The Fate of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 in the Post-Endgame Universe

As of now, there are no indications that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6 will deal with the devastation caused by Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. The series remains set between the events of both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. According to the show's writers, the first episode of season 6 has a one-year time skip, meaning the series will focus on events before Avengers: Infinity War.

The False Snap and its Implications

Considering the series timeline, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will not address the "Snap." Instead, the show focuses on events occurring prior to the Snap. This means that the Confederation will have arrived early to save Earth from Thanos and his actions. Thus, the mysterious event depicted in series 5's finale was likely not Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian attempting to steal the Time Stone from Doctor Strange.

No Signs of the Snap

Since the show has not mentioned the Snap, it is evident that the characters are unaware of its occurrence. Two episodes in, there is still no indication of the snap's destruction. Such an event would have been a major concern, with Captain America briefing Shield members on the situation. Additionally, the deserted public places in the episodes suggest a lack of awareness among the characters about the Snap. Even if it did occur, characters like Simmons and Daisy searching for Fitz would be highly unlikely given the 75% chance that Enoch or Fitz might have been turned to dust.

Speculations About the Timeline

Given that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6 debuts after Avengers: Endgame is in theaters, the series will likely deal with the aftermath of Endgame, not Infinity War. The showwriters have delayed the release of season 6 until after Endgame comes out, which means the series will explore the consequences of Avengers: Endgame rather than the events of Infinity War.

Is There Any Damage at the End of Endgame?

There is no guarantee that the Endgame finale will depict any damage being done. The movie's final scene could show Captain America and Tony Stark using the Infinity Gauntlet to fix everything, leaving no trace of the damage caused by Thanos. However, this is mere speculation, and it is essential to wait and see what the show actually delivers.

Based on recent developments, the TV show acknowledges the events of Infinity War. This means that 3-5 weeks of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes align with the events of Infinity War. Given that both the movie and the TV series are happening simultaneously, it is likely that the final scene of the movie will occur only after the TV series' finale, ensuring that none of the characters in the show are affected by the movie's events.

Avengers: Endgame likely picks up where the previous movie left off, and even though the movie is released after a year, it is still set in April/May 2018. Assuming the MCU follows the same timeline, the events of Endgame will not affect any current or upcoming TV series. Additionally, if the Infinity Stones have the power to erase and restore the universe with a snap of the fingers, they likely have the power to fix everything, and history can be rewritten.

Speculation aside, it will be interesting to see how the show handles these events. As of now, there is no official confirmation, so all is left is to wait and watch.

Bring Back the X-Men

Disney's acquisition of Fox studios brings back the rights to the X-Men franchise. There is hope that the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will bring the X-Men into the MCU. However, it is crucial to approach the integration carefully, as the X-Men's timeline is already very confusing.

In conclusion, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is unlikely to address the Snap, it will explore the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame. The journey to find out exactly how the show will handle this is as exciting as it is speculative, and fans are eager to see how the writers will navigate these complex interconnections.
