As I mentioned in a previous post,  reviews and spoilers for CA:TWS are coming in before the April 4th release in the US. I must say, S.H.I.E.L.D. is really not looking good here. Apparently, HYDRA, the evil organization seen the First Avenger, has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. from its beginnings. Not with a mole here or there, but REALLY infected the organization in great numbers, even in top positions. How can S.H.I.E.L.D be so careless - and stupid? Could it be the not-so-bright idea of recruiting Dr. Zola into its ranks? S.H.I.E.L.D. has been so paranoid about superpeople - human and non-human -  it lumped all of them as bad because of the actions of a few. By doing that it left itself wide open for homegrown human threats with no powers to come in and really do some damage. HYDRA is not using superpowers in this case; it's using S.H.I.E.L.D's fears and prejudices to its advantage to destroy the agency. The fallout to AoS should be interesting...taking bets that Melinda May will be suspected as a HYDRA mole reporting to a higher up in S.H.I.E.D. that has also been turned.
