Okay. I heard from someone that the cat takes out his eye He was pretty damn insistent and he usually isn't the type to joke. But please tell me that isn't true...

Major spoilers It is true...except the cat is a pretty gnarly alien shapeshifter and when it happens the Skrull that is with him indicates it's more than the "just a scratch" Fury brushes it off with

Sorry man. It's totally true. I couldn't fucking believe it myself. Yup, they totally did it for laughs. I mean, ok it was kinda funny, but it completely ruined the badassery and mystery of Fury's eyepatch.
Whatever happened to the line, "The last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye"?

Early in the movie Fury's eye is injured but he can still see out of it though it's obviously bothering him. I think it was in a fight with a Skrull which would satisfy the conditions of having lost it because he trusted the person who the Skrull was imitating. Later on you see the kitty paw at it and the next time you see him it's a little bit later and he's wearing the patch. Thus perhaps it was the original wound that was responsible for the eventual blindness, his sight just deteriorated from that point slowly and the cat pawing at it later was entirely irrelevant which would explain why he's unconcerned about it lounging on his couch at the end and didn't feed it to the garbage disposal or let scientists dissect it.

Wait... They don't actually confirm what did it?! What kind of ridiculousness goes on in this movie?

This is played for laughs, you also see him refuse to confirm or deny a rumor Coulson heard that he was tortured by the Kree to give up the Tesseract and that's how the eye was lost. The cat was actually some alien like a multidimensional venus flytrap that swallowed the Tessaract which helped hide it from the Kree and spits it up post-credit. Lots of great fun was had with the cat before we found out it was definitely not a cat and its way of handling the Kree was a hilarious visual that cracked up the whole audience.

I was so disappointed that Nick Fury received his blind eye from a flerken. The way Fury spoke of his eye in The Winter Soldier made it seem like he got it from someone who betrayed him.

It's just bad, inconsistent retcon. I agree, but I also think it gives a new dimension to his character that I really like. That line in Winter Soldier now feels like the most Joss Whedon moment in the mcu which is kinda hilarious.

I also noticed a continuity goof. In The Winter Soldier, a photograph of Fury being sworn in as director of SHIELD has him with two functioning eyes. Clearly, it's been retconned that he was scarred before he became director.

Rumour has it a Kree burnt his eye because he refused to give them the tesseract!
