Warning: Full spoilers for the final season premiere of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD follow. [poilib element="accentDivider"] The official end of the Marvel Television era is upon us as Agents of SHIELD, which was once the MCU's heavily-hyped TV flagship, kicks off its farewell season with, appropriately, a storyline that's almost totally untethered from the overall goings-on in the Marvel-verse - so much so that everything starts with a rollicking romp back to 1931 for a few time travel shenanigans. Obviously, the story still involves SHIELD, and thus Hydra (thanks to the reveal that the Chronicoms are out to eliminate Hydra from forming so that - er - SHIELD never forms?), but it's still all nestled within the show's insulated Hydra mythology (Gideon Malick, Maveth, etc) that doesn't veer too close to the MCU's big screen storylines, and the Chronicoms, which were beings created for the series back at the tail end of Season 4.
