Retcon that bothers me more than it should:

In Iron Man (y'know the first one, from 2008), Coulson keeps introducing his organisation as “The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division” and Tony Stark eventually suggests shortening it, so at the end of the movie, Coulson calls it SHIELD.

Then in Captain Marvel, which is set like at least 10 years earlier, they’ve apparently been calling it SHIELD all along.

Was Coulson just fucking with Tony? I’m gonna say Coulson was fucking with Tony.

It’s funny how Marvel insisting everyone rewatch their old movies to remember the plot keeps having the effect of people finding problems with the plot.

Eh, I think it was just more of a gag in that first movie. Something where Coulson can spout the line thru out the movie and the audience not really get what he’s saying until the end of the movie where he actually says Shield like a reveal.
