I just got my hands on the Marvel Studios: 100 Objects reference book and something caught my eye. The Sokovia Accords page seemingly references AOS. At least I can’t see how else it is supposed to make sense. I may be little late to the party because the book came out a month ago so correct me if I’m wrong.

The book states multiple times that the Accords are used by SHIELD. Not only is SHIELD disbanded prior to Civil War in the movies - it is dismantled prior to Age of Ultron. The events of Age of Ultron is how the Sokovia Accords got their name in the first place.

So it seems either the author got his information from the MCU wiki and this is an oversight, or, it’s actually a small nod that SHIELD is still around.

Am I missing something here?

Edit: if it’s unclear I am a fan of the show and know what happens in it. I’m aware there is reference to the Sokovia Accords in the show. I’m just surprised to find reference to it in the Marvel Studios published reference book.

while in the framework, aida somehow went against her programming and started project looking glass.

she knew that if she became a real person, she would destroy the framework, but she still created that body for herself and became human, even tho her primary objective was to protect the framework. she also killed radcliffe in the process, violating another one of her main objectives.

could it have been the darkhold? did the darkhold "want" to create more of "itself", to spread perhaps, and it knew that aida was capable of accomplishing that?

also, in the fight with anton ivanov(s), why didn't coulson just use his arm's shield to destroy all the LMDs just like he did with the first one

Found these today for $2 each in a comic book shop!! Didn’t know they had AoS inspired SHIELD comic books, featuring AoS characters like Coulson, Fitz and Simmons. i can’t wait to search for the other books in this series

I do have three requirements:

1. No non-canon ships. (This also means no SkyeWard) And while we’re on that…

2. No Ward redemption.

3. Must be canon-compliant or point of divergence. Originally wasn’t into point of divergence but I liked “The One Left Behind.”

Does anyone else see Hive when they look at Jay-Z's current hairstyle?

What is something Daisy Johnson should have been able to do with her powers as a vibration manipulater, but was never shown? And above all, what feats would you have liked to see her perform?

Fan favorite characters keep coming back in the MCU. Daredevil, Deadpool, Wolverine, Spider-Men. Even for smaller roles, X-23, Blade...

Do you think Quake will be in Secret Wars? Do you think Feige will give us the pleasure of seeing Chloe Bennet reprising her role as Quake, for the first time on the big screen, meeting other heroes?

So is the show Jaiying kills Gonzalez which helps to turn Daisy more towards Afterlife and the inhumans, but I have been thinking about what if it had been Coulson instead. It got me thinking of an alternate way the show could have gone which would involve Gonzalez taking over as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and turning Daisy into their ultimate weapon because while I think Daisy wanted to get to know her birth parents she didn’t really love them. Love takes time to develop and honestly Coulson was a father figure to her which makes him a threat to Jaiying since he already had her loyalty. So I was thinking what if she killed Coulson instead of Gonzalez and that’s my theory. She would have turned on Jaiying and Gonzalez would have taken advantage of it turning her into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s personal Avenger or even assassin on par with Romanoff only with the added bonus of her superpowers.

The MCU's most popular hero Iron Man returning as its next big bad Doctor Doom is a gutpunch - both in the casting announcement, and invariably when the marketing begins and into the movie itself. While Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark is framed by some to be the beating heart inside the larger MCU, I'd argue that's not true.

Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson is the heart of the MCU.

And much like RDJ, his MCU character is dead - and much like RDJ he was revived in a shocking twist (oh, those later seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), but with Downey's Doctor Doom returning in a big way as the centerpiece of the next two Avengers movies - it also opens the door to Coulson returning as well.

In this edition of Popverse's weekly series Marvel Matters, we delve into the reasons behind Coulson's exit from the MCU, what stands in the way of the character's return, and how he could be the logical pairing for Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom.

Both the people in both the relationships give more brother-sister energy. But don't really see the romantic chemistry. I definitely see Daisy being better with Lincoln. As for Phil and Melinda, I'm sorry, I don't see anyone with either of them lolol. I guess except for that woman with Coulson who >!got shot and killed by Ward. !<

Pretend you were Grant Ward, what would you do if Christian told you to push your younger brother into the well? What would you do if Garrett told you that he’d break you out of prison? What would you do if you were in Ward’s shoes? What would your life decisions and choices be?

