#garrett imo should be level 8. he was close to fury and knew just as much as coulson and hand did

I was looking at the S.H.I.E.L.D.clearance level section in the Marvel wiki, and it's just. It's so odd??

Like the system is pretty standard, 10 levels, 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest, being privy to more information as you go up the ladder. There's also some secret levels or files for specific eyes only

And overall, the people on it make sense. We know that agents level 7 and above had full details of what happened in New York, including the truth of Coulson's death. Directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., like Fury, are obviously level 10 and Maria, his right hand, was level 9. Pretty solid

Then I started going down the list, Coulson was level 8, as was Hand, and--

HUH??

No offense, Steve, but he really doesn't seem like the level 8 kind, especially bc we saw in Winter Soldier how upset he was that Fury didn't give him all the details of the mission (hinting that Natasha was at a higher level than he was). Again, no offense, but in many cases, he's not much more than a glorified foot solider. Level 5/6 seem a lot better suited for him than level 8

Not to mention that therefore he would've known about Coulson's survival, but moving on!

Level 7, again, pretty standard. May, Blake, Sitwell, Garrett's technically on there, too (although personally I would say 8 since he knew just as much as Coulson did and was also close to Fury), Ward, and--

BARTON?? NAT?? DAVIS??

So, essentially, half of the Avengers know that Coulson is alive and they're keeping it a secret from everyone else

And like. Davis is great and all, but I do not see any reason for him to be level 7, I'm sorry. Again, he should be like Rogers with a level 5

Who decided this, bc half of it doesn't make any sense
