To be fair, the show does hit some humorous beats. The Dora Milaje fight in Zemo's apartment is pretty hilarious. 'We should do something.' 'Looking strong, John!'

Heartofice Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It’s weird, I can tell that there are humorous moments contained within the show where I am supposed to laugh or smile, yet none of it has landed at all. I’m not sure why. Even Zemo dancing has no effect on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 As soon as Zemo came on screen, I pointed out to my friend how much the guy looks like Tobey Maguire from some angles. Now, whenever I year that ridiculous gruff accent, it's just Tobey-as-Peter Parker, bringing his squeaky voice down 2 octaves and adding the accent. I don't mind, as it's made all his dialogue pretty hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 A sense of humour is a very subjective and invididual thing, of course. But if you didn't at John Walker getting smacked so hard he bounced off that spear, I fear there's no hope for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Right, two episodes left, who will wield the Shield by the end of this series? The trailer & teaser scenes we've yet to see in-episode suggest we may get a shared custody arrangement between Sam and Bucky. The loss of Red Wing was no accident - need to make room for the Shield see. If they're not ready to decide then it would be cool if they recover if from John Walker and then leave it with Isaiah for safe keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a symbol of what steve represents. taking the shield doesn t transform the user into a new steve. It should be put in a museum to inspire people to be the better version of themselves.

RumHam Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 "...and even if they did, no self respecting black man would ever want to be." Damn. That was something. Like the USS Indianapolis speech in Jaws it immediately elevated the whole production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I like the fact they noted there are different versions of the serum, which is why some people seem stronger than others (Walker doesn't seem to be as strong as Steve, but still stronger than normal humans). I'm also assuming that's why the serum grants some people (Steve) a longer lifespan and others seem to be aging normally. Also, great to see that actress in the MCU. Apparently they had to keep that secret for a long time. Spoiler for an upcoming movie: Spoiler They had to confirm she's in Black Widow as well.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I liked that episode. I liked that they slowed down and tried to deal with some of the questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Probably the best episode since the opener. Totally agree with the above comments - this show is at its best IMO when it's actually taking the time to explore the characters and world, not finding some pretext for more generic superhero fights.

sifth Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Yea, this was probably my favorite episode since the first one. I really do like it when this show explores who Sam and Bucky are as people, more than when they're doing hero stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Loved it. After the opening action scene, which was expectedly great, the slow idle while revisiting some loose threads was more than welcome. Can't wait for next week. Regarding the credits scene... Spoiler Damn, whatever material that's fashioned out of, not being vibranium, its going to kill whoever it gets slung at and not bounce back.

Same. The physics of the shield during that training montage just baffle me, that thing bounces off the padding like rubber instead of cutting it in half lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Otherwise, I'm with you guys, that was the best episode in a while. I said early on in the show that I liked how it gave us time to meet Sam and Bucky as actual characters. This episode had that in spades. Sam is always believable in his PTSD mentor role and you could see it with John early on and then later with Bucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
