SHIELD Presence?

[Gamingboy]

I read in the Wikipedia article that one of the changes Norton did was "toning down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s presence". Does anyone know what SHIELD's role in the movie is/will be, if any?

 

[Obi-Ron]

Not sure, but I seem to recall the SHIELD logo on some of the early toy pics.

 

[Nivek]

Well, if Norton did that, he deserves a big thank you. One of the main things that got on my nerves in Iron Man was the S.H.I.E.L.D. presence that you we're constantly beaten over the head with.

Oh, and dont assume everything you read on Wiki is actual fact.

True, but I wasn't mentioning that so much as fact as being the reason this question entered my mind.

But you didn't know it was SHIELD until the end of the film...which is why I try to avoid too many spoilers because you can take a fun surprise like that and turn it into something annoying, with only yourself to blame.

I didn't know SHIELD was in it (I heard about Fury having a cameo, but not about Shield). I was able to piece together the Acronym.

maybe we'll see the Captain American shield again too

Not gonna happen, but since the Super Soldier serum is involved, it'd be hilarious if Blonsky asked if he could have a Shield.

I actually got it the first time the agent said it to Pepper.

yeah, probably not, but i am hoping some easter eggs in the movie like Iron Man.

 

[Obi-Ron]

They supposedly put a lot of them in.

Dude, it was obvious when the bald guy first mentioned who he worked for when he came to debrief Tony after he was captured.

 

[Kirmit]

.......it was a bit obvious .

 

[co2]

I guess I was too much invested in the rest of the film to find it obvisous. I think most of the audience, and I'm talking about those that know who SHIELD is, were surprised as well.
Because really that joke was only done for those that do know who SHIELD is.

Nick Fury is mentioned in the main title sequence at the beginning of the movie. That is the only SHIELD presence I know of.

I wouldn't mind seeing some type of SHIELD presence in the movie, just to get the continuity of the Marvel universe in the movies. Not a huge amount but at least in a scene or two.

I agree very much and even if SHIELD isnt in it, we will have the

Tony Stark cameo at the end.

[Scooter]

It would have been kind of cool if they had gotten the same actor who played the SHIELD agent in Ironman to make an appearance.

Spoiler

But I guess they got Tony Stark himself, so it works out.

 

[Bubonic]

I guess a lot of you were too memorized by the film to notice the reference.
But if someone throws out an acronym related to secret service, and a point is made about how Potts never heard of them, and its in a Marvel movie which had a rumored Nick Fury cameo in it and that the acronym is that of an organization that you figure comic geeks would be familiar enough to notice...

Well all that said I can't understand how you'd miss it!!!

Anyways, even though we were told we'd get a bunch of easter eggs, I'll have to wait and see, I hope that Norton didn't write a bunch of them out on account of his own opinion.

Certainly.

I myself am glad I went out of the theater before I saw a black Nick Fury on the movie (or I should have rated it as a less good movie).

And well, since it worked so well, I'm planning on walking out from TIH before Tony Stark makes his unnecessary annoying cameo too.

Agreed.

You're both a racist, and an idiot

Why would Fury being black make a difference? His race isn't important to the character, and Sam Jackson was the basis for Ultimat Fury. So no problems there.

And how is Starks unnecessary and annoying? They're linking all the movies together for the future Avengers movie, and we have no idea at this point exactly HOW linked they'll be. With what we've heard of the Stark cameo, I woudln't be surprised if we see Stark designed Hulk Buster armor in the next one.

I concur.

You're both a name caller and clueless.

Yes, let's have a black Superman and an Asian Batman if the essence is still the same. Anybody who disagrees should be called a racist by you.

Or in Superman's or Batman's case the race is any more important? No different race man could defend truth, justice and the American way?

And how is Starks unnecessary and annoying?

If the scene appears after the credits, then it's completely unnecessary for the movie.

And about the annoying part...

They're linking all the movies together for the future Avengers movie,

^ That's the one.

A completely pretentious concept of having too many superheroes (which probably means too many supervilliains) together in a possibly vast CGI crapfest. In best of cases not a chance of a serious movie (and by serious I'm not ruiling out touches of comedy please).

and we have no idea at this point exactly HOW linked they'll be.

That makes it doubly annoying.

With what we've heard of the Stark cameo, I woudln't be surprised if we see Stark designed Hulk Buster armor in the next one.

Which is quite unnecessary.

I concur.

Without a basis.

Which makes both you and your post unnecessary and annoying.
