Skye: that's the guy I have a crush on

Skye: thoughts?

May: and prayers, girl

DAISY JOHNSON in every season ✶ Season Seven

She's doing great. She's been through a lot, but, um…It's funny what can happen when someone believes in you.

"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.

Her whole life, she thought she wasn't wanted, that she didn't belong. That every family that took her in didn't want her to stay. Didn't care. But all the time, it was S.H.I.E.L.D protecting her, looking after her. That's what she took away from the story. Not the family she'll never have, but the one she's always had.

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.

Another thing I'll always love Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for is how they expand the roles of minor characters

Think Gideon Malick. You ask most Marvel fans who the hell he is and they'll probably say they don't know. You ask them if they remember the guy from the first Avengers film who sent a nuke at New York, and they'll be like "oh! That bitch!"

Malick is a character everyone knows but they don't know his name, the guy the fandom pokes fun at (for good reason), and yet this guy who was so willing to blow up millions of people is never expanded upon in the movies

But AoS does. They take this minor character and create a story for him. A story that not only fits perfectly with what he wanted to do in "Avengers", but also fits with the lore they've created. It all works so so well

They do this with their own characters, too. Piper and Davis were mere background characters in s3 with a line or two, but by s6, you have an absolutely gut wrenching scene where (SPOILERS) Piper is forced to watch as Izel kills Davis

The writers are just so smart with all of this. They know how to take existing characters and expand their roles in the show (Marvel Disney+ shows could NEVER) as well as make original ones who start out small and make them into a big deal by the end

Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancheroen, my heart to you <3
