Big time Kurt during that scene especially the eyes and the voice as well.

Big time.

He?s much better than Scott Eastwood!

Wonder if he will be in the The Thing remake

I doubt it. He did an interview the other day where he was asked if he'd ever strap on the eyepatch and play Snake, to which he effectively said **** no, that's Dad's role and he'd commit career suicide by even trying to emulate that. So with that, I presume all his Dad's roles aren't something he'd take on.

Smart I wouldn’t want to see Scott Eastwood play Dirty Harry or Man with no Name but I guess they could assist as a stand in if de-aging is being used.

Then again Carrie Fisher’s daughter being used for Leia’s flashback in TROS looked worse than creepy cgi Leia from RO lol

I think that's the point people are failing to grasp. Isaiah was A) wronged in a manner that parallels real world history and B) punished for doing something that Steve was lauded for. We create an inherently polarized character by this, who has the right to think the way he does. But by having Sam reject the notion of extremes, he's creating a character capable of learning from the past to reject implicit bias which surrounds both sides of the sociopolitical discussion implied by that story arc. If this was so woke as some desire to interpret it as, Sam would have blindly agreed with Isaiah. But the point is that you can learn from extremes and that even with justification, your conclusions or your blame are not always the right ones.

As far as Walker goes, it would seem that someone as decorated as he is would very much be a public figure already. I don't think it's a stretch that he'd be the one to be picked. Now the court ruling...harsh in reality sure, I agree. BUT, as far as moving into a more fictional world/narrative, you need something to A) separate him completely from the Captain America mantle and B) push him over the edge and join whatever team is being assembled by being so isolated. The point is for us to feel sympathy for him, despite his actions. And Wyatt delivers on that. I saw a lot of Kurt in him when he tried to defend himself in court. That was well done.

Fantastic post.

Oh one more thing...

The shield effects were freaking amazing!

 

[Wor-Gar]

What a snooze episode. One more to go...I guess we finally get to the train sequence. This show is not going to end well. Meaning not with a bang, but with a whimper and a message.

They rushed the entire damn Walker arc so we could have 40 minutes of white guilt and boat building. Teenage Flagsmashers continue to be the worst superhero villains ever. Sam trades hits with JOHN WALKER and walks away without a scratch?

Just went back and read this. Yes! This whole Marvel-Lesson is so tired. I watch reality every day on the news, I don't need to see it again in poor allegorical form in my escapism. I don't even mind the blatant parallels with Trump America vs BLM America, but at least add some bloody fighting, excellent set-pieces and use your damn villains to purpose! Zemo gets escorted softly away to the next show? WHAT!? Introducing the Yada Lady as a super villain? WHAT!!? All done to make more time for Sam to fix that boat. You know what, I really want someone to sink that stupid symbol and smack his whiny sister so she'll stop giving Sam guilt-trips and then decide not to sell.

Again, that entire episode was probably the worst episode of all the MCU I have seen so far. OK, no, that is still the circus episode in Wanda... but its close.

Next episode Sam’s sister gets a job at the Suez Canal unblocking stuck ships.

After Episode 5, I am really worried about what the finale will bring. This whole show should've been about Zemo, not some random whiny goons. Everyone wanting to see more of the Zemo dance just proves the audience wants, no, NEEDS MORE ZEMO!

I agree but I think they were trying to show more of the blip fallout and I don’t know if Zemo could do that being that he was incarcerated.

What's the next MCU Disney+ series, Loki? I'm so done with the MCU... especially now that its the Marvel Television Universe.

Disney-

Well, yeah, more or less; worst thing I've seen in the MCU - that trophy, for me, tended to get handed to cringefest NatBruce, Shuri insulting Bruce Banner, the IW girlpower BS, and heck, even EG having a Tony/Dad love fest which for me, effectively negated several movies' worth of a whole arc of Tony's fractured father relationship and even Bucky offing Tony's parents, because it was all A-OK anyway....

And now, *&&^% like having Bucky be the symbolic spokesperson for white insensitivity, which IMO was pretty &^%$. Crossed a line into complete tastelessness, as this is a POW who was tortured, mutilated, and so messed up he was gonna off his best childhood friend. The whole thing with Isaiah seemed to suggest that Bucky, being white, was taken care of (new arm) while Isaiah was blotted out of existence.

But so was Bucky; so that's *&^%. A guy depicted as so out of it in TWS, he calmly accepts a mouth guard to get the *&^% shocked out of him. Like, u wanna make a point about inequitable health care, pick another way. They could have said Isaiah's wife died 'coz she couldn't afford expensive medication, or something, because her survivor benefits were a cheat or denied (Walker being stripped of his benefits BTW is a big deal and would affect his family, so it was good that got mentioned tho)

Meanwhile, in theory, so OK, did Isaiah's blood get used by the U.S. to make serum, so Bucky kills Tony's parents to get the serum, so effectively Isaiah got revenge against the machine by taking out the great Howard Stark, or what?

What a snooze episode. One more to go...I guess we finally get to the train sequence. This show is not going to end well. Meaning not with a bang, but with a whimper and a message.

Afraid of that. I'd like to think Marvel knows better; that while the comics have always reflected social issues, the MCU is about entertainment and escapism. My bro argues this episode was putting the pieces on the board for a big finale.

Yeah, I get that, but there was a lot of drag in this episode (great photography of coastal Louisiana tho).

The inexplicable amount of time hanging out and fixing the boat - what, was this so Bucky could get another moment of calm he hadn't had since Wakanda? Male bonding? LOL it bugs me when that much time is spent on anything and it seems to be pointless, while screen time is ticking away. They could have had a least a fun bar fight break out in New Orleans, or something.

Anyway, so far, IMO this series has so much good; it had the capacity to be great, but like the %$# boat is getting &^%$ by wokeness and some PONDEROUS editing.
D@mmit. Guess I gotta wait for someone's supercut that tightens things up. Heck, I even got robbed of my favorite MCU character heading back to Wakanda and maybe doing the White Wolf thing, since apparently Bucky is not welcome there for a while. It's too bad; I'd have liked to see the scene-stealing M'baku interact with Bucky.

The never-ending boat sequence tells you what the budget is on this thing. 6 episodes. Lot o' boat.

This whole show could have been a two-part 2-hour feature on Disney+... and you'd still have too much boat.

It tells ME that someone couldn't think of anything better to do - for chrissake they could've had Sam drag Bucky into New Orleans for some fun. Beignets. Introduce Bucky to crawfish which could've led to some comments about what Bucky ate or didn't eat on a mission and then to a bar fight and girls throwing Mardi Gras beads.
There' could've been a scratched wooden table to freak out the Wolverine fans.

Some kinda light moment, which this episode desperately needed - thought this was gonna be kind've a buddy road trip movie?

Guess filming on location in New Orleans is too expensive.

I'd rather just motor boat with my face

To me, the finale ends with

Spoiler

Isaiah to Wakanda, Zemo scheming 10 seconds worth at the very end, Curlysmasher to get away/let go while her friends get murdered by Walker, Falcon is new Cap and Bucky with Sam's sister. Oh and the obvious pandering of why Sam can be Cap, so eyes can roll again. And Walker to get another call from Yada Yada, might be in the Raft with Zemo at the time too.

deluxe 1/6 Paul & Darlene Fishing Boat with replacement engine and Louisiana Bayou dock backdrop!

I know a couple guys on here that would buy it. Sadly.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Walker is the best character in the show. Sorry to say it but when he's not the focus, I get bored.
