Date: 2021-04-10 10:31 pm (UTC)Aw, nice, a flashback to Bucky in Wakanda!
That's a nice place filthy rich Zemo has there!
I can't believe Bucky felt the need to point out "The Avengers, not the Nazis." after Sam's "Hey, those are our friends you're talking about."
I like that they filmed in Prague, it looks so much like home.
Smart of Zemo to talk to the kids and bring candy.
Ah, finally solid information about who exactly the Displaced are. So the Flag Smashers do have a good cause, their problem is just that they don't know how to bring about real change without violence. How frustrating and very RL. I like that Sam empathizes.
I love how intimidated Zemo looks for a moment after Bucky smashed his tea. And after Sam points out the head tilt, Zemo is looking caught and moves his head upright again. *snort*
Aw, that Flag Smasher considers Karli their Captain America. It's kind of cute, even though he agrees with Karli's violent approach.
Sam is reasoning with Karli and I love it sooo much! I love him so much! And then Walker comes in and ruins the potential rapprochement.
While I'm glad that Zemo destroyed the remaining serum (albeit in a not very thorough way), I don't like that he tried to kill Karli. And FUUUUCK, Walker finds an intact vial.
Oh, good, Sam points out Zemo's hypocrisy regarding "Super Soldiers cannot be allowed to exist". And he finally thinks of asking Zemo how he feels about Bucky. Well, yeah, Bucky should probably be protected from Zemo, just in case.
The Dora Milaje beating up Walker: What a sight to behold! And Zemo, Sam & Bucky think so too, heee.
Ooh, Ayo knows how to separate Bucky from his shiny arm.
"They weren't even Super Soldiers." OMFG, get over yourself!
JFC, Karli, threatening Sarah and her kids is so not cool.
I had hoped for a better fate for Lemar, as he has a conscience and therefore deserves better. But he was also Walker's conscience, so it makes sense that Walker would go apeshit without Lemar.
I'm so glad there's lots of video evidence of new Cap losing his shit. Can't wait for him to lose this job!
Oh wow, this was so disturbing that the credits don't play the usual music. Reminds me of 24's silent clock.

Date: 2021-04-11 04:12 am (UTC)Zemo is a canny monster and I am excited to see what else he gets up to. I respect that neither Sam or Bucky get physical with a man who is technically their prisoner, but watching Bucky finally lose his patience and fling that cup was great. I like that he's smart and his machinations seem to be paying off a lot better than in CW, but I also want Sam and Bucky to get the last laugh as he gets carted off to a Wakandan prison because of them.
Re. Lemar Hoskins I saw someone on tumblr talking about the dead Black sidekick trope and wonder about the show leaning into it. I don't know near enough to have real opinions about subverting it or playing it straight here, but it does make me pause a little. He actually wasn't a bad guy but this cycle of vengeance is gonna be rough.
Sam's hero moment happening as he just relates to another human being in pain when no one else could see was a great alternative to anything we've seen Walker or Steve do, and I too love him so much. I love what they're doing with Sam characterization, I really enjoyed the comics version of Sam and I'm glad that Mackie is getting so much to work with.

The trope is another reason why I didn't expect Lemar to be killed off.
