It's insane how we went from Infinity War & Endgame to "Let's not call literal, by textbook definition Terrorists, Terrorists!" crazy. Also for everyone saying Sam held a great Speech, he really didn't. He pulled up to people faced with an impossible Situation (4 Billion people vanishing one day, re-appearing 5 years latter out of the blue) Basically the whole Planet collapsing twice in 5 years. And all he says is "You need to do better." without giving *ANY* pointers as to how they could. Anyone can do that, i can do that. Does that make me a great Captain America? Hell no. Because they can't. The whole World collapsed by 4 Billion people vanishing and then 5 years later those 4 Billion came back onto a Planet that doesn't have the resources or infrastructure to support that many people. Rationing things is gonna happen, people suffering is gonna happen for the time being, there is literally nothing anybody can do about it, unless they can pull some magical resources out of their butts.
It is very common in comics canon for a mantle to be passed on to a different character. In the comics there have been at least 4 Captain Americas (Steve, Bucky, John Walker, and Sam Wilson). There is a new version of Iron Man (not Tony Stark) in the comics. There are younger versions of Hulk, Hawkeye, and other versions of the Avengers. There is already a new Black Widow in the MCU. The hero names get passed on though not always the same character and background.
I might know why people are saying that “Thanos has always been right”, there is a Marvel movie you guys haven’t watched yet that take us to somewhat understand that concept.
Not really, Thanos explained his motives fully in Infinity War and Endgame. Later movies show an even bigger picture but don't change anything as far as his reasoning and actions were concerned. There wasn't any secret "oh that's REALLY what Thanos was trying to do" revelation. There's more stuff going on than Thanos was personally aware of or cared about. His concern was simply that life- all life- if left unchecked would grow beyond the ability of its environment to support. He wasn't concerned only with intelligent life, or any specific planet. His snap didn't only eliminate sentient life forms who could theoretcially learn from the experience and become less greedy or selfish, it wiped out half of plant and animal life too, across the entire universe.
Thanos wasn't right. But Magneto was. And comics have always touched on real world social and political issues. It's in fact how Marvel comics started and has been intertwined all throughout over the last century. Also, other mantles are being passed on. You just haven't gotten there yet - with the exception of Black Widow. Don't forget about Yelena.
So Thanos, who wanted to tackle overpopulation and resource drain, wasn't right. But Magneto, who basically became the second coming of Hitler, was right? Damn.
@@dyegorodriguez2126 Thanos was completely wrong. His moral failure aside, what he believed to be true wasn't. And his snap wasn't an effective long-term solution- just a delay for less than 100 years (probably closer to 60) before the same situation would exisr again.
Guys there were Many Captain America's in the comics. Also many black panthers, and black widows and spidermans. There are pretty much sticking to the canon with these changes. People have argued over the years of who was their favorite Capt, or spiderman etc... it's falcons turn now and if marvel continues s another captain will appear. I remember people lost their sh!t when shuri was black panther well she was in the comics for awhile. And she was actually far more vicious than Tchalla. Thank you for your reaction. Fyi, you have a lunatic in the comments section. Beware.
Yeah while they were other Captain Americas and Black Panthers in comic book history, none of them are iconic characters, people think of as THE character like Steve Rogers and T'Challa are. Just like other people have been Batman, but Bruce Wayne is the one people think of as THE character. But yeah, both Sam and Bucky were Captain America for awhile in the comics, and there was also a guy in the 1950s while Steve was presumed KIA. And of course Isaiah, who was an urban legend in the comics. He was never officially recognized by the US government, his entire career was kept secret. The big problem with MCU Shuri was that her character/personality as portrayed by Letitia Wright was nothing like the comic book characte who temporarily assumed the mantle. It wasn't the actress' fault- the writers created the movie character to play a fundamentally different role and Chadwick Boseman's sudden passing was a huge blow.
"Thanos was right" people are silly. Even if he was solving a valid problem, why snap to remove half the people rather than snap to create double the resources? Also the way that population growth works... you'd have to snap again every 150 years or whatever to keep reducing the population.
