Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S5 |OT| Six Seasons and a Seventh

Possible but it'll be weird starting a show right before sweeps starts. I'm guessing it starts after A4 is out but during sweeps.
I think you're in denial here, but I'm sure this will be made explicit one way or another very soon.
I'm not in denial, I think there's something incorrect in the reporting.
If I'm wrong, that's fine, but it makes little sense to premiere completely after A4.
I swear to God that if
, there will be anger.
AoS dusts anyone and I have to wait a year to find out what happened
It makes sense to me given the show's ratings and how Avengers 4 will almost certainly end, but YMMV.
But that's the problem: we know what will happen, especially if it premieres after A4.
That's why it makes no sense to do it that way. It's much more interesting to have a season that takes place in the aftermath of A4 than skip it completely.
Very strange.
I know what will happen, but not who it will happen to, the aftermath, etc. A midseason 6 would have been perfect for this kind of storytelling.
We all know how A4 will most likely end, and it's entirely possible that Marvel Studios doesn't want anyone but themselves defining what the post-IW world looks like.
That could be a possibility and the only reason why I could see them doing this.
But they have also been building up the events of IW in the show. Why do that at all if they're not going to actually react to it? Just ignore it otherwise.
The official line from ABC is that this is entirely their decision and has nothing to do with Marvel Studios. I suspect that's only partially true, but take that for what it's worth.
That kinda reminds me: does anyone remember when (Joss) Whedon attempted to make up for causing bad PR for his brother and sister-in-law during the AoU press junket by tweeting a hilariously amateurish meme of Coulson saying something like "Don't worry, Avengers, I know you guys have a plan for me and I'll be there whenever you need me!" I wish I could find that, but I swear to god it was a thing that actually happened.

That article was always clickbait. It was Joss' idea to bring Coulson back. He was never "bummed that Marvel brought him back."
He made a couple comments that as far as the movies go, he's dead. What he meant by that was that even though he's not dead, they can't write the movies assuming that the audience knows that. Millions upon millions more people watch the Avengers films than Marvel TV shows. His comments were taken literally and out of context. And that article is just a blatant falsehood.
I think they could still do that in a summer season. They just start it chronologically right after the end of Season 5 and then end it in the present and still cover the storylines that you want them to. Except this time they don't have to depend on the timing of Avengers 4 to reveal what happens in Avengers 4.
Well, no. I'm referring to having a couple episodes before Captain Marvel comes out then the show continues until a couple weeks after Avengers 4 releases.
I'm legit shocked that they wouldn't set it up that way. Will be interesting to see how the finale ends, given this scheduling news.
I mean, trying to do a season before Avengers 4 would've made it quite difficult when...
You'd have to lose 1-2 members of your main cast for no reason other then them getting dusted. That would suck for that actor. Sitting out 11-12 episodes to only come back for the last few? No thanks.
It's 50% of the population. They could easily have it so that the main cast doesn't get dusted at all. I mean, look who survived Infinity War: the entire original Avengers team. The actual dusting wasn't what I was looking forward to. It was seeing these characters navigate in a post-snap world, adding context to the events of the film that we honestly won't have the chance to see in the movies.
Nah its better this way because the audience knows ahead of time what happens in A4 so the show doesn't have to twiddle their thumbs until Avengers 4 premieres in order to deal with the fallout of that movie, you feel me?
Like with season 1 where they had to wait til Winter Soldier released to get the ball rolling.
Depending on the time frame between events of A3 and A4, they could really do some good stuff pre-A4 and post-A4. If it's like a few days then that might not be much.
But imagine if A4 took place months to a year after A3, there's so many stories they could tell with regards to characters and how things have changed since the end of S5.

Nope, not sure what you mean by that. How does the audience know what happens in A4? The audience has no idea how this will be resolved.
And the movies won't have a chance to dive into the impact that the end of IW actually had on the world.
Maybe I missed something, but if AoS is airing after A4 in the summer then wont audiences know...what happened in A4?
I'm not one to count chickens before they hatch, but if S6 isn't going to pick up until after the post-A4 timeline reset... it wouldn't exactly make much narrative sense to depict the IW ending in the S5 finale, would it?
Well, that's one way to name check Infinity War without having to deal with the consequences.
I reckon it still makes sense. The first few episodes of season 6 can be set during the events of Avengers 4 even if the show itself comes a month or so later.
This seems like a counting chickens before they hatch question. They could do anything including picking up S6 righr after IW. Hard to speculate until we see the finale this Friday.
It sounded like you were saying it works better to not premiere before A4... because the audience knows what will happen in it.
My point is that it's more interesting to see the characters react to the events of IW before it's "fixed" in A4, which is why I wanted a spring premiere.
Yes, I remember that happening, and I couldn't find it either last time I went looking for it. It went more like "Don't tell them, Maria, they need to focus on the mission and it might distract them if they knew I was here".
Yeah what I'm saying is they can still have characters react to the events of IW before it's fixed even if its premiering after A4 by setting the beginning of S6 before A4, and then having the "fix" come at whatever point in the season the showrunners feel the story calls for and not be tied to when A4 premieres.
That premiere window seems super rough to the actors and crew, who essentially are still blocked out of working other TV projects for the year but getting half the work.
You can film it the time you normally would and keep it in the can for a few months. Not a big deal.
But yeah Deke is a great addition to the cast and I do hope he sticks around.

Ward doesn't count. But I'll always love him for this:
I agree. Deke annoyed me at first, but the second half of the season has endeared me to him and even actually has me rooting for Daisy and Deke to become a thing, unlike Ward or Lincoln.
Besides, at this point, they are the only main SHIELD team members that aren't paired up. Plus, the comedic potential for Daisy to be dating FitzSimmons' grandson is too good to pass up.
I feel like everyone would roast tf outta Daisy if she actually dates him. I know I would.
After July, it's 8 months until Captain Marvel and 10 months until AoS.
That sucks.
That sucks.
Not to mention 18 months between Star Wars films.
That's some deadline here. Finishing vfx so close to premiere date.
Is it standard to be finishing VFX ~75 hours before airing? That seems like it's cutting it mighty close.
I am so ready for this. I want to be shocked and emotionally drained by the end of it (in saying that, I already know I will be).
I was wondering the same thing. It's likely pretty close to this time but maybe they had some extra... effects... to add.
C'mon guys, go easy on Mark and his team. It's not like they're able to get those VFX done in a snap.
