SHIELD in the MCU is an odd entity. The acronym was changed, the premised was different. What was once a International Organisation, was seemingly now a US programme which 'protects' the world. Not quite how it should be.
They act in MCU as a busy bodies, getting involved in things in reality they shouldn't. No longer a secret 'Espionage' division, more of a Registration Act than anything. Keeping tabs on super humans and if anything suppressing them. Only person who acts as the original concept is Fury and he wasn't even the highest ranking one there.
Of course much of my bitterness comes from the idea that Shield series started going on about there not being psychics in the world when 616 Shield has long had a Psy-Division, Mentallo is their product. And then Inhumans arriving, and they tried to force and elitist royal society as having the same problems as mutants...
Hmm, pie.
