First of all the people saying "it's in the comics, you guys are the ignorant ones" - the comics were supposedly written in the 1970s and the show happens in today's world. For today's standards (or really any standards so long as you don't change the definition), this borderline racist, I actually don't know what universe the people who are pushing this stuff live in.

The whole painting terrorists in a favorable light is also ridiculous, if you kill a bunch of people who weren't really hurting you, you're in the wrong no matter how noble you think your cause is. I was all for robbing banks, but apparently that didn't make the characters virtuous enough at the eyes of the writer, had to go and kill a bunch of people as well.

Bucky is ruined. I get the remorse and the depression, but really if I was forced at gunpoint to try and make a more wimpy and miserable character, I'm not sure I could. Such a great actor and such a great character - ruined. Even the arm sucks now.

Capitain america: forced as hell - from a perfectly humble character going on to become the villain in the span of 3 short episodes. I haven't seen a lot of shows do a transition like this, this badly.

I actually dig the falcon, the whole "doesn't get any money and can't get a loan" arc is completely ridiculous, but aside from that he seems like a balanced person. It's fairly weird to seem him go on fist fights and swing his wings at people every so often, the melee combat really doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I guess that's just the falcon. I really do hope he doesn't get brainwashed into also blaming everything on white people.

This last episode (s01e05) was the hardest to watch yet, more race bs, and ultimately just almost no progression (or didn't feel like it anyway). Imma keep watching because I have nothing better to do while I eat that one meal a week, but if loki turns out to be some more racist garbo or they also make all the characters all wimpy or they pull another "super hero has no money and can't get a loan type" level thing - I might just quit marvel entirely.

I give it a 5 cuz the falcon is cool, Bucky's actor does a good job despite playing a horrible character, Zemo (and his arc) is dope as hell and so is the CGI.

Honestly when I think about it they could just delete all the other stuff from the show and it would probably be better.

Yeah, do a version of this where you're not trying to prove that you're virtuous because you believe in easy mainstream politics and you'll probably have me hooked, then I might reconsider docking from this bay I'm sailing. Otherwise this doesn't deserve my money and I'd be fine just not watching in the face of a lack of better options.
