Do we suppose everything is hunky-dory in Wakanda now, since the ladies can travel the world looking for one bad guy?

There's a huge group of them and zemo, was worth 3 of them.

I liked the series, and falcon being Captain America is comic accurate. I'm excited to see where they take him as Cap in the now announced 4th movie. I hope it isn't overly "woke" but who knows.


I just didn't like the whole Carter arc. There was very little explanation of why she turned heel. Plus, she actually got blipped according to endgame, so how did she become the power broker? They also tied up the loose ends really quickly for such a big organization "flag smashers" and that kinda sucks.

Bucky has to return for cap 4 and make an appearance in BP2. Stan just works well with Mackie. Hopefully they will continue to team up.

I thought everything was off. Lines said too fast with no pauses. Plots rushed where everyone meets at once. Apparently that woman who was introduced to immediately die from tuberculosis was important to the main antagonist. I'm afraid were going to find this series should've been 8 episodes.

Still works fine with good action and acting.
Supposedly, there was an angle about a pandemic & they decided to remove those scenes from the show bc of Covid. So, there was some stuff left out & it made some parts of the show a little disjointed & confusing. Zemo was the best part of the show, IMO.

The effect these new Marvel shows are having on comic book back issue prices is insane. Comics have been my main hobby for almost 40 years and I've never seen anything like it.

The third episode felt weird. I suspect this had something to do with it.

I thought it was a good buddy cop show. When Cap was assassinated in the comic book, I did not follow the story. Marvel teased the hell out of who would take his place. I dropped comics and never learned, just assuming the Punisher would grab the role. The Falcon was never really a popular book, so I doubt I guessed him. I like how they worked it, but still wanted Cap to have the super soldier serum.

I don’t plan to watch Wanda Vision, but still think the Netflix Daredevil is one of the best of these MARVEL series.

Enjoyed it but had a few issues:

1) episode 5 was too slow and episode 6 felt rushed
2) last half of episode 6 got preachy/political fast and felt forced

Look forward to seeing Mackie as Cap and do hope WS joins in upcoming movies. The two are great together.

Overall, liked it but, like others, I thought the last few minutes of Ep 6 was yet one more monologue from Hollywood telling us how awful we are. Too much preaching for my taste. Didn't ruin the series for me but certainly didn't go out with a bang, either.

Really hoping Loki is up to my expectations. Always like the character and it seems like the trailer is right in line with previous movies.

I cringe when they go political it’s just unnecessary either side of the aisle you reside on. i don’t need to be lectured when watching a comic book show about a super soldier.

Sharon Carter kind of has that chubby face of someone that drinks a little too much.

What is Elaine Bene’s role?

I thought it was decent. The ginger as the villain was terrible
