Something that bugs me about Secret Empire is that it's got nothing to do with the Secret Empire.

Okay, so the Secret Empire is an organization that wants to rule Marvel's world without anyone knowing they're being ruled.

They're an offshoot of a HYDRA organization that broke free from HYDRA and started working against them and everyone else.

It's not like they're a minor thing, either, since Richard Nixon was the leader of the Secret Empire and him blowing his brains out in front of Captain America was a huge turning point for him at the time.

Cap, not Nixon. Nixon died when he shot himself.

So, yeah, we've got a Secret Empire event about HYDRA, not the actual Secret Empire, and there's nothing secret about it.

It's just... kinda dumb.