On the ending, I immediately said what you did, the Winter Soldier is no more, he should bethe White Wolf. Bucky was the face of terrorism, so he could never be Captain America, but he did change. The big moment for Bucky was at the end of the prior episode. Zemo assumed he will always be the Winter Soldier, and he'd kill Zemo, but he didn't do it. He used his will and proved Zemo wrong.
"Sprinkling a little of real world stuff in there." **blinking**...what exactly have you been watching since you started watching the MCU because it wasn't the MCU. 😂😂
32:14 because of Covid-19 and the writers' strike all MCU movies and tv show got delayed. There's only one MCU movie coming out in 2024, but I won't spoil the name of it.
U.S. Agent. John Walker. G-man for the government. Most tragic character of my comic book childhood. And im 47yo. Look his story up online if ya wanna see his story, because itll never get put into the MCU.
Thanos was not right. He destroys half of all life because of scarcity of resources, right? Lets ignore the fact that nature regulates itself with the predator-prey relationship and ask yourself: What do people eat? We eat other forms of life. Sure you've killed half the people but you've also destroyed half the food supply (and half the other resources plants and animals provide like clothes, medicines, etc). You're in the same exact place as where you started with regard to resources. And this is ignoring what destroying half of all oxygen producing plants will do to the atmosphere, the water system, the ecology. Basically, this was a writer screw-up. All they had to do was make it "Intelligent Life" instead of just Life. Plus, Thanos could have used the stones to create an entire galaxy filled with resource rich planets and no people, if he wanted to.
Yeah people sadly ignore the obvious logical failings of what Thanos could accomplish with a one-time snap. Let alone other options available which would have worked better.
"Plus, Thanos could have used the stones to create an entire galaxy filled with resource rich planets and no people, if he wanted to." Yeah except the Stones still need to obey the laws of thermodynamics. You can't create matter out of nothing. Also, introducing more resources to a gross overpopulation not only just delays the problem, but accelerates it and makes it a hundred times worse in the end. "Lets ignore the fact that nature regulates itself with the predator-prey relationship" Lets ignore the fact that this doesn't work for Humanity for a couple thousand years by now.
@@CedricBassman That's why I said "intelligent life" is the solution to thanos's logic problem. And there's definitely material that can be altered. In our own solar system, there are several moons of Jupiter and Saturn that could be made into such. The asteroid belt or Venus or Mars could be remade into habitable worlds. Our galaxy is filled with such planets, moons, etc that Thanos could tranform.
@@fortunatus1 Yeah the Intelligent Life would've fixed the Problem. Again, providing a overpopulated Species with even more resources only makes the Problem worse. This experiment was already done with Rats and ended in basically Extinction. And before you say "but we're smarter than rats." No, no we are not. We live a world of complete excess and wasting of resources. More resources won't fix the Problem when we live in a World where people start crying about "muh Freedom!" when you ask them to show a little restraint or consideration for their surroundings.
@@CedricBassman the stones are not bound by the laws of thermodynamics (magic freely breaks the laws of this physical universe) but that isn't a problem anyway. Thanos could have transformed unoccupied planets devoid of life into resource-rich agricultural planets able to sustain entire solar systems for thousands of years. He could have created permanent wormholes/portals between areas that were resource poor and those with abnundance. He could have altered the biology of any species, reducing or eliminating their need to consume as much. He could have changed the gestation periods for reproduction. And what he did (simply reducing the population by half) bought less than 100 years of time. The Earth's population doubled from 4 billion to 8 billion in less than 50 year. So with a one-time snap he's only kicking the can down the road a little.
This isn’t my favourite marvel show. Not even my second favourite. But man that ending scene with Isaiah really gets me every time. It’s about the nicest thing you could do for someone. Immortalizing them. Great great show
Also should probably remember Steve caught Arnim Zola right after Zola had engineered Bucky’s ‘death.’ Zola wasn’t even BRUISED. He had as much motivation as Walker did to do worse than simply capture him.
True, that's a clear statement about Steve's character. He'd be just as angry over Bucky's death, but it was less personal... Zola didn't personally kick him from the train, Bucky just died trying to capture him.
