Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 takes place in 2024.

I made a previous post saying that it takes place in an alternate reality but I have been proven wrong wrong on that part. Ever since watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 6 for the first time I have always believed that it was at least 5 to 6 years after the 5th season.

Let's start with what we know regarding timeline errors:

. Spider-Man: Homecoming had a title card and dialogue by Vulture that stated that it was 8 years after the battle of New York in 2020, but we know that it was placed 4 years after the battle of New York in 2016 (Marvel retconned it)

. Iron Man & Iron Man 2 are stated to be 6 months apart in Iron Man 2. Captain America: Civil War confirms Iron Man was in 2008, The Avengers confirms that Thor and Iron Man 2 are in 2011. So you have to retcon the 6-month Gap

There are timeline errors within the MCU movies and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. no matter what, but we can firmly place season 5 in 2018. Retconning dialogue, title cards, and dates is understandable and easy, but an entire plot line is harder, given that season 5 finale is directly linked towards the plot of Avengers: Infinity War.

Season 6 confirms that it is one year after Coulson's death, this doesn't necessarily have to be immediately retconned it is very possible that Coulson and May both blipped maybe a couple of days before Coulson died, and then in October of 2023 he passed away, making season 6 one year after he died. In season 6 episode 9 Mack makes a comment when he and Daisy are talking about her and space, he asks her when he can hear stories about space and she says "when we sit down for a debrief," a little bit more dialogue passes and he says "where you've been the last 5 years, I'm looking forward to that debrief." Many people interpreted as the amount of time they've worked together and then others interpreted as a 5-year time gap between when she went to space and the episode. I personally lean towards the second option, but I can also see why people believe the other option. Let's just say that Daisy and Jemma went to space approximately around early 2019 (potentially late 2018), they postponed going to space immediately after season 5 ended, because they were helping people recover from the snap. Also during the 6 years Deke Shaw managed to make a very successful business and became a millionaire.

The contradictory evidence is the title card that says one year later, and Agent Davis saying "the space puff incident of 2019." But like I said sometimes you do have the retcon some dialogue and title cards. It works better for the timeline, and it explains more of why no one on the show got blipped or anything along those lines, because it's over and done with and has been resolved.

Again this is just a very but it's one that I have believed for 7 years now. It makes the most logical sense to me at least. let me know what you guys think.
