I don’t know if I just missed it, but did Yuri just randomly start talking about his dead son? It felt like there was 0 setup for the conversation to go that way
Also, the US agent reveal also felt rushed. We had no idea the government wanted another captain America, there was again, 0 setup. Just “hey we have a new captain America. Why? Because why not? I feel like we needed to see why the symbol of captain America might be have time return.
Really loving how all these shows are diving into the blip and it’s implications, everything getting back to normal. Feels uncomfortably timely. It would be pretty easy for them to just gloss over it
Another thing I’m really liking is how ground these Disney+ shows seem to be. Wandavision did it in a very different way, but we’re seeing characters in day to day life, not just when they’re saving the world
As for our villains, the abnormal strength could be any number of things, and considering Zemo’s involvement, might be related to the super soldier program. Maybe they were failed US agent’s or something
Don’t want to get into too many theories here since that absolutely did not pan out in wandavision
Rhodie’s cameo was nice. That is all
b) it’s spelled Rhodey not Rhodie. You acting like he’s a Barbie doll
1) That makes more sense. Still a bit choppy but much better
2) Do not insult Barbie machine
That was a banging episode and I loved that opening action scene.
Either way I enjoyed this episode and can’t wait until next Friday.
I’m really glad they gave John Walker some characterisation at the start, and they make him seem like actually isn’t a bad guy, he’s just doing his best.
Not sure if that will hold though considering what we know from the comics.
Really enjoyed, like last episode, the seriousness of the show. Some of the themes they’re exploring are excellent, especially when it would be so easy to shy away from them. The whole Isaiah Bradley sequence had me on edge and it was amazing.
I feel like they attempted some humour in this episode, but I’m not sure since I don’t think I even blew air once
Very glad we’re getting Zemo next episode, looking forward to that. Plus we know Powerbroker is going to be a player going forward. I’m glad they didn’t dance around the introduction, we just know the motivations of characters from the get go.
So far, the characterisation has definitely been the best thing about this series, it’s been excellent, and I really hope this is the kind of quality we get going forward, not just with the shows, but in the films too
Roll on next week
Bucky was friends with him until he fell off the train and started up again in Civil War. Then he was blipped so that’s about 30 years of Bucky being Steve’s friend. They were not in contact for 100 years. Sam legit gave up the shield because he didn’t trust Steve’s judgement. Both of them put Steve on a pedestal when he is still just a human with flaws. No one can live up to an idolized person in the idolator’s eyes.
I say petty as in they don’t want his help because “oh da shield” when all he has done is be propaganda like Steve was at first and come to their rescue like Cap’s first mission.
TLDR new cap as a person good, the government trying to reboot cap is bad motivations.
Also, can anyone bring me up to speed with Steve? Did he die or what after endgame.
Cool seeing Carl Lumbly playing another comic-book character after him being Martian Manhunter's dad on Supergirl, even if I didn't recognise him.
I do find it hilarious, though, that they gave Hoskins a codename yet he's still running around with a huge HOSKINS name tape across his pecs.
I'm intrigued to see how the story develops. The Power Broker and Flagsmasher story line could lead to some interesting reveals if the comics are followed. A new female super soldier hero could be introduced who dated a member of the FF. Things could get VERY interesting.
In the comics the only person who could master Captain America's fighting style was Taskmaster. So the government made Taskmaster train USAgent.
Its almost enough to make you wonder if the Taskmaster training had to be removed from the show due to the Black Widow movie being delayed so many times? The pandemic affected the world in so many ways.
