Thanks to the fourth episode of WandaVision, Agents of SHIELD has been a hot topic on Twitter today. Since the latest WandaVision episode showed things from SWORD’s perspective, many people were drawing comparisons to the original MCU series. Being the Agents of SHIELD fan that I am, I chimed in to the conversation and tweeted, “If you, like me, can’t stop watching ep 4 of WandaVision BOY OH BOY DO I HAVE A SHOW FOR YOU. It’s called Agents of SHIELD and it’s on Netflix.” The tweet caught the attention of VFX Supervisor Mark Kolpack, who chimed in and confirmed what we’ve long suspected: Agents of SHIELD was not allowed to use “SWORD.”
Agree with that. Just one tidbit
Ep 713 @AgentsofSHIELD toward the end Sousa is reading a book on Z-3- cool but no biggy. He had a line that was dropped. Now I can’t remember if it was in the script or shot. I think script – He actually said – SWORD! Loved it. Oh Well. 😩 https://t.co/nIovYilUSf
To be fair, we became SWORD long before S7 but could never say that acronym. I was excited to see it in the script but not surprised when it got nixed. Clearly Marvel features had plans for it and here we are. https://t.co/DyHjEHaEss
