It's pre-snap because the snap didn't happen. This is the timeline where Thor went for the head.
I am halfway through the space season and really not feeling it. Enjoyed all the others though. Does the last season improve in the second half?
Massive improvement in my opinion. The plot really kicks into gear, we get some solid new characters and character growth going.
You are not, they didn't have the budget to do what they wanted to do.
No, the first is rough, but it pays off in the second half.
It sucks real bad. Of course I was also watching Gotham at the time and everything pales in comparison but still.
Nah I liked it, I just acknowledge that the 2nd half was much better all the same
Really liked this first episode. It was especially refreshing to see so many outdoor shots; at the bar, museum, park and some forest, and people working for Shield. May has gone all in recruiting people. Mack and Yoyo splitting up surprised me, and I don't like it. But I guess it really takes a toll, being the new leader while dealing with the loss of Coulson and Fitz. I liked the visual effects in space, the designs and costuming. And it has interesting beats from the get go. Fitz not being in his chamber, but instead working for someone. And these people popping up all over the place through portals. It's very interesting.
What I liked best was that it felt like a real organization. So many background characters and 3rd tier speaking parts. Just like the old SHIELD.
Yeah...if anything AoS just went to non-canon territory right there.

If you absolutely have to reference Endgame you can spoiler tag it, but I'm not seeing any reason to talk about it here.
The space stuff seems to be totally disconnected from the Earth stuff - they dont even have any direct contact with Earth,
So if they suddenly want to reveal the 4 people in space are in a different timeline/reality/universe that what is happening on Earth, that would be fun. It also explains Coulson (for reasons)
And I dont care about Infinity War / Endgame connections, but they could use timeline/reality/universe stuff to explain that away if needed as the team of four in space were lucky enough not to be affected by the snap.
I am happy for them to go crazy with reality jumping if need be, once they tell a good story.

Damn, just saw this topic and I realized I could have watched Agents of Shield today instead of fucking around on the internet after the Warriors game.
Fairly tough position for the showrunners to write a season from, but they did a pretty good job attempting to sidestep it altogether. Too bad they gambled and lost on the idea that the snap would be resolved within a year. I find it funny that hypothetically they could have shot the exact same episode, but with the minimum number of extras in scenes on Earth and you wouldn't really see much discrepancy with Endgame.
So aside from attempting to square the timeline and all that mess (which to be fair they've been very diligent about in the past) I'm excited to see that they've beefed up the Shield hierarchy and made supporting characters more prominent.

Problem was they had no inside knowledge of Endgame so had to write as best they could
Yeah, like I said, an uneviable position for the showrunners to be in.
Maybe they all got snapped and then unsnapped but didn't know. Being in space and not knowing space calenders confusing. When they find Fitz he's going to tell them it's been 6 years 🤷♂️
Wanted to post this yesterday, but then the new episode aired, and I waited till now. Comicbook.com have a very nice in-depth interview with the Visual Effects Supervisor Mark Kolpack who goes into detail with a lot of stuff.
They have added two visual effects teams as partners for Season 7:
About keeping a high standard:
The Lighthouse was one of the biggest challenges:
About Ghost Rider:
How the Triskelion got into the show:
Mark Kolpack also asked to direct an episode back at the end of Season 2, and finally got his wish this season. Episode 4 on May 31st is the one he has directed.
There's much more in the link.

It's a shame people still want to claim it's really, actually all connected to the movies. It long hasn't been, but now it's to point of distracting from a good show.
Not massively keen on tonight's big twist being all over the trailers prior to the new season but so be it, I can live with a bad ass Coulson any day of the week. Other than that really enjoyed the return and glad it's back.
Disney+ has ultimately put paid to any decent synergy between AOS and the movies and that can only be a good thing. Have AOS, Runaways etc exist in their own world, crossovers galore and just have fun with that. That's all that really needs to happen.

I hope they explain different timeline in this show by SHIELD changing the Graviton events created new alterantive timeline to movies.
And yet it's the only Marvel TV show referred to in the Marvel Universe music video released before Endgame came out. Possibly an alternate timeline but still part of the Universe as a whole.
With the resources and time he has, Mark Kolpack and his team might be the best VFX people in the industry. Give them an Emmy already.
It's the hook of the season, and it happens in the first episode, can't say I blame then
SHIELD has been relatively good over the years about not giving away anything in trailers or spinning it differently, so I'm cool with that.
I wish Jeph Loeb would fight harder for a Marvel Television Universe. I think we'd all be ecstatic if we saw DD, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Cloak and Dagger, and Runaways all crossing over with SHIELD and each other. That seems relatively easy to do.
Interesting stuff, thanks!
They really do a great job with VFX
Plus a chance to adapt Loeb's biggest event: Ultimatum.
This might be an accident, but Amazon Prime has Season 6 for $2.99 so grab it on the cheap maybe?

(EDIT: They also stream in 1080p so the VFX should look *chef kiss*)

I tried that given how it isn't on German Amazon yet, no luck at all (payment method needs to be an American credit card lol), but just thought it's an interesting tidbit: Before I logged in the season was 6.99$, after I logged in it was 2.99$...weird, but I'd go for it if I could!
For the timeline stuff: all of that funky time-jumping last season popped the team out in a parallel universe. Easy!
Episode was fine, though I'm finding space team way more interesting than Earth team. Big question: what's the current status on SHIELD? Are they still outlaws? An official government agency? Hunted by the FBI? I can't remember how that all settled last season.

I don't think it was settled last season. But I'm sure that after it turned out that Hale was Hydra (Hale, Hydra) and SHIELD publically assisted in the cleanup/protection of Chicago, Hale's order to capture SHIELD would have been rescinded.
Nice episode 1. Gemma's selfishness I can understand given how much shit Fitz and her had gone through.
