I like falcon but it's pretty generic. It seems like they were going for a Winter Soldier/Bourne crossover but didn't have the writing or directing chops to pull it off.

Great episode (5), love the bro-chemistry between Sam and Bucky and Wyatt does a great acting job.

The scene with Bradley and Sam was fantastic and heavy.

Yup, very good episode. Great action at the start, lots of impressive character work and good acting performances.

I loved this episode. So much catharsis. I wonder what his outfit is going to be! And of course it had a training and male bonding montage

Indeed awesome episode!

Also that endcredit scene made me cringe so bad!
I loved the reference to the first Iron Man. Instead of a hammer building something great, that sound is completely perverted and sounded creepy as hell. Amazing audio design work.

Yeah it was great but I cringed so hard at the character, so try hard wannabe captain America, think its super interesting and sad at the same time

I'm hyped! I hope the cinemas are open when it comes.
It looks great! I don't usually go to the cinema for non-Avengers MCU films so I hope the theatrical window is much shorter than it used to be. I don't much enjoy the theater experience anymore.

For me I can pretty much only enjoy a movie in the cinema, when I'm home I can't concentrate on a movie, I can't resist being on my phone all the time. Except when I watch with someone then it is easier. But in the cinema I have no choice but to enjoy the movie.:D

Whaaat it was only six episodes! Really could have used a few more, Falcon becoming Captain just went too fast. But still great episode.
Yeah it should have been longer, I had a great time with the show and I wanted more. I get the feeling that Marvel Studios listened to the criticism that Netflix Marvel shows got for being too long (I believe each had 13 hour-long episodes) and kinda went too far in the opposite direction. Both TFATWS and Wandavision were about six hours in total, credits included, while I believe they would be much more satisfying with eight total hours of runtime.

That said, both of these shows were made during the pandemic and both suffered from production shutdowns, delays and cut plotlines due to COVID so maybe that's really all the content they had time to finish before launch. Hopefully later MCU series will be meatier as I loved both of them so far.

I really liked that Walker redemption. Other than that, a good finale but really... it feels like a 7/10 sort of series overall. The edit was messy and the action sequences got quite confused. I think Isaiah stole every scene he was in though, and while a lot of that series were on the nose, especially the way governments got a stern talking-to by Sam, his segments weren't. The ending at the museum was truly touching.

Marvel Studios celebrates the return to the movies with an awesome trailer:


The second half of the year is going to be absolutely crazy, four movies and multiple TV series! God damn it's the best time to be a Marvel fan.

A very different type of teaser than most of Marvel's, it almost feels like this movie is the 2001 A Space Odyssey to Guardians of the Galaxy's Star Wars. I wonder if that tone will persist for the movie itself. I am very intrigued but also very confused because the teaser gave very little information.

Just watched Loki and holy shit it was amazing! If it keeps up Marvel TV just keeps getting better and better:
Yep, just watched it twice and holy hell, I am impressed. The look, the music, the plot, the writing, the acting, everything worked for me.

Loki is the single best thing Marvel has put out since Endgame to me. And that was before the final twist

Agreed fully on the writing. And the art direction, of course.

Yeah the show's pace is much faster than Wandavision or TFATWS. So far it's, well, perfect, I can't find a single thing to complain about. Story, characters, performances, visuals, direction, music, all are excellent. Marvel Studios have really outdone themselves with this show.

I just realised something that I totally forgot and when I thought about it it felt like a revelation haha! It’s the hulk that brings everyone back from being dusted, iron man just wiped out the baddies.

Yep. It is a pretty big moment for Banner as he says "it's like I was made for this". I like to think that finding purpose for the Hulk helped Banner find some peace of mind after all this time of being haunted by him.

Well, that was the kill the dog episode. I have to say, so far my preference goes 1 > 4 > 3 > 2. I saw a few twists coming, but not Loki being backstabbed. Thank Marvel for creating that post-credit scene expectation.
