re: Even Honest Trailers loves The Winter Soldier ( Lots of Spoilers)

Lets not forget the whole ridiculous concept that so many Hydra Agent were in Shield that it wasn't even Shield.

They had to shoehorn this ridiculous contrived trash down our throats so they could toss out the equally ridiculous line that ALL of the people on the ships were Hydra.

They did that of course so there weren't 1000s of innocent deaths in the finale.

I liked the movie a lot but it did bug the hell out of me.

I agree that the overwhelming number of Hydra infiltrators isn't nitpicking. It is an outright contrived plot hole whose sole purpose was to cover up the fact that they probably killed several 1000 innocent Shield agents on those ships.
