Jumbled Theory: Hydra's Real Plan · 3:16pm Aug 24th, 2014
Alright, welcome to Jumbled Thought who is constantly trying to be Youtubers, but isn't. Today I'm going to tackle the fact that Hydra's supposed plan for world domination wasn't for that at all. It was for global genocide of every last person, Hydra or otherwise.
So first we need to discuss the original plan, but first
Anyways, Hydra's plan was to use the three combat Helicarriers that were going to be used to patrol the globe and take out any thing they deemed a threat to do much the same thing, take out every future threat to Hydra. This was through an algorithm that could tell your future decisions, through past decision making. However, what you really need to know is this was really only meant to ever kill people and maybe the odd underground terrorist. I believe this to be false.
Now I tried finding footage of the amazing carnage as the algorithm gets hacked and three helicarriers rip each other apart like Eainbow and Berry Punch over the last cup of cider. However, even though I couldn't find the footage to show you, it got me thinking. Those things have to be strong enough to resist long range missles, anti-air fire, and and anything else a country or terrorist might throw at them to try to eliminate the threat. Un this style, the damage to the helicarriers is done through explosions, heavy mortar rounds and cannons, and even full salvos of missiles. And here is the problem, and I will demonstrate with the scene with Nick Fury, Black Widow, and the new head of Hydra because I can't remember names worth a damn. (I almost forgot Nick's as I typed this.)
The three are standing there, facing off against one another in a not–so–classic mexican standoff. It is tense as the helicarrier's algorithms start up. Now let's say hypothetically, the algorithm wasn't switched. Even if Black Widow in her traitorous ways wasn't deemed a threat, Nick Fury absolutely would be. So a mortar round lines up, and Hydra now has two more heads as that room and everyone in it is blasted to smithereens.
Now why would I say this? Well, Hydra's plan requires an initial 20 million dead by the helicarriers. However, all of the things that get marked are people, not building or anything of that sort. This would mean just as many sniper rifles for precision take outs. However, from what we are shown and demonstrated, everything on them is explosive. You target one man in a crowd of loyalists and they have no way of not taking out the civillians with them. As more innocents are killed, more people become enraged. Even if it's only 1/100000 each time a random death occurs, the algorithm can add you by way of an angry blog post or any other such form off rebellion.
However, it gets worst. Hydra is not just attempting to kill everyone, but reset the planet and its technology as we know it. This next example will showcase the destruction in more then just human casualties. The hellicarriers are made of tough titanium (or something they made up, bad memory), but most things aren't. Let's take a small suburban house. It has a whole family of possible threats, so no innocents killed when the mortar is fired and the family is destroyed. What about the house? It's gone too.
Of course, people can simply live in tents if they have no homes, but what if there is a threat in a power plant, or major communications hub, What if Google is taken out through a stray bullet. There won't be enough people left alive to rebuild or reman these important stations, even if they are left intact. Ones that are left intact will then decay, having critical functions malfunction. Power plants will likely start to go off as practical time bombs killing anyone in a well populated area that miraculously survived. And who will be left?
Those maybe 20 soldiers on the hellicarriers themselves. Because they are loyal, and the helicarriers have no reason to turn their fire against each other under normal circumstances, these men and hopefully woman, would be all that is left over a broken and chaotic world. Survivors would be too far and in between with nothing to support them as they have to get back to being self sufficient. Even grizzled survivalists need equipment, and they also don't strike e as the type to fit in the Hydra mold.
So what was Hydra's true plan? To make an arc. To eradicate the world of the pestilence that is human, save a few choice members who deserved to live. They were probably taught, trained in how to survive. This would explain why none of them can even attempt to stand up to the Captain or Falcon. They may have looked like soldier's but they were farmers, ready to take the world back once nothing was left.
But hey, that's just a theory, a
Um, no worng. This doesn't even have to do with video games. Ugh, stupid rogue A.I. in my system. Anyways, this has been Jumbled Thought and his jumbled theory. Have a nice day, and watch the skies. Don't keep making Cinema Sins mad.
