@@pyr1412I don’t know why he won’t bring Daisy back already. Secret Invasion was the perfect time to do it if he wanted to. Although considering how that show went I’m glad he didn’t.
At this point AoS is completely distinct from the main MCU, and explaining how we fit the absurd premise of the latter seasons in a pre-Engame MCU would ruin both. Most of all, daisy and stuff had a satisfying conclusion in season 5, and brining them back wouldn't add much to them, like in season 6 and 7. Honestly, AoS was too good for the MCU, so it's better forgotten by them
7:07 When we realized that Sitwell is Hydra and the fact that he recruited two criminals into thinking that they are working for SHIELD when he is actually Hydra. Probably the most evil thing Sitwell has done.
There's another moment from Agents that I didn't include here because it happens after Sitwell died and didn't fit the structure of the video. Coulson exposes Garrett as being the Clairvoyant, and has a SHIELD tactical team surround him to take him into custody, and Garrett says to them: "Gentlemen, I know Agent Sitwell was in charge of filling your ranks, so at least a few of you know what to do in this situation." At which point some of the tactical team immediately kill the rest of the team. So it does seem that recruitment may have been part of Sitwell's job for Hydra.
Hydra in shows and movies: we work together, lethal and efficient Hydra in every video game ever: I'll totally ruin another Hydra unit's mission so I look better for the boss that will eventually casually kill me during conversation to show how badass they are
I mean, to be fair, fascistic minded people tend to be pretty near-sighted when it comes to thinking ahead. Their long term reasoning isnt that great, and they tend to focus on short term gains over long term returns... especially when it comes to looking good in front of the big guy. It's really all a bunch of sniveling, miserable twats who prey on ignorance and good-faith to take advantage of those around them. HYDRA is the ultimate culmination of the worst people on earth. It's really no surprise that they are that bull-headed and idiotic.
Am I the only one who is amazed at how good Marvel is at casting actors to play younger versions of their characters? I'm thinking of doing a video on it.
Are we all going to forget that at the time when young Sitwell was recruited, SHIELD was still refered by its long name since only after 2008 (Iron man) it was shortened by it's initials?
Its initials were used, they must have been, as the insignia of the shield already existed before iron man but it was apparently policy for many agents to still use the full name when dealing with those outside the agency, as the son of Coul often demonstrated.
They got this wrong in Captain Marvel as well: Fury shouts to bystanders that it's a SHIELD situation - even though the public isn't supposed to know anything about SHIELD ( he could have just said "Federal")
I have to say watching this back, when someone was like taking a bullet is more than Sidwell did and his clearance is a level 7, I got a lil suspicious. You don't get promoted without doing something crazy or kissing tuckus...
I remember back when, they created a whole timeline for Cap turning sides and an image of him saying Hail Hydra blew up the marvel side of the internet... everyone was freaking out, a war almost began due to it... then marvel does this... lmaoo - this was Marvel, what it's supposed to be.
So cap saying “hail hydra” to knowingly tryto work his way out of a difficult situation without violence to save the people from his universe whilst not actually being a hydra agent …. Is equivalent to cap throwing his friend off a jet to his death and saying “hail hydra” sincerely as he had his past rewritten which would factually make him a nazi when the creators of the characters were Jewish.

It's so weird that a high-level super spy leaks out the biggest secret when he's only been kicked down a roof, they didn't even start torturing. If hydra members are such fragile they could've been exposed way earlier.

The algorithm doesn't predict who's gonna become a hero or get powers, it just predicts who would be willing to be loyal to Hydra. Stephen was pretty arrogant and egotistical before and so that's likely why he was on the list.

Ive always wondered why the MCU, rather thsn use full on movies to introduce new characters, didn't just make movies with storylines so that all the characters would have actual arcs like this
I forgot how Marvel made a giant flying aircraft carrier, then made it somehow able to be completely sabotaged by an arrow that somehow hacks the entire system from a single, random, funky looking USB port.
Great job on this video. I'd love to see more of these MCU continuity vids. Can I suggest one for the Darkhold? After Agents of Shield I know it showed up in The Runaways but I never watched that series.
