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 suspect the only reason that Zemo already got my attention during Civil War is because he was played by a German actor.
I wish I could stop speculating, because I can grow too fond of my ideas and then might not like what actually happens. Sam obviously needs to become the new Captain America, Bucky should be his sidekick or - if things go wrong - should at least get to seek refuge in Wakanda again, and Zemo needs to go to prison in Wakanda.

Mmm, I love me some spycraft (only just rewatched Alias last year and I can report that it's still good), which might be the reason why I want the above-mentioned trope to appear. Can't believe I forgot that Sharon was in the spy business! That really would make that trope perfect for her! And here I am getting too much into my ideas. This would probably be much easier, if I could write and bring these ideas to life myself.

Oh, right, Karli only bombed the GRC after her foster mom (I assume) died. My stupid sieve brain forgot that because of the cutting back and forth between the various story threads. Okay, that earns her back a few points.

I wish spoilers worked for me that way, but they either make me dread an episode or I get ideas about how the spoiler came about and then I'll turn out to be wrong and disappointed. The latter is what happened when I looked up spoilers about a show I hadn't started watching until the spoiler convinced me to. Forever bitter about the Bohner thing, ahahaha.
