Wandavision was much better. FaWS had too much going on and many of the components were bad.

The Flag Smashers were atrocious, and it's not like they had a lot to live up to. A group of randoms with Captain America powers is already fairly non threatening to begin with by MCU standards, it's completely unbelievable that they're a threat to Bucky and Sam, especially when they can be killed by anybody with a pistol. Their goals, connection to the Power Broker, and the exact nature of their plight are left a bit too open ended to be understood.

But the real issue is the fact that Sam is meant to feel such a deep connection to their leader, to the point that he is willing to let her kill him, and I have absolutely no idea as to why. How are they different from the hundred other groups Sam has fought against?

The Power Broker was another huge misstep. I just want to point out that when the Power Broker finally does reveal themselves, they do so at a time that's incredibly compromising for them. None of their actions make sense for a supposed criminal mastermind.

It's shit that Batroc exists in the MCU and is so bland and forgettable when his comic counterpart is anything but.

Onto the good parts:

Sam and Bucky were great, aside from the relationship between Sam and the Flag Smashers. Sam's fighting style, incorporating his jetpack, wings, and shield, was also really fun and I hope to see more of it in the films.

John Walker was great but he felt rushed. Hope to see more of him going forward.

Zemo was really great, even if he's a total retcon. Also him having the mask on for 15 seconds was stupid.

The subplot with Isaiah was great.

Overall the show is very inconsistent in quality, which feels uncharacteristic of Marvel Studios. I suspect the rumours of plot rewrites and cut content are true, because otherwise it doesn't make sense.
