Karli’s a bit deceptive because she’s just the best leader among the tiny number of people who got the serum. She’s trying to rise to the occasion but she’s desperate and has no idea what she’s doing. She’s also clearly traumatized. And she’s under pressure to lead an organization that is going to save the world. That…

Yeah, Sam will keep helping Bucky, but it’ll take him longer to figure out who his is.

Walker’s no hero. No hero pauses as long as he did before doing the obviously right thing, and after making the hero’s choice he wasn’t permitted to actually be the hero (Sam got that).

After four plus years of “on the nose” from the now Former Occupant of the White House, I think a few “on the nose” speeches like Sam’s are fully justified.

I bet his coworkers either agree with him 100% on matters like this, or they wish he would fucking STOP “expressing” his “individuality” at his workplace.

What do you want to take from us wonderful weirdos next? The Muppet Show? Sesame Street? She-Ra? Mr. Rogers?

Yes: Sam’s montage is training to use the shield. Bucky’s is helping out and living in this community so that he can understand Sam better.

Did you watch the show while streaming or otherwise not paying attention? Because things like “why did the white guy get the shield” have been CENTRAL to the show. It’s just employing some subtext.

Having watched the footage six or seven times, I have to say that your claim here—”Heres a picture of the dead girl about to plunge a six inch knife into the woman in pink”—is not supported by the evidence. Is it possible? Sure. But my main impression is complete confusion.

The next step in these reports: “The chief stated that the suspect repeatedly assaulted officers by slamming his face into their boots and fists, causing both damage to the boots and multiple officer injuries. He then charged into police bullets at a high rate of speed, killing himself.

1. The Peter Principle. Someone is really successful at doing Job A at the studio, so they get promoted to Job B. The requirements of Job B and the necessary skills and background may have no relation to Job A. The people who either adjust on the fly or manage to appear like they know what they’re doing get promoted…

“Captain America and Bucky”

Have her dancing with Zemo and you’ve got something.

Endgame handled that aspect of Captain Marvel better and she was barely in it.

Yes, but... it was fairly clear they were canning Walker not because he’d murdered someone, but because he did it publicly and caused a problem as a result.

Even if that were a reasonable position, they already had at least one Black host announced in the trials (Bill Whitaker), so that is not an excuse for not trying Burton and seeing how he’s received.

What reward do you expect for your post? Seems like you’re signaling something pretty clearly yourself.

What notes are you checking? Because they seem to be about stealing supplies, including food and medicine, and taking money from the rich to give to the poor. The group is generally aiming at refugee Robin Hood. It’s their leader who has become embittered, who wants to hurt those she sees as responsible for all the…

And that’s spot-on why Sam gave up the shield. Because he saw it as making him into a symbol, and he didn’t want that. As a Black man who was a soldier first and an Avenger second, he’d have been very aware of the ways in which who he was got turned into what he represented, and it’s not only reasonable for him to…

It could be as simple as the fact that Joel (and Jim Mallon) owned the show when it originally aired and thus saw income through the years as first Rhino and then Shout Factory sold DVDs, where all the other performers were paid poorly (Comedy Central gave them $35,000 per episode, total) and received nothing from DVD…
