I loved that part. It was just good social commentary.
If all you've ever watched was superhero movies it sure was

Are you saying it was bad social commentary? Can you provide a better example, within the context of a show aimed towards the general audience in a franchise that tends to be a lot more light hearted?

Not at all, that's why I said it was
It's not the most complex take on racial commentary but for people who only watch big summer blockbusters (and now this show because of the movies) this is a great way to get to them
I get that not everyone wants to watch a subtle well made movie that dives into the greater issues of racism, they want to watch action movies, and that's ok

Oh ok, I was under the impression that was sarcastic. Obviously it isn't a deep take on society and in a franchise aimed towards mostly kids it doesn't need to be. If it is enough for kids to ask questions or make people think, I believe that it is accomplishing exactly what it should.

Yeah it was way better with Falcon and Bucky together, loved the buddy cop dynamic.

Anyone else think the main Flag Smasher super soldier looks like a young Maya Rudolph?
Yep

I got a feeling shes not the real baddie though, more misguided.

Yeah, I think the Flag Smashers are more nave than anything, and they're being unwittingly used by a bigger scope villain.

Yeah, WandaVision had more of an ongoing mystery and more weirdness and WTFness, so there was more to talk about and speculate about.

Honestly felt more like a groundwork episode to me. They had to set up a lot of stuff that will hopefully pay off later.

What's the next MCU release (TV or movie) after this? Since this is only six episodes, it'll end in basically late April/early May, then I assume Black Widow is next on the docket on July 9?

Loki starts a couple of weeks after TFATWS I believe.

Yup. It was supposed to be TFATWS, then the making of the week after, then black widow, then the making of, then Loki.

So Walker doesnt have any super soldier juice right?

The video they showed of him practicing shield throwing and catching it effortlessly made me think maybe he did get the serum or maybe the shield really is just magical