There isn't a lot of continuity with the Darkhold. It showed up in Runaways looking just like it did in Agents of SHIELD, but with no sign of how it left Robbie's possession and ended up in Morgan's. Then it appears in WandaVision looking totally different, and then Multiverse of Madness tells us it's a copy. So who even knows how many copies there might be.
@@PenneySounds Actually, only one. It's all the same Darkhold and it travels when it feels endangered and can cloak itself so its not immediately recognizable in addition to influencing others. None of these shows and movies have come to close on how truly insidious and dangerous it really is.
@@danielhaire6677 There are a lot of possibilities. But unless it can travel in time, it can't have been in Agatha's possession for centuries while also passing through the hands of Johnny Blaze, SHIELD, Robbie Reyes, and Morgan le Fay.
@@PenneySounds Given that it is a nexus for the powers of the Dark Elder God of Chaos and Magic, Cthon; I wouldn't bet against it either. If I had to choose between the Darkhold and Sauron's One Ring, I would choose the Ring. Infinitely safer for my health
@@danielhaire6677 Basically its powers are so varied that the apparent contradiction can be explained away in a dozen different ways, be it multiple copies or time travel or shapeshifting or whatever. But it's hard to make a continuity video until they actually give an explanation, whatever it might be.
Small thing I always wondered. Was the “Engine 1 is now in shutdown” voice Chris Evans? 😂 Also Coulson and Sitwell saying goodbye before he goes to the Lemurian Star has serious Anakin & Obi-Wan “goodbye old friend” vibes.
4:22 Nick, my guy, why the hell did you not _immediately_ yank that arrow from whence it landed? You absolutely had time to remove it before it could actually plug in
What was so great about the character is that he was the one you least suspect would be in League such people. He came off as a bland yet capable and reliable bureaucrat, when is true allegiance a revealed its kind of shocking. This was back when the MCU was actually making an effort at good storytelling, what kind of cool is that when he appeared in winter soldier(my favorite installment, hands down) you don't know anything about unless you watch agents of shield, if there's perfect symmetry between the show despite no reference between them. When the Russo brothers were at the helm the MCU was it's peak. But kevin feige got jealous, threatened and overconfident, Ran them off along with all the other capable, and the rest history.
The MCU has produced a lot of great material lately. The only place they've failed is with this multiverse stuff where they keep bringing in Sony and Fox stuff, and doing things like introducing an alternate Mr. Fantastic before introducing the MCU version. They keep reducing their own characters down to merely being weird alternative versions, when they should have been the definitive versions. They've been putting cameos ahead of story. But I'd bet that's not what you were talking about. You were talking about the films and series they've done recently that were good but had women in them.
I find it super weird that during recent years, Marvel has turned various TV shows into MCU canon … but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is *not* one of them …that is just … bonkers considering it was actually produced by Marvel Television (though admittedly spearheaded by ABC Studios) … Of course, the series - like pretty much everything else - is considered ”multiversally canon” by Marvel, just not MCU ”sacred timeline canon” :-/
@@PenneySounds I truly wish that were the case since the show started with such great attempt to tie everything together with the movies and they really did their best to keep up with what was happening - with the huge uphill battle of simply reacting when you have no creative control over what happens "in the world". However, as long as Kevin Feige says that the show is not canon, it doesn't matter what you, me, or any other fan says, thinks or feels - it will not make the show canon.
@@malhaomalhoa7486 yeah i know It's just that making it canon feels like it'd drag AoS down to the MCUs level. Which is dumb as it wouldn't actually change the show and it's not like theyd ever actually do anything with it even if they did say it was canon
Holy crap, I completely forgot Sitwell and Hawkeye were in Thor. I thought they debuted in The Avengers. The Thor movies before Ragnarok really just aren't interesting enough for me to remember or rewatch.
LMFAO smart hulk with the time travel and then the Endgame scene. Great editing! The MCU messed up canonically because Sitwell wasnt supposed to be on the elevator
The girl he was talking to became a general in the military. Another person in their class was none other than Baron von Strücker. I have a video on him.
They made him so likeable, and then made him a traitor. Kind of masterful way to give the audience that same feeling of betrayal as the characters had.
