Agents from SHIELD have packed his run after seven seasons and more than 130 episodes. The finale of the series was recently aired on ABC, giving Agent Coulsen and the gang their send-off. Even though the show has been largely removed from the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially in recent years, the finale has one important connection Avengers: Endgame.
Warning: Massive spoilers forward for the Agents of SHIELD rich finals. Read on at your own risk. Fitz had been missing for most of the last season of the show, but about halfway through the finale, the fan-favorite character of Iain De Caestecker finally appeared. While we come to learn, the timeline that Coulson, Daisy, and the rest of the core group characters explored this season was actually an industry reality far removed from the core timeline we know of the MCU. All the changes to the timeline made this clever reality.
The rules for time travel, as set out in the show, reflect the rules as explained in Avengers: Endgame. Time travel in the MCU has very specific rules that differ for a large part from other prominent examples in pop culture. Fitz, we discover, chose to stay behind and use the Quantum Realm to travel to the smart reality to take the group back to their universe and stop the Chronicoms. Fitz, in the episode, explains it this way.
“You went back in time and then you disappeared. But we can travel through something called the Quantum Realm. That we can go on between timelines.”
An enormous part of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the Quantum Realm let the Avengers pass the time and undo the deadly snap of Thanos Avengers: Endgame. Introduce these ideas into Agents of SHIELD provides great connective tissue between the show and the MCU films. But, as co-showrunner Jed Whedon explains, the idea was brought out earlier Finals hit theaters.
“When we first started talking about it, it was before ‘Endgame’ was released. We knew there were certain things we could not … It’s one universe and we really tried it. to be … We did not want to play the same game as they will play. “
While early seasons of the show were very connected Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with comedies by Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif) to help anchor it at the MCU, Agents of SHIELD felt for the most part removed from what was going on in the movies. That bringing the connection into the final was undoubtedly significant. Now Marvel Studios is looking to the future with a new wave of live-action shows being produced for Disney +, as well The Falcon and the Winter Soldier en WandaVision, which is directly tied to the movies.
