I won't even lie, I laughed for like ten minutes straight in the cinema when Batroc popped up. He is the villain least likely to be taken seriously in the history of ever.
RE: SHIELD yeah, that's always been a headscratcher for me as well. They at least try to address it in Agents of SHIELD with two brits and Mei, who's either chinese or chinese-american, in the main team. I think it would have gone down better if they'd given Black Widow a clear Russian background and made Maria Hill Japanese or French or something.
Movie producers are going to be more and more careful to be international - that's why they are making more alien invasion movies like "Pacific Rim," because then the international teams can work together to kick alien ass! Assuming they have one, of course.
And I'm afraid the only way you could get a Marvel movie better than the Avengers is to let Joss Whedon write and direct "Black Widow" and cross your fingers.
That's a good point - I'm pretty sure most of the KGB ended up in the new Russian spy group, but I forgot their new letters; started with an F. I wonder how many Americans would have gotten the reference if they used the correct name... She did say in the Avengers that she started as a little girl, but she said she left the KGB, so yeah, you're still right.
