History ShoutOut / AgentsOfSHIELD

* In "Option Two", the way that Talbot [[spoiler: kills the Remorath]] is nearly identical to the way [[spoiler: "Lenny Busker" kills The Eye]] in ''Series/{{Legion}}''.

* In "The Force of Gravity", right after the lights go out in the Zephyr, Daisy tells Coulson "[[Film/{{Poltergeist}} they're heeere....]]"

** The Kree monolith aboard Agent Gonzales' aircraft carrier, the ''Iliad'', is behind door [[The47Society 47]].

* Kyle [=MacLachlan=] portraying a man who lost his wife, forced to abandon his children, and was thrown into a one-man obsessive mission? Not unlike the eventual fate of ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'''s Paul Atreides, whom he portrayed in the Creator/DavidLynch [[{{Film/Dune}} adaptation]].

** On the subject of the above, the fact that on both shows, the {{Adorkable}} GadgeteerGenius of the crew has a desperately unrequited crush on TheMedic, who is [[ObliviousToLove at best clueless about it,]] [[AllLoveIsUnrequited at worst often cold and distant]].

* The episode title "As I Have Always Been" might very well be a ShoutOut to StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan, [[spoiler: especially given Enoch's DownerEnding]].

* The episode title "As I Have Always Been" might very well be a ShoutOut to StarTrek, specifically the film Wrath of Khan, [[spoiler: especially given Enoch's DownerEnding]].

* Fitz-Simmons' little robots are named after Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs.

** The way [[spoiler:Talbot as Graviton]] kills people at the end of season 5 is similar to the Ice Warrior's in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E9EmpressOfMars "Empress of Mars"]]''

* At one point, Skye compares [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America]] to "The Dude" from ''Film/TheBigLebowski'', and becomes frustrated when [[PopculturalOsmosisFailure no one else gets it.]] Interestingly, this mirrors [[Film/TheAvengers2012 The Avengers]]'s scene when Cap looks frustrated to find out that he is the only one who understands Nick Fury's reference to Book/WizardOfOz.

** In "Together Or Not At All", when the team find a gravitonium device, Fitz and Simmons test it together. Before entering the device, Simmons quips, "Allons-y", a favorite catch-phrase of Actor/DavidTennant when he played the Doctor.

* [[spoiler:Graviton]]'s costume is very similar to the Kryptonian suits from ''Film/ManOfSteel'', right down to a nearly-identical texture and the curved lines on the waist.

*** Possibly unintentional, but the image of Fitz and Simmons embracing each other as they float upward in the gravitonium device resembles Amy and Rory embracing as they fall together in [[Recap.DoctorWhoS33E05TheAngelsTakeManhattan "The Angels Take Manhattan"]]. The episode's title also echos Amy's words before they make the leap; "Together or not at all."

* Coulson's classic Corvette "Lola" turns out to have machine guns hidden behind the headlights, much like a [[Franchise/JamesBond certain other spy's]] Aston Martin DB5.

** [[spoiler: After absorbing the Gravitonium, Ruby]] pulls Daisy towards [[spoiler:her]] telekinetically, bolt upright and rigid, much like the way [[Film/TheLastJedi Snoke pulled Rey towards him in his throne room]].

** In "Together Or Not At All", when the team find a gravitonium device, Fitz and Simmons test it together. Before entering the device, Simmons quips, "Allons-y", [[Actor/DavidTennant]]'s favorite catch-phrase as the Doctor.

* A double one in "The Honeymoon", where Talbot refers to the LMD [[spoiler: that shot him in the head]] as a "skinjob", which could be a reference either to the ''[[Film/BladeRunner Blade]]'' ''[[Film/BladeRunner2049 Runner]]'' movies or to ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''.

* Mike's MotiveRant at the end of the pilot is basically MichaelDouglas' speech from the end of ''Film/FallingDown'' modified for a world with superheroes.
