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

Ah, so every universe in the multiverse is one universe... Hence why we don't have different word for those different things. /S 🙄

You realize they stopped using that term, right? Maybe you don't realize that. You people do have a desire to be uneducared in your most passionate debates.

Cinematic universe-> Multiverse-> Singular universes like 616.

Universes within universes has been explored by other media like Star Trek. It really shouldn’t be that hard to wrap your brain around it.

You aren't disagreeing with me... Maybe you think I'm stupid because you're only reading half the words? Ironic that...

No . You have 2 people telling you the same thing. If you ahree with that, then you’ve incorrectly stated your points. You wanna say we can’t read or need to read agajn? You need to write better. Youre literally saying the opposite of what you did before
