Xameil Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I know I am in the minority on this, but honestly I liked Wandavison more then Falcon and the Winter Soldier.... Don't get me wrong...its good, but not feeling it as much yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 @Xameil Mrs. Fergasun agrees with you... there's a certain point in Marvel where she doesn't want to play 10 card monte with all the characters and locations. Son of Fergasun and I were speculating about the power broker and she's like, "who the hell are you talking about!". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 WV is a better show but the ending was abrupt and too clean and left a lot to be desired imo. FATWS started off weaker but the last 2 episodes have been excellent and it is setting up for a better and more impactful finale imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not feeling the flow, the writing... Wandavision was great in telling her story, and the progression for what's next. For Falcon, I like the premise about people dealing with the snap...then the problems the blip caused with half the population coming back straining all the resources. I just think they lose the focus on those issues by focusing on a completely separate social issue that really has nothing to do with the story or problem at hand.

Don't get me wrong...its good, but not feeling it as much yet. I liked Wandavision more. They took risks with that show early on and they paid off. Falcon Winter wasn’t bad, but it contained fewer surprises. Also I didn’t like Erin Kellyman’s villain. They wanted to make her sympathetic and menacing and I don’t think they really achieved either. Last two episodes of the show were great though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon/Winter Soldier picked up for me in episode 4, but overall I didn't find myself intrigued by the storylines nor really giving a **** who the Power Broker was. Not to mention all of the back and forth about who knew "Cap" (Steve) better, who Cap liked more, who was hurt more by his passing, etc, etc, between Sam and Bucky made me literally roll my eyes at one point. WandaVision's examination on grief and the power it holds over us was far more intriguing to me. Liked both, but WV was better in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think when they filmed it, Marvel wasn't free to use him yet? Those 4 actors will be back, either in other shows or New shows of their own. It will have nothing to do with their Netflix shows. A reboot with those actors. Luke Cage and Iron Fist will be recast, if they return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for eyeroll moments, there was one for me in the finale...won't spoil anything but while it was, you know, "good" I felt like this would never, ever, ever happen even in a world with superheroes lol...it was too on-the-nose for me, a little too convenient and went on a little too long. If the purpose of Falcon/Winter Soldier was to set Sam up as a legit new Captain America, I think it succeeded pretty well, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at Sharon Carter’s weight gain towards the end (she’s not big by any means but it’s just to say that they filmed at two different times). 2 minutes ago, Califan007 said: The last 3 episodes made me like the show more...

The biggest miss was the Flag Smashers which had their storyline torn apart due to Covid according to things ive heard. They talked about difficult issues and managed to pull it off well. I enjoyed it quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I liked about WV was that it really didn't introduce a bunch of topics and ideas beyond how traumatizing grief can be. Falcon/Winter Soldier had like seven different topics/ideas and most of them were given surface treatment. They needed more than six episodes to invest into them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quicksilver thing I found hilarious, especially how they handled it and said it was a re-cast. I also think this was to start setting up X-Men. I believe this was the first time she was actually called Scarlet Witch (could be wrong here tho). So to me this supports that mutants will start being introduced in the next Doctor Strange since she'll be in that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kind of the same - pretty forgiving overall. Loved Punisher and Dare Devil. I liked a lot about Jessica Jones (1st season a lot more), Iron Fist wasn’t good, but had some redeeming qualities. Think it was especially difficult to pull off the personal growth, I did like his relaxed, zen attitude in the crossover episodes though. Pretty cheesy though much of the time. Luke Cage - man, I loved the neighborhood hero angle, how they represented the area and such, just didn’t get there overall, IMO. Anywho, pretty excited they’re bringing the above group back (if true) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
