Proteus Jones posted:Beyond a conversation or two, at most, there will be zero tangible impact of movie events. Just like all the other times except the Hydra reveal in season 1. Aww, don't be so cynical. Surely this season will be the one to bring in Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, DareDevil and Colossus all at once to fight evil wizard Dr. Doom.

counterfeitsaint posted:That doesn't make any sense. Possible yes, probable? Of course not. The snap is literally taking a fair coin and flipping it it 8 billion-odd times. There are, what, six primary SHIELD characters (Daisy, Simmons, Mack, Yo-yo, Piper, Davis)? Seven if you include cryo-Fitz? It's a guarantee that you're going to see streaks of heads that long over that many trials, and while it would be slightly suspicious that the people who happen to be on a TV show all magically survive it's entirely statistically reasonable and that's enough for television.

Random chance sparing the main characters in a TV series is extremely likely actually. If they choose to not ignore infinity war completely, at most 1 person will get dusted.

alternatively, the new season picks off 5 seconds after this one ended, they pick up 2 [incredibly important and nuanced characters], who get dusted at the end of the episode. Shock horror.

It would be a significant and unnecessary gamble to make Infinity War required watching in AoS. While your Marketing Overseers are no doubt pleased with the rate at which you consume Marvel media, in their wisdom they realize that not everyone does so. If they don't refer to Infinity War, the obedient Marvel consumers will grumble a bit online and continue consuming; if AoS forces people to watch a film just to understand why a character went away, some will simply stop watching. This is contrary to the goals of all TV shows that aren't on PBS.

You can explain that things have happened without requiring people to have seen a movie. This show has been threading that needle the whole time.

Basically the show had one big tie-in with a movie, and now has nods every once in a while to establish they're still in the same universe and embolden people to jump in with day one spoilers.

They also connect thematically more than they intersect literally. Like, this season was all about "if we kill this one guy, we stop the oncoming shitstorm" and the characters refusing to do it and, well, yeah.

I posted a bunch how I was worried they wouldn't come up with a satisfying ending for the time loop and I was right. Where things are completely fixed and people can't even speak different words even if they've heard the conversation before while people repeatedly fail to break the time loop and it proves it's pre-destined to happen to create extreme tension of certain failure for 99% of the season at the very end Coulson just goes "Nope, time loop is over everyone gg."

Consider instead that they _were_ speaking different words. For example, the flashback Robin had in that one episode never happened to them in this timeline. And as for why this iteration broke the loop, it's because we're following the timeline that survived. The whole season was basically about trying to figure out whether or not they were working on 12 Monkeys (the movie) rules, and they just proved at the end that they're not. It's the same thing when people ask of other works of fiction "why did the main character happen to survive this thing that killed everyone else?" Sometimes yeah it's plot armor but it's also because we're usually following the character who survived. If that character had died and someone else had survived then that someone would have been chosen as the main character from the start.

The whole season was basically about trying to figure out whether or not they were working on 12 Monkeys (the movie) rules, and they just proved at the end that they're not. It's this. We just have to assume that there were likely countless iterations preceding the one we watched where they failed (just like Fitz suggested), each one being slightly different but not different enough. What was the one thing that finally made them break the loop? I dunno. They dunno. We have very little insight into the other iterations (only Robin's visions and future Yo-yo's comments). They just happened to save the Earth this this time so roll credits.

I'm inclined to think that the thing that broke the loop was actually Deke talking to Daisy and basically telling her to get over her poo poo. This led her to make Mack the team leader, leading to his survival, and Coulson overheard her speech and got the idea to give her the Centipede serum.

I think Deke is the key that changed the timeline.

If Deke's presence is unique to this timeline, then why did Deke's grandmother have the same exact ring in the timeline he came from when he wasn't in the past to pick it out for her?
