Kal-El814 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Kinda curious about why all those unspent bullets are hitting the ground Looks good in general though, I’m psyched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoJoe Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I wasn't sure what to expect with WV and that blew me mind. I don't know what to expect with FAWS but my expectations are now pretty high. I'm excited for Friday! I have a question! The MCU has caught up with my comic book knowledge after the twists in WV. This might be a dumb question but I always had this assumption that the way Cap throws his shield and catches it without breaking his arm had to do with the super soldier serum he was given. Does something similar happen to Sam or are we supposed to just let go of that thought and believe a non supped up human arm can handle the force of the shield like he's doing in that trailer? if that question is in itself a spoiler, I don't really care to be spoiled about that, so please let me know!

Sam is just a normal human when he takes up the shield. No super soldier serum. You just have to believe he is capable of handling it.

Kal-El814 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Earth-616 (main Marvel comic universe) Cap isn’t technically “superpowered,” he’s just as strong as a human possibly could be. So all his shield chicanery could be accomplished by someone with a good arm and practice. MCU Cap is obviously enhanced beyond normal human limits but presumably the shield stuff could still be accomplished by normal people even if they’re working with less oomph.

legend Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think if we grant Hawk Eye's level of control without being super powered, we can grant that Falcon could at least do some of the shield stuff. "Peak humans" in MCU seem to be somewhat super-human compared to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 A bunch of non super soldiers have handled the shield. MCU Cap is definitely superhuman, but Marvel U Cap isn't. Same goes for Black Panther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Watched last night...the opening sequence was great...the rest of the episode so-so. Spoiler personally I'm not all that interested in Flacon's family issues. This is a 6 episode series, not unending drama/soap, so while it may go somewhere, it feels more like filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 I thought it was a good first episode. The first action sequence was great. Batroc returning was cool. Rhodey's cameo was also cool. I like seeing the personal struggles of our heroes because it grounds them and adds to their background story. Can't wait to see how they treat U.S. Agent (the new cap) in this series.

NeoJoe Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I had to watch the episode a second time to really appreciate it. Going back to guns and murdering bad guys and explosions was jarring after WV. But, once I remembered this was how TSW, AoU, CW, and the likes were I was able to get back into the right mindset for it. That initial action sequence was awesome. I'm loving seeing this side of Bucky and am 10x more invested in his story so far than Sam's. I'm sure Sam's arc will be regret of giving up the CA mantle and shield, and I'm super curious how US Agent plays into it. I felt dumb that I didn't recognize the US Agent on first viewing and had to brush up on his history but now I'm really intrigued how they will integrate his story into the show. As for Bucky, I'm not sure how his "amends" story will play out and how he's gonna fit into the grand scheme of the dude with the masks story but I'm 100% on board for it. The therapist and Bucky's session was my favorite part. edit: Also Sebastian Stan with short hair, awkward smiling and being shirtless? Yes, please. More of all that.

johnny Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 tony died before he could theoretically make sure all the people who fought him in civil war would be back into his will lol. pepper could help tho. if falcon asked maybe she would help.

Pikachu Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Pepper is still alive. I'm not sure if the MCU has any plans for her after Endgame. Her character doesn't function all that well without Tony Stark, so probably best to just put her in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Gwyneth Paltrow has said she'd do the odd cameo here and there, but has no interest in anything greater than that. Gwyneth Paltrow says she's willing to be in another Marvel movie — if she can film it in 'a day or two' WWW.INSIDER.COM Don't expect a Pepper Potts standalone movie anytime soon. Gwyneth Paltrow only wants "small" appearances in the MCU going forward. Either way, Tony's money is all with Stark Enterprise and his widow. I'm sure if Falcon asked, he could probably get Pepper to help him out, but I also don't think he's looking for a handout. He shouldn't have to be a charity case. Like @NeoJoe said, there's no way Captain America doesn't get that loan approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema- Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Oh, we only pay our warfighters by calling them heroes in the real world today. None of the billionaires they protect are rushing in to give them money. Sam Willson's story is just putting that into sharp relief. Also his story is clearly about how he's going to earn the shield, both for the audience and in his own mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
