The longest running TV spinoff of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first of the TV branch of the MCU. The show stars Phil Coulson, having being brought back to life after his "death" in The Avengers. The newly-revived Coulson leads a team of S.H.I.E.L.D., most of them created for the show (the only notable exception being Mockingbird and Quake).
Due to being, to some extent, more connected to the movies than other MCU shows, the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier had the show scrambling to justify its existance. While the late fifth season acknowledged Thanos' presence, the season that followed doesn't seem to acknowledge the Snap or the Time Skip or the Blip (aka the UnSnap).
Examples of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D include:
- Arc Words: "Tahiti, it's a magical place".
- Badass Normal: Most agents, with Quake being the exception.
- Back From the Dead: Phil Coulson.
- Composite Character All Along: Provides the trope image. Glenn Talbot becomes the MCU version of Graviton.
- Mandshake: In "The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and the D".
- Red Skies Crossover:
- This trope is how the show connects to the movies.
- Microchip is mentioned in this show before becoming a major character in The Punisher.
- The Inhuman ruins from this show are featured in Inhumans.
- Required Spinoff Crossover: Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Sif appear in episodes of the show. Flashbacks show Peggy Carter and the Howling Commandoes.
- Rogues Gallery Transplant: Many villains in the show weren't enemies of SHIELD specificaly in the comics.
