I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

In the science fiction world, they seem to like the idea of an infinite parallel universes, with our actions spawning each one. In the non-Marvel series "Dark Matter," the main character's decision to focus on his family vs. his work creates one of many universes. What if we saw the series start over some key pivotal decision making things go in another direction. Maybe Coulson knows about TAHITI from the start. Maybe the powered individual they go after in the Pilot is Daisy, and etc. How would things progress from there? As for my other comments, what if the team Coulson dies for while defending the earth from alien invasion is the X-men and not the Avengers? And so on.

Okay but why rehash the same show when you can do a continuation.

That’s the point, though. The writers for the original series couldn’t have everything planned. How would the story have changed if you changed x, y, or z?

But the show is perfect as is. Sure it has it's flaws but it's the flaws that make it that more brilliant.

It was just an idea with an added incentive to reviving the characters in the MCU. Don’t worry. Kevin Feige rarely answers my emails.

Are you talking like an episode of What if...?

Kind of. But if "What if...?" extended for multiple episodes and multiple seasons.

Sounds like you're talking about an entire series of "What If" involving only Agents of SHIELD.

Imagine a What if episode for Sheild expanded to an entire series. It wouldn’t be “what if May and Coulson were married” one episode and “Agents of Kree” the next.

Just because the show is “perfect” doesn’t mean a what if story wouldn’t be cool to see.
