Least I know better now than to stay up uber late ("it's gonna be SO AWESOME!!!!") and then eat *&&^% AND drag thru the day on no sleep.
Yeah, Wanda being smaller than Chavez in the artwork was an immediate "WTF?" for me.
I can definitely casually watch something and not collect it, or even want to collect it at all. Where I draw the line at not watching it though is if I feel it's going to ruin a favorite, or negatively impact previous beloved characters and stories. That's why I spoiled myself on Falcon & Winter Soldier and why I want to spoil myself on Loki. Mediocrity or an annoying character is one thing, actively damaging/destroying what came before is my line.
If they manage to ruin Loki, who really started my love for the MCU in first place (sorry, Tony, not sorry
I think the towel might not just be thrown, it'll be set on fire until there's nothing left.
Yeah, it's tough bleaching my brain after TFWS - between some actual good stuff (Zemo and Walker) - and the fact that they might as well have taken Sebastian Stan, and interposed shots of "a day in the life of" with Falcon looking full of angst.
Episode 1: Falcon sez fu small town hick banker, calls Pepper Potts. Cut to Bucky flexing metal arm in NY - and fangirl bakery employee hands him a dozen free chocolate croissants. Back to Falcon who sends sister and nephews on world cruise with Stark money, buys hotel in New Orleans, and staffs with undocumented workers who sing "We're in the Money" in Spanish and Vietnamese. Cut back to Bucky sitting on therapist couch sharing croissants while they discuss Bucky becoming the new Equalizer, since the more people he takes out, the more popular he is. "Well, with some folks, it may be ILLEGAL but not IMMORAL" explains the therapist, confusing Bucky even more than the concept of time travel.
Bonus scene: Bucky visits Doctor Strange who does some sparkly thing with the Time Stone, and brings back the Asian guy Bucky feels guilty about and Bucky's long hair and an entire arsenal of weapons. "Look, the ratings are gonna sink unless u ditch the metrosexual act - it's not like folks are gonna watch for &^%$ speeches, and Zemo dancing can't carry the whole series" sez Strange.
I have no faith in Marvel now after seeing WandaVision and the heavy handed TFATWS. I expect full blown SJW garbage in Phase 4.
I liked WandaVision - some weak stuff but interesting. TFATWS wish I had just caught bits and pieces of on YT. So. Much. Cringe.
