the MCU needs to get to the bottom of
these welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top ten MCU mysteries that need answers
Phil Coulson died still believing in
that idea before we begin we publish new
videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be looking
at the unanswered questions mysteries
and dangling plot threats that the MCU
has still not addressed
despite its 10-year history because some
plot elements of recent MCU films will
be discussed there may be spoilers ahead
Thank You captain pretty sure this guy’s
a war criminal now but whatever
after so DS videos is required by the
state let’s do it number 10 weren’t all
of shields records made public done and
it’s trending in Captain America the
Winter Soldier Hydra is revealed to
still exist and to have infiltrated and
partially controlled shield during the
film Black Widow and Nick Fury worked to
expose the organization to the public by
leaking shields entire database given
that shield has been around for over
half a century
that’s like Edward Snowden leaks times a
million what are we planning to do next
survive yet there’s very little of the
fallout from this explored in the MCU
particularly on agents of shield while
the organization crumbles and it has to
be rebuilt we’d have thought there would
be more consequences to all those
secrets being available to the world
that old friend is shield number 9
why did Thanos give Loki a staff with an
infinity stone in it typical of humans
they scratch the surface to never fail
to look with him in the first Avengers
film the Galactic tyrant Thanos grants
Thor’s brother Loki a powerful staff as
well as an army to conquer earth
provided he also retrieves the tesseract
which contains an infinity stone in
Avengers age of Ultron it’s revealed
that Loki’s staff also contains one of
the stones
so if thermoses goal is to acquire all
the stones why would he loan someone
like Loki something so valuable
particularly since he lost it so easily
was it just a case of a bad investment
number eight what happened to Samuel
Sterns aka the leader its mr. blue isn’t
it mr. brain Samuel Sterns is a
biologist who meets with Bruce Banner in
the Incredible Hulk with the goal of
helping him control his condition Sterns
is intrigued by the possibilities of the
Hulk’s abilities though and helps create
the film’s antagonist abomination in the
process he’s injured and some of banners
blood falls into his head wound
foreshadowing his becoming a villain
from the Hulk comics the leader although
Sterne’s appears in a tie-in comic like
many elements of The Incredible Hulk
he disappears from the on screen stories
of the MCU in the tie-in
he’s captured by shield but given that
organization’s rocky history is it
possible that Stern’s escaped or given
that they seem to be doing research on
him could they have been planning
something
[Music]
number seven what actually happened to
red skull
[Music]
you don’t have one of those do you
Johann Schmidt better known as Red Skull
is arguably Captain America’s archenemy
however at the end of Captain America
the First Avenger red skull appears to
be disintegrated by the tesseract ever
since this happened fans have long
speculated that the disintegration was
actually some kind of teleportation and
that Red Skull is still alive outlet
cosmos somewhere or even trapped inside
the tesseract itself given the villains
importance to caps history it seems odd
that he hasn’t made any appearances
after his initial one
[Music]
number six where is the real Mandarin
he’s here but he’s not here he’s here
but he’s not here put him in he’s
complicated Marvel fans were
understandably upset with how Iron Man’s
greatest foe was handled in Iron Man 3
first he appeared to be a terrorist
instead of a quasi magic user he is in
the comics then the terrorist was
revealed to be an actor with a different
character acting behind the scenes the
fan backlash was so great that a short
film called all hail the king suggested
that the real Mandarin may exist in the
MCU and be equally upset with how his
name has been used as mysterious as red
skull’s whereabouts are at least he
appeared on screen
Iron Man deserves a chance to properly
face his own nemesis you took his name
and now he wants it back
no sorry I still don’t get it
number five do the Avengers not know
Agent Coulson is alive fine now
during the first Avengers film Agent
Coulson is killed by Loki his death
serves as one of the motivations to
bring the disparate heroes together
Coulson’s resurrection serves as a large
mystery at the start of agents of shield
but he has not appeared in any of the
MCU films since his death given that
there a shared universe shouldn’t the
Avengers know about Coulson’s return by
now the lack of connectivity of the TV
series with the film’s may be partly to
blame and the MCU may have just missed
their window of opportunity who ordered
this director fury himself this is wrong
[Music]
listen to him
number four is hell at the MC use
equivalent of death to challenge them
is to good in the comics one of the
things motivating Thanos to acquire the
Infinity stones is to impress and woo
the female personification of death in
the Marvel Universe
however the MCU is considerably smaller
than that of the comics universe and it
has often combined characters and
concepts to simplify things for wider
audiences given that hella the
villainous of Thor Ragnarok is the
Asgardian goddess of death is it
possible that Thanos means to court
hella in the MCU only time and the next
two Avengers movies will tell
number three are the sokovia accords
still a thing it states that the
avengers shall no longer be a private
organization instead they’ll operate
under the supervision of a united
nations panel only when and if that
panel deems it necessary an
international agreement meant to provide
oversight of super-powered individuals
in vigilantes the sokovia accords are a
major talking point in captain america
civil war with cap and Iron Man each
opposing and supporting the legislation
respectively however outside of a few
mentions and appearances on agents of
shield the Accords have not been
mentioned for instance did spider-man
sign the Accords does the international
community know who Peter Parker is if
not for his actions in violation of
international law
if Tony is pissed imagine how the UN
feels with the last few films taking
place away from Earth and the next few
taking place in either remote countries
or dealing with bigger issues it’s
doubtful they’ll come up anytime soon
you hacked a multi-million dollar suit
so you could sneak around behind my back
doing the one thing I told you not to do
so everyone ok no thanks to you
number two is cap still cap college
campus in another mystery having to do
with the fallout from Captain America
Civil War the question of cap status is
left up in the air as shield doesn’t
belong to you
[Music]
you don’t deserve it my father made that
too not Steve Rogers himself of course
but rather at the title of Captain
America Rogers abandons his mighty
shield and is shown dressed in civilian
clothes at the end of the film with the
US government appoint someone new to be
Captain America in the comics Steve
Rogers had another superhero persona in
the form of the Nomad whatever the case
may be we just hope the MCU stays away
from the plunging neckline and we catch
the Spanish shoot number one where is
Nick Fury who the hell are you Nick Fury
director of shield I’m here to talk to
you about the Avenger initiative Nick
Fury is traditionally known as the
director of shield and while he held the
position for the first half of the MCU
he gives it up after Hydra is exposed
and goes underground
let’s Venice he resurfaces several times
after that to pass leadership of shield
to Phil Coulson and to help out the
Avengers with their Ultron problem
however the iconic character has been
incommunicado since then while we
understand that Samuel Jackson is a busy
actor the fact that he’s not slated to
appear in infinity war is a
disheartening prospect here’s hoping he
returns to his MCU roots with another
cameo trouble miss Romanoff no matter
who wins or loses trouble still comes
