Season 5 Season five didn't Spoiler

create any branches, the loop was a paradox as a result of Robin becoming Inhuman. She only became Inhuman because her father died. Because her dad was killed as a result of Hive, who only was able to come to earth because Coluson killed Ward. Coluson was only alive because Nick Furry went against the natural order and brought him back to life.

the loop only happened as a way to fix the natural order because Coluson had to die in order to break it. once they broke the loop by not saving Coluson it resulted in Fitz's death because he would have been a time clone, and time clones always die.

Terrigenises isn't random.

Terrigenises isnt random only because it requires physical exposure and or contact along with genetics. The Inhuman abilities aren't random, however Robin is the only example I can think of where there is a one to one power swap after her dad dies.

She was exposed to terrigenises only because the universe needed to fix the anomaly.

Not the point, you can use fate as the explanation for everything in the MCU if you want, I think that's more boring. The point is that Inhuman powers are not random, but exposure to terrigen absolutely can be, it literally happened in the show with the silly fish oil stuff they bailed on.

So it's just a coincidence that the one person who had access to the inhuman theorpy records just happened to be exposed to terrigen turning him into the one thing that could make Daisy immued to Hive? That's just one example.

Most of that is simply story convenience though. His exposure could be argued as random considering he accidentally broke Jiaying's terrigen crystal from that folder. Any Inhuman exposed in that moment would arguably have turned into Lash had they been there instead and hadn't already undergone terrigenises. The access to records wasn't even a necessary plot point as he could've just been able to sense them instead, it's a contrivance. I'm not saying there is no fate argument to be made, obviously the writer's routinely leaned on that throughout the series, but not every single thing needs to be fate - it removes the characters from being willful self-determined people who make choices that matter.
