Framework (Edward Zachary Sunrose)
Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: Yeah, in an interview dissecting "Self-Control" with EW, Natalie Abrams asks Jed and Mo (Maurissa) if HYDRA being in control while Inhumans are hunted in the Framework was a commentary on Trump, which they basically plead the fifth to. Then she followed it up with if making such a plotline made them nervous, to which Jed referred to it as an alternate reality twice in the same exchange.

So the Framework being called an alternate reality, plus the fact that it was made with magic, which Doctor Strange's movie likens to the programming code of computers, makes me think that the Framework was an actual alternate reality, with the machines that hooked you into it actually being more like portals, but for your mind. Oh OK well I just take that as meaning it's a computer programme that creates an alternate reality, not literally that it's an existing reality. They talk about how everyone in it is just code, like when Simmons kills Fitz's dad. And isn't it just that the Darkhold gave them the knowledge to fully realise the Framework, not that it was made by magic? I might be misremembering there.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Mrmichaelt, Edward Zachary Sunrose)

I think the best we make of those statements is we stick to 1 year later/May 2019 and don't expect any references to Infinity War/Endgame because it's business as usual for S.H.I.E.L.D. and they got to help keep the world spinning rather than dwell on what happened and go to group meetings. "Some people move on." Guess the agents did (and are also not worried that when they find Fitz, he might be dust).

Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: Exactly. This is even what Natasha was doing, tackling problems (not that there were many on Earth to deal with, since Okoye only mentioned an Earthquake). I highly doubt that the entire planet was still wallowing in self-pity five years later, but for those who still were, Cap was there with them. And not all of the world was dirty and gross, as shown by the memorial in San Francisco and the Avengers HQ.

Safe to assume that a year in, people would've already started to move on and clean up. That's what I was getting at - I find it very hard to believe that in just a year it wouldn't be at all acknowledged, but it's better than just a few months in terms of allowing a tiny, tiny bit of room for "Maybe they've moved on".
