A lot of social commentary in this show and I'm truly surprised Disney actually went through with it with their history of making everyone happy. Isiah Bradley's history with the government secret experiments agansts black soldiers AND Falcon getting stopped by the police makes the people thinking Sam didn't get that loan because he was gone for 5 years look bad. Everything is this show is intentional. I think even War Machine ending his conversation with Sam about the shield with "brother" has more meaning now. This show is pretty, good. It's pretty sophisticated. This is not as splashy as WandaVision but it feels just as bold. They weren't lying when they said it was going to be like Winter Soldier. A lot of Grey in the plot.
Everybody has been trying to get that sweet sweet super soldier serum and it just cant be replicated, I bet Cap can still throw down just because he got the original juice. I want to see this Isiah Bradley/Winter Soldier fight. They should have cut down Falcon's fight scenes just so they could show us this one. Imagine Captain America Fighting Bucky's Winter Soldier to open this episode but after the fight we find out the dude under the mask is Black. That would have been nutty. That would have trended.
The Winter Solider actor is funny, man. Funny in this. Funny in the skating movie. Funny in that Tom Holland movie.
I like the show. I think they doing great. I do like the John Walker characterization. He and BattleStar work for me. Having read the original comics (some) You realize that he is not a *bad guy* per se just a politically radical guy to start (well he was a bad guy at one point) I am curious as to whether he has the formula at this point or not More like the Power Broker's upgrades at this point They have dropped so many hints and allegations one cannot help but wonder where it goes.

18 months ago, I have a really hard time imagining Disney letting them go where they are going with the subject matter Wandavisions first few episodes were mostly a waste, these first 2 have been great. They've done an awesome job of connecting you to these 2 despite not really doing much. Really excited to see where they go with this.
Very good episode 2. So far so good. Everyone in the cast has been solid. The action is movie quality and likely cost them a fortune. They will need to be careful with too much banter, but it's working for now. We don't need the internet to watch this and that has been refreshing. More popcorn.
Both concepts so far seem like mini movies. I expect the same from Loki. Props to Marvel/Disney TV squad
In all honesty, Tony Stark was smart enough to set up an "Avengers Fund" made up of his own wealth which would have set up each Avenger financially for life. So this particular situation feels forced. Smart enough to invent time travel, but not smart enough to set up a finance plan for his avenger teammates despite being a billionaire CEO? Yeahh no.
I dont know about forced. Tony might have offered but the heroes may have all said no. The only person to take money from the Starks is Spiderman and that was for charity for Aunt May.
That's a fair point. Or the writers didn't think of Stark offering at all. Or they didn't care because they just needed Falcon to be hurting for that loan for character reasons.
I agree it seems very forced, there is no way the gov would leave The Falcon needing that type of money because he could turn to doing illegal stuff, they would have already taken care of that before needing to get a loan.
I don't see why he would turn down the money seeing that he wants to continue to be The Falcon he would need money for stuff like simple maintenance. I admit I have not seen it but it takes a huge leap of faith to think the gov or shield would let him continue to have that equipment and be broke at the same time, no way they could trust him at that point if we are using real world logic.
There's a bit too much buddy cop humor for my tastes and these bad guys are lame as hell. Winter Soldier face planting out of the plane was just stupid.
I've got exactly 1 black friend. I need more though. Actually @Jontro and me are brothers from another mother. That's two black friends now .
