Cool, cool, I have no problems with that. Last thing I want to do is ruin something for somebody. Hadn't participated in a thread in here before, so I didn't know the protocol.

[QUOTE=Y U NO OBJECT;44530587]Did you watch the solo episodes? The Alan Moore Manhattan Buttplug is episode seven. Each Avenger had their own episode, Iron Man's deals with SHIELD, and Cap's deals with HYDRA. The Nazis and Hitler don't show up because the producers were given the choice between Nazis and guns.[/QUOTE]
The thingy I'm watching them on lists the big action thingy as the first episode and then the solo episodes after it. Also there aren't guns in the series, only laser guns which don't count. Justice League (well, Batman:TAS) had recognisable kinetic weapons AND Nazis. But Avengers:EMH has that green dirty sexy English Nazi/HYDRA lady very suggestively pull the pin of a grenade with her tongue so I'll give it points for that.

And then she pulls out a whip. I'm beginning to see why this show is rated better than Avengers Assemble.

they still wouldn't know that [sp]Alexander Pierce was in Hydra, Nick Fury survived or that (with a little bit of obliviousness) Bucky is the Winter Soldier[/sp]

The Nazis or guns choice was for the Cap solo episode.

its a great film
It deserves it so much. One of the best Marvel movies so far.
Finally got around to watching the Hail to the King one-shot. I really liked it but I'm still feeling apprehensive about introducing the real Mandarin in future films.
I already know that there are rumors of a fourth Iron Man film especially after seeing that Marvel survey, so maybe IM4 will be his entry point. My problem with that would be that Tony technically already faced two guys bearing the name. Fighting a third might just make the film feel like Iron Man 3.5. But on the bright side having Iron Man actually fight his arch-nemesis would be fantastic and the Mandarin would be far better than all the fellow scientists/CEOs Stark has fought in previous films.
Maybe to counteract that they could introduce actual magic into the MCU and make IM4 a team-up film between Stark and Dr. Strange against the Mandarin and Dormammu or some other prominent Dr. Strange villain? Then after introducing Dr. Strange they could show his great origin story in his own standalone film.
strange standalone first then im4
i don't think they would have actual magic though, probably asgardian tech
[QUOTE=Pops;44580287]strange standalone first then im4

I think they're slowly trying to introduce magic due to the twins.
However [sp] It seems they used Loki's staff to give them powers as they were apparently the only two that survived. Idk how they're going to introduce Strange, but it's about time they start working on magic in this universe. [/sp]
they've already worked on magic though. thor is pretty much 100% magic
[QUOTE=Pops;44580287]strange standalone first then im4

They're going to have to introduce actual magic at some point if they're going to do Dr. Strange, even if it is sci-fi in origin.
Regardless I think having Stark team up with the doctor would be really interesting and sort of help the audience view the MCU's first glimpse of magic through Stark's eyes, him having to work with a force that he would be totally cynical towards as a genius scientist.

It's not completely magic though, it's a mix with science. It's just what his culture interprets it as.

magic is just science that we don't understand yet though. that exact phrase was used in the movie, and i'm pretty sure they're gonna go with that for the entire MCU

Yeah I just read what Kevin Feige said about what Dr. Strange's powers might be like. I still stand by my idea of an Iron Man/Dr. Strange team-up in IM4 though. That would be rad.
[editline]18th April 2014[/editline]
I'm only worried because Dr. Strange is supposed to be like the main defense against many major mystical threats in the Marvel comics iirc. If it's just misunderstood science then anyone from Asgard could take care of it, so they'd have to really emphasize that he's the only one who has any sort of grasp on defeating new magical/sci-fi threats in the MCU.
So, what's HYDRA's deal in the comics and Earth's Mightiest Heroes? In the films they're a split from the Nazi superscience/paranormal divsion of trying-to-make-jetpacks-or-mechahitler but now want to take over the world because there's nothing else for them to do on a Saturday. Or am I missing some deeper motive?
Im pretty sure a Doctor Strange comic even mentioned clarkes third law.

he just has more knowledge and magical powers than most asgardians. thor's power might come from magic but he's still a brute. strange would have access to most of the artifacts that are more effective against specific enemies, for example

I don't know about EMH, but in the comics Hydra goes all the way back to Ancient Egypt as the Brotherhood of the Spear, and had infiltrated many organisations under different names throughout history, like the many heads of the mythical hydra, hence the name. Modern Hydra was formed in Japan but was taken over by Baron Strucker, a high-ranking Nazi, and turned the organisation towards world domination, and in the process caused knowledge of Hydra to become public, leading to the creation of SHIELD, but was set up by Hydra proxies within the UN to gather knowledge in ways that Hydra never could, and through SHIELD subvert the world to their own ends. After WWII and the first death of Strucker, Hydra broke into several splinter groups, one of which led to the creation of Jessica Drew, the first Spider-Woman. After the Hydra Civil War, the organisation was reunited, and has had several leaders over the years, including Baron Zemo and Madame Hydra/Viper (the green-haired whip-wielding woman you mentioned earlier), and after Secret Invasion Baron Strucker changed Hydra's goal to outright conquering the Earth.

Linkara was right! Ancient Egypt is the Ultimate Evil! Damn, and it's one of my most interested time periods (except for the whole pharoh arranged marriage thing). So, in the end, it is just because they've got nothing better to do than take over the world?

It was only after the start of WWII that Hydra was evil, and that was because everyone in charge since then has been a power mad uberNazi.

So what was their motive before then? And now? Why do they want to take over the world? Is it ever explained? Is it ever questioned? Does HYDRA even know why? Why does anyone join HYDRA? What would they even do if th-oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

There isn't really much about Hydra before Hydra, just that it used to be called Brotherhood of the Spear, and assisted human development behind the scenes till WWII, when they became the uberNazis, which they are to this day, and everyone in Hydra is also an uberNazi. Recruitment is the same as any secret society, people Hydra think might be interested in joining them are approached.

None of the media I've seen HYDRA in have talked about racial purity or anything like that... They seem perfectly content to fuck about with genetics.
