I just suddenly made this connection. Maybe heaps of people got there before me, but if not, here it is.

In The Incredible Hulk, though it’s the Army hunting Bruce, there’s a moment where SHIELD is very blatantly referenced, which in the past I thought was a bit of a ham-fisted way of reinforcing that Hulk was taking place in the same universe as Iron Man.

But I just realised, what they’re using? It’s Zola’s algorithm.

Though the Army and the FBI (whose logo is also present in that scene, potentially placing the actual computer at an FBI base) no doubt have their own monitoring stuff, Major Kathleen Sparr, Ross’s right hand, is using SHIELD’s proprietary algorithm to skim millions of emails to find the right phrasing, the right target. To find Bruce, and make the connection to Sterns. It has to be a pretty intelligent (or even, dare I say, sentient?) piece of coding to take what on the surface are fairly generic, common words and only return one hit, the correct hit, to point Ross and his team so precisely to Bruce and Betty’s rendezvous with Sterns. I mean, it’s not like the email says, “hey, I’m the Hulk, I’m on the run and the Army is looking for me.” There’s really not much for a standard search algorithm to work with, even if you’re smart about it and use things like Boolean terms.

Bruce was one of the people Sitwell listed on the roof as a Hydra target. Maybe he’s been one for a lot longer than we realised.

I am all about Bucky thinking that Captain America is a goddamn joke

and that it’s an even funnier joke when he finds out Cap is Steve

Because he knows Steve SO WELL he knows ALL THE WAYS he at once fits the persona perfectly and all the ways he doesn’t fit it at all. Steve…

 #somebody calls steve ‘mature and responsible’ #steve looks all modest and goes ‘well thank y—’ #‘you’re KIDDING right’ bucky interrupts #‘he used to pick fights with guys three—no FOUR times his size #kept trying to join the army so he could what? shoot a few bullets before a fly landed on him and took him out for good? #then some guy whispered ‘psst you want us to make you bigger? we think it might work this time’ to him from a dark alley #and steve said ‘yeah okay’ and by some miracle it didn’t kill or deform him #so then he spent some time skipping around bopping nazis on the head #which yeah sure okay #but then I was gone maybe SIX MINUTES before he decided it would be fun to grab a plane and play chicken with an ocean #so that knocks him out for a while but when he wakes up does he decide to take it easy for a while?#maybe stop trying to give the people around him as many HAPS—that’s heart attacks per second—as possible?’ #‘bucky—’#‘shut up steve #the answer is no #no he does not #he starts fighting aliens #ALIENS I tell you #and after he gets knocked around by THEM things taper off for a while #only eight maybe nine unnecessary life-threatening stunts a week #until he decides it’s time to shake things up and takes on a vast government agency full of traitorous trained killers because why not? #oh but he gets help #two people #you know to even up the odds #and—’ #‘BUCKY’ #‘shut up steve I’m telling her how mature and responsible you are’ #‘I’m sorry I forgot my parachute yesterday could you please just let it go’ #‘WE WERE FLYING OVER A DESERT DID YOU THINK YOU COULD DIVE INTO SAND JUST AS EASY AS WATER’#‘I’m not used to putting chutes on! it was an honest mistake! I’m sorry ma’am here’s your autograph we’ll just go now c’mon buck’

#but then I was gone maybe SIX MINUTES before he decided it would be fun to grab a plane and play chicken with an ocean 

#‘WE WERE FLYING OVER A DESERT DID YOU THINK YOU COULD DIVE INTO SAND JUST AS EASY AS WATER’

Please just leave me here to fucking die, I’m laughing so hard I can’t walk and it’s moved on to full on tears. I’ll just drown right here and now.

Sometimes I’m getting lost in AU hell so have more uh teenage superhero Winter Soldier…stuff
Natasha and Sam are not 100% fixed yet I did those rather impulsively but they get proper ones one of these days I think

Guess who only drew 10 pages for this zine? THIS GUYYYYY. EYYYY…

So this is my part of the zine that I did with pilot-star. We each did half of the book (I put in some sketches to fill things out), and honestly this is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I’m not a comic artist… though I’d like to get better at it. So here’s my stab at a starbucks comic.

These will be on sale at Otakuthon (Montreal) and Anime Revolution (Vancouver, table 49) the weekend of Aug 22! After that, you can find them at Fan Expo in Toronto the next weekend!!! We would really appreciate the support if you came by to grab one!!!

pilot-star:

First of all, I am so mad that Tumblr only let me upload 10 pages.  I just want to upload ONE MORE PAGE, TUMBLR. JUST ONE MORE.

So, bisouette will be selling this zine at Otakuthon (Aug 22) and Fan Expo (??? When is this), and I will also be at Anime Revolution (Aug 22, table 49 in the artist alley.) 

Secondly, I am so super sad Tumblr won’t let me post about the geometric shape I made for the zine that I might make a separate post for it. 

Thirdly, this comic is too long for one post so I will make a follow up post with the rest of the comic soon-ish!  

Oh, because I am ace at thinking up thinky thoughts before writing them down, of course I have this all backwards. This is the comic I made for this zine  I worked on with Bisouette.  It’s basically 50% her, 50% me. I’m going to post the entire comic online at one point or another, but we would still love it if you supported us and bought the zine.  We worked so hard on the cover!
