Those huge databanks are ancient and I bet you anything they weren't even 1/2 a TB. There are 1 TB flashdrives in our world so I would imagine the MCU has better tech. It is completely feasible he could have stored himself on the flash drive or uploaded himself to the net while he was calling in a Hydra strike team. How else would he call in the strike if he weren't connected to the net?
Agreed. Given the layer of dust in that room, I think it's been some time since anyone has had to physically be there to interact with Zola. Connecting him to the net would be a logical move to avoid undue attention on a base that's supposed to be abandoned. Also, I imagine to accurately create his algorithm he would require network access in order to access all the variables of current data
 
Good point but he would have to know they were coming, I still think he lives.

Anywho, what do we think these new contracts are going to be like from now on? I know they will want them to make appearances across all platforms they can (i.e. Netflix, TV, other movies) I highly doubt the actors will always be relied upon for favors in these situations

Well, if we assume Zola at the base has network access, and we know the flash drive already has *some* form of AI on it (Widow says as much in the store), then that could form a connection that allowed him to know they were coming ( if that makes sense)
 
Its possible anyone who entered the bunker would trigger a security device that would alert SHIELD/HYDRA
 
I was just trying to think if i dreamed it or did I remember reading that Asgard and Earth won't be on the best of terms at the end of AoU?

You are correct. However, you aren't when it comes to Thanos in Avengers 3; let's pull up some quotes.

“Clearly, there’s a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him. I wouldn’t say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what’s right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three.”

So, I have a theory. Is the reason Thanos isn't the villain in the second "Avengers" movie is because he's kind of the end boss in a video game? As in, where would you go after him?

That's.... We never thought of it exactly like that, but I'd say that's a fair analogy, yes. It's also, you look at some classic story lines in the comics and they tease out characters like that -- big bads like that -- for sometimes years. I think Walter Simonson was teasing Surter for years before he popped up. It's fun to have the luxury to build somebody up like that.

We have to stay grounded. It’s part of what makes the Marvel universe click – their relationship to the real world. It’s science-fiction, and Thanos is not out of the mix, but Thanos was never meant to be the next villain. He’s always been the overlord of villainy & darkness.

a Joss Whedon quote from Total Film

Well, Thanos is more powerful. He is so powerful he is not someone you can just try out and punch him. Like he did in the comics, you want him threading through the universe and to save the big finale for the big finale. He is definitely a part of what I have got going on.

The thing about The Avengers is that they are very powerful but not very stable. So, there will definitely be some people that will shake them up in the next installment.

That's all basic confirmation that Thanos will be the main villain in The Avengers 3.
 
^^ Still lots of stories/gems to set up before we get to a big finale with Thanos and I plan to savor every bit of it with youze guys! :)
 
Well i would be incorrect if I specifically said Thanos wasn't going to be in A3, I said 'who knows' because yes all these quotes say he is the big bad finale boss however we don't know if A3 is the finale apart from right now it looks like RDJ, Hemsworth and Evans will all finish in their roles, although Feige has clearly stated the characters will continue.

Anyway we've been through this, and to point out I do feel Thanos will be in A3, the reason I said who knows is, because really who knows until it is announced officially.
 
Cant wait for all these shows! Itll be cool to see how they create the backdrops and heroes for the Made for Streaming version of the MCU.

They can connect to the MCU without having guest stars from the MCU appear. There are several ways to do it.
 
that was also an instagram filter that makes the pic more blue-ish and darker which makes you look rough

Yep, I too can't wait to see street level heroes in the MCU, it will be really the first time police will have to interact with heroes/vigilantes and with no more SHIELD there won't be anyone monitoring these guys.
 
I mentioned this a couple days ago. But how about a show where it's from a journalists or regular detective POV getting mixed up in all this super-powered business?

Would be pretty interesting.

The weird thing about Agents of SHIELD: I didnt really like the show until SHIELD was destroyed.

One of my fav TV shows was Kolchak The Night Stalker. I loved the mix of news reporting/noir mystery/supernatural. A TV show like that but set in the MCU would be awesome.

I guess it's cos right now it's in the middle of a great storyline (which it was forced into) whilst previously it was just kind of meandering around waiting for the reveal of Hydra with kind of filler episodes.

For me Agents of Shield would have worked better later on in a world with a lot more superheroes and a lot more street level heroes and therefore a lot more villains which Shield could have interacted with.

A show like SHIELD needs some real intrigue and raised stakes to keep audiences coming back each week (which it finally got to thankfully). The characters feel very empty and dull when theyre just running around dealing with uninteresting sci fi issues. It doesnt help that we go see these exciting, well made super hero films, then on TV we get goofy agents who cant do anything except make snarky remarks to each other.
