Has anybody seen any good merchandise? I'm going to add to my t-shirt wall art with this shirt. I like these stickers. You want some socks? How 'bout this Sharon Carter t-shirt? Everyday cosplay! Enamel pins!


Ayo! In case you need a short refresher. Look, idk what's going to happen, but . . . 94% sure Bucky's going to get his ass kicked.

Sam's suit. So that didn't go down the way I thought it would. What did you think about the 'pimp' conversation? I know so little about men's fashion, and I think they said African fashion? Except that I wish men could wear what they want and really express themselves without the negative connotations? More patterns! More colors!

Reduced role for John Walker in this episode, and Karli did a bad thing in the Flag Smasher's plot. My barely there show theories are falling apart.

What's up with Sharon? It feels a little like the MCU abandoned her. There was no reason she wouldn't have caught up with Steve, Sam, and Natasha when they were on the run, but Falcon and Winter Soldier needed an ally in Madripoor so they squished her in. You think she's going to get her pardon?

Please react, question, discuss, and capslock in the comments. Play nice and be aware that not everyone wants spoilers for future episodes or have read/watched the same articles and interviews.

I do think! I don't know whether she's a double agent or if she's on her own, but either way, I loved her. I think the MCU intended her to be a Steve sidekick, but after Civil War, we were in Endgame territory instead, and there was no real way to squish that plot point in. And I'm glad! Glad glad glad! I'd much rather have her plot not be based on romance with a "main" character. She can be a main character on her own!

Her fighting was delightful, she threw shade at everyone, and she spoke for all of us with that look she gave shirtless Sam. I loved her!

Watching her kick some ass in the container yard was awesome! I thought they gave her a realistic but still fun to watch style. She's always been a spy, right? If she doesn't have two or three plates spinning at a time, I'll be a little disappointed. : )
