"The Avengers were a family!" No, at best they were workplace buddies
When Thor went off after killing Thanos, did anyone bother to check up on him? Send a call, a postcard, anything? Nope!
When Natasha died, even though they didn't have her body, did they try to hold a ceremony or vigil in her honor? No, they just threw a bench over a lake
This is one of the reasons Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will always be better to me, because they were a family. They genuinely cared about one another and wanted the best for each other
When Daisy went rogue, Coulson spent months searching for her. Not because "Quake" was a vigilante, because he wanted her to be safe. Because he knew she would heal better with them
When Fitz was locked up by the US military, Hunter came to his aid. They escaped and when it turned out they needed to go back, he didn't protest, because he knew Fitz would eventually succeed. Because he knew that he needed the pod to save the others
When Daisy was let go from Hive's sway and she had so much self-loathing, Mack was by her side. He held her and hugged her and assured her that everything was okay, that she was a good person, even as she was trying to hit him. And when she ended up collapsing and crying in his arms, he stayed with her
The Avengers are fine. Okay, they're. Fine. But they're nowhere near being a family like the S.H.I.E.L.D. team is

Every time a show with great potential gets canceled, I'm reminded that this would have been Agents of Shield if it aired a decade later that it did.
It would be 10 episodes with no time to care for the characters, the Ward revealed would fall flat, Daisy would stay as Skye, Fitzsimmons wouldn't be canon, May and Coulson would never become something more. And we would never meet Mack, Bobbi, Hunter, and we'd be robbed of one of the best fun shows that ever aired.

my favourite character arc has to be Fitz and his evolving relationship with doors

"Poor thing, he's always getting knocked out, isn't he?"
Says Jemma Simmons, as if she didn't just knock him out with a fire extinguisher a few episodes ago.
