Age of Ultron Question

[elrhiarhodan]

So, saw Avengers: Age of Ultron on Saturday and generally liked it (although a little less that the first Avengers movie and a LOT less than Winter Soldier). But one thing keeps making me scratch my head.



How did the Eastern European baddies get a hold of Loki's scepter? The last person who had possession of it was Natasha, when she stuck it into the Tesseract-generated portal. How did it get from her hands (and by extension, the Avengers' hands) into a Hydra scientist's?

Seems like a serious continuity flaw. Amongst others.

SHIELD has grown on me as it's progressed. The first few episodes (maybe even the 1st half of S1), it's really working on the backstory, etc., of *this* team, this group of people. But there are references to things in Cap 2, etc., that are sprinkled through there and you'd never have noticed them when they first aired (the "welder"-type of torch-thingy that both Nick and Maria Hill used in Cap 2? Guess who invented it!) -- and they're often in tiny, throw-away comments, but if you watch for them, they're there (I noticed most of them when I re-watched w/my daughter, not when they originally aired.)

But a few weeks before Cap 2 came out, SHIELD kicked it into gear. It was almost as if they'd been in low gear, just slowing building up momentum, and suddenly they really found their groove. The last few ep's were reallllly awesome. And I remember, vividly, being in Cap 2 w/my niece (who didn't watch SHIELD) -- and all my Marvel-loving friends weren't seeing Cap 2 for at least several days -- and being all bursting-at-the-seams with SQUEE that I couldn't talk to anyone about, b/c once the big Hydra reveal happened, all the previews, etc., for SHIELD *clicked* and I was like, "OHMYGOSH! They're going RIGHT WITH THIS!" Like, *immediately*, they reacted to Cap 2. It opened on Friday, and on the following Tues., Coulson, et al., were dealing with the fall-out, and you *had* to have seen Cap 2 before watching that episode, or you'd have just ruined Cap 2 for yourself.

*ahem*

Yeah. I may be a bit of a fangeek about this... *snort*
