Meedyah Morsels #82.


Avengers: Endgame quietly and sneakily canonized all the Marvel shows.

Spoilers ahead (but you really should have fucking seen Endgame by now).


Okay, so the Marvel shows have made reference to the MCU all along, and "Agents Of Shield", even had Nick Fury and Lady Sif, so you'd think that'd be enough to do the trick.
But no, some stubborn sticklers insist it doesn't count until the connection goes both ways, and show characters pop up in the MCU.
First of all, fuck you if you're one of those people.
And second, Endgame just broke this barrier down, so even using your own logic, you need to shut up now.



All right, so Endgame contains a scene where Tony Stark and Steve Rogers go back in time to the 70's, and meet Howard Stark.
Howard has as his chauffeur, Jarvis from "Agent Carter".
Played by the actor from "Agent Carter".
It's really Jarvis!
Boom, there you go, the shows are canon.

Here's how.



Jarvis canonizes Agent Carter.
Agent Carter shows up in a flashback in "Agents Of Shield", and the arc of her second season is mentioned and picked up in the Ghost Rider season of Shield.

So, Agent Carter Canonizes Shield.

The global outbreak of inhumans from Shield is referenced in "Inhumans", so Shield canonizes Inhumans.
But that one's awful, so let's just ignore that.





Absorbing Man A.K.A. Crusher Creele is in Shield, and he's referenced as the guy Matt Murdock's dad boxed (presumably pre-mutation) in season 1 of "Daredevil".

Claire (Rosario Dawson) is in all 5 Defenders-verse shows, and Punisher spins off from Daredevil season 2, so they all have an unbroken continuity.
Canonize one, you canonize all.

So, Shield canonizes the whole M-Netflix-U.



"Runaways", has the same news channel and reporter as the MCU and Shield, so its Shield connected.

Roxxon oil from the MCU is central to the plot of "Cloak And Daggar", and they mention Tony Stark and Danny Rand, so it's adjacent to to both MCU and M-Netflix-U.

So, that folds in Freeform, Hulu, and SyFy.

And that folds all the pieces together into just the MTVU.

Next up, the Hulu animated universe, and Disney Plus.
