"The Avengers were a family!" No, at best they were workplace buddies

When Thor went off after killing Thanos, did anyone bother to check up on him? Send a call, a postcard, anything? Nope!

When Natasha died, even though they didn't have her body, did they try to hold a ceremony or vigil in her honor? No, they just threw a bench over a lake

This is one of the reasons Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will always be better to me, because they were a family. They genuinely cared about one another and wanted the best for each other

When Daisy went rogue, Coulson spent months searching for her. Not because "Quake" was a vigilante, because he wanted her to be safe. Because he knew she would heal better with them

When Fitz was locked up by the US military, Hunter came to his aid. They escaped and when it turned out they needed to go back, he didn't protest, because he knew Fitz would eventually succeed. Because he knew that he needed the pod to save the others

When Daisy was let go from Hive's sway and she had so much self-loathing, Mack was by her side. He held her and hugged her and assured her that everything was okay, that she was a good person, even as she was trying to hit him. And when she ended up collapsing and crying in his arms, he stayed with her

The Avengers are fine. Okay, they're. Fine. But they're nowhere near being a family like the S.H.I.E.L.D. team is

Every time a show with great potential gets canceled, I'm reminded that this would have been Agents of Shield if it aired a decade later that it did.

It would be 10 episodes with no time to care for the characters, the Ward reveal would fall flat, Daisy would stay as Skye, Fitzsimmons wouldn't be canon, May and Coulson would never become something more. And we would never meet Mack, Bobbi, Hunter, and we'd be robbed of one of the best fun shows that ever aired.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

One reason why Agents of SHIELD is one of the more interesting Marvel/MCU projects out there is that you can pinpoint the moment where Marvel started to lose interest in the show and gave more creative freedom to the showrunners. Because at the start, it was just a glorified vehicle to advertise Phase 2. There was the direct tie-in to Iron Man 3 and the Thor: The Dark World episode.

But then, near the end of season 1 and throughout season 2, you can tell that Marvel Studios started to care less and less about the show and, thus, gave more leeway to the showrunners to do what they want. And this slowly led to the show becoming darker, edgier, and grittier. I think since the show was starting to become less of a season-long commercial for the movies, the showrunners didn’t have to be so family friendly anymore.

Let me put it like this. In season 1, you had an episode where Fitz and Simmons were working on pranks to do on the crew. Also, Skye being outed as a cosplayer and the gag scene where Fitz got stuck at a door.

In season 4, the season literally starts with a Daisy Johnson panty shot, followed by Ghost Rider murdering white supremacists. It’s not even subtle violence, a character gets covered in someone else’s blood, with the implication that Ghost Rider tore that dude’s neck or something.

If you weren’t there at the time, I can’t stress enough just how different the show felt when season 4 came along.

I am literally so happy that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't made in this era of television, like... the amount of episodes we wouldn't get?

We would have 8 episodes, maybe thirteen if we're lucky, but it would both stretch out the plot too thin while also not giving it not enough development. So many things would be cut out, so many perfect iconic moments we look back on today would be gone to fit the tight runtime

Oh, and then it would end on a cliffhanger only for it to get cancelled a month later cause it didn't reach those ridiculous streaming numbers

(And if it didn't get cancelled, it would take two years to make the second season)

Bring back 22 episode shows

If the AOS team was in Endgame

Steve tightens his shield, glaring at Thanos, ready to get back into the fight, when suddenly his comm link crackles to life.

Steve shakes his head, not believing what he's hearing. Suddenly, the link is clear as day.

"On your left."

He turns to see a portal, and out walks the king of Wakanda and in flies Sam Wilson. More portals appear, and everyone has come back. Stephen Strange walks out of the final portal and Wong quickly finds him.

"Is that everyone?" Strange asks

"What, you wanted more?!" Wong says indignantly.

As Scott Lang crashes through the rubble, releasing Rocket Raccoon, Smart Hulk, and Rhodey, Steves comm link crackles to life once again.

"I was sad to see we didn't get an invite. Mind if we crash the party?"

Captain America's eyes widen. That voice belonged to a dead man. He raises his hand up to the comm. "Coulson?"

"Yeah, and some friends."

Suddenly the ground starts to shake, and a woman seems to levitate safely to the ground. "It's clear here, AC." She says through the comm. A loud whirring is heard from above, and a helicarrier descends on the battleground.

"You didn't think we'd miss this did you Cap?" Coulson said, climbing down from the helicarrier.

"Truth be told I think we all thought you were dead."

"I knew he was still alive." Tony said

"Let's cut the chit-chat, we've got half a universe to save." Agent Mackenzie says gruffly.

"Avengers! Assemble."