I liked him before because he was always to straightfaced and unfazed throughout the craziest events. But as soon as he was exposed as Hydra he became this sort of sniveling coward character. Really made me not like him now that we'd seen the real him instead of his cover story.
@@PenneySounds I mean to be fair he got kicked off a building, and was at risk of being severely punished by Pierce had he found out he spilled their plans to Cap and his team (very likely killed, especially since he quite literally says "Pierce is gonna kill me"). Before all that I'd say he was relatively the same. I don’t see how he was a sniveling coward.
Basically as soon as he gets that call from Sam, the straightfaced agent disappears, and what's left is this kind of pitiful guy. And then when I looked back and saw how basically the entire MCU was trying to give this guy a hard time all along, I couldn't see anything else but the pitiful guy.
@PenneySounds OK, now I KNOW I missed some part(s) of that season, because I don't remember that. I also don't recognize him recruiting those two criminals...
Thank you for taking the time to make this! It's a great edit. I cant figure out what movie/series is the scene of Sitwell collecting the sceptre from Black Widow? Tried searching through all the films and deleted scenes
It would have been so awesome when Cap said in Winter Soldier “Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?” Claire from the one-shot, says “I would like to get out” and appears behind him. 😂
Except I’m pretty sure the two scenes in the elevator take place in two different locations- the scene where they gang up on captain America is in the SHIELD headquarters, and the scene where captain Americas steals the scepter they’re inside iron man’s building in New York.
I've wanted to know that too. Looks like some kind of straight razor or cleaver-style folder, but all my attempts to find out the exact model have been just like the knife. Pointless.
Totally unrelated. Just really good casting. Marvel has a history of it. Look at the younger versions of Thor and Loki, and of Killmonger, and Gamora. The resemblances are so good that you know at a glance what character you're looking at. Though in season 7, they showed a younger version of the character of John Garrett, whose actor had passed, and they did cast his actual son to play the younger version.
Thing is Dr Strange hadnt yet gone to kamar taj during winter soldier so there would be no reason he would be a threat to shield or hydra. Why were they keeping tabs on a surgeon?
@@alimfuzzy Because he's extremely intelligent and had a sense of right and wrong. Why were they keeping tabs on a high school valedictorian in Iowa city?

@@PenneySoundsand also pre-magic Strange, despite his immense talent in surgery, is not the type of person willingly cooperate with "the authority". Hydra was afraid he might join the "resistance" out of pure spite
@@quakethedoombringer There were lots of reasons for them to see him as a threat, even if we assume Zola's algorithm wasn't predictive enough to tell he would eventually become a sorcerer. And I'm not sure it wasn't that predictive.
You think that guy would come back as a zombie? If you read the comics you'll know that Sitwell comes back as a zombie. Maybe he'll come back as a zombie as repentance for his role in HYDRA?
I know a lot of people want AoS as cannon in the MCU, especially since that was how they seemed to sell is at first... but I'd happily let it go for a proper Victoria Hand as a replacement for Nick Fury. Especially after Secret Invasion. Still, good vid.
I can imagine Sitwell standing in the elevator for ten minutes, wondering "when, exactly, did Hydra convert Captain America?".
Lucky for him his timeline got pruned before Pierce could find out Sitwell got tricked.

Sounds like comic Sitwell is more like Coulson or Hill in the MCU
Comic Sitwell goes waaay back to the Nick Fury comics, actually. A loyal friend and brother-in-arms. He was "done dirty" by the MCU... and also eventually by the comics, too (killed by a brainwashed Black Widow and only occasionally brought back for a joke as a zombie)@@PenneySounds
We were so focused on Agent Coulson that we didn't realize how much agent sidwell was RIGHT in front of our eyes
Ive always wondered why the MCU, rather thsn use full on movies to introduce new characters, didn't just make movies with storylines so that all the characters would have actual arcs like this
Because each movie needs it's own characters to have arcs in and of themselves
If Romanoff is after you, you break. Poor Sitwell.
She tricked the trickster god
I forgot how Marvel made a giant flying aircraft carrier, then made it somehow able to be completely sabotaged by an arrow that somehow hacks the entire system from a single, random, funky looking USB port.
