Season 5 and up ruined it for Agents Of Shield. Time travel is no good for programs or movies unless it's done right, like endgame did.

It isn't really easy doing time travel shenanigans unless you just stick to the absolute basics because at that point it gets mind-bogglingly confusing and overall just an hot mess
And as it was mentioned above: the writers and other creators of Agents of SHIELD were in agree about how their time travel work. all of them worked with the same method.
Meanwhile, technically every single person who created Endgame's time travel talks differently about their time travel. which is nonsense.
@DirectorNook8 if you pay attention to What We're Fighting For the last episode of the seventh season when Fitz and Simmons go back to get a piece of the Time Di'Alla posing as ordinary agents to avoid changing their future, implying their future selves were there in the aftermath of Izel's defeat the whole time. Yes it could've been a whole different timeline like in Endgame, but if that's the case, why even bother going through all that just to hide themselves? No matter what, they changed events of that timeline going back in the first place, hiding themselves wouldn't have made a difference.. @BEJT no they didn't, they went all over the place with time travel in noway was it compatible with Endgame. @Alxzer not even near flawless, was completely confusing and made no sense at all. Explain Sarge for instance, in a completely different time and place, a copy of Phil Coulson that was created when the three Di'Allas were destroyed while in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ownership on December 6, 2017, and was sent to Pachakutiq's homeworld in the past. Meaning Sarge has been roaming around since before the 20th Century. @AntIsBack it was the best use of time travel than any other time travel movie ever created. @Darth DarkDarth2 same here at first, I was so pissed I heard they they were gonna add in time travel to the MCU, I was worried they were gonna ruin MCU for me all together. To my surprise, they pulled it off in a non-confusing way. @Itlosz AOS time travel was just like any other typical time travel movie. AOS should've just left time travel alone. The creators only went that route because they ran out of ideas like all other TV series that use time travel. They could've done better not using time travel, they definitely ruined all chances of anymore movie crossovers. I was seriously hoping they'd eventually do episodes during the events of the snap.
@PhilipSMatete that can means two things
1) there are multiple ways to time travel in the MCU as explained here https://www.velcrosuit.com/How-Time-Travel-Works
Or
2) agent of S.H.I.E.L.D is simply non-Canon 🤷♂️
@POOTISMEEM BRAARB thanks for that reply, very informative and interesting. The rinse repeat and alternate timelines are the only time travel theories I can relate with. I actually forgot the ST movie did the alternate timelines thing too. Too bad they screwed it up in the series of ST.
Let me be clearer.
I put months of work into stripping every quote and every element of the AoS: Season 5 and Endgame time travel to cohesively put together the MCU's time travel rules in a blog in late 2019, and can assure you that AoS was much less disputable than, and compatible with, Endgame.
@BEJT months? Seriously? That's way too much dedication for just a movie franchise. You really don't need months to figure out that AOS time travel is all over the place. Quotes won't change a thing, especially in the MCU, where there's way too many continuity errors. AOS time travel is actually a mix of the fate time travel theory, the paradox time travel theory and the multiple timelines theory.
You're talking to the guy who has worked for 6 years on the MCU timeline on this site lol.
No, you don't need months to look at AoS' time travel. Honestly, it's a really clean split and works very well. One timeline is stuck in a time loop (fate, as you say), the other timeline is not. TheThe blog was created specifically because Endgame was a mess, with it not being necessary beforehand because AoS had handled it nicely.
The MCU's time travel is a mess, no doubt. That's the fault of everything that came after AoS, and not AoS, which kicked it off really nicely and clearly.
Also when I say quotes, I mean literally from the shows and films.
I don’t understand why 2019 had to introduce so much time travel everywhere in the MCU. It’s one of the most overused plot devices ever. And I thought it was more DC’s thing. AOS S5 and Doctor Strange were the only times I thought it truly worked, partly because the stuff Doctor Strange did isn’t really time travel.
@BEJT each to their own opinion
What do you think?
