The ending of Avengers: Infinity War will reverberate for years, but leaves Marvel TV in a tricky spot. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has already acknowledged the MCU blockbuster once, and one star hints the universe-shattering finale will continually play out on the ABC drama.
The Marvel universe is a bit quieter since the events of Infinity War, and fans of HBO’s The Leftovers may have gotten déjà vu at the big climax. Not because of Carrie Coon, mind you, but a certain universe-altering similarity this spoilery mashup points out.
Marvel’s box office-shattering crossover has made the TV timelines even more complicated, and perhaps severed their connection the MCU. Maybe that’s a good thing.
