I wonder if there is any correlation between liking these new series and how avid a fan someone is?
I enjoy the MCU films but wouldn't call myself an avid fan; I hated WandaVision but avid fans seemed to love it, and I like Falcon and the Winter Soldier but avid fans seem to hate it.
Disney has a thin line to walk if they want to keep hold of the hardened fans but also hold onto and draw in new paying customers.
It is interesting that the only one of the two main characters that lacks any super powers at all gets the shield. No-one without super strength could throw that shield the way Steve did and knock people over with it. Wouldn't be possible.Hard to believe that the cold open is on a television show. Pretty epic stuff. And was a clever way of showing that Sam Wilson is a great falcon but a pretty useless Cap. Getting his arse kicked by a guy that the proper Cap took to pieces easily. Hopefully Bucky ends up with the shield.
I even said to the wife, that if I was Sam I would not go to the bank (where they happen to be shoehorning in an unnecessary (IMO) statement on race. I mean Sam is black but is at the top of his particular ladder being a global celebrity for goodness sake), I would simply politely ask Pepper for the necessary loan.Well they asked the question - it appears Stark was bankrolling the Avengers - now he is dead they may need Pepper Potts to step in - george
He is also a child who is at school and supported by his aunt. I bet if the sh*t hit the fan there would be mucho financial support if required.Spiderman is also an avenger/ superhero, and he always has money issues.
Spot on.This second episode was terrible. And kind of threw away established constructs that had been built. Made no sense how a regular guy can do that with the shield. And what happened to the Captain America level badass winter soldier of Cap 2 and Civil War. And that police stop scene was comical. The whole episode felt very amateurish.
It is supposed to be linking to three future movies is it not?I like the shifting allegiances and
Sharon looks a seriously dodgy to me after her last conversation
Wakanda Forever
So far this is turning out much better than I even hoped it could be.
Sorry what is? If you mean the show then yes, all the shows are "meant" to have links to future moviesIt is supposed to be linking to three future movies is it not?
Sorry, I was referring to the second part, where you mentioned a certain country. No doubt in my mind that plot point will lead into the next movie from that part of the world.Sorry what is? If you mean the show then yes, all the shows are "meant" to have links to future movies![]()

Sam WAS at Tony's funeral (only a select few in attendance) and so must have some kind of personal contact with the head of Stark Industries who he works for as an actual Avenger, surely?
Why? If it was done officially and through proper procedure.asking your dead mates grieving wife for a loan would be absolutely class-less in my opinion affordable or not.
That said, if he's doing very specific work for the government in a contractor capacity, esp given his avenger status and his unique skill set you'd think his rates would be higher than "i'll do it for my country"....

Many companies offer loans to their employees at favourable rates and they would know he is good for it. pepper could vouch for him is sort of what I was saying.
But the thing is, didn't he offer to sort it out for his sister, but she refused through pride or whatever and so he offered to go to the bank with her so they could do it of her own back.
What I still don't quite get, is why any bank would, regardless of the credit score, not want to help an Avenger and get all the positive publicity from doing so even if the loan was never repaid. Which would be unlikely given who he is, what he does and has done, who he works for and who he has ties with.
That’s another way of saying ‘it’s bad writing.’i think probably ultimately its better to try and not think about it too much![]()

Afraid I'll always risk being on the 'taking it too seriously' side of the divide! I don't think the bank storyline being lame ruins the show but I see it as a symptom of the writing being a mixed bag in general. As long as the stronger elements win out the small stuff gets a pass.yeah maybe - but i just dont take it that seriously anyway - its built off the back of comics and within every bit of fiction there are bits you could pull apart with regards to real life... Just is what it is... im enjoying this as a bit of fun in the marvel world - the bank stuff in ep1 was naff but im not gonna let it stop me enjoying the rest.
Yes me too. I wonder if it'll turn out there's an extraI was surprised whenLooks like Captain Douche bag razors legged it.Zemo did not take a vial of the super solder him self rather threw the one in his hand down and smashed it and went about destroying the others.![]()
It’s been shoehorned in because it suits the wider plot. Allowing Sam to engage with Karli on a more personal level by relating his family‘s situation. But it is an unrealistic scenario, within the MCU reality.What I still don't quite get, is why any bank would, regardless of the credit score, not want to help an Avenger and get all the positive publicity from doing so even if the loan was never repaid.

Think this all being overthought after all no one thinks this should be in real james bond films to make things realistic to our worldIt’s been shoehorned in because it suits the wider plot.
