That’s Hollywood for you. All sticking to this:

I like the 3 act structure, but I think the Avengers movies are too full of characters to follow it properly. It's more like:

character wisecracks + asses kicked = (popularity × runtime) ÷ total no. of characters

I rewatched Age of Ultron off the back off this series, it was much better than I remember. Love that scene of them trying to lift the hammer. It twitches for Steve and he definitely pretends not to be able to lift it.

Age of ultra is a Eton mess of a movie. Bloated and will full of tasty bits but really lacking finesse. It works as a part 2 of the avenger series but as a movie in its own right, not the best. Found it worked better watched in parts.

Heh thats how I watched it. Half an hour here and there over the course of a week.

Age of Ultron was too long and very badly paced. It feels like it finishes, and then goes on for another half hour.

Hence the movie title.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier today, whoop whoop!

Helstorm? Not heard of that must have a look. Im quite pumped for F&WS too. Which is surprising, Falcon being a bit of a nothing for me in the movies.

So, Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 1.

Thought it was a perfectly cromulent start. Curious as to who the actor was at the end. I can't decide whether this or WandaVision would have made the best first Marvel Studios show - this is very much what you'd expect an MCU TV show to be, almost to a fault, whereas WandaVision, while a bit wonky and perhaps too expectation-defying for its own good, at least kinda suggested these shows have the potential to be fairly creatively interesting.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the young guy or, like, any of the other new characters for that matter.

It'll be interesting to see how episode 2 follows up the end of this one.

This is only six episodes in total. Glad they started with wandavision rather than this so far.

I’m with Cosmic. Watched it with my oldest son, and enjoyed it too.

They’ve definitely been playing around with ‘who becomes next cap’ between Falcon and Bucky.
I think it could be either, but I’d like to see Falcon as cap personally. And Bucky straight up as Bucky, caps sidekick.
With the little mask and everything

Dont misunderstand me it was a enjoyable episode. I just get why they went with Wandavision first. Abit more different than what we are used to with Marvel. Falcon and Winter is more 'normal' marvel so it made sense to go with Wandavision, to me anyway.

Watched F&WS last night. Was fairly meh on it until the final scene, I didn’t really give a toss about Falcon at all, Winter Soldier was a bit more interesting of a character, but his storyline wasn’t hugely grabbing me either. Still, that final reveal made sure I’ll tune in next week.

Thought the Falcon program was dull as hell apart from the action bits. The sort of bland, uninspired, back story building that plagued the Netflix marvel shows. It'll definitely pick up.

Solid enough start I thought. I actually thought they made the Falcon fight stuff far better than in the films. The close combat stuff with the wings was excellent. 

Happy to see where this goes.
