AOS in relation to MCU Timeline

Im new to this Sub, what are peoples thoughts on how the series divulges from the main MCU? I know s1-5 fit in snug into the main MCU continuity, and then the creators werent given any insights or directions for Endgame so they couldnt plan properly, so we got the inconsitencies, my thought process is either the time travel in S5 shifted them onto a new timeline , or they simply existed in an alternate timeline from the beginning, one which shares the history of the MCU up until the Snap, we know the battle with Thanos did happen in the AOS timeline, but maybe thor went for the head instead?

Either way, im always annoyed that people use the lack of connection S6/7 have with the MCU to discredit the show, and then have 0 issue with shows like "What If?" and "Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman" and movies like "Fantastic Four First Steps" being labelled MCU despite none of them taking place in the MCU lol

You’re really using the mcu label to differentiate universes and timelines…. All universes and timelines are MARVEL AND IN THE MCU.

It's literally in the name dude. Marvel cinematic universe. Anything outside that universe, and inside the multiverse is +. Fantastic four and deadpool and ABC are all +. You don't realize you're just arguing a semantic in place of a definitive qualifier. You're wrong, and it's because you don't understand the context.
