Did you beta hannu off, zacko?

Not been totally on board with FATWS so far but ep 5 was class.

(there’s a post credits sequence for this one)

Ive loved it, episode 5 is the calm before the storm I feel. I only just noticed his nephews call him ‘Uncle Sam’ 😂

The balls on them with that straight from the comics costume. Captain America 4 in develepoment by the showrunner of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The show was fun watch, but one wonders what it could have been without the pandemic. One of the main plotlines was a man made pandemic, but that had to be hastily written out, and it showed.

Followed the final episode with Captain America: Winter Soldier. Still my favorite MCU-movie.

    Overall, a solid ‘B’ - commendable they introduced the racial politics of a black man being Captain America into things (and handled about as well as it was going to be in a Marvel Disney show), Isiah Bradley was a good story line. Some great Bucky / Falcon moments, John Walker was great. Zemo / Daniel Bruhl was great (once you just went with ‘I’m also a baron, massively wealthy and basically royalty. Did no one tell you?’.)

    But it was all over the place tonally and in quality terms from episode to episode. Some of the character developments were eye rolling. (Agent 13 / Sharon Carter in particular). Felt like it had been cut down from 7 or 8 episodes somewhere along the line with important developments hand waved away in reshoots / ADR. (Probs related to the pandemic plot stuff mentioned above). I’m guessing that may have meant some of the weaker parts of the show (the baddies, the GRC, the power broker etc) would have been punched up which is a shame.

    Looking forward to Loki. Looks class.

    Homegrove Watched Captain America: Winter Soldier last night….one of their best.

    Felt a bit underwhelmed with FAWS series. The baddies were a tad underwhelming. Great chemistry between the two good guys. Anyone else bemused with the ‘whites’ references? Ah, just me then.

      Dan I really enjoyed it, you’re right though the best thing about it was the chemistry between the 2 of them. Didn’t like what they did with Sharon however ( unless she turns out to be a Skrull ). Loved how Sam turned out in the end.

        nicksneddon Glad they are doing another Ant Man, they are the only ones that have been any good so far.

        nicksneddon agreed.. lots to love about the finale of FATWS, all except how they fucked around with Sharon Carter

        Marvel Studios really testing how much is too much for the fans with 4 MCU movies in a year.

        Nevermind, 7 movies in a year, starting this July.

          Homegrove Love it. 😃

          Grant must be soiling his pants in pure FEWMIN rage.

          Good Lord, I don’t visit this page often and judging from what I’ve seen just now, for very good reason. Shocking.

          Figured this is the right thread for this. They’re doing a reboot of Highlander, with Henry Cavill in the lead. If you have fond memories of the original do NOT rewatch it, it has not aged well. Jesus made that mistake a few years ago.
