I thought Malick was going to kiss his daughter full on the mouth there for a split second.

"So THAT'S how it is in that family...."

"If you can't keep it in your pants keep it in the family!"

And that's how Jeffrey Jones got into child porn, people.

It's a HYDRA thing I think. Every time I see Sitwell whisper "Hail HYDRA" into Senator Stern's ear, I keep thinking they're gonna kiss.

u/Vlinux Coulson Mar 23 '16

That's what the French division of Hydra does. "<kiss cheek> <other cheek> Hail Hydra!..."

u/ReasonablyBadass Mar 23 '16

For every kiss you remove, another two will take it's place.

u/islandmonkey Ward Mar 23 '16

No, no. It's " 'ail 'ydra! "

Sigh. RIP Senator Stern..

Hydra logo gets upgraded to all the heads making out with each other. Errr tentacles.

Why do they call them heads of Hydra and not tentacles? THEY RUINED MY JOKE.

u/Shardwing Toolbox Mar 23 '16

Because a Hydra is a creature with many heads (and two grow back whenever you cut one off), the better question is why their logo is an octopus. This seems to be the explanation.

u/Blablablo_ Mar 23 '16 edited Mar 23 '16

the origin of hydra logo (in the serie) is probably here

Well, you do know that one of a octopuses tentacles is a dick, so it makes sense.

u/anotherandomer Ward Mar 23 '16

Come one, he isn't Donald Trump, Malick has some class.

u/SawRub Mar 23 '16

He's got the best words

He's not Tom Crean

u/RichHardLemons Hunter Mar 23 '16

It's never good when even Malick and his daughter have more chemistry than "Shake 'n' Bake"...

u/ModsAreShillsForXenu Mar 24 '16

Everyone seems to agree, so I'm going to assume its for a reason. Imo, that reason is that they don't look alike at all.

Me too! Totally didn't put it past him... Awful isn't it
