Pinky Artichoke posted:S.H.I.E.L.D. was an organization that made no sense and was primarily a big bag of plot convenience even before the big Hydra reveal. No one knows we exist, but we have this big gleaming academy campus and evidently the recruiting pipeline to fill it. . We have this recruiting and training establishment, but we'll also randomly pick up black hat hackers, make them members, and train them entirely in the field (as long as they're cute and mysterious). There's a secret security level no one knows about but oh look now it seems like practically every upper-level person but Coulson has it. Some of our Listed Scary People are locked up in a prison that is somehow secret despite being in what appears to be a major urban area, but others are left to show off their weird punishment-gloves in an average Chicago (I'm guessing?) apartment building. Etc. This is a comic book

Did no one know SHIELD existed? I never clearly got that impression, I always thought they left it up in the air.

I figure it was something akin to the NSA, most people with a passing interest into spy games know they exist but most people never knew the full extant of their reach. Then some major scandal comes out of nowhere, (phone spying/Hydra infiltration) and suddenly they're plastered all over every 24 hour news channel.

Yeah, S.H.I.E.L.D. in the MCU was never particularly clandestine. Our first introduction to them back in Iron Man had an agent casually introducing himself to the secretary to a weapons manufacturer as being from the "strategic homeland yadda yadda".

Thor 2 was particularly odd because none of the new characters had ever heard of SHIELD before.

PriorMarcus posted:Thor 2 was particularly odd because none of the new characters had ever heard of SHIELD before. I took that as a situation where those characters had never really had any direct dealings with SHIELD, and even if the name had come up, they're primarily an American organization, so the Brits would have only heard of it in passing.

PriorMarcus posted:Thor 2 was particularly odd because none of the new characters had ever heard of SHIELD before. That's because shield isn't a well known organization by design. Only a couple hundred people really knew about them during Iron Man 1, and it had been around since the 1950s as a major world organization without borders. The real stupid thing about Thor 2 is people not running in terror when they saw Thor in the UK, about to fight something after having seen the sheer destruction and death toll from the Battle of New York from the Avengers. They just run up to windows as though they are suicidal.

Anyone who knows about what happened in New York also knows that the Avengers stopped an alien invasion. The Avengers are literally real superheroes to them, they admire and love them, it is completely realistic for people to run to the window and see the famous superhero, than to run to safety.

People seeing something weird/awesome and immediately trying to record it (and upload it online afterwards) is perfectly normal.

Someone already alluded to it here, I think (or I might be remembering that wrong), but I think REAL SHIELD has something to do with Stark Enterprises. Or that military guy whose name I can't remember at the moment decided, "Hmmm, this Shield poo poo is cool. Let's do that." Then proceeded to recruit a bunch of ex-Shield agents to get one more step ahead of Coulson. Tuesday evening can't get here quick enough.

I think I only just now realized that Wendell Levi is basically the (evil) male equivalent of Skye. It's like they're playing the male hacker stereotype against the female one.
