marvel - Why haven't we seen more of Arnim Zola?


In Captain America: The Winter Soldier™,



Arnim Zola's consciousness is revealed to be within a super-computer in a bunker



Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to have copied himself elsewhere? Wouldn't this have caused the same or similar issues as Ultron? In Avengers:Age of Ultron™,




Vision provides the power to force & lock Ultron out of the Internet



But wouldn't Zola have the same advantage of self-replication & infiltration, albeit with less potency perhaps? Do we have any indication that he wasn't destroyed along with that bunker, and isn't still nefariously scheming away on some AWS server somewhere?



Answer



We have seen no indication of the continued existence of Dr. Arnim Zola in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Captain America: The Winter Soldier.


However, an absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. You are correct in thinking that after Dr. Arnim Zola transferred him mind into a computer, he could have been able to replicate himself an almost infinite number of times all over the world.


For all we know, he is still out there somewhere and trying to rebuild the Hydra that was destroyed after Steve 'Captain America' Rogers exposed Hydra in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. However, the list of upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films doesn't leave much room for Dr. Arnim Zola until some point after the two part Avengers: Infinity War is concluded in 2019.


But we might see him before that in some capacity. The final scene of season one of Agent Carter saw the return of Toby Jones as Dr. Arnim Zola in SSR custody in 1946. With a second season of Agent Carter confirmed, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dr. Arnim Zola make an appearance in that at some point, showing us how he managed to set up his own Hydra within SHIELD.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
