We could have had it aaallllll- pet peeve fandoms

They showed up in TWS?

 

my first thought WAS that they were brainwashed
like, in the aftercredits scene originally, they did NOT seem like they wanted to be there, so the fact that it turns out that they volunteered is just WEIRD, other awful implacations aside

 

Yeah in the after credits scene. I thought they were there against their will too! And that in the next movie magneto was going to show up and tear the facility apart because Nazis took his kids.

 

And like, it would have been a way more interesting plotline for them
(also I was kinda weirded out by how hard they were going for creepiness from wanda initially, and then phased it out real quick?)

 

um

movieverse hydra are generically totalitarian, not nazis

it's still offensive just from the associations of course but i've seen some really vicious fights about this before so i just would like it not to go unsaid

 

...dude they started as the Nazi science division. They're nazis. The red skull was a nazi.

 

If nothing else in the TWS stinger, Pietro keeps bashing into the walls. That is not the action of someone who wants to be in the tiny cell he's in.

 

hydra kind of outgrew being nazis, but they were definitely pro-nazi collaborators, and have since been super into genocide and subjugation. whether they're specifically into white supremacy or are just using it as a tool to get the nations with the nukes to do what they want is kind of up in the air and honestly not a very important detail to me. they're sufficiently nazish that it's a fucking affront for pietro and wanda to be made 'volunteers'.

 

Yeah and they were in plexiglass cells the size of a small bathroom, right?

 

Yup. Which, you know, is totally how volunteers are typically treated, right?

 

absolutely
that is definitely exceptional volunteer treatment
normally they're kept in crates

 

fuck

 

i said it was still offensive and it is

but red skull was very contemptuous of hitler and planned to nuke berlin

not a very loyal nazi

 

Meanwhile, Clint keeps having to call Nat for backup because he wanders off to really weird places in his quest to catch All The Bird Pokemon and keeps getting lost.

 

I'm picturing him having accidentally crossed into a different, like, state.
eventually he's just showing up in other countries.

 

yesssssssssssssssss
normal superheroing going on but the battle chatter is just "YES BUT WHAT IF POKEMON, GUYS"

 

no, clearly he needs to have one of each cat possible.
all of the cat pokemon
all of them

 

hdu erase meowstic and liepard

 

No, black panther's starter pokemon was the new lion legendary.

 

eh, I actually liked Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead quite a lot! enough so that they're episodes whose plot I still remember, even though it's been like a year since I watched them. admittedly I liked them not so much for the plot as I did for the monsters; there's a very fine line for me between "...this is supposed to be scary?" and "OH GOD NOPE NOPE NOPE TURN IT OFFFFFF," and they walked that line pretty nicely. I was more or less "oh god, here we go with the Love Interest" the minute River Song was introduced, though. Moffat. >:(
