I got the sense that Bakshi as a high-level HYDRA dude had learned methods of resisting their brainwashing techniques, so the whole time he was just pretending to go along with Ward, in hopes that he'd eventually be able to get loose. Though I suppose if that were the case he'd have turned earlier than he appeared to,…

Don't go with it. Join the rest of us in telling him it's annoying and stupid and he needs to stop it.

Could we stop with the 'omgz too much diversity talk!!!1!' whining and get down to the REAL problem with this review?

The AVClub commentariat turned into GamerGate so gradually, nobody noticed!

"Here's one you can take now. You can break this one later. Here's one for the Hamptons. This one I like, I keep. This one displeases me."
