This was the tv show I was most looking forward to from Marvel. I loved the Bucky and Sam dynamic, and Sam used to be my fourth favorite character in the MCU. I expected this to be a sitcom, which I guess led to me disliking it as much as I did, but it really should have been a true dramedy instead of a drama show. It should have followed the precedent that the MCU had set of an even balance of lightheartedness and seriousness, especially since Bucky and Sam's dynamic lends itself to comedy.

Not to mention I was really sick of the politics and race stuff. If I'm going into it and expecting that, then fine. But it really wasn't necessary for this show. I was so bored and I hated it so much. Sam was a great supporting character before this show and I sincerely loved him until this show. The race politics felt forced the entire time - enough people wanted Sam to be the next Cap that he did end up becoming Cap. I used to be one of those people but now, I just...I wish there wasn't a Cap replacement. And then there was Karli and I cannot put into words how much I hated her. She was supposed to be sympathetic but there was really no good reason for me to sympathize with her or like her. She wasn't compelling, nor were any of the other Flag Smashers. Literally the only reason I watched this show all the way through was Zemo. I pray to God this show isn't necessary for the understanding of the MCU from this point forward because I will not watch this show any more.

Again, keep in mind, I was looking forward to this show more than any other. Had it not been for Hawkeye, I would have given up on the MCU altogether. It should have been a sitcom.
