The bad news is, we may have to wait awhile before they pay off.
So, feel free to use this space to discuss and speculate on what we were just shown.
In the meantime, heres our take… And yes, comic book fans, hedoeshave a monocle.
Of course, Strucker isnt really the show.
For starters, hes got Lokis staff, the same one used to murder Phil Coulson inAvengers.
But again, this still isnt the real spotlight…

Thatdistinction would be our first look at Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.
Both are imprisoned, and Strucker refers to them as his miracles.
In fact, the full line is VERY telling: There is nothing more horrifying than a miracle.
Is this going to be the buzzword that replaces mutant in the Marvel cinematic vocabulary for now?
Is Strucker supposed to be their father since Magneto isnt available?
Judging by the reaction this got in a crowded theater, it worked.
We almost certainly wont see them again untilAvengers: Age of Ultron.
Neither are particularly in control of themselves.
Throughout the movie, theres little doubt that, eventually, the Winter Soldier would remember who he is.
Is this something that the filmmakers might explore in future Captain America sequels?
What did YOU think?
What else did you spot in the background?
Lets hunt some Marvel easter eggs together!