1:43 Showing him as two-faced
Great job on this video. I'd love to see more of these MCU continuity vids.
Can I suggest one for the Darkhold? After Agents of Shield I know it showed up in The Runaways but I never watched that series.
There isn't a lot of continuity with the Darkhold. It showed up in Runaways looking just like it did in Agents of SHIELD, but with no sign of how it left Robbie's possession and ended up in Morgan's. Then it appears in WandaVision looking totally different, and then Multiverse of Madness tells us it's a copy. So who even knows how many copies there might be.
@@PenneySounds Actually, only one. It's all the same Darkhold and it travels when it feels endangered and can cloak itself so its not immediately recognizable in addition to influencing others. None of these shows and movies have come to close on how truly insidious and dangerous it really is.
@@danielhaire6677 There are a lot of possibilities. But unless it can travel in time, it can't have been in Agatha's possession for centuries while also passing through the hands of Johnny Blaze, SHIELD, Robbie Reyes, and Morgan le Fay.
@@PenneySounds Given that it is a nexus for the powers of the Dark Elder God of Chaos and Magic, Cthon; I wouldn't bet against it either.
If I had to choose between the Darkhold and Sauron's One Ring, I would choose the Ring. Infinitely safer for my health
@@danielhaire6677 Basically its powers are so varied that the apparent contradiction can be explained away in a dozen different ways, be it multiple copies or time travel or shapeshifting or whatever.
But it's hard to make a continuity video until they actually give an explanation, whatever it might be.
Small thing I always wondered. Was the “Engine 1 is now in shutdown” voice Chris Evans? 😂
Also Coulson and Sitwell saying goodbye before he goes to the Lemurian Star has serious Anakin & Obi-Wan “goodbye old friend” vibes.
I don't think so? Not sure.
@@PenneySoundssounds like him though don’t you think?! (If it didn’t before, it will now 😂)
@@OptimysticPessimyst Could go either way.
Having Winter Soldier take place in places i recognise in DC was surreal
4:22 Nick, my guy, why the hell did you not _immediately_ yank that arrow from whence it landed? You absolutely had time to remove it before it could actually plug in
Pretty sure his initial reaction was 'Good, he missed' not 'OMG a trick arrow, I better grab it'
Yeah before noticing after he could've died that it was a trick arrow, you illogical dunce?
What was so great about the character is that he was the one you least suspect would be in League such people. He came off as a bland yet capable and reliable bureaucrat, when is true allegiance a revealed its kind of shocking. This was back when the MCU was actually making an effort at good storytelling, what kind of cool is that when he appeared in winter soldier(my favorite installment, hands down) you don't know anything about unless you watch agents of shield, if there's perfect symmetry between the show despite no reference between them. When the Russo brothers were at the helm the MCU was it's peak. But kevin feige got jealous, threatened and overconfident, Ran them off along with all the other capable, and the rest history.
The MCU has produced a lot of great material lately. The only place they've failed is with this multiverse stuff where they keep bringing in Sony and Fox stuff, and doing things like introducing an alternate Mr. Fantastic before introducing the MCU version. They keep reducing their own characters down to merely being weird alternative versions, when they should have been the definitive versions. They've been putting cameos ahead of story.
But I'd bet that's not what you were talking about. You were talking about the films and series they've done recently that were good but had women in them.
8:38 *killed me*
That’s like GameGrumps level comedy, love it!
I find it super weird that during recent years, Marvel has turned various TV shows into MCU canon … but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is *not* one of them …that is just … bonkers considering it was actually produced by Marvel Television (though admittedly spearheaded by ABC Studios) … Of course, the series - like pretty much everything else - is considered ”multiversally canon” by Marvel, just not MCU ”sacred timeline canon” :-/
It's considered canon and always has been. It's not a multiverse story.
@@PenneySounds I truly wish that were the case since the show started with such great attempt to tie everything together with the movies and they really did their best to keep up with what was happening - with the huge uphill battle of simply reacting when you have no creative control over what happens "in the world". However, as long as Kevin Feige says that the show is not canon, it doesn't matter what you, me, or any other fan says, thinks or feels - it will not make the show canon.
