These are based on comic books.
Why did they call it shield in captain marvel when they didn't name it shield until iron man?
Coulson was just playing coy with Stark. After all, Stark's father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.. It just goes to show how little Stark was involved with what his own father was doing (which was kind of the point of Iron Man 2).
Plus, in the Agent Carter One Shot, Howard had already used the acronym "S.H.I.E.L.D."
Howard and Peggy founded S.H.I.E.L.D. and they may have chosen a name that would spell out "shield" in honor of Captain America.
In AoS, Ward even says "Someone really wanted our initials to spell out shield."
Also, The Incredible Hulk (the very next movie after Iron Man came out), has an opening sequence where you can see files that are dated 2004-2007 (before the events of Iron Man) and some of the files say "S.H.I.E.L.D. File" or "Nick Fury Shield Command".
S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded in the late '40s or early '50s, I highly doubt it would take them 50+ years to realize their name spells out "shield".
The fuck are you even talking about? You’re still wrong, because Howard Stark names in before Carol’s movie took place. Fuck off with your nonsense
This:
>using the word "homeland" in the pre-9/11 era
They fucked up.
>they didn't name it shield until iron man?
Kek This nigga
That doesn't prove OP wrong it just shows they forgot this earlier than realized. This is just the first time that fuck up was in a mainline movie
>It's deep lore. Didney would never make a mistake
>OP desperately trying to move the goalpost
It’s been a thing way longer than Carol’s events, which took place in the late 80s-early90s. Stop being dumb
