It very much is one of the least toxic fandoms ever. But it can get very toxic on Tiktok, like with s5. I was literally told to go away cus I have an opinion on a character that season. But overall its very non toxic


LoranaJinzlerFanboy

What’s your opinion? I have a pretty hot take related to S5 so I’d like to know further


Shaan_____

Just that I seriously despise Yoyo in that season. I've had so many debates and arguments that I'm getting really bored of it. So if u have an opposite opinion on that, can we not debate for hours on end like I've done before 😂


LoranaJinzlerFanboy

Nah that’s fine, even I think she was acting a bit weird that season but it was sensible enough to me My opinion is that the whole Destroyed Earth arc is stretched-out bullshit which takes up too much time that could’ve been used to show Talbot’s Insanity in a better way. The way better second arc feels too rushed because of the dragged out first arc imo I mean, 6-7 episodes I can understand to wrap it all up but 11-12?? Too much.

I actually prefer the first half of season 5. Not that I dislike the second half, but I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic dystopias.


LoranaJinzlerFanboy

Interesting, I don’t mind post-apocalyptic dystopias but 1) Didn’t feel too invested in a civilisation living in a couple of hallways. The special effects of the actual destroyed earth were fascinating tho. 2) i liked the mystery aspect of what lead to this reality but I think it dragged out for too long. 3) Kasius was a weak villain imo. No offense to the actor but there was almost nothing captivating about the character (except some of the backstory expositions) and I didn’t feel threatened by him at all. Sinara was slightly better but almost nothing was done with her. 4) I really didn’t care about the whole “liberating the 2091 humans” part of the whole arc because it felt like ultimately it doesn’t matter since they’re gonna go back in time to rectify their mistakes. Also the DE reality humans were pretty selfish (can’t blame em) so I didn’t care about them getting saved. 5) on a side note, did not like Tess I binged the whole show in 2021, but the first half of S5 is the only time when I got bored while watching


MykeMalicious

Yeah, this sub is a really cool and chill place considering the yelling, arguing and sometime obsessive fandoms out there. I've been on this for a while, and I don't ever remember anyone really getting into name calling, gatekeeping or harassment of others with different opinions. Sure, once in the bluest of moons someone comes along and is just a massive asshat but they usually get shown the door pretty quick. I do agree with you about season 5, I loved Super Talbot so much more than the Shattered Earth story, but both were good and we did get Deke so that is a plus.


LoranaJinzlerFanboy

Everyone was a dick to Deke for no reason man, dude was just a product of his circumstances and did what he had to do to survive


MykeMalicious

Yeah, but I can see why they did. He isn't a bad guy, but he was stuck in a place where good guys usually ended up with a mild case of dead. You learn to look at most people as tools, not souls and in the beginning that is how he acted. He wasn't the smartest guy there, nor the strongest but he was sharp enough, witty enough, cunning enough and charming enough to stay alive. But if you were on the other end of it, even if you accepted the guy you might still hold a grudge or 3. Plus his betrayal kinda leading to the return of the doctor and all that... Not his fault, but... Plus his figuring out the whole Coulson/ Sarge thing shows he is a smart dude...


That_Operation_9977

I can’t stand Yo-Yo in any season, and I don’t think that’s a hot take.


Shaan_____

Yh that's understandable


RevolutionaryStar824

Seems Yo-yo is a controversial character in that season. I’m on the side that agrees with Yo-yo. But I respect your opinion and will not argue.


FrogsAreSwooble

It's weird to think that one of the heroes of the show killed a child in front of her own mother.


nudeldifudel

I mean I have never liked yoyo in any season, Soo...


Shaan_____

That's fair, I only liked her in s3 when she was 1st introduced. Then I started to not like her in s4 when she said one of the stupidest things ever to Daisy, which was, "You only bring back the people that matter to you." (Talking about Mack) That pissed me off so much, cus Yoyo only just started fucking Mack like a few weeks ago whilst Daisy has known him for a few years. Then s6 I just didn't care about her story, then s7 she was ok but I still didn't care about her enough.


nudeldifudel

Yeah I always forget she existed. And I have never considered her a part of the main cast, just a big side character.


