I know that the tv shows are suppose to be canon. But i get a sense that ship sailed years ago. And they're just leading some fans on. Most fans have washed their hands of the situation regarding how the MCU tv-vese fit in or not.
shareWe will see when Infinity War starts. If it has no connections at all - then the show seems on its own.
But in the beginning they had a few real nice tie ins.
Last season they had a tie-in to Civil War and Doctor Strange. So yeah, it still is.
But I understand, the shows don’t have any affect on the movies. Nothing that has happened on SHIELD has, I think, truly impacted the movies. The Netflix shows have some nice little Easter eggs thrown in but nothing major. And really, all this end-of-the-world stuff SHIELD is dealing with and The Avengers aren’t made aware of it?
Ultimately, while they’re all technically meant to be in the same universe (yes, Groot exists in the same world as the mean and grim The Punisher), they all clearly have their own thing going on. For what it’s worth, Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Lady Sif’s appearances on AOS will always count. Having said that, The Avengers learning that Coulson is still around is something I continue to hope for. And it’d be nice to see some of the other TV characters at least be acknowledged by the larger MCU.
This show’s events played a role in Age of Ultron. So far, that is the only time in which the show affected a movie but it happened.

TBH i think they're related in name only type of situation. It doesn't help that Joss and Anthony Mackie said they're not in the same universe. Them saying that gives off a huge red flag tbh. If you're segregating the tv-verse from the film verse you're basically cutting off the MCU branches so to speak.
shareAbsolutely right, it is not canon
