Coulson and it’s breaking my heart already. Hopefully Skye can get to him, they have a special bond. Or maybe it’ll be a way to get the whole team kinda back and united.

What did Rainas machine do to him. Something that used to be there seems to have worn off… Also definitely not cool that May has the lines tapped but she’s probably being ordered to do it for by Fury to keep the secret from PC. Still sucks but it’s prob for his safety and she prob doesn’t have a choice.

Cannot believe ward pulled the trigger what the actual fuck. We’re lucky he’s not dead because of that fact honestly. May is actually being so calm. She saw him make out with Lorelei too!! AND she found out he likes someone and it’s not her 😭😭 Truly a miracle this man is alive. Which makes me think she really does like him :(

Next episode titled The End of the Beginning has me feeling troubled.

In my country, there's not much discussion about this show because it's already finished. The circle is too cold.😭😭 Here, I felt everyone's enthusiasm, and you all still love this show so much. That's great! Shield deserves it!😘😘

For those who don’t know, this is the opposite of OTP (one true pairing) and it is the pairing you will never, ever ship. What’s that for you in this series?

So I've seen a couple of people talk about watching the show for the first time relatively recently on the sub, and it gives me crazy nostalgia. Obviously because I desperately love the show and intend on a 5th rewatch soon, but also because I have a really personal connection to it.

My (32m now, 21 atp) mom (would be 67f atp) and I did not share any interests. At most, we would watch Judge Judy episodes together fleetingly and we'd occasionally get mad at each other over the conclusions, lol.

Queue Avengers, which she watched grudgingly. She adored it though. And when AoS came out and she knew Clark son of Greg was in it? She was SOLD. And her and I RELIGIOUSLY watched ever episode together, whether I was living at home or not (I moved many hours away for a period of time). We'd call and talk about every single episode for over an hour sometimes, and it was some of the best fun we'd had together (aside from gardening, lol, we both loved that).

We also adored watching Wandavision and FatWS together

She passed in 2022, ironically on April 1st, and honestly reading people's reactions has given me some of the best recollections of her and my conversations I could have ever asked for.

Thank you, folks. I genuinely love y'all. And as my mom always quoted, "We are a small but vocal fan base." ❤️

To your mind, which would be the worst spoilers to hear in advance for a new viewer? Like, which developments would really distort the viewing experience if you already knew about them?

I’m assuming that most new viewers would have seen Winter Soldier, so I’m putting that in a special slot, but off the top of my head, these are my best guesses in approximate order.

0. SHIELD is rotten with HYDRA

1. Ward is BAD

2. Skye is destined to be a superhero

3. Fitz’s capacity for evil

4. “I can’t feel my legs…”

5. Coulson’s gonna die for real

6. Garrett is BAD

7. Talbot’s gonna become a big bad

8. Ward’s gonna both die and become a big bad

9. Trip’s gonna die

10. Fury turns up to save the day

11. Hunter comes back to save the day

12. PhilMD

13. Lash is May’s ex-husband

14. Philinda is actually gonna happen

15. Sousa turns up and then joins the team!

Notably, the Disney+ interface actually spoils 11. I managed to keep my sister from seeing it before she saw that episode, but it ticks me off at whoever wrote that preview copy, cause I myself was so delighted at that surprise.

I’ve left out things like FitzSimmons’ ship and AIDA going rogue because they’re rather telegraphed in advance, but you might consider them crucial spoilers, I dunno.

So what do you think? And what have I totally forgotten that would be awful to know in advance?

I know it’s not exactly relevant to the series but talbot has to have been one of my favourite characters and hearing little comments from about commies and democrats makes me feel kinda weird about his political beliefs regarding the lgbtq community and abortion rights. Please don’t yell at me in the comments but do you guys consider him a republican - pro life - gays for trump kind of man or a full blown conservative? Still love his character just get a weird energy about him and how he’d behave around other queer people and the talks he would’ve had post roe v wade.

When General Talbot “absorbs” (for lack of a better term) Carl Creel, wouldn’t he gain Creel’s ability to transform into any element? If so, wouldn’t he, therefore, be able to transform into gravitonium, effectively making his search, for more of it, unnecessary?

I’m rewatching the show and just finished episode 2, in this episode Ward expresses major concerns about Sky joining the team, was he just trying to blend in and stick to his established character in shield, or did he think Sky would be able to hack shield well enough that she would find out hydra secrets?

I’m gonna start taking notes while I watch because I keep forgetting the details and then giving myself spoilers when I try to look them up. Here’s a website with a million tropes that’s too much for me right now but I imagine many of you will enjoy. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/AgentsOfSHIELD So here’s my chaos note from episode 13. Also wait can someone tell me how to link my posts so it makes sense like so they’ll all be in one place? I don’t really use Reddit like this and can’t figure it out.

Shield episode 13 Ohhh noo what have they done to Mike :((( This is worse than him dying lowkey. Hate the eye thing and the commands that shit is so creepy. I had to cleanse with something funny before going to sleep. Got the heebie jeebies

Oh god WHAT is project DEATHLOK. Surely that’s not good. Dang Mike is such a good guy this sucks.

