Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a pretty flawless movie, and is arguably still the finest film the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought.

Gotta disagree with your first premise. Zemo being a semi-regular guy (he is a trained special forces soldier) who just happened to read all of Black Widow’s files and put together the plan that destroys the Avengers is a feature, not a bug.

It’s great news on two fronts:
1. (the obvious) We’re that much closer to new Waititi Thor!
2. (the less obvious) We’re that much closer to Waititi Star Wars!

I smell a Darcy and Woo spinoff series with an X-Files type vibe.

Happy to see Jimmy Woo will be sticking around! I’d watch a series about him. Randall Park is just likeable in everything.

It got me every damn time. “Oh look, Jon Hamm!” Boom.

Somebody has said that zombie shows won’t be realistic unless somebody is wading into the zombies screaming “zombies don’t exist and pretending they do is a violation of my rights!” They’re not wrong.

I also liked the runner about introducing a major guest star every season premiere who is then killed off within minutes.

I loved the running background storyline on the show that basically all the survivors had massive drinking problems and or pill problems from dealing with isolation and grief, something else the writers got right it seems

To think how much dumber real life was. Not once did they joke about arguing if the virus was real or how much more important it was to get the economy back up and running.

My wife died at the beginning of the pandemic, last March, but I don’t hold any animosity towards him or the show for making light of it. From great tragedy comes great comedy, and comedy has helped me process my grief.

I started watching The Leftovers on HBO last week. I know Endgame dove into how the world was a little bleaker and people were depressed after The Snap, but that show goes deep into how people would react to a large chunk of the population just vanishing. All kinds of cults and other strange behavior from people. You…

Nah, Darcy’s great. You need comic relief to cut through all that stuffy seriousness. She and Jimmy played off each other nicely.

Going from poli sci college student to renown astrophysics expert in 12 years. You go *DR* Lewis!

All this talk about bringing back Killmonger, but I’m interested in seeing more of M’Baku even if it was in a solo film.

But it does make for a lousy mystery.

The Archer/Bob’s Burgers crossover is still one of my favorites. It made sense in a lot of ways, and while Bob’s only factored in at the beginning and end, it played into the sensibilities of both series pretty damn well.

it was also very much addressed in endgame after Tony’s funeral. Wanda and Clint have a conversation about missing both Vis and Nat.

While I can’t argue it is in questionable taste, can we start a thread on questionable commodification of fandom? I’ll start. (and yes I know Hydra are less fictional Nazis than Space Nazis, but still)

My favorite WandaVision theory is that the couple in the commercials are Wanda and Pietro’s parents. The products advertised represent the forces that destroyed Wanda’s family — the Stark bomb that killed her parents, and the Hydra agents who recruited her and her brother, leading to his death.
