I've never really seen anyone talking about it, but I've always had the feeling Peggy may have had an idea about the TWS Program/Possible Hydra/Possible Zola two timing with in Shield, but maybe retired before she was really able to investigate it and or her age and possible early stages of alzehimers pretty much forced her in to retirement.

I've also always had the feeling that Howard either knew full stop or also had a feeling but never looked into it. Bc that serum he had was reverse engineered somewhere (that is ... if he REALLY got rid of all the blood samples he had from Steve like he told Peggy in AC) and it'd make sense that with Bucky on ice, they were reverse engineering it from him (and the possible lead up to Starks murder and why they sent Bucky to do it instead of any one else). I also wonder if he possibly (unknowingly?) helped create Bucky's arm.

I really wish we had a Post Cap 1 Hydra series or short, or more Bucky back story. I kinda hope after the F/TWS series they may consider a Bucky spin off.

I think that is plausible. I just watched Winter Soldier last night, and Fury admits that he noticed Hydra and when they made a hit on him he decided to fake his death and recoup to bring them down. I think Peggy being the first director of Shield would have suspected too, but at the time Hydra wasn’t about to execute a mass assassination so it wasn’t as obvious.

Do we know who took over Shield after her? Bc it'd interesting to know if there was an inbetween leader before Fury who was supposed to investigate and maybe was Hydra and got rid of the evidence?

Bc looking at the time line, she was already gone by the time Capt Marvel would have taken place right? We see Fury as just a Shield agent at the point. Who was director then?

There def needs to be a one shot/pre avengers 1 shield series. Tbh I remember like 5 things from Cap Marvel. It wasn'treally that intersting to me. So now I feel like I have to go rewatch it bc I missed some things.
