How will this effect the Netflix shows?


I'm curious cause we have Luke Cage, Daredevil coming up, how does this NOT effect them?

reply

They can pretend nothing's changed in the short term but if it takes a couple of years to set reality to rights the fact that half of the population of Earth has died will have to be addressed.

Tbh i look at ALL the tv shows as "secondary" canon, kinda like how Star Wars treated their expanded universe. It's canon until the mainstream films says otherwise. Either way the tv shows probably won't say anything one way or the other, because imo they're technically in their own universe in a unofficial sense.

reply

But the Netflix show characters still exist in the same New York and on the same earth as the movies. Assuming the next seasons of the show are taking place after the infinity war movie, they can't not address half the earths population disappearing. This would be like 9/11 times a million! People would be discussing that global event for centuries!

reply

Probably, but i honestly don't know. They barely mention the New York invasion.

reply

I know it likely won’t effect the characters personally (maybe). But with half of life in the universe being wiped out, they must acknowledge the events of IW if they want to continue the “illusion” of the shows and films being set in the same universe. If it’s just a throwaway line like “the incident”, then that would be better than nothing (if they were to actually do something better like show the city in ruins, that would be incredible).

Providing the next seasons of these shows take place before the aftermath of Infinity War, then I don’t expect Thanos’ invasion to be referenced. That said, I’m sure it was reported not too long ago that the events of the film were more or less going to be felt in all the shows. And yet if the timeline is reversed in Avengers 4, it will be like the SNAP never happened, so...

reply

No mention will be made in any of the shows. It might get a brief mention in the next Spider-Man movie.

reply

They mentioned it in this week's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

reply

The next Spoderman movie's gonna be about a bunch of kids attending a half-empty school and no Spiderman.

reply

Has the movies even acknowledged anything from the shows?

reply

nope....

No, the question was whether the movies ever reference the TV shows.

They don’t; neither Netflix nor SHIELD events have any effect on the MCU films

Something about Feige not liking Loeb, head of Marvel TV

reply

Loeb and Feige get along fine. It’s Ike Pearlmutter that Feige hates and for good reason.

reply

That wasn't the question.

reply

Yes. Multiple times.

reply

When?

reply

Sorry, I thought the question was asked in reverse.

There was only one reference to a TV show in a movie. That was the helicarrier at the end of Age of Ultron. That was the Theta Protocol that was built up that season in AoS. Also, Coulson ultimately called in the Avengers to attack that Hydra base at the beginning of Age of Ultron, but he had Maria Hill as the go-between.

reply

Iron Fist vanishes, but the rest mysteriously remain :)

reply

You wish!

(I wish too)

reply

Can they take all the characters of AOS and make them vanish too? :D

reply

Don't know if you're being facetious, but AOS may well reference Infinity War

Unlikely anyone, not even Iron Fist, will vanish on TV, however. I'd bet big that the SNAP gets undone in "Avengers 4" in such a way that it never happened.

reply

If only. :D

Ah, how cool would it be if the costumed Iron Fist from that old footage they showed in the show would reappear and take over.

reply

They could all take place prior to the events of Infinity War, at least that's my thinking.

reply

In the 4/27 episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. someone, Coulson I think, mentions that an alien ship has been spotted over New York.

reply

Ah, okay! I don't really watch AOS anymore but thanks for that update.

reply

i wonder if this will effect marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
