That was a really great episode. On the cameo, as someone else mentioned, JLD is also in Black Widow. Taskmaster. US Agent. I have a feeling she’s like the semi-evil Nick Fury assembling the Dark Avengers/Thunderbolts.

I love that idea because the character is tied to Fury, but hasn't done much of her own thing in the past. So making her Fury's counterpart in assembling her own team of Avengers is such a good idea. She even hands Walker a card with a dark side on it.

Rhyno posted:A better question is why wouldn't an actor want to be part of the MCU. You'll practically live forever via the role. A few thoughts on this episode: First and foremost, I love so much that they don't call any attention to this: An unauthorized raid on an enemy POW camp, disobeying direct orders, to free imprisoned compatriots is exactly what made Steve Rogers transition from glorified USO show-pony to Actually Captain America. Having Isaiah Bradley do the same thing and get jailed for it is exactly the right touch for a show wanting to talk about what this show wants to talk about. And on that note, it is god damned hilarious that the Walt Disney Corporation was like "hey kids, we're making superhero TV shows on the internet now!" and everyone was like "that sounds fun, what're they about" and it turns out the answer so far is Grief and Systemic Racism. I don't know why Sam and Bucky were talking about Steve like he was dead even in private. Like, you guys would have told us if he's actually dead, right? There's still no reason why you can't, like, phone him up and ask him about his thoughts? I'll chalk it up to odd writing, I guess. We nearly got the full credits this week, finally, with just one spot blank after Daniel Bruhl's "and starring", so there's one big cameo left for Episode 6. And finally, if Sharon is the Power Broker -- and at this point that seems like an inescapable conclusion -- why the gently caress did she send Batroc to the Flag Smashers? Isn't she pissed off at them, and kinda relying on Sam to get her that pardon? What's she playing at? CapnAndy fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Apr 17, 2021 |

Which, y'know, doesn't explain why she was apparently down to date some dudes in Agent Carter, but oh well. I mean I remember them implying that she was going to date a guy but they never got there, plus we don't know when Steve returned, maybe it was after season 2.

I just finished rewatching s2 yesterday and her story literally ends with her making out with a guy she had a big crush on and took all season to get with so even though it got cancelled I'm pretty sure that's where that was going lol Was there some interview someone gave post endgame where they said peggy was always married to steve

Which, y'know, doesn't explain why she was apparently down to date some dudes in Agent Carter, but oh well. Who said this? Like that makes no sense based on what we've seen. Did Peggy spend 60 years hiding that she was married to Steve Rogers from the entire world? Like I know she is a spy but did he hide in the basement when people came over, when Peggy had to appear with her husband at an event she took some body double? Like just logistically it doesn't work. Also Steve would not have sat around and let all the horrible things happen in the next decades. They never came out and said who her husband was because they didn't know what they were going to do with that plotline. If Agent Carter had gone on another season we probably would have seen Sousa and Peggy getting together. Its easier to accept that Steve going back to Peggy in the post war era created a new timeline because that's how we see time travel works in the MCU. We now know that Bucky and Steve talked about this and they probably said "i'll come back right after I leave once I've lived the life I wanted and give my shield to Sam so he can be the next Cap". so they would have known what was going to happen.

They originally meet Sousa because Simmons was pretending to be Peggy to infiltrate a base and then they eventually end up at the point where Sousa was going to be killed during a mission. They fake his death to keep the timeline right but bring him along on their time travel adventure. They also give him a robot leg.

twistedmentat posted:.....Also Steve would not have sat around and let all the horrible things happen.... So then he would just let Thanos happen? Because he is what happens when you change any detail of the Avengers story. You can't save Tony's parents because then he doesn't push himself, become Iron Man, invent time travel, and sacrifice himself. Steve didn't go back in time and stop Hitler or the Crusades, he retired and lived a relatively normal live where bad things sometimes happen. It would be different if he could choose a universe that didn't have a Thanos but he'd have no way of knowing and nothing he could have changed is worth risking the lives of half of the entire universe and their surviving loved ones. If the writers do decide to go back on it and say he created a new branch timeline then I'm sure we'll hear about it in Loki.

He had the infinity gauntlet and the plan in his head before he started. What makes you think his first stop in that new universe with Peggy wasn't killing Thanos before he could become a threat? E: I know he couldn't use the gauntlet itself without turning into a crispy critter like Tony, but humans can use the time stone just fine, and that's all you would really need to just smother baby Thanos in his crib.

I just don't buy that Steve would go back in time and let his best friend be mind tortured into being a diabolical assassin for decades and not do anything about it. If he did that's a pretty big gently caress you to the entire character.

Realistically, this is giving the matter way more thought than any of the writers gave it. They wanted Steve to have a happy ending with Peggy, and didn't especially care that the whole thing gets more and more complicated the more you think about it. It was about the emotion of the scene, not the details. If they cover it at all it'll be hand waved in Loki or What If, but likely there won't even be that much.

Steve goes back, dances with Peggy, then its like "okay, so first, Bucky is alive, the remains of hydra are controlling him, also Shield is full of Hydra. Also I need to call Howard and tell him about this guy named Thanos." A world with Captain America in the mid 20th century is probably a lot better than the regular MCU universe and probably a lot better than ours.

I think the Torch actually was an easter egg in one of the films? First Avenger during the Stark Expo scene? I swear I remember that because he was always oddly an obscure character I liked.
