I honest to God thought it was an unplayable role, or that it would forever alter an actor’s career like Superman did Reeve’s career.

Then when Evans, who basically had played variations of harmlessly goofy to mildly douchy frat boys and bland male leads for rom-coms, nails the role, I was shocked.

You know they don’t have to prove anything to you, right?

The problem with Karli is that no one has ever stopped for a second to say, “Were we just supposed to leave 3.5 billion people dead because you said so?”

I also think quite a bit hinges on the last conversation he and Lemar had, about their time in Afghanistan and how he wants to finally do something good and how many lives he could have saved.

I think we also need to come to grips with the idea that Steve Rogers is borderline unrealistic. Maybe he’s the one guy in 1940s Brooklyn who doesn’t see race or gender, but he adapts awfully quickly to a world where Fury is his superior officer.

And he goes from either being a virgin (or getting pity sex from one of…

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

Yeah, it sounds stupid, doesn’t it?

Better not suck now. You don’t come back from sucking after all the campaigning you did.

Mr. Fisher needs to learn that when everything is an outrage, nothing really gets to be an outrage.

You could douse her with a firehose and she still couldn’t act wet.

Or... and I’m just spitballing. Use someone who can actually act.

Not sure if he went totally rogue, but I guess I could see him off-screen going, “Yes, sir, we’re following promising leads” and then the higher-ups not asking too many questions.

Your analysis brings up another thing. The government gave John and Lemar absolutely no help.

The global dynamics behind WWII aside, the average citizen and soldier believed it was a moral war and Steve certainly did.

When we learned John was a 3-time CMH winner, I did a dive on the two-time winners. The bulk of them were won in the U.S. early imperialist phase - Haiti, Pancho Villa’s Mexico, other spots in…

I did not remember those. I’m sorry. I was getting there with Raya because I had Jessica Jones on my mind, but the others, I wouldn’t have gotten.

That’s my fault. I’ll do better.

The brutally assaulted is especially out of left field. Jessica Jones is a rape survivor’s tale - two survivors, really, when you learn what Trish had to do to be a child star - but those are white women. 

We have to train ourselves to expect more. We need Bruhl and JLD in the same movie/show.

I also like that they gave us a couple of glimpses of him alone where what he did is sinking in.

The Ironborn yes, the Dornish no. Here’s DaBard’s First Law of Game of Thrones:

Dorne sucks in the books too.

Here’s the thing about that, besides Cersei being more fun to write for. (And Littlefinger too, since he was blessed with teleportation AND all the knowledge in the world)

Game of Thrones became a phenomenon not because of the dragons and White Walkers and nerd stuff. It became one because of the Lannister wars - both…

Sorry, it was because I responded to the other guy first instead of you and thought I was responding to you. Got my threads jacked up. No offense intended.