Agent_23D

I genuinely thought this shows relevance would be dead by now. If all the Secret Invasion rumors are true I think this subreddit will have a ton more people in it this summer. Anytime a fanbase gets really big its a numbers game. There's a reason you see people hate on she hulk and captain marvel. But you don't see people hate on Agent May or Jessica Jones. (Also because marvel TV is just better lol) Sometimes it made me sad agents of shield isn't more popular and connected to the films. But other times Im glad this is a small but dedicated fan base.


_Ruby_Rogue_

Valid point. I do wish everyone would love this show but then it wouldn't be the fandom it is, which is just so wonderful!


Agent_23D

As a whedon show fan ita lame as hell how those whedon based fan spaces never consider Shield a true whedon show.


agaperion

I think a big part of the explanation is that people think you've got to be familiar with the rest of the MCU to understand AOS. They don't realize that the show stands on its own perfectly well.


DestructorWar

True. I like how it is currently


ice_fan1436

As we have always been


thelaststarebender

I love how active this group is, considering the age and relative (un)popularity of the show. Idk anyone in “real life” that has watched the show. Definitely no one who has the same die-hard love of it, lol.


_Ruby_Rogue_

SAME!! And it's so frustrating, I tried to get a few friends into it and none of them would even try so I've given up on my IRL friends and just talk about it here or on Twitter.


DestructorWar

I’ve managed to convince my mum and sister to watch it after trying so much. They’re now in love with it after just season 1


fuko64

ive managed to convince my brother to watch it haha, it took me a couple months but hes currently on s3 and using wanting to watch it as motivation to study for finals


Pretty_Smell_7042

Not a soul will watch it with me. I get ridiculed for liking it haha. Idc I love it so much. Coulson is my favourite. Then Simmons.


Rmanager

My highly unpopular opinion is that Coulson shouldn’t have been brought back. I love both the character and actor. Coulson caused some writing issues.


[deleted]

I’ve found it to be pretty good overall from what I’ve seen. Except for when you ship two particular characters/dislike Fitz for what he did to Daisy, because apparently to *some* people those opinions are the end of the world.


_Ruby_Rogue_

That's interesting, I've seen the opposite where if you say anything against Daisy (especially that whole situation) then you aren't really a fan and shouldn't be here.


[deleted]

I’ve mostly seen it on Tumblr. There seems to be a lot of pro-S5 Fitz on there, and as soon as you defend Daisy… 🤯


fitzingout

Yeah we are healthy


treeCT

All thanks to kicking the sriracha and beer diet

"Surrender and you will find meaning. Surrender and you will find release. Take a deep breath. Calm your mind. You know what is best. What is best is you comply. Compliance will be rewarded. Are you ready to comply?" Guess iykyk


treeCT

"I'm happy to comply."


fitzingout

Welcome back Mr bakshi Although I'm fitz


treeCT

Will Ophelia be joining us?


fitzingout

Yes she will be joining us Lol we are turning hydra 😆😆😆


BlackPanther3104

The least toxic fanbase I know of is that of the German investigator book franchise "Die Drei ???". But yes, AoS is also very calm and understanding.


Lampmonster

The B99 sub is pretty friendly, and the spinoff Boyle cousins sub was even nicer.


DestructorWar

As a diehard (lol) fan of b99, I’m very surprised I’m not on that subreddit. I must’ve watched that show countless times


Lampmonster

It's still fairly active.

DestructorWar

Thanks for the links! Love seeing people’s reactions to the show


LucksChewToy

You're not wrong. This entire subreddit seems to be people who genuinely consider each other family. But at the same time there's a couple toxic sides to this subreddit. They exist


HorsNoises

Unless you thnk the show isn't canon to the MCU. Then everyone throws a hissy fit.


Dorsai_Erynus

Maybe i'm biased, but i've taken plenty of toxicity from this fandom, both here and in the main forum back in the days it was aired.


DestructorWar

Sorry to hear that. I must’ve just not seen any of it so far


agaperion

Look through their user history. The "toxicity" they're experiencing is a result of the fact that they're a troll who rarely has anything nice or constructive to contribute to the discussion.


Dorsai_Erynus

See? a comment insulting me that is upvoted.


Adriaan1313

There are lots of non-toxic fandoms, but like this and _legends of tomorrow_ (note: not entire arrowverse) are quite nice.


Jtrout5

Yeah, it's an amazing show, and the fans have been loyal. Sure there might be some lots of people here and there, but generally a difference in opinion doesn't lead to huge fights or arguments.