I keep thinking about how Fury was the one “moving heaven and earth” to revive Coulson. One one hand he did an amazing thing keeping him alive. On the other he made his friend suffer. Badly. Also I can’t exactly pin point their relationship. I know they’re friends but is it really like THAT? Coulson must have done something way beyond bestie shit to make fury 1. Make that call 2. Invest so many of shields resources to save him. Like yes Coulson is a great guy I totally get it I would do anything for him to live too but… after he was dead for a day? I’d probably call it? I guess none of this would be possible without Coulson though. Dude is good at saving people. The claim that he wanted to bring back the Coulson he was before New York and the aliens… idk I don’t feel like we knew him like that before or after New York like is he really that different? HELLOOOO IS SKYE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO DIE??? Is this denial holy fuck I thought we were good we’re always GOOD!!!!! MAY AHHHH MAY She’s about to kill this dude Ohhh nooo are we sure we want to revisit the doctors that brought Coulson back???

OMG HES SHOWING HIS FILE TO EVERYONE THIS IS TEAAAAAA

Ok but …. Coulson had a not-so-good time with treatment is he really gonna put Skye through the same? Hmmmm

Ok this shield guy Garrett seems cool.

DAMN the clairvoyant is smart!!! Skyes not gonna die skyes not gonna die right right right Oh gosh is Fitz gonna die?? It freaks me out when he’s spooked. He’s not gonna die

NOTTT T.A.H.I.T.I. WRITTEN ON THE DOOR. HOLY SHITTTTT AHHHHH COUSONS SPOOKED FUCK OMH HE HAS TO LET SKYE DIE

WAIT NOOOOOO OKOK HES ALIVE AND GARREHT Something is not right. Why is Quinn so chill. I’m scared I’m scared WEIRD WEIRD HOW COULSON AND GARRETT TALK it’s like threatening but they’re smiling

I’m worried about Phil :( (Is Skye gonna be ok or also messed up) Oh shit he’s in TAHITI ALONE Oh shit oh fuck What are all those tubes WHAT GH WHAT THAT HOLY FUCKKKKKK WHAT THE DUXKKKKK IA RHAT COULSON???? IS THAT HIM???

OH he said don’t it but they did already!!! What is this Ok so why didn’t Skye suffer Was it just the brain thing robots that hurt? Wait soooo what What

Ewwww guys who WAS that top half of a dead body I hope Phil did not just see his old body. That would be just awful Not that a different body would be good either.

Lmk if you want to keep seeing my notes like these or just my thoughts after processing bit haha

Going to post here whenever something makes me say “holy shit!” (as per user dmckimm suggestion). And well... holy SHIT. I just finished episode 12, learned more about Coulson’s death and the still being alive of it all. The scene where his brain is exposed and being poked at by robot arms while he begs doctors to let him die was so heartbreaking. I shed some tears during most episodes but this one really got me. This coupled with Skye’s origin story had me in a puddle! That shit is crazy too!! I’m so happy for her to finally have an explanation for all the abandonment in her life. Shield being her family her whole life makes sense more than anything, it seems like she got some much needed closure too. But ummmm I do wonder why death was following her around as a baby??? The agent that dropped her off was soo spooked. There’s gotta be something precious inside her like an infinity stone or something same vibes. Or she has powers. ALSO I am obsessed with Coulson being ride or die for Skye. I was scared he would “trust the system” like he always does but he didn’t keep that secret from her for more than a day thankfully!! I hate when Coulson is sad man. That Tahiti stuff and him blurting “it’s a magical place” every time it’s mentioned is mad suspicious.

There is so much more to say ahh!! I can’t believe I’m just now getting in to MCU but I get it now!! Currently watching the movies from the top (release order). Last one I watched was Ant Man. Agents of Shield was a side quest as I didn’t have time watch a full film, so I threw this on expecting it to be a bust. Now I can’t stop watching.

Last thing I’ll say that I can’t shake is about Raina. She is soooo smoooooth it’s freaky. She can really connect with people and pull at their heartstrings even when it’s clear she’s evil. It even worked on Coulson!!! Idk they shared a long look when Coulson was rescued. It was almost sweet? The flower thing makes me uneasy too. Idk!!

The way this post didn’t even scratch the surface of my thoughts WOW there’s just so much here!! I love it!! Ask me questions that may entertain you! I’ll be in here for a minute if that’s quite alright. Please try to keep the spoilers to a minimum in my comments!! Obviously I’m late to the party so no hate if I do see something but I won’t be scrolling the subreddit. This really turned into a stream of consciousness sorry all I’m gonna go back to watching

I know I’m about 10 years late to this but this twist absolutely rocked my world what do you MEAN ward and may slept together wtf😭😭😭 I swear they’ve been setting up a romance between ward and skye since episode 1 and now he fuck MAY??? Don’t they have decades between then???

i guess a lot of people think season one is boring or not the best but i personally really like season one, i like the playful nature and seeing the team come together. it is also cool to see hints and facts rewatching it after learning about ward

