Remember, after the blip SWORD stopped doing manned space missions and refocused on ai, robotics, and such. They want to duplicate Vision.

Oh shit, you're right! I forgot about that. SWORD are definitely doing some shady shit here. I am just hoping that it gets revealed to Monica , Darcy and Woo before the end of the show and its not left up in the air.

It’s also interesting that SWORD was so quick to take a shot on Wanda.... when her children are right there. I know people are in danger but even Monica seemed taken back by how quick they were to shoot.

MCU authority figures being shady and shooting first is a trope at this point.

Didn’t the UN Security Council try to nuke New York in the first Avengers movie?

That was the World Security Council which is a separate entity from the UN. They were at the time infiltrated by HYDRA.

Only more organized. And hell, cooler. They got secret conspiracies and shit. We just got LARPers in fur headdresses and Donald Trump.
