I ain’t putting on no wings fool.

Shouldn’t have milked it.

I'm confused about her plan too. Was she one of the blipped and is now campaigning for the rights of the blipped? Or is it the other way round. She mentioned people being kicked out of homes. Is it that the blipped returned and all went back to the homes, thus displacing all the people that had moved it post-blip?

It’s stoopid. I’m not even sure what the blip is. There was ‘the snap’ where 50% of people disappeared and ‘the blip’ where everyone came back. Or is the whole thing now the blip?
Countries welcomed immigrants in the 5 year period but now they’re back, everyone’s back to the same old nationalist protection stuff. It’s not how that would play out irl. Any by irl I mean what would really happen if a space alien used a magic glove to kill half the planet and they were brought back years later by a giant green monster wearing a different magic glove assembled from time travelling between alternate realities.

Agree that the actress playing the leader of the flag smashers is poorly cast but I'm confused why some of you are confused by her motives (although not by her plan - that's very much in the "step 1 - get serum, step 2 ??, step 3 - profit!")

It's pretty clear that some of what Thanos expected to happen kinda did (and for clarity, I read it that the snap is the moment people disappear, the blip is the period from the snap to the return)

So with half the population gone, life still had to go on. Jobs needed to be filled, services needed to be run and that meant a lot of countries were suddenly open for economic migration as they had roles that needing doing and they needed to build back their customer bases. But than the blip ends and everyone comes back so those who were there pre-snap want to go back to the way things were and those that got a boost in quality of life from the snap dont want to give up their gains of the last 5 years.

I think it's a great idea but maybe not ideal for a show centered on action and spies and super heroes. As a political drama it could have been quite interesting.

As a series I'm intrigued from week to week but because it's dealing with an interesting non-super hero concept it invites you to think a little - and sadly that's where the rest of the situation falls down. Not sure if it's the quality of writing staff or just an idea that feels too big for the show it's been assigned but it feels a bit all over the place.

It might have been better if it just focused on the concept of what happens when the new captain America is well intentioned but lacks the pure character that the original has. By far the best bit of the show for me is Walker both in terms of idea and the actor playing it. There's a certain parallel with the son of kurt Russell trying to step into those boots in a way, much like the story of the new cap.

Side note - completely think Andys idea would work for me. Thing is, they tried it a bit with agents of shield season 1 but they found better critical success when they went with season long arcs. I think the days of the one off episode show is sadly behind us, but it would be a great way to enhance the MCU.

I had no idea he was Kurt's son. That's a nice parallel of filling big boots for sure.

@RedDave2 Nah her motives are explained. 
That new agency Cap works for, if they are hoarding supplies etc and she is acting as Robin Hood then fine. Makes sense. But her plan is just an enigma. Why will opening the borders help anyone?



Also Wandavision and now this seem less like series and more just busy work, setting things up for the next round of movies.

Well ep 5 is a doozy

Raaaaaaage. Nice opening.

Lovely flirting scene and gen lolz with Bucky and Falcons sister

Nice set up for walkers future and old black cap.

Plus powerbroker revealed

Oh and a new uniform....... end credits scene too

Yup post credits. Ties uo a nice 3 or 4 way next week

But it’s my parents legacy.

Why did they need a loan to do something it only took them a day to sort out themselves? If anything, the bank was too polite.

I liked that bit. And yeah they’re way more direct about race than I thought they would be.

I don’t know if I could recommend this to anyone but it’s just about working ok for me. The character stuff between Sam and Bucky is as subtle as a bus but that’s fine.

They really need to give Sam a shot of the serum. It looks like they’re going to make him go full Cap on the strength of one training montage.

Wyatt Russell deserves praise for his rage Cap.

Shame they didn’t give him enough time to develop the character more.

Im still failing to see the point of Zemo in all this, unless there’s a teist. Zemo could literally have been any token iffy rich bloke
