Watched the Assembled episode and I am loving these features. Hearing how actors contextualize their roles is always welcome and adds to the depth of the MCU. These people are bringing so much of themselves into their roles that you start to get more from the characters when you learn about the actors.
Also I have a thought that's tricky to explain but maybe I can.
I am left with a sense of optimism that is currently... elusive maybe? Just, in most media I see, people are so busy scolding and fearmongering about covid and race. I think there's some epiphany in that they can break through, and a show in 2021 has allowed itself on that meta level to have a patriotic black man. And Isaiah is allowed to be celebrated with his part of the exhibit.
I think most media coming out now is still stuck in the first phase: "no self respecting black man would carry that shield". I wonder how they handle that moving forward.
Tend to agree which I think is why several of us commented early on that this particular series was handling the race issue well in that it's been fairly balanced at least compared to a lot of what we've seen lately. Frankly, much of the racial stuff in the media and being pushed via policy is flat out revenge porn.Decay said:

I like to think that most people just want America to be a better place and do love the country, regardless of what the media and politicians say. Probably naive of me, but oh well. My favorite part about there being a Captain America is how patriotic the idea is, and what Steve and his successors stand for.

the internet and media have made it easy for people not to have civil discourse about those ideas.

I like your opinion, except it sucks. So let me do the opinion, and that way, it might be really good.

Also, give me a ****ing 10 episode Zemo series.
For a villain who was so forgettable that I actually couldn't remember what he looked like, if they made a series with him and his butler going all Batman on bad guys around the world, you could inject it directly into my veins.
I've probably beaten this horse to death already, but the streaming shows are much more enjoyable if you completely ignore all the hype sites with theirQuote:
And I don't need mephisto to show up. The twist we all saw coming is fine. This isn't lost, it's a comic book show. And as my kid pointed out, it seems that all the material for shows is going to heavily draw on good runs from the comics. So we probably shouldn't expect twists or cameos beyond that.
I've stopped watching screenrant. Dude is almost always 100% wrong when he makes a prediction.Harry Lime said:I've probably beaten this horse to death already, but the streaming shows are much more enjoyable if you completely ignore all the hype sites with theirQuote:

It probably took one or two nerds bringing up Mephisto for that to be the surefire go-to theory on Wandavision that countless people just repeated and recycled all over the webs.
I'm shameless about reading spoilers or theories for Star Wars movies when they're months or years away, but for a week to week show, there's just nothing added by reading that stuff.

Or maybe an entire episode where they're just waiting for a table at a Chinese restaurant.

I've always wanted that episode that takes place over 20 hours as we watch our heroes chilling on a plane while they fly across the world.
Didn't Sam tell the banker he was a contractor for the government? Or did I make that up?Harry Lime said:
Hopefully enough time has passed now for me to ask something that was likely discussed much earlier in the thread:
Sam tells John Walker that he and Bucky don't want to work together with him because they're on the outside and can do things their own way, or something to that effect.
If they're "on the outside" doing their own thing, how exactly are they arranging transport all over the world on a moment's notice? How does Joaquin Torres get away with helping Sam so much?
I watch them for the recaps too and to get more explanation of the characters in the episodes, who they are in the comics vs potentially this show etc. The theories and such do not spoil anything for me and I take those with a grain of salt. I watch these shows to help me understand some of the implications of things happening episode to episode. But I do love to know deeper contexts like how the character fits into this show and the comics to get a better idea of who they are. Since I used to read comics a lot, it's important to me personally to understand how a character fit into a comic series over time and how that changed over time and how that might compare to what they are doing in the MCU.amercer said:
I still enjoy the ScreenCrush guy. I only watch the recap videos though. Those are 90% Easter eggs and 10% theory. He's got other videos, but I haven't enjoyed the ones that are all predictions.
