Todays the day. Will likely watch. Hoping the first ep is more promising than WandaVisions was but the concept is certainly far less intriguing | |

Decided to binge it this week. All caught up through ep 5:
|
As average/sometimes corny as expected really. The Flag Smashers are terrible. I like that the show tackles the post-blip stuff and how it impacted the world but I wish they’d focus on that even more. I wish the villains/their motivations were more directly tied to the blip somehow. I mean the Flag Smashers are I guess but I wish it was more clever. I’m sure they could’ve come up with a unique motivation tied to that event
Zemo: sure
Sarah Carter: who cares
Sam/Bucky dynamic: not bad but kinda hollow
John Walker: best part of the show imo. Wyatt Russell is always good, right now I’m most interested in him going into the finale
The boat plotline lol. Why
Action sequences aren’t bad
Loved how we watch a scene of Sam deftly handling the shield. Then he decided to commit to being captain America. Then we get a training montage of him struggling with the shield (?) and the payoff at the end is him deftly handling the shield (???). We JUST saw him do that!!

Dumbest part of the show: when Battlestar died. Everyone immediately FREEZES and stops fighting. They just can’t believe it!!! Well wtf were you all fighting for then? You were literally trying to stab the heroes in the face and would’ve succeeded had they not blocked you. So one finally dies and everyone is simply shocked and runs away. What are the STAKES here! You’re all just trying to beat each other up and call it a day?
That’s maybe my biggest critique with the MCU in general. It reminds me of the forced, god awful hero on hero fight scenes that they try to cram into every MCU movie. Hate it!

Finale

Whatev. Pretty uneventful/standard
Flag Smashers were lame per usual. Sam was good, his new suit is p dope. Anthony Mackie rose to the occasion, it’ll be cool with him as the new Cap. Weird to have to specify which Captain America you’re referring to now though, irrationally bothers me and I wish his name was slightly different. But that’s been a thing with comic books for ages so whatev!
Torn with what they did with Walker. Felt like they weren’t sure what to do with him at all tbh. Which is kinda fine because it keeps him open to appear down the road in other things. I’m glad he didn’t have a cheesy redemption death but I still wanted more than just him trying to save the van. Missed opportunity at a better redemption arc. Didn’t realize US Agent was a classic character but I’m looking forward to him coming back
Bucky, meh. Didn’t have a whole lot to do
Sharon Carter....okay?? Dumb post credit scene, I don’t care about her
Action was decent. Some of the things Sam did with the Wings/Shield combo were pretty slick
Surprised Torres(?) didn’t show up to help as the new Falcon
6/10 show overall I suppose. Maybe 5. It was fine. No where near Daredevil/Punisher s1
