Seen loads of praise for that opening action scene and have no idea why. Was deeply deeply generic and, like all MCU stuff, zero stakes.

nice that it wasn’t set in an Atlanta parking lot for a change though

the next arc is 100% gearing up to go full space opera by the looks of it tbh

but remember that the likes of daredevil, moonknight, punisher, cage, jones etc are all potentially back in play (some already in production) and part of the wider comics arcs has always been street-level stuff going up against hydra, AIM, flag smashers (they’re actually in the comics and their leader is fucking hilarious) and so on while out in space everything is being explosioned

it was pretty much top gun with flying men

the appearance of US Agent at all suggests they’re going to be pretty critical of american military force (albeit within the paradigm of ‘bad politicians’ wielding that power as opposed to ‘any politicians’ but it’s disney, so that’s to be expected)

I thought of the opening scene as a statement of intent from Marvel Studios. “Look! Our tv action scenes will be cinema quality!”. If TFATWS was the debut tv series instead of WandaVision.

The main bad guy was GSP! He was in Winter Soldier too

It was meant to be but COVID stopped the filming of it due to the location filming whereas WV could continue as it was set based

tried to watch it three times, drifted off each time, probably more my fault than theirs

Ah I thought it was Batroc but wasn’t sure. Good to see some smaller villains returning just like in the comics.

Will be interested to see how this rolls really in terms of acknowledging her death in the film.

My daughter enjoyed Avengers Assemble and we got through The First Avenger but she got a bit bored with the politics side of The Winter Soldier and found the Fury chase upsetting more than exciting which is a shame. We’ll see if she’ll come back to it. I was basically hoping to get her through that, AoU and Civil War since she’ll want to see Black Widow in the cinema.

started watching the last season of agents of shield and it’s… really fucking great? obviously they knew it was the final season so just went all out to make the most stupid and fun show possible, and they’ve actually nailed it. wish it had been like this the whole time
