@sonofodin "1. [...] In order for the 'world saving' storylines to hold any weight, the viewer has to suspend his/her knowledge that the MCU movie heroes exist. [..]" Probably true. As i've never read any Marvel comic & just know the MCU movies/shows that's pretty easy tho. They're probably occupied somewhere else. Given that assumption this storyarc is by far the best of any marvel show/movie so far.

Season 5A (5x01-5x10) thoughts: For a story with such a big, grandiose premise, I've had the most difficult time staying interested in this arc. I think I've narrowed it down to the following two reasons:
This has been an issue with this series from the start. In order for the "world saving" storylines to hold any weight, the viewer has to suspend his/her knowledge that the MCU movie heroes exist. When the catastrophe occurred, how could the Avengers and/or Dr. Strange not notice this happening and do something about it?
Ultimately, what was the point of sending the team into the future? Wouldn't it have made more sense to give them some video, visions, or whatever of what was to happen and let them prevent the catastrophe in the present? Why make them go through all of this? If the team does their job, then organizing a successful rebellion against the Kree isn't going to happen, so the entire struggle was completely meaningless and unnecessarily risked lives?
I'm beginning to wonder if the series is being considered for non-renewal so the writers want to go out on a bang.