First half is meh, second half is pretty excellent in my opinion. It’s worth watching just for the last episode honestly. The emotional ending is fantastic. It’s a show that progressively gets better. But if you get turned off by episode 1 and 2 I’d understand
@sam & Tristan....there are, A LOT! Of characters that picked up the mantle of either, dead, or retired characters. Falcon was actually Captain America, and so was Bucky
You're missing the point Tristan. The senators have already made up their minds in removing people from property they were able to get during the blip, now those people are being thrown out. Now they should live on the streets, when they had no idea of these people were coming back? Another thing, why are the senators still well off? You're telling me, no government official was blipped, and came back to reclaim the property they once owned before the blip, that wouldn't have any play in the governments decision??
Since you guys brought it up, I suppose it's not a spoiler to say that the next Captain America movie is in post-production and will be coming to theaters in 2025
Damn bro, is your life that fragile that a tv show disturbs you like this? Growing up in the 70’s/80’s as a black kid, I watched everything from Dukes of Hazzard (Confederate flag on display every week) to the Bionic Man, shows i adored. Why is it such a problem to enjoy diverse stories? Legitimate question.
@@mlbrady61exactly. I grew up watching all those shows too with no complaints bit people have a fit over black characters and the injection on some real sh!t
Pls u dont have to react to any movies and shows of Marvel phase-4&5 They all are waste of time they all are trash like shehulk ms marvel even movies like quantumania and love and thunder..after falcon and winter sholdire...u just watch deadpool ans Wolverine without seeing deadpool 1&2 this summer then wait for Avengers 5..ppl will be so upset if u will waste ur time in watching all irrelevant shows and movies just to understand some references in AVENGERS 5 and main movies..
The truth is that although many do not accept it, Sam was chosen correctly by Steve Rogers, he was not looking for a great soldier to be the next Captain America, he just needed a good man to carry that mantle and seeing him dressed as the Captain was very special. 😎😎at the time. I also loved the evolution of Bucky and how he told the truth to Mr. Nakajima was very sad🥺🥺, to close perfectly John Walker showed that within all the bad things he did in the series he was only fulfilling his role and following orders like any great soldier HE IS NOT A BAD PERSON, he just wasn't the right one to carry that mantle.😎
Sam and Joaquin Torres' story continue in Captain America: Brave New World coming on February 14, 2025, and Bucky and John Walker a.k.a. US Agent are in Thunderbolts which comes out May 5, 2025
@@AstroAvenger Everyone keeps saying that, but we haven't noticed from the statistics that anyone is losing interest in the MCU. Sure, some projects didn't have the traffic we'd like, but none of them were failures. However, some projects were created in miserable conditions, when there was not as much supervision over them as there should have been. But we believe in brighter future which will came this month.
@AstroAvenger there was a pandemic, a writers and directors strikes that have delayed a bunch of things, besides a shake up with Marvel behind the scenes.
If you’d stop talking so much guy on the right you’d get answers. People want to see you react to top scenes. Not talk and guess over them and then not show them all the way through if at all.
If Tristan lived in the world of superpeople, he would be in jail in less than a week by punching the current Captain American and stealing his shield that is GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.
I’m kinda late but for context the Nexus anti-depressant commercial is an Easter egg/foreshadowing to how Wanda is a nexus being. In the comics Nexus beings are very rare and have the ability to affect probability and the future. They are also keystones to the stability of the multiverse. The “nexus” term will come back again in Loki
Penultimate episodes are usually the calm before the storm, before shit goes down in the finale. It’s great to seal in the character or arc they’ve been building. This was not addressed but both Steve & Buck made the co-decision to give Sam the mantle. Except they’re from the early 1900s, so in their limited time in this era of the modern world, they have no idea what it would mean for a black man to hold the shield. Sam is a good man, he is perfect as Cap.
I’m sorry but the Captain America is a fake title the American govt came up with and it’s their title to give out. Unlike stolen valor Steve John Walker actually to West Point graduated and became an army officer. He earned the rank of Captain led special forces groups and hostage rescue and he didn’t need performance enhancing drugs to get three medals of honor.
Pls reaction on daredevil series and venom and old spider man movies it helps in "spider man no way home" . And daredevil series help further series like Hawkeye and she hulk
