If it happens now, it will only be so Thanos can kill them all, and then they have a cannon reason for no season 6 of AoS, and then ABC can stop feeling pressure to keep renewing it.
AoS isn't gonna even make it to season 5. Mockingbird and Quake are gonna die off screen, and Coulson is gonna retire to Portland never to be heard from again.
You'll get Daredevil in Avengers 3&4 if you're lucky and that's mostly because he's a white guy.

Oh no, it will be the Ultimate Troll job by Feige on Perlmutter.
Feige will urge ABC to extend one more season, getting Joss to produce and write for S5, the cast of AoS will be juiced when they find out that the tie in for season 5 will lead into direct cameos of the cast into the movies. and when they finally get their movie scripts... LOL. oh the laughs. I bet no one pranked anyone on set as hard as that.
I swear there wasn't this much bitching when Iron Man and Dark Knight were both awesome
or Avengers and Dark Knight Rises were both awesome
over the last year or so all the MCU films became "formulaic, forgettable trash" somehow. okay.
happy I'm above all that shit and can enjoy the MCU

Every time a DC movie comes out "people are getting tired of comic book movies."
Then a Marvel movie comes out and it breaks records.
Weird.

The only ones from SHIELD that I can see being somewhat useful in Infinity War are Quake, Mockingbird, & Coulson. Though if you want to encompass all of MCU-TV, then you could include Cloak & Dagger (though it may be a bit too soon to bring them in), the Defenders, and Punisher.
You're the type of guy who finds himself getting fooled by horribly photoshopped teaser posters for "BATMAN VS STAR WARS" made exclusivley on Deviant Art, arent you?

Didn't you know people are getting sick of superhero movies but not Marvel ones for some reason? Weird right.

lmao, you didn't have to do him like that. it was posted on RDJ's verified account.
With Adrianne Palicki moving on to a new show, I wonder if we'll ever see Bobbi again.
Found this on reddit:
Looks like we won't be seeing any TV characters in the films anytime soon.
EDIT: "He" is Jeph Loeb.

I don't mind the MCU and MTVU being kinda seperated and on it's own, but I don't like how they advertised the whole thing as one big interconnected universe when it's clearly one-sided. It's just not fair to the TVU, and I hoped for more.
Then again, we have a fucking Marvel Universe on Movies and TV, that's incredibly faithful and true to the comics, so I can't hate.

At this point I don't care if TV crosses into movies. That was a big lie and Marvel needs to own up to it.
I would like to see more TV collaboration - have Coulson be the after-credits teaser of the Defenders (like Nick Fury was for Iron Man).

Cameos/guest appearances by the netflix staff on SHIELD or vice versa would be great.
The movie side is the one thing that makes the billions, so there is no reason to let the TV shows dictete something. With the poor rating on ABC and the I kinda doubt that Marvel makes that much Money with Netflix.
The only the I start to find annoying that they still only reference the battle of New York as if nothing else happened in the mean time.As for the rest, I am fine with it.
My biggest hope for TV characters in the movies was a brief shot of the Defenders and Shield fighting the disposable army I'm assuming Thanos will make landfall on Earth with. Now, I expect nothing
and I think I'm at peace with it since I'm now fairly sure AoS won't even be around when Avengers 3 hits.

Iron Man, thankfully, remains one of the most praised CBM's today. But while it took a few years, the Dark Knight did start receiving some backlash from the fans. Undeserved, in my opinion, but opinions are opinions.
Avengers and DKR almost immediately started getting backlash after their release. It was kinda drowned out by the praise, but it was there and has been omnipresent ever since both movies came out. Even today, lots of people are happy to express their disdain for both movies.
The 'formulaic' criticism took a while to appear because, well, people had to recognizr there was a formula first. Can't accuse a franchise of being all the same if the franchise hasn't even gotten off it's feet yet. But it's been around for a while, longer than just a year. By the time Winter Soldier came out in 2012, people were commenting on how it had changed the Marvel formula.
Look one page behind.Posted on RDJ's Facebook page with one word "Excited?":

agents of shield will never, ever be required viewing for understanding a plot point or even a single line of dialogue within a marvel movie, but it's honestly *healthier* for the TV shows to be able to stand on their own (see: the netflix shows) than for them to serve as an adjunct to the films anyway
She looks adorable.
And bored out of her mind.
Do we expect her to be introduced in a movie like Thor 3 before her solo debut? Or maybe IW?

Definitely IW. She would either be setup like Black Panther or Spidey for her solo movie by whatever happens in IW or she arrives at the end of the 2018 Avengers movie with her solo flick explaining how she got there.
I think Agents of Shield suffers for having to live between movies and TV. It's so tied to the movies and their events but can never fully utilize those connections on TV since there will never be movie-to-TV crossover. The Netflix stuff thrives because it can functionally exist in it's own world even though it takes place within the broader Marvel screen universe.

I think it depends in part on whether Infinity War Part 1 takes place on Earth at all. It's possible that's being saved for part 2.
I remember them saying that Infinity War is based on Infinity, what would mean that in the first part Thanos Cabal would take on earth while the second part would be more space centered.

Yep. It'll get a little bit more complicated when Spider-Man is also a thing in New York (and I suspect that the Venn diagram between Sony's Spider-Man films, Marvel's MCU films, and Marvel TV is going to contain little to no overlap between Spider-Man and the Defenders), but by and large it seems they're keeping the Avengers out of New York City now and leaving the city itself to the Defenders shows.

Wait, what?
I didn't know they confirmed that? I think saving a whole movie for mini-bosses and one for Thanos is a smart idea, but I thought the best version of that would be bringing back all the people killed by Infinity Stones as the mini-bosses e.g. Red Skull, Ronan, Christopher Ecclestone, Ultron, and the two that'll be killed by Time & Soul.
I could be wrong but I don't think they did
Oops. My bad.
Never thought it was "real" but just looking at the names on it just validates how epic this entire ride through the MCU has been and how big/epic Infinity War can be.

I hope they go with the Minions from the books. Loved them.
That's not really definite. That quote makes it sound like they're looking at a lot of cosmic Marvel history both new and old and not basing it solely off the Infinity run.
Never said this
You may not have intended it but that statement comes across as though it's more or primarily based on Infinity.
That would be a kickass idea but the realities of film production would basically make it impossible.
Like, not only would you have to persuade Weaving, Eccleston etc not to just phone it in for a paycheck, but that would be EVEN MORE money to spend on actors' salaries and not on the actual filming of the movie.
