Yeah. I love gratuitous bits and bobs as much as the next comic book geek (and I asked just that question about Costa Verde vs Peru for SHIELD), but adhering to spirit is more important than adhering to canon — if<\/i> the reasons for doing the former vs the latter don't feel too much like "We have a really limited budget, plus viewers won't understand." \u00a0<\/p>\n

So, yeah, I want "Agents of SHIELD" to go up against Hydra, early and often. And\/or AIM. And I don't mind if Hydra isn't all dressed in green uniforms or AIM doesn't look like a lot of yellow beekeepers. But I do mind if they're just all mobsters, or generic mooks. \u00a0And throwing in someone who does the Hydra creed, or a background technician in one of those AIM bucket helmets will go a long way. Show you understand and respect the source material, and I'll give you a lot of latitude.<\/p>\n

Some pretty cool ideas thrown about. Of course it makes too much sense for Hollywood's collective, addled, minds to grasp….which is a shame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
