Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents of SHIELD TV series for ABC - General Discussion - LEVEL 11 - Part 10

[Dr Lee]

that could be interesting

 

[eon001]

Skrullson theory is interesting. My initial thought was it was Coulson from another reality.

I just hope it's not an even twin or LMD.

Very curious to see how they handle the snap. I guess that would explain why we have to wait till summer, after Endgame. It will give the writers time to adjust the stories to adapt to the movies outcome.

 

[NotNickFury]

I mean, I imagine by the time that Endgame comes out, the season will already be done shooting and writing at that point. Would there even be time to adapt?

 

[Dr Lee]

IIRC, ABC wanted the show to be a summer thing.... i don;t think it was an Endgame thing

They wrapped filming on season six last month.

 

[Dr Lee]

They were told before starting season one about the Winter Soldier events.... they probably knew the Endgame plans before last season finished

 

[NotNickFury]

That's a big "probably." After all, when reversed, the Civil War writers had no idea about stuff like the Terrigwn Mist or Inhumans stuff. Why would the SHIELD team be privy to details about Endgame?

Since Joss Whedon pulled out his family running the Agents of SHIELD seem to have no more knowledge than we do from seeing the trailers. So the show knew the Thanos name to drop and something happened in New York, which they overplayed and the timeline is iffy, the viewer just has to head canon a bit more time than most accept before Thanos' main force attacked Wakanda. At this point I doubt if they know the mechanism that Endgame will use to restore the stars to the MCU movies.

As I understand it they already had the wrap party for season 6 filming and are already going forward with the season 7 production.

So for two theories from the trailer,

Spoiler

Skrull or the Endgame solution provides a Coulson cure

The showrunners for AoS still need to run their story ideas through Marvel Studios, it has always worked that way. They were privy to IW as evidenced by the final 4-5 episodes of season 5 which were all set up around the premise of Thanos and his forces coming to Earth.

As for the trailer, the final line where Coulson is asked if he is from SHIELD and he replies "What is SHIELD", I think that is previous dialogue, it seems like I've heard that before.

 

[SPO2 Dalisay]

Coulson also carries what looks like a Starlord like double over and under gun. So presumably in space. And unlike the gladiator Inhuman auction barker these probably aliens never heard of the terrains S.H.I.E.L.D

Yes, wasn't it when they were in the Framework and they were trying to tell him what the real world was?

 

[SPO2 Dalisay]

The Framework world knew about S.H.I.E.L.D the Hydra "Turn ,Turn,Turn" was just successful there.

If there was any cooperation with Marvel Studios it seems to be in the timing of the trailer drops. Just as the Far From Home and Punisher commentary blitzing was slowing down here we are with two more minutes of content to speculate about.

 

[OB12]

Yes, wasn't it when they were in the Framework and they were trying to tell him what the real world was?

I can't put my finger on it, I'll have to go back see if I can find where he said it, but it is definitely played over the trailer in the same muted tone as his comment about Fitz being lost in space, which was definitely said in the S5 finale.

 

[KevTravels]

6th season has 13 episodes right? for a 7th; would they re-up to 22 episodes?

 

[OB12]

I believe the 7th season has already been renewed for another 13 episodes. Production on season 7 begins soon.

 

[Uskok]

Coulson is dead! Long live Coulson!

 

[Heretic]

If that Coulson look alike end up taking his name and stepping into basically the exact same role as the original Coulson, so...in a sense...Coulson remains on the show after death...then I will probably stop watching.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I mean, it's still quite reasonable to think there's communication, but I didn't see anything in the back half of Season Five that couldn't have been intelligently guessed by watching the trailer.

 

[Panacea]

There's approximately 0% chance that the SHIELD showrunners were told how Endgame ends. There's a good chance they were told what sort of story they could tell without messing up continuity though.

 

[KevTravels]

I believe the 7th season has already been renewed for another 13 episodes. Production on season 7 begins soon.

to air for the Fall or for next winter/Spring?

 

[tbg]

I believe in the spring. I also think Disney is setting it up to move to their streaming service by running 13 ep seasons, similar to how the Netflix-Marvel shows ran.

 

[OB12]

I mean, it's still quite reasonable to think there's communication, but I didn't see anything in the back half of Season Five that couldn't have been intelligently guessed by watching the trailer.

You think they would've been allowed to craft an entire arc of a season by gleaning what they could from a trailer? I don't buy that at all. I get the Feige doesn't care much for the TV side, but I also don't think he wants them to just flail about with haphazard guesses, potentially leaving them open to a contradictory or ridiculous story.

 

[NotNickFury]

I mean, the Hulu, Freeform, and Netflix shows haven't and didn't need to address the snap, so wouldn't that be potentially contradictory? Again, the fallout from Infinity War and possibly Endgame don't need to be brought up in the likes of Runaways or Punisher, but I think that they chose not to address it shows that they're just willing to tell their own story versus SHIELD which, while not acknowledged by the films either, tries to be more tied to the films than the aforementioned ones.

 

[Silvermoon]

Can't speak to Hulu and Freeform shows (are those even supposed to be set in the MCU like AoS and the Netflix shows are meant to be? I haven't been watching them, nor have I paid much attention to their production). For Netflix shows, though, I don't believe they addressed the snap in recent seasons because I believe they're still far enough behind in the timeline. As of Jessica Jones season 2 (at least) they'd only just (roughly?) reached CA: Civil War time period (what with The Raft now existing).

AoS, on the other hand, has mostly been running pretty concurrent with the film timeline(s)

 

[Flash525]

Does the snap need to be mentioned if it's all undone in Endgame? It seems futile to speculate here, as AoS will return after Endgame, so if anything needs to be addressed, it will have been, but it's not like half the population of the universe will still be dead by the end of Endgame anyway.
