Also, keep in mind “peak human” includes combining peaks of human feats that could not exist in a single normal human. For instance, you wouldn’t expect the person running 30 miles an hour (peak sprinting speed) to also be able to run an ultramarathon at speed (peak distance endurance). When they get into a fight,…

While the “he used drugs!” blame deflecting is also ridiculous, I want to highlight the first claim for examination. The one where his attorney claims “Derek Chauvin couldn’t stop choking the life out of George Floyd because he was too distracted by all the people yelling at him to stop choking the life out of George…
Sure.
Going back to the first Captain America movie, Captain America John Walker is exactly who we would have gotten, if Col. Phillips had chosen Hodges for the program instead of Erskine choosing Rogers.
Even if you just want a bald white Brit, Jason Statham is right there on the island.
“Re: racism: I do think the ep 2 cop encounter was juuuust off, and I can’t put my finger on why.”
This is very true. However Redwing came much later than the actual flight suit - in Captain America: Civil War - after Sam joined the Avengers. Redwing almost certainly was a Stark Tech drone (like Spider-Man’s drone) with no input from the federal government, unlike the flight suit.
This episode made a lot of people happy that just wanted a full hour of Sam and Bucky in the VW Bug in Civil War (me!).
Yes. And as fast and as strong as Walker is (probably on a par with Sam), he got his ass handed to him by Karli in less than a minute.
It’s very meta that an oblivious, race-deaf but blindly-wanting-to-do-the-right thing Marvel Comics did something so boneheaded with good intentions with “Battlestar the Black sidekick”, and then the TV show shows the American government doing exactly the same thing. It’s very clever, and I have to believe it’s…
When Sam mentions to Captain Torres in Episode 1, “whenever you guys [Air Force techs] touch him, he [Redwing] gets glitchy”, I took it to mean the Air Force guys installed the tracker on Redwing sometime during this.
“I was a bit confused about Sam calling himself a free agent considering he’s an Air Force contractor and they somehow claim ownership of Redwing (I thought Stark built it?)“
“Which is really an interesting thing to explore. With the Five, mutants don’t have to be worried about death anymore.”

1) It is very strange that Tony the multibillionaire didn’t have some sort of Avengers Fund that Happy and Pepper couldn’t work with to prevent the exact situation that Sam finds himself in.
And so it goes for all the good cops.
“...they clearly state that they do not have a source of income.”
“Detroit police said Tuesday that “all the indications that we have at this point is that it was not in autopilot mode,” said Deputy Chief David LeValley, “that the driver was in control of the vehicle at the time of the crash.”
It’s like Snyder watched The Seven from The Boys, and came out of it thinking they were the good guys.
The T’au Empire is 40K’s Church of Scientology. Outside of the mechs and the hyperadvanced technology, they’re really not that interesting.
