Warning: The following post contains Captain America: The Winter Solider spoilers (and maybe spoilers for a couple other things). Read at your own risk.
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we learn that the evil organization HYDRA has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. in a vast, far-reaching conspiracy.
At one point in the film, Senator Stern (Garry Shandling) whispers, "Hail HYDRA" to S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández), and even World Security Council head Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) says the words aloud.
Naturally, the internet has had some fun with this.
It seems HYDRA's tentacles have stretched as far as Westeros.
I saw this suggested in the #HailHydra tag. Guess Tony wasn't the only Stark being targeted by Project Insight! #GoT
And Gotham City.
Easily my new favorite meme #HailHydra
And into the far reaches of space.
Alright, I'll get on this bandwagon too. Am I hip? Does this mean I'm relevant with young people? #HailHydra
And into the world of Walt Disney Animation…
I knew it! #HailHydra
…where classically handsome men of stature are not to be trusted.
I knew it! RT @agent324b21: Hans, u traitor!! #HailHydra @MingNa @clarkgregg @ChloeBennet4 @Lil_Henstridge
HYDRA was there in the Bible.
.@GManFromHeck @clarkgregg #HailHydra
And HYDRA has invaded the NFL.
The real reason why they are so successful...#HailHydra @clarkgregg
HYDRA has permeated American politics, be it Republican…
This might be my favorite meme #HailHydra
…Democratic…
Someone sent this to me... #HailHydra @clarkgregg
…or fictional.
Well then, just thought I'd leave this here. @clarkgregg @ChrisEvans @CaptainAmerica #HailHydra #CaptainAmerica
HYDRA's presence proves certain characters really do have nefarious motivations.
What Bedelia really said to Will Graham... #HailHydra #Hannibal
Or that one really should not trust a talking ape.
Let the @CaptainAmerica #WinterSoldier memes begin! #HailHydra
HYDRA has even wormed its way into the most unlikely of places.
Now we know when Black Widow first encountered Hydra. #HailHydra @clarkgregg @ChloeBennet4 @MingNa @IMBrettDalton
Or random.
They have taken over the puddin pops!!! @clarkgregg #HailHydra
Or adorable.
The best one im seen yet LOL #HailHydra
Or upsetting.
Oh no! Not Thomas, Toby and Percy! #HailHydra
Apparently, no one is safe from HYDRA's grasp.
NO ONE IS SAFE ANYMORE #HailHydra
Well, almost no one.
This is where I tap out. #HailHydra