@@uttula But Kevin Feige doesn't say it's not canon. He's never said that. He's repeatedly said it is.
@@PenneySoundshard to implement it since they had inhumans stuff but mcu don't
They also didn't have civil war, snap, blip, and their time travel works different. More like X-men movies actually, where past can change future.
7:33 Jemma Simmons is so baby and I love her for it
Make sure you call hydra agents Nazis. That’ll really piss them off
@@jaxonjaxoff3291 It was very funny when Skye said that to Ward and he got offended.
Definitely a Sitwell with that hair
2:24 what kind of psychopath puts an open cup of coffee on the dashboard
@@topper156 A props master
Rip Bill Paxton
And people say that Agents of Shield isn't Cannon to the MCU...
Yeah, it was always cannon up until the last season. I remember when General Talbot was told about Thanos and he wanted to help lol
Big fan of AOS. But I want it to be non canon, because it's so much better than the MCU has been
Well, thanks to Loki and the TVA, even wayward branches of the multiverse like what AoS turned into can still be somewhat considered canon.....
@@hermanmunster4607 That's kind of a stupid reason ngl
@@malhaomalhoa7486 yeah i know
It's just that making it canon feels like it'd drag AoS down to the MCUs level.
Which is dumb as it wouldn't actually change the show and it's not like theyd ever actually do anything with it even if they did say it was canon
Ok, 17:19 got me 😂
Bill Paxton was a great addition to the MCU.
His son James played a younger version of the same character in the final season.
Great edit 👍🏾
Where is the footage from Sitwell being a kid from? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. Is it AOS?
Season 5 episode 15 "Rise and Shine"
Thanks!!!!
16:00 I didn't realise they teased Doctor Strange before he even came to the MCU damn
He was teased before the MCU even existed.

@@PenneySounds Shit I forgot about that as well
"And you will be stuck in middle management" She Got Him.
2:37 fuck I feel this so bad. I never get told jack shit about anything until the very last moment. It’s frustrating. 😂😅
Kid Sitwell...wow that actor really looks like the adult Sitwell.
Holy crap, I completely forgot Sitwell and Hawkeye were in Thor. I thought they debuted in The Avengers. The Thor movies before Ragnarok really just aren't interesting enough for me to remember or rewatch.
Maybe if you watch them again you might feel different
LMFAO smart hulk with the time travel and then the Endgame scene. Great editing! The MCU messed up canonically because Sitwell wasnt supposed to be on the elevator
@@vinnyalto9742 Different elevator, different building, different city, different year
So agent Sitwell has been embedded within SHIELD since he was younger THATS WILD!!! Lol
The girl he was talking to became a general in the military. Another person in their class was none other than Baron von Strücker. I have a video on him.
Now his death feels so wildly anticlimactic
I hate the way they just completely get rid of him, he was an interesting character.
Characters like this are so essential
"Can't go back, Bob"
I'm still sad that they just killed him off like that. I liked him ;-;
They made him so likeable, and then made him a traitor. Kind of masterful way to give the audience that same feeling of betrayal as the characters had.
@@PenneySounds I liked him both before and after he was revealed to be Hydra
I liked him before because he was always to straightfaced and unfazed throughout the craziest events. But as soon as he was exposed as Hydra he became this sort of sniveling coward character. Really made me not like him now that we'd seen the real him instead of his cover story.
@@PenneySounds I mean to be fair he got kicked off a building, and was at risk of being severely punished by Pierce had he found out he spilled their plans to Cap and his team (very likely killed, especially since he quite literally says "Pierce is gonna kill me"). Before all that I'd say he was relatively the same. I don’t see how he was a sniveling coward.
Basically as soon as he gets that call from Sam, the straightfaced agent disappears, and what's left is this kind of pitiful guy.
And then when I looked back and saw how basically the entire MCU was trying to give this guy a hard time all along, I couldn't see anything else but the pitiful guy.
Great job, the Russo Brothers did a man's work on this series.
Hydra school??? when did that happen
Flashbacks in Agents of SHIELD season 5. I included a bit more in my video on Strücker.
Agents of Shield. You're missing out if you haven't watched it
"Are you thor, god of hammers?"
