Perhaps but even one dimensional, she was a more interesting character than anyone else in the show. She's almost MILF waifu material. Almost.

Interesting tidbit about his comic character.
Jonathan Walker (Earth-616)
John Walker was a U.S. Army veteran who went through the Power Broker process to enhance his strength and become a hero in hopes of honoring his fallen brother. He planned to join the Universal Class Wrestling Federation to pay back the Power Broker before becoming a super hero, but was...

I would presume that would come from Falcon rejecting it and taking up the Mantle.
Did he really reject it though? I think it's more about "taking it back" rather than accepting its history (bad AND good) and moving forward.
There was a challenge in there from Bradley, which Sam didn't buy into about no self respecting black man would pick up the shield. Clearly Sam doesn't agree with that sentiment. Still, in the words of Matt, this is cape shit so I honestly wouldn't get too worked up over it.

I stopped watching, I think in episode 4. The funeral scene. It just isn't my cup of tea.
Final episode redeemed the series. Not as heavy-handed as the previous few episodes. Most everything felt natural. Looking forward to season 2.
cap put his faith in people, individuals. he didn't set out to apologize on behalf of domestic terrorists or speak about hegemonies of power and control since his was a position of defending what unites us in the worst of times regardless of identity, class or history
sam means well yet struggles with a callow view of the world which befits a kind of postmodern exemplar of digestible dogma insofar as creating pockets of tolerance derived from reconstructing falling stars no matter the costs (the road to hell is paved w / good intentions)
bucky is just sorta lost in his mind, breaking down others to abate his own misery
walker remains the most interesting of the lot, putting in work and struggling to make his way through the world without succumbing to disingenuous moral viewpoints with the intent of communicating righteousness at every opportunity

At ep 4 now. Slightly better than the three ones before.
Still feels like some bad actors LARPing. Bucky only has one expression and it starts grating on me.
I can understand new Cap going mental after his friend is killed. Actually one of the strongest scenes.
Phew. This show is really difficult, imo.
Marvel has lost its steam.

"I'm not going to fight you, Karli!"
"The Flag Smashers aren't terrorists! How do you think people see us?"
Blah blah blah blah
Fuck this show. I'm glad it's over.

This show was absolutely hot fucking garbage.
I'm seriously glad it's over with.
I almost don't even want to watch another Marvel movie after this but Loki actually looks like it'll be fun.

I didn't catch that being about his skin color, but it's the first in a long line of things that happen to him that progressively point towards some form of racism. Still, that one scene alone felt like it was impossible to discern skin color as the motivator.
Honestly, the fact the guy was apparently struggling for cash and wasn't constantly swarmed by agents, publicists, journalists and other generally greedy parasites was probably the least believable part of the show.
Seriously, the guy is a superhero, part of the Avengers, just helped save the world, and is young, fit, handsome and reasonably charismatic.
Even if he wasn't willing to use it to make money, there would have been a Legion of people out there that would see him as a resource to be exploited.
This actually. I actually felt Sam saying fuck this, I'm gonna Cap anyways, goes to a long way to show "put the stupid shit behind us". Even his little speech on the last episode, yes it was woke, but the message wasn't bad. I mean, as much as this woke shit irritates me, the reality is there is still a ton of people out there that don't want a Black Captain America.
Black is whatever but why do I want to see a non-super soldier Cap? I mean sure, Marvel is just going to have him do impossible shit anyways because they really don't care but still...
Honestly this. Even Falcon using that shield effectively, without super strength, coordination and reflexes, is total bollocks.

The problem with this series isn't a black Captain America, it's the depiction of the "toxic white male" Walker before. Someone who is a decorated Afghanistan veteran and probably risked his life countless times for his country. Seems these are "problematic people" now to Hollywood.
I mean, just watch Critical Drinker's video, it's all in there.
I am just so tired of this ideological war against a certain demographic that I happen to be part of.
And they wonder that there is a backlash?

And stopping to tell people to "do better."

Might be a good case for a Kinect comeback - so you can literally shake your head and wag your finger at Joe public while giving them a good telling off.

Who needs people telling you to "get gud" when you have Sam Wilson to tell you to "do better".
Not much to add but Karli is the stupidest looking character ever. Seriously wtf. Admiral Holdo, Rose Tico, Karli....

It's the same girl who played the secondary "villain" in Solo.
Disney must have a thing for her.
She's the most unconvincing villain there is.
You beat me to it. On point as ever with the Pitch Meetings.
I thought the finale was ok as long as you don't think too hard about it. There was a lot of daftness in it for sure, but I didn't find it wholly offensive and the action was good for the most part. Curious to see whether there is a Season 2.
Also, I can't hate a show that gave us the Zemo dancing though. I love the hand-clapping at the end.
Totally forgot she was in Solo.
Btw your posts here were more fun than the show itself. Reminds me of a poster at gaf around 2019. I made a post mocking Rey in the ST saying her powers were not conventional force but rather the power of becoming super talented at whatever the male near her fails at, and how Luke being the biggest failure at everything activates her to complete her jedi training in one day.. This guy replied "Ouch. It's worse than I thought. Fuck this movie"
LOL in the gaf thread sol_bad said you are allowed to criticize parts of the story as long as you don't use buzzwords like woke, left, sjw, etc.

I don't know if I can even watch the last episode. The series is just so bad?
I am really bugged that The Falcon, a guy who has 0 super powers or abilities is taking the role of a guy who had super soldier serum and was super powerful, also worthy of using thors hammer. Now Cap is just a regular ass dude that works out but can fly thanks to wakanda making him a suit.
Like even though Stark doesn't have any 'super powers' he's super smart and makes all his own stuff. Falcon doesn't even have that.
Like almost 99% of the villains in the marvel universe are super powered in some way, how is regular ass falcon going to stand a chance against any of them?
Not only that but the woke shit in the show and acting like the flag smashers are actually good guys.......
