yes yes exactly (and lmaoo abt the adamantium, i've thought about that too but yes, copyright haha!) but yes i think that at the time it would definitely have been the best option, and i'm pretty sure that hydra would want to match/exceed cap's shield (thinking abt the dichotomy steve's shield to protect and the winter's soldier fist to actively fight)... also i find it so intriguing that the individual parts of the arm seem to move a bit like the destroyer in thor??
yess like if they had the ability to create this arm, they’d have had the ability to get hold of the damned vibranium they needed. taking something known for being used for good, twisting it, isn’t that what hydra are best at?
(also re: the destroyer thing this is a pretty damned good read about that but it’s a v interesting theoryyy)