Did you know that in the comics Jasper Sitwell died and he became a zombie all of a sudden
Where are the first two clips from? I have never seen them. It’s like some sort of hydra academy
Agents of Shield season 5 features flashbacks to a Hydra academy.
@PenneySounds OK, now I KNOW I missed some part(s) of that season, because I don't remember that. I also don't recognize him recruiting those two criminals...
@@Bdubs8807 The criminals were from the Item 47 one-shot
10:07 is everyone tiny or is the F18 really that big?
You mean the fighter jet in the background? Looks normal to me.
Thank you for taking the time to make this! It's a great edit. I cant figure out what movie/series is the scene of Sitwell collecting the sceptre from Black Widow? Tried searching through all the films and deleted scenes
@@AsphyxiateBambi It's from Endgame, but I carefully edited out Tony sneaking into the room and watching.
18:20 Rumlow be thinking "what the fuck how deep are we"
It would have been so awesome when Cap said in Winter Soldier “Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?” Claire from the one-shot, says “I would like to get out” and appears behind him. 😂
I totally forgot he ended up hit by Truck-kun
Maybe he got Isekai-ed
Except I’m pretty sure the two scenes in the elevator take place in two different locations- the scene where they gang up on captain America is in the SHIELD headquarters, and the scene where captain Americas steals the scepter they’re inside iron man’s building in New York.
@@matthewnewton8812 Yes, and Sitwell wasn't in the elevator the first time.
TIME TRAVEL!!!!!
killed me xD
I thought the thumbnail was a bald Jimmy Fallon
I don’t care about mcu continuity now I want them to have standalone movies
This makes me so happy
wait so they knew about Dr. Strange before Captain America: The Winter Soldier? 16:06
He was a very famous surgeon.
Never realised they tell him to report to the boat hes on in the film
Yup, and that episode aired just a couple days before the film came out.
I REALLY wish Agents of SHIELD was part of the canon.
...It is
So why the hell has Feige now said this show isn't officially MCU canon?? Clearly it is. How can it not be??
He hasn't.
@7:01 ok please, what knife is that?
I've wanted to know that too. Looks like some kind of straight razor or cleaver-style folder, but all my attempts to find out the exact model have been just like the knife. Pointless.
Was that young actor his son or something? He really does look like a young version of him.
Totally unrelated. Just really good casting. Marvel has a history of it. Look at the younger versions of Thor and Loki, and of Killmonger, and Gamora. The resemblances are so good that you know at a glance what character you're looking at.
Though in season 7, they showed a younger version of the character of John Garrett, whose actor had passed, and they did cast his actual son to play the younger version.
In the case of young Sitwell, the glasses are doing a lot of the work too.
Thing is Dr Strange hadnt yet gone to kamar taj during winter soldier so there would be no reason he would be a threat to shield or hydra. Why were they keeping tabs on a surgeon?
@@alimfuzzy Because he's extremely intelligent and had a sense of right and wrong.
Why were they keeping tabs on a high school valedictorian in Iowa city?

@@PenneySoundsand also pre-magic Strange, despite his immense talent in surgery, is not the type of person willingly cooperate with "the authority". Hydra was afraid he might join the "resistance" out of pure spite
@@quakethedoombringer There were lots of reasons for them to see him as a threat, even if we assume Zola's algorithm wasn't predictive enough to tell he would eventually become a sorcerer. And I'm not sure it wasn't that predictive.
It's unfortunate that Lizzy Caplan was only in a One Shot, and not given the chance to be a major character in the MCU.
When Marvel Editorial mandates are on point: Kennedy.
You think that guy would come back as a zombie? If you read the comics you'll know that Sitwell comes back as a zombie. Maybe he'll come back as a zombie as repentance for his role in HYDRA?
Still wish How Jasper inform Hydra during working as Hydra spy in sheild
Something about this guy just doesn’t… Sitwell (⌐■_■)
I know a lot of people want AoS as cannon in the MCU, especially since that was how they seemed to sell is at first... but I'd happily let it go for a proper Victoria Hand as a replacement for Nick Fury. Especially after Secret Invasion.
Still, good vid.
Fuck it. I’m rewatching all of Phase 1
nice editing
