Well yeah, any good characters need strong development. I'm basically talking about my favorite type of villain.Quote:

Loved the Killing Joke
Glad to see that crusade was adapted in The Dark Knight
i hope u're talking about the comic and not that shitty movie.
I haven't seen the movie. Even though I have hbomax, I'm still not planning to. I've heard it sucks.
of courseQuote:

i thought he had some great moments like the ones you mentioned, then others where he just acted like a straight up childish brat. i just have a hard time believing a war hardened, military brainwashed killing machine would keep the personality of a 14 year old from the ghettos of oakland, mixed with moments of a spoiled brat. but i suppose im in the minority on this one.Quote:

Gotta let this build up tbh. Falcon is boring, and Winter soldier been under utilized since Civil War
Holy shit
As a huge fan of Captain America The Winter Soldier, this 1st episode was AMAZING
This 1st episode is much better than the whole WandaVision series, it’s not even a contest
Bucky was interesting, Falcon was boring. First ep was ok. 5/10, move on.
and its not hard to be better than WandaVision. After the first 3 episodes that show went to shit.
Oh, did you, totally not racist but just in a crazy coincidence, like the white character and not like the black guy? SHOCKING!!!!Quote:

i am sorry i didnt find going to a bank for a loan interesting. I did like all of his fighting scenes at the start... also, why are the avengers not being payed. thats just shitty.Quote:

4/5 tbh
Pretty great opening action sequence to set the tone, and did enough to set the table. Liked the cameo's from Batroc and Rhodey, really makes it feel like a shared universe. They still have a lot of work to do to make Sam and Bucky actual characters instead of plot points and/or ancillary super-hero's there to fill out the roster.
Sam got done real dirty, there at the end and am curios to know more about the head flag smasher--has to be another super-soldier. Looking forward to next week.
Hope they don't drag out Sam and Bucky getting together until episode 3 though
The Sam backstory was necessary for character building, showing how he responds to adversity. The loan scene was an interesting choice though.Quote:

Also the Sokovia accords probably complicates things with the Avengers supposed to be an international team who takes orders from the U.N. Then half the the team says fuck off an goes on the run after escaping prison before later being dusted and missing 5 years. Would like to think that some of the Avengers uses their likenesses to pay the bills.
This is weird for me. Who is Nick Fury and his people working for now? Is Sword kinda going to replace Shield? I assumed Fury will be the leader of Shield, but yea, it looks like its gone.Quote:

In the movies falcon was a new avenger, so it makes no sense that Stark who gave a high school kid access to an entire weapons platform didn't have the foresight to fund the Avengers for the future if he didn't make it back from the time heist. It's just bad continuity. Also there's no proof that stark didn't like him in Civil War he went to him to get info on where Rogers was goingQuote:
