This series had a lot of problems. Not only was it nowhere near as good as Wandavision, there were just so many issues with it that I don't come off the final episode feeling rewarded for watching it.

All right, just finished the finale. Solid show. The chemistry between Sam and Bucky was really good, and that was the selling point all along for me. Karli was bad. Should've just replaced her with Big Boss.
I'm glad they While the main thrust of the show was Sam proving to himself that he could carry the mantle of Captain America, Bucky's redemption arc was the strongest part of the show to me. I really appreciated --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

this episode was ok i guess.
man, they literally turned sam into jesus >_> i thought the first half was stronger than the second. i appreciated that they tried to solve all of the plot points of the show in the second half but it felt rather rushed. having another episode wouldn't have hurt, i suppose. as for the show in general... meh. very tonally inconsistent. it kept switching back and forth between lighthearted buddy comedy and super serious drama. the main problem is that the two lead characters are not good. i just don't like sam. bucky's better but he's kind of one-note. i didn't think there was enough to his character to carry an entire show. when a supporting character --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...

Haha, during Sam's big speech, my partner just said "if this was at all realistic the senator would just say 'no comment' and walk away".
Sam's new suit was cool. Before watching I wondered if the ending would say something like "Sam will return in Captain America: ______" and hey it almost happened that way. I wonder how long Cap 4 has been in development. Surely this was always the plan and they didn't just wait to see what fan reaction to this show was. --- Change is weird. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My biggest disappointment is, once again, wanting something to happen that didn't.
But other than that, solid show. Liked WandaVision better overall but this was great.

I've never really liked Bucky and Sam has usually just been "there" for me. But this ended up being okay on the backs of the more interesting secondary characters.
I'd have much rather watched a series on Isaiah wrecking shop and ripping Bucky's arm off tbqhhhh --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thought the show was fine. Worth watching but Wandavision is better imo.
The villians were super weak throughout the entire show, wish they did more with the Power Broker and at least made the Flagsmashers feel a bit more significant. Sam's speech at the end was a bit forced but I did really like the ending with Isaiah. New suit looks kinda meh imo, not a huge fan of suits that have too much white in them. --- ...

I think the point is that the name and the person Isaiah Walker are honoured, but it is not linked to Isaiah Walker (as in, I think it's implied he changed his name and has a different identity, given the nurse taking care of him had him declared dead). --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ...

Yeah the show really failed to intrigue me the same way WandaVision did.
I think most of my issues have been pointed out already by everyone else, but does anyone else feel like Sam and Bucky got sidelined at around the midway point? I thought their stories started off great and had solid resolutions, but it really felt like they got pushed to the background to focus on Zemo, Walker and Karli. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I had the same thought initially about the last title card, but after thinking a bit more I think it makes sense to not do the white Wolf thing.
His arc wasnt about taking on this other identity like Sams was, it was about coming to terms with / atoning for his Winter Soldier identity. Theres no moment in the finale of Bucky embracing the name White Wolf, but there is the moment of him admitting to the old Asian guy that hes Winter Soldier. --- For your Azuarc .

Yeah ill never understand anyone who prefers IM3 over 2 I feel the same way in reverse. I get that Justin Hammer might be some peoples' cup of tea, but nothing else about the movie is redeemable. Whiplash isn't done particularly well. It was a lackluster debut for Black Widow. The whole plotline of him having Palladium poisoning/being an alcoholic is not pulled off. It's not a real conflict - it's just an obstacle. It feels very poorly put together, forced, and then is just 'resolved'. The only reason the flip-of-a-switch resolution doesn't bother me too much is because the film does get better when they stop wasting time trying to create drama in an ineffective manner. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic ...

Random thought but it kind of sums up why Karli falls on deaf ears for me. When she's on the phone with Bucky, she's like, "I'm fighting for something bigger than myself. You can't possibly imagine what that's like, can you?"

As far as the shield's corruption is concerned, I assume that for the majority of the world they don't see the Avengers the same way we do. Captain America is probably seen as a representation of America not humanity.

He fought Hydra in Cap 2, an evil organization that had infiltrated the US government. He fought in spite of the Sokovia accords in Cap 3, which is/was a UN initiative. Fighting against tyranny from within your own government and telling the UN to fuck off, why it doesn't get more American than that.
