A few problem/questions on re-watch of the movies and the series

Falcon was a counselor: weird that he doesn't seem to help Bucky more deal with obvious PTSD

Also, the Wakandans going after Zemo with such zeal is a bit strange since T'Challa prevented him from getting killed. I get it as they want him to be properly punished but at the end of Civil War, T'Challa clearly went for mercy over vengeance

Also with the super serum and why not to take it: Steve Rogers is rightfully put on a pedestal but shouldn't T'Challa be up there as well. Maybe it's specific to super soldier serum but the idea of power being rightfully used it seems both Cap and Black Panther would be good examples. Or maybe T'Challa doesn't count as he was groomed to be Black Panter since birth?

I am guessing they are saying that Zemo should be in prison. T’Challa didn’t kill Zemo, but obviously had him put in jail.

I ended up rewatching WInter Soldier, Civil War, and then Infinity War because it was so long ago and I feel like I forgot a lot.
I have to say what a great trio of movies: very very well done and it's a bit amazing how much plot got put into Infinity War. They also used the relatively subpar Age of Ultron to set them up.

Anyways Gamora getting killedby Thanos is pretty damn dark on rewatch. I will not let go of my destiny and then throws someone who looks like a child next to him over a cliff.

Pretty much.

One wonders how they will deal with T'Challa moving forward.

Perhaps this is indicative in a regime change?

They recently said they won't feature Chadwick posthumously so their needs to be some clever writing to get to the new black panther

 

[Jack Brickman]

Definitely didn't expect Julia Louis-Dreyfus to show up in the MCU.

 

[SalvadoranCavsfan]

I like it but I'm annoyed by the unnecessary swearing. My kids have watched the entire MCU and there is more swearing in ep2 of this than the rest combined. Isn't needed IMHO

 

[bigfoot5415]

Not gonna lie. When Cap says "let's go get that son of a bitch" I get goosebumps everytime.

Episode 5 got me psyched for the finale. Hoping we get to see Torres as Falcon at some point.

There is so much to address in the finale
-whose the power broker (I have a guess but won't say anything)
-ending the flag smashers
-what to do with Julia Louis-dreyfus (who is she)
- Sharon Carter
- setting up for what's next

Guesses
- power broker is not Sharon Carter
- JLD is setting up a Thunderbolts series with US Agent (Walker), Zemo, and some other less than reputable characters (Ghost?).

 

[Jack Brickman]

I have to think that Sharon is the Power Broker, because how can you not give your main villain even a minute of screen time until the final episode?

Agreed on JLD. She'll likely be running the Thunderbolts. Apparently she was supposed to make her MCU debut in Black Widow, but that got pushed back so far that this show ended up airing first. So maybe the first Thunderbolts will be composed of Zemo, US Agent, Taskmaster, and a few others? Vulture seems like an obvious candidate, but I'm not sure if Marvel is allowed to use him in other stuff without Sony's permission, and we know he shows up in the upcoming Morbius movie that is all Sony.

Batroc is another possibility, assuming he survives the final episode of this show. Are there any other villains that are still alive that aren't Spider-Man baddies?

 

[Scrote Squad]

Definitely didn't expect Julia Louis-Dreyfus to show up in the MCU.

My 'new Cap' = Jonah comparison really slapped me in the face when she showed up.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

I'm loving the series so far. I'm enjoying it more than Wandavision. It's rooted in reality and continues the tradition of the first Cap movies where they took characters I didn't give a shit about and fleshed them out into the most compelling personalities in the MCU.

I'm surprised with how well Disney's handled topics that I would've expected them to avoid or ignore. Kudos to them on this series so far.

Elaine Benes as a Marvel villain was not on my bingo card
