Marvel Studios: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Captain America and Bucky doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Some might say the names are what people see them as rather than what they do and I guess most would still think of Bucky as the Winter Soldier.

honestly think Endgame wasn't a good movie and was almost entirely propped up by the good will and emotional involvement people have in the MCU.

I both agree with you and disagree with you at the same time.

I get that if you stood back and watched endgame in isolation, it would never be thought of as a good film (even if someone filled you in on the details before hand, PowerPoint style). I also think that certain characters and subplots barely got any time of day, and I still question how they shoe-horned Captain Marvel in at the last second.

And yet at the same time, I can categorically state that the ending sequences of Endgame made me react in the cinema with an intensity and in manner that no other film has even come close to doing, and I am not sure will happen ever again (yes, in a big part because we have followed these characters for over a decade). So in that sense... it was very very good.

There is so much else I would have liked the movie to do, and I can nitpick if I really wanted to... but at the end of the day, it was an incredible experience. I don't think the good will and emotional investment can be dismissed.
 
It's comic accurate, personally the only bit I don't like is the bit around his ears. Think it would look better with no head piece just the goggles same as Falcon. It'll change over time like Steve's did.
 
In that outfit, he suffers the same problem as a lot of Batman actors have had. You can't rotate your head. If you watch when he is talking to the politicians, you can see how uncomfortable he is having to rotate his whole body to talk to each person in turn.

Surprise surprise, the usual posters are annoyed with a show that deals with some quite basic real world race issues in a superhero (fantasy) TV Show...

It's ridiculous isn't it.

My main issue with it was at stages it felt like a channel 5 B movie. The fight scenes underground were naff.

What's with the ridiculous gymnastics aswell. Constantly flipping about all over the place for no reason :cry::cry:
 
Ngl I loved this show - my main problem was the writing of the 'villain'. I found Karly really unlikeable and I think that was because it was poorly acted. I just felt like I should've cared and I didn't - too monotone for me. But I loved how it addressed contextual issues and lots of questions around masculinity etc. I did keep thinking Steve would walk through the door though aha!
 
I'd agree with that. In Black Panther I had some sympathy for Killmonger in the end, but Karly was wooden and I felt underdeveloped. There was not enough of a backstory to help give her cause perspective imo.
 
Watched it, felt a complete waste of time, but at least the bloke who plays Bucky can actually act.

The budgie and the winter soldier more like.
 
Just finished the series.

Ginger teenager - worst villain ever.

Mackie - still can't act and will never be Cap in my eyes.

Enjoyed the series but the black man struggles were not needed - at all.

Black dude gets the white suit, the white man gets the black suit - wow.

Not looking forward to the next movies if Mackie continues as cap falcon
 
I don't think the issue was the actor - just think Karly and John Walker had inconsistencies in their characters that performances couldn't cover for. The way their characters 'escalated' didn't track to me - the wilful murder of the soldiers in Karly's case, and the deathmatch with Sam and Bucky in John's. All too sudden.

I suspect that was down to the show being too compressed, rushed (definitely think the story change took a toll) and some bonkers editing (so much that was shown should have been on the cutting room floor). I think in a better version of the show, the actor playing Karly would have been spot on. I think the writers an showrunners let her down.
