I would be shocked if they aren't all part of the MCU.
As to how much crossover we will see between each strand and the movies, well that remains to be seen.

I would assume Mace.

Yep, being a Nazi is never a good look.

Why? Mainly because every article and quote seems to say it is, or not say it isn't.

I've assumed all these properties are part of the MCU.

Thanks, I knew the main ones but wasn't sure about Mace or Mack. I expect we will meet at least one of them next episode.

Not really. You just have to think of it in terms of;

A Cloak & Dagger / New Warriors crossover would indeed be more likely. Both on the same network, both starting around the same time, both set within the MCU, both dealing with superpowered teens…

Although it's worth remembering that in the MCU Hydra is an ancient religious order dedicated to the return of its banished Inhuman leader Hive. The connections to Nazism, as a spin off from it's scientific division under Red Skull, is just one recent step. After that they were secretly part of S.H.I.E.L.D. for…

The genes are still dormant in people all around the world - this is what people are being tested for.

This was a cracking episode in an excellent season!

I thought it was a good episode but maybe should've happened a few episodes back, then we have a regroup/funerals episode, then we have a gearing up for war episode with the cliff-hanger being the very brink of war. Then the next season opens with full on carnage.

If you get completely lost they spell it out for you in the penultimate episode.

McAvoy would make more sense perhaps?

Fun episode!

I enjoyed this episode. Good villain, very comicbook-y action and ideas, big set up for the next episode.

The dynamic changed in the first episode when they threw out the Jimmy plotline and moved away from CatCo.

Haha!

The reviewer/internet has a Mon-El problem it seems, but I don't see the problem. Girl getting a boyfriend is standard fare in chick-flicks and the idea of the mother-in-law being an actual supervillain is a nice twist on the standard tension that exists in the triangle of this relationship.

It's great when it does but too often, especially for something that's "all connected", events from a previous film are ignored - the most jarring being Stark destroying all his suits at the end of IM3 and seemingly stopping being Iron Man, and then just being Iron Man in the suits again at the start of Avengers 2.