…to reference the main event of the episode. (The only words you can change are “Fear,” “Loathing,” “Planet,” and “Kitson;” you can also change the word “on” to “in”)

Examples:

“Laughing and Tripping on the Planet of Kitson”

“Daisy and Jemma on the High of Puffies”

When Coulson and May are at Cybertek and as Fitz is feeding Coulson what to say, Coulson starts to say, “break” in a Scottish accent. Idk why, but that joke made me laugh so damn hard

Due to budget reasons they nerfed her powers down,as someone who manipulates vibrations her powers should be the most versatile of powers out there.

But let's say the budget was unlimited, what's something you'd want to see her do with her powers?

I’m high hey annoyed that they made him so I love you to Daisy for the first time right before his ☠️ and she didn’t get to say it back😭 that’s the very least she could do, besides cry.

It really infuriates me that they imprisoned him, knew the others would be coming for him and put him in the only place that hadn’t been secured where there’s a massive door open for anyone to get through…. These mistakes just seem insanely d u m b when they should know way better than to put him in the only place they could get to…. It’s so infuriating!

Does Hive have to absorb people to not wither away? Because I thought his goal was to wipe out humans but that won’t work if he needs them to survive without being weak, or does the connection with inhumans give him strength and replace humans?

I’m watching for the 2nd time and Hive just kidnapped Dr. Radcliffe and proposed the idea of making inhumans and I forgot about those things so I just started cracking up… when Hellfire, Scorch, Burning Man saw them and was like “even the women?” About how they looked, I died of laughter and now I’m just cracking up at the thought and how Hive didn’t want to fix them despite them having no power and not being near Radcliffe’s dream creation, or even you’d think Hive’s, you’d think he’d want an army with powers and common sense… I guess since he was hideous he wanted to make everyone else😭

This was brought up before, after Doctor Strange 2 came out. We learnt that the Darkhold was simply a copy of runes from Mount Wungadore.

What we learnt in the Agatha premiere was that Agatha actually had a few copies of the Darkhold, all of which were destroyed after MoM. I think given the conflicting histories and different appearances, its far more likely that the one in the series was just another version.

Sidenote: If this is the case, Im happy that it doesn't conflict with what the show established. Also, the show did Wanda's arc with the Darkhold in MoM, first.

Does anyone understand why Hive took so long eating people food when all it seemed like he had to do was get those 5 people and be recharged by ☠️ them…. Why did he wait so long and let himself be weak and helpless? I don’t get why that wasn’t the first thing he did and also… they said he couldn’t stand yet he walked out in front of Malick’s car when they were fleeing the portal🤔 it’s ridiculous because he supposedly couldn’t walk but if he wouldn’t have made it to Malick’s car, he would’ve been discovered and contained…. There’s no way someone wouldn’t report a dude looking like that

I'm aware that this may be an unpopular opinion, and feel free to send downvotes my way, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

I'm currently on my 2nd full rewatch of AoS (and like 4th rewatch for S1). Unfortunately, S2-3 don't seem to connect with me like they do with apparently the rest of the fanbase. I'm not a huge fan of Daisy's parents, Inhumans, Afterlife, the "real SHIELD," or Hive, and HYDRA got to the point where it was way overplayed by the end of S3. Regardless, it's not like these seasons are terrible. They keep me relatively emotionally invested, the action's cool, and I adore the characters (for the most part).

However, each time I've tried, I get the same feeling during these seasons. I immediately feel like something is "off," and it's honestly pretty obvious. I fell in love with the cast of S1, but then, for some reason, they found it necessary to add in a TON of new characters that I'm expected to care about. S1 already had a big cast, with 6 main characters, but S2 adds Trip, Mack, Hunter, and Bobbi. That's 10 characters! Then, Trip dies, which is probably a good idea, but they immediately throw in Lincoln to replace him. On top of that, they got the whole "real SHIELD" shit going on which includes Gonzalez. It all just feels like way too much. I watch AoS because I want to spend time with the core cast. All of these newbies actively take away screentime, and we're simply expected to care because they're SHIELD agents...

Then, in S3, we get another big dump of characters to suck up more screentime, like Joey, Yo-Yo, Lash, and Rosalind, which is frustrating, but then 3B rolls around, and they finally begin to course correct. By the end of S3 we lose almost all of these characters, which leaves more room for the characters we actually care about!

I think the reason why everyone (including me) loves S4 so much is because it's finally fucking focused! We get a slimmed down core cast of characters that stays consistent for the rest of the show. Coulson, Daisy, Fitz, Simmons, May, and Mack (and Yo-yo), make up a perfectly balanced core cast.

Whether people like Hunter & Bobbi or not, I genuinely get the feeling that I'm not the only one that felt like the cast was way too bloated, which is directly attributable to S4 being considered the best season of the show.
