	Star Wars didn't change my life, but the special effects gave me A New Hope!

That makes sense logistically. I wonder if the "Snapocalypse" will be addressed in S7? I suppose they could do that, theoretically if they choose to.

The one problem I have there is that as I recall, the Confederacy showed Thanos already in NY not 'on his way'. Even with a Fitz to retrieve, no way does the team just say, 'The Avengers can handle that' to the fight with Thanos especially if they're altering the battle to have lasted more than a year.

This is linked in the article DTM posted here, but I'll give it a link of its own

This article compares the situation with Fitz to the one with Gamora, though it was done before the start of season 6. One thing it does miss is that even though alternate Fitz hasn't married Simmons, the were already serious with their relationship as opposed to alternate Gamora who hadn't yet met Quill.

Interesting. This restores some of my hope. I had assumed it was purely a unique timeline and that would be their excuse to completely ignore the films going forward. But it sounds like they might just prefer to play catch-up which I guess makes sense logistically.

I am hoping and betting you are right. From all I have read, it seems that AoS show runners were put in the awkward position of not knowing what would happen in IW and EG, and had no choice but to ignore it for the time being... I have been forever one of the strongest supporters of 'its all connected', and I understand the difficulties involved, yet if the movie side of things fails to deliver one of these days, I will really be disappointed.

We couldn't be more on the same page from the sounds of things. To me, Endgame had a few opportunities to finally deliver on this in a way (or ways) that wouldn't have compromised anything on the TV/Netflix side. AoS suffered from the (apparent) uncertainty of when it would come out - so I understand that doing something cool on TV gets trumped by potentially spoiling the biggest MCU movie of all time.

ayanami: Also, yes, Iain deserves constant praise, always! And for the Doctor in particular. Chilling role! Nov 24, 2024 23:07:48 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

Nov 24, 2024 23:21:10 GMT

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!
