Hill even asked how the hell Fury committed a terrorist act on foreign soil with a team of mostly recognizable superheroes without the media knowing about it and gets no answer (and neither does the audience by proxy).
Agreed, and the internal logic wasn't great past that. Somehow, the team is absolved because Fury wiped their minds. How dos that work?

Or hell, look at Secret Invasion. None of the skrull reveals amounted to much, in-verse or out. Hell, their Queen was close to Nick Fury, yet nothing about that was even mentioned.

I have low hopes on how this will shake out, really.
