marvel - Captain America: Civil War | Zemo's motives and influence


I just felt there might be some plot holes around the Zemo character. Supposedly he did




everything including framing Bucky,



so that all the Avengers would come to a place where



he can make Stark watch the video of his parents death in the hope that would make him turn on the rest of the Avengers.



But how could he know that Stark (Iron Man) would even show up in that place?


And was Zemo the one who hired Rumlow in the beginning




to steal the biological weapon,



if so how did that fit in his plan?



Answer



Supposedly he did everything including framing Bucky, so that all the Avengers would come to a place where he can make Stark watch the video of his parents death in the hope that would make him turn on the rest of the Avengers.


I think his primary objective throughout the movie was to obtain hard evidence that the Winter Soldier has killed Stark's parents, in order to turn Stark against the Winter Soldier and presumably Captain America. I don't think he necessarily originally planned to have them meet him in Siberia.


However, as events played out, he eventually decided that dropping the false trail of the inactive Winter Soldiers would likely lead the Avengers there.


But how could he know that Stark (Iron Man) would even show up in that place?


Rogers and Barnes arrive and state "[Zemo] got here a few hours before us." They then gear up and enter the base. Moments later Iron-Man arrives and joins them. Then they ride a noisy elevator down into the facility.


Assuming the Avengers took the bait of more Winter Soldiers, he would expect some of them to show up (maybe he isn't current on how many are imprisoned or paralyzed). The elevator opens and it is Barnes, Roger, and Stark, lucky him! At this point he decided to reveal himself and show Stark the tape, to get them fighting. Had they not arrived, he might have left the base and found a way to get the footage to Stark at a later time.



If Stark hadn't been there, he might not have revealed himself (we may never know the truth).


And was Zemo the one who hired Rumlow in the beginning to steal the biological weapon, if so how did that fit in his plan?


I don't think there is anything to suggest that is the case. That sequence of events was more designed to demonstrate that the Avengers cause a lot of collateral damage.

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.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

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. ...