To provide a thorough comparison of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to other Marvel shows, I’ll analyze the series in-depth, accounting for its storylines, characters, arcs, themes, and technical execution. Here’s a detailed breakdown of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., followed by a comparison with other Marvel shows to rank its standing objectively.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013–2020)

Seasons and Scope: The series spanned seven seasons, covering diverse themes, settings, and storylines: 1. Season 1: A procedural start tied to the MCU events (post-Avengers), but later becomes its own entity with the Hydra reveal (Captain America: Winter Soldier connection). 2. Season 2: Delves into Inhumans, adding new lore and expanding the Marvel universe. 3. Season 3: Focuses on the alien threat of Hive and further explores Daisy’s Inhuman journey. 4. Season 4: Introduces Ghost Rider, the Darkhold, and the Framework—a standout arc for its dystopian storytelling. 5. Season 5: Time travel, the Kree, and the threat of Earth’s destruction raise the stakes significantly. 6. Season 6: Explores Coulson’s death and return through Sarge, with cosmic elements. 7. Season 7: Time travel and the Chronicoms close out the series with a strong focus on the team’s legacy.

Strengths: 1. Writing and Storylines: • Ambitious and versatile, tackling everything from espionage to cosmic adventures. • The show expertly weaves long-term arcs while maintaining engaging episodic content. • The Framework arc (Season 4) stands out as one of the most emotionally and morally complex storylines in Marvel TV. • Time travel and multiverse elements were introduced and explored long before Loki and What If…?. 2. Character Development: • Phil Coulson: Transforms from a fan-favorite minor character into a deeply layered leader. • Daisy Johnson (Quake): Evolves from a rebellious hacker to a powerful, self-assured Inhuman leader. • Fitz and Simmons: One of the most compelling romantic and professional partnerships in Marvel, with significant growth. • Melinda May: A stoic, emotionally reserved fighter whose past and vulnerabilities are explored over time. • The series excels at developing secondary characters like Mack, Yo-Yo, and Elena into fully realized individuals. 3. World-Building: • Explores MCU lore independently, introducing the Inhumans, Chronicoms, and Kree. • Successfully builds its own mythology while connecting to larger MCU themes (without being overly reliant on them). 4. Emotional Depth: • Long-term relationships, such as Fitz and Simmons, provide genuine emotional payoffs. • The team’s familial bonds feel authentic, with their shared trauma and sacrifices resonating strongly. 5. Visuals and Action: • While limited by its network TV budget, the show creatively uses VFX, particularly in later seasons. • Action choreography is solid, with standout sequences like Daisy’s Inhuman battles and Ghost Rider’s fiery combat. 6. Themes: • Explores identity, morality, loyalty, and sacrifice with nuance. • Tackles systemic issues like corruption within SHIELD (Hydra infiltration) and the consequences of unchecked power.

Weaknesses: • Early episodes in Season 1 are procedural and slow, which turned off some viewers initially. • The budget occasionally limits the scope of its cosmic and high-stakes narratives. • Some arcs (e.g., Season 6’s Sarge storyline) feel weaker compared to others.

Comparing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Other Marvel Shows

Based on the above analysis, here’s how Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. compares to other Marvel shows:

Better Than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

1.	Daredevil
•	Superior in terms of writing, emotional weight, and action sequences.
•	Smaller scale but executed with precision and consistency.
2.	WandaVision
•	Innovatively structured and thematically rich, delving into grief and love in ways unmatched by other Marvel shows.
•	Limited runtime and tighter focus give it an edge in pacing and emotional impact.
3.	Loki
•	Explores the multiverse with greater ambition and higher production values.
•	Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki carries immense charisma and depth.

Equal to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

4.	Jessica Jones
•	Both shows excel in emotional depth and character development, with Jessica Jones focusing on trauma and agency.
•	S.H.I.E.L.D. wins in variety and scope, while Jessica Jones benefits from tighter, grittier storytelling.
5.	The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
•	Tackles timely sociopolitical themes but suffers from rushed pacing.
•	S.H.I.E.L.D. has more consistent character arcs and emotional payoffs.

Worse Than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

6.	Moon Knight
•	Excellent in psychological depth but lacks the long-term character investment and team dynamics of S.H.I.E.L.D.
7.	Hawkeye
•	Fun and grounded, but limited in scope and depth compared to S.H.I.E.L.D.
8.	What If…?
•	Creative but lacks emotional resonance and consistency due to its anthology format.
9.	Ms. Marvel
•	Strong debut but less consistent in its second half. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s long-term arcs and relationships feel more impactful.
10.	Iron Fist, Inhumans, and Others
•	These shows lack the quality of storytelling and character development found in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Final Ranking (Quality-Based):

1.	Daredevil
2.	WandaVision
3.	Loki
4.	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
5.	Jessica Jones
6.	The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
7.	Moon Knight
8.	Hawkeye
9.	Ms. Marvel
10.	What If…?

Conclusion:

After fully examining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it stands as one of Marvel’s most well-rounded and ambitious shows. While some newer MCU series surpass it in visuals or thematic tightness, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s character development, world-building, and emotional depth place it among the best Marvel TV has to offer. What do you think of this evaluation?
