Bucky was on a conditional pardon by the US government, he wasn't let off the hook at all. Walker was made into a walking mascot by the US and killed a dude that had no part in his partner's death just to get some kind of emotional catharsis which is not how a solider is supposed to act. Frankly, it's lucky that John wasn't thrown in jail.
The boat thing was fine IMO, it was the bank bit that was unnecessary since that did literally go nowhere. The community aspect was what I enjoyed the most and it made for a satisfying close to the series. You can really tell that Covid fucked with the overall pacing though.
I absolutely hated Karli. She was a close-minded bitch. When she got shot by Carter, I said "YES!" out loud at her getting killed.
Imo, probably not.
I physically cringed at the jokes in this trailer. Its so bad.. and this is the cartoon they greenlit. I can only imagine how bad Donglover's Deadpool or that fucking Hellcat series must have been for Hulu to pass on them but keep this abomination.
The whole “snap” and “unsnap” thing is a big ???????? in the MCU. There’s no way they can address it in any serious and thorough manner without raising a whole lot of questions they don’t have the answers to, the most you can do is raise surface-level concerns and brush away everything else with “it’s just a movie, don’t think about it too hard”. Because if something like this actually happened IRL - half of all life on Earth disappearing and then coming back 5 years later - just the snap on its own would likely cause a collapse of the world’s ecosystems, everyone coming back all at once would strain a slowly recovering system past the breaking point.
I've heard that the original plot was meant to be about a virus wiping people out (hence why they were going after vaccines in episode 2 and why Karli's mother figure died) so that would explain why it feels janky plot-wise. I agree that the costume needs a tweak and maybe a proper helmet. He's really asking for a sniper to take him out otherwise.
I call bullshit on that. Sounds like ego stroking or arrogance that Marvel would want to steal a fan's ideas and put them in the show.
No, what they’re saying is that because Marvel saw that people thought they were hinting at Reed Richards, they had to change things in the show as less of a build up to temper said expectations. Basically a “ah shit, people think we’re introducing the Fantastic Four, dial back the mystery!”
I swear I've seen this sort of thing happen more lately, creators changing the plot because they can't get their eyes off the audience. It completely misses the fun of mysteries. People are supposed to have the chance of figuring it/getting it wrong.
Yeah that makes more sense. I have seen the thing I mentioned happen before so I guess I'm cynical lol.
It's not really Sam's job to have the answers tbqh, that's on the senators since they have all the power and resources. They didn't really give a fuck about the currently settled people, all it was doing was swapping one set of refugees for another without understanding the core problem and just labelling people as terrorists or whatever if they resisted. Remember - Sam didn't condone Karli's methods, he just understood her issues. It's why he wouldn't fight her, but still tried to stop her.
That's not how his speech is presented, though. The senators look around all embarrassed and ashamed as if they've just been schooled, with a news report later confirming they're rethinking their plans and a character commenting it was likely because of Sam. Realistically it isn't on Sam to come up with the answers... but the show seems to think that there were answers in that speech.
I just saw it as Captain America holding them to an ideal they're supposed to represent. It's unrealistic in a show mostly trying to be realistic, but if I can swallow a man flying about and throwing a shield with perfect accuracy then politicians actually doing their jobs isn't that far-fetched.
And maybe perhaps people shouldn't try to burn everything down because The Government is dealing with 2 unimaginable events in the course of 5 years.
Have you seen politicians in real life? I would believe Thanos showing up in real life before I believe that Congress is actually going to (CORRECTLY) solve a problem.
Avengers aren't really proactive enough for that. We need the Nowvengers: They get it done right away.
My point was, everything feels under developed, whether or not the boat/family plot was cut or another plot line was cut, they need to cut something to give the other stuff the time need to be fully thought out and fleshed out. I really doubt covid would have fixed most of the issues, feels like most of it was them wanting to set up a ton of other marvel movie and shows rather than anything else.
