Marvel would be able to make that work. But I think its really clever to have something that is easily seen as just a standard portal thing could be the actual thing that is the driver of the plot.

It's Down Under. "In the air" is towards the ground, where they've tied the cows to keep them from falling off.

I think having Galactus as being an actual large guy and just playing it straight would be the best tbh. That’s actually one of the things I like most about Agents of SHIELD (and to a lesser extent, the MCU - they’re not as good about it as AoS), is the willingness to play Comic Book Stuff straight and trust the audience to come along with you on it.

Only thing is I wish they would roll a little harder into Norse stuff with Thor. Ragnarok was super cool and fun and a great movie in general, but my favorite shot is just Surtr driving a giant flaming sword into the ground and burning the whole kingdom. It is just a cool look.
(Probably what I really want is a fantasy movie on budget with a Marvel movie, and art direction/cinematography more ambitious than Game of Thrones)

They seem to be completely ignoring the snap. Not even "the snap happened, but then we fixed it" but like they assumed the movies would 100% make it like it never happened. Which was a good guess. It's what I guessed. It was wrong.

And since they’re bringing in the multiverse they can simply say it’s a universe remarkably similar, but distinct, from the MCU.


Vvvv They mentioned Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw tearing up NY a couple times and then Casius tells Graviton specifically that Thanos has already landed.

I am guessing that all this takes place before the snap. Yes, Thanos was referenced in season 5, but it didn't say Thanos was there, just that he was coming for Earth, which was basically the behind the scenes story of the first Avengers movie.

Didn’t they show the New York fight at the end of last season? Maybe the events of Infinity War take place over the events of a year due to FTL travel?

I haven't gone back and double checked, but I think they only say something like "Even now Thanos has his eyes set on Earth".

I will go and check later today, but I thought the wording was enough to acknowledge Infinity War without committing to any development. You would think at least the studios would tell the TV to change the language to a certain way, without telling them the plot points.

Yeah, the final episodes seemed to be acknowledging the beginning of IW. And also the ABC shows have a famously strained relationship with the movie side of Marvel.

The references in season 5 were still vague enough that the show can reasonably claim to have actually taken place more than a year prior to infinity war at that point. In the end, all they do is state that "something weird is going on in New York" (when isn't it?) and "Thanos is coming to Earth soon" (soon relative to what?)

It wasn't a recognizable Thanos ship, and Talbot wanted to fight off all aliens, bot just Thanos. Also, the IW scene in New York takes place over the course of minutes, so it doesn't make sense for him to "gear up" for it.

Whatever they said at the end of last season can safely be ignored. They've retconned it to say this season takes place some time before the snap.

It's pre snap, its been said many times already. Pre snap... they had to fudge the numbers because they were in the dark about the movie details and when the show would air. So now they are behind

In Infinity War, Stan Lee casually asks Peter's class if they've never seen a spaceship before. This is because this line is actually acknowledging the events of AoS season 5 (which takes place before IW), where a random unrelated spaceship showed up in New York (as seen on the news broadcasts in the last ep) and was subsequently brought down or driven away by unidentified heroes. It's all connected!

Apparently the main reason they’re not addressing it is that, despite the show being originally targeted for the summer, they didn’t know if ABC was going to call them up and push it forward to mid-season.



Vvvv Here’s the quote from Whedon;

Co-showrunner Jed Whedon echoed the sentiment, saying it was the safest way to keep the show on track.

"For the multiple reasons, we had to do that," Whedon admits. "One of the main ones being that we were not positive when season 6 would air. We were pretty sure it was going to be in the summer, but if they moved us up to January and we had tied into in any way, it would’ve destroyed everything. So the safest course of action for all parties involved was for us to stay pre-Snap."


The article also mentions that they’ve been filming season 7 since February so they might not be dealing with anything to do with Endgame next season either.

I thought I heard somewhere that everything so far has been pre-snap. I don't know that I'm optimistic but they did call for two seasons at once, so they very well could finish this season with the snap and address it next season.

having seen endgame if the snap never appears in AoS and the series ends without ever acknowledging it I will be 100% okay

Yeah, after thinking about what a boring shitshow it'd be having the show try and follow along with that, I think I'm pretty okay with AoS just forgetting about it.
