As revealed in Agents of SHIELD, Phil Coulson was to thank for this: that Helicarrier survived Hydra's attack and Coulson had it repaired in secret on Fury's orders in case of an emergency. It's also the original Helicarrier from The Avengers.
Notice the carrier's serial number, 64. CV-64 is a real carrier, the USS Constellation. Entered service in 1961 and retired in 2003. Looks like retirement didn't really suit it :D
True fact: this film was released worldwide days after the Agents of Shield episode that tied in, and before the reveal that Coulson had organised the recovery of the Helicarrier.
You see all these movies including endgame and all. And finally now you see agents of shield. And reaction is like what the f**k, everything is so godamnn connected!!!
I'm pretty sure it's the real Nick fury at this point. As for him ramming that piece of debris into the robot's head, remember that it's already damaged before it comes through the window, so all he had to do was look for a weak spot on the head. Also the drones clearly aren't built to the same rugged specifications as the main Ultron body. They seem to not even be made of vibranium, as evidenced by the fact that it takes several Avengers firing energy attacks at full power just to take him to his knees in his new vibranum body, whereas the drones are getting shot out of the sky by War Machine's minigun.
"She's dusty, but she'll do." Just so. Edit to add: doesn't she have point defense weapons, CIWS, RAM? I understand she's been mothballed but you seriously have no defenses but one dude in a flying armored suit?
She's undermanned since this was probably done without the government's approval, and she had to be deployed in a rush. Notice how everyone is running in circles trying to get her going? They probably didn't even have enough ammunition or trained personnel on board.
I’m assuming it’s because modern air defense is not made for countering medium speed flying androids. In winter soldier we saw a Vulcan TRY to shoot down the Falcon but missing. Or The writers are just too lazy and it was pointless to really animate
Ahhh quicksilver. Doesn’t live up to the name like X MENS DAYS OF FUTURE PAST DOES 0:20 I mean this slow ass guy manages to have bullets being fired at him a weakness to fast for him to notice ….. shot here then later dies by them smh
So weird seeing the Hendon Metropolitan Police training centre turned into the set for this scene. That statue in front of the building is CGI’d over a real statue of Robert Peel, the founder of the Metropolitan Police Service
Theta Protocol was a S.H.I.E.L.D. protocol led by Director Phil Coulson. It was an operation located at the Theta Protocol Facility to secretly repair Helicarrier No. 64 so that in the case of a grave world emergency, it could be recommissioned.
@@christoperfleming6832an operation that consisted of Coulson communicating with Nick Fury and Maria Hill and collaborating with them without the Avengers’ knowledge. It can be seen in season two of Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D
Pause at 2:53, I was gonna point out how much space there are between the rows of seat, though came to the conclusion that since they are life-boats for the helicarrier, that they would need space for a lot of personel to quickly move onto and into the seats, kind of how a commercial aircraft need to be able to fully evacuate all passengers within 90sec of deploying the slides, I then noticed the balcony-style railing on the life-boats, and.. ehm,, it kinda looks like the CGI teams ran out of time to model the life-boats as those life-boats are not only exposed to the surroundings, and such, wind if in air wouldn't be good, and if on water as "boats" in storms would be even worse, But, seeing as this is supposedly the original helicarrier that could be submerged, ahm, evacuating using life-boats with open canopy seem.. a tad bit lethal..
