Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
FYI a brief mid-credits scene in ep 5. I guess their thing is going to be to have them in the last 2 eps.

I liked the first episode, but every episode since has been slightly worse, in my opinion.
2020. Meh.

I think that's fair comment. There's an obvious end-point to the narrative, and the show has been all about reaching that end-point, rather than about the story itself. It's a necessary prequel for phase IV of the MCU. It is a shame that Disney insisted on all of Marvel's IP be subject to their deal, they could have left some minor characters with Netflix and we could have had some decent (at least in comparison) storytelling, as well as these shiny 5 hour long movie trailers

This is my favorite MCU since Black Panther. No accounting for taste I suppose.

▼Spoiler I agree 100%, it should just be an intriguing plot point that one guy that happens to be white has fallen down a dark path while another guy that just happens to be black is staying true to his morals....but with all the woke anti-white male political propaganda being forced down our throats, especially from Disney lately, I just rolled my eyes and was even going to turn it off. Its really put a sour taste in my mouth for the whole thing. Disney, for the love of god, just tell good stories and leave the political crap to politicians

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
I bet some people complained about anti-virtue propaganda when the first movie showed a couple kissing and others complained about anti-Christian propaganda when the first movie showed a gay couple holding hands... etc. etc.

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
I personally did not complain for about a year - now it has became so incredibly stupid, you are watching superheroes show and bam, for 30 minutes some bitches are crying about their skin color. About gays I'm playing a game - in what episode will be the first gay/lesbian (since 3% of population now is represented in almost every TV show made in USA). Their choice is to do this, my choice is to rate 1 and not participate. But this "they won't allow black captain America" is nothing compared to this: https://next-episode.net/chad - this is a whole new level of stupid (Spot on comment: A new bar has been set for the garbage they will allow on television)

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
IMHO it's a bit silly to rate a good show 1/10 just because they over-represent the gay/lesbian population... They were not shown in movies/ shows at all for a long time, I don't care if they are over-represented now.

Sorry, this is the comment of someone who is either 1)a racist themself, or 2)too thick to understand the pernicious AND CONTINUING effects racism has had over the last 360yrs on anyone not white. Either way, it is revolting.

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
or 3) Could not care less about your effects in an imaginary superheroes world - if I would want to hear about it, I would watch some documentary about slavery or alike And force feeding that indeed is revolting. Not to mention that these shows are sold outside USA and these are pure USA problems. Show after show I'm thinking I will be watching one thing, but it turns out it has some intelligence insulting brainwashing inserts - and you can virtue signal all you want, but it still will not be what I wanted to watch (non-political ass kicking silly superheroes, did not even paid an attention to the race until bs part started).

Yup - I have dropped so many shows because we are being force fed woke agendas. Just let me enjoy my shows without bringing politics, sexual orientation, skin colour, religion and the like. Shows have all become a lecture on how the right wings are racists and evil. Just let me enjoy good old TV and drop all the side crap.

Force feeding? No, just reflecting the real world we live in. Super-hero Comic books (and, by extension, most of the TV shows and movies that have come from them) have always been political. Always. Racism, misogyny, nationalism, sexuality, gender identification, communism v capitalism, if there is a political battle going on in the real world, you'll find it reflected in comic books and the popular TV shows & movies of the day. Did you really not spot the real story being explored in X-Men with the whole mutants v humans thing? Seriously? If you didn't, you cant have much of an intelligence to insult.

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
I agree, sick and tired of every show having homosexuals or transgenders, focus on skin color and politics, and portraying every woman as strong and independent while finding new ways to piss on white males. If it has something to do with the plot or even remotely enhance the plot in a positive way sure, bring all that jazz, but leave it the F. out if it doesn't.

Why do you think forced sexual/gender/political/race diversity is a positive thing in series/movies? Explain so even a snowflake would understand please.

Interesting that you feel it’s forced.. You mentioned earlier it’s fine if it has a point. I suppose the inverse is also true? If it doesn’t affect the plot every charachter could be gay/poc/trans/...? At least not just white straight males, right?

Re: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier [Action, Adventure, Drama]
This show is as boring as all Captain America comic books and movies, but I'll keep watching because I like the production value and fight choreography. Wandavision was way better. Sam and Sarah's social inequality issues are both, too realistic and too heavy handed politically that it takes me out of the escapism I need to enjoy a superhero story. Karli Morgenthau's storyline annoys me, because the anti-hero terrorist is a derivative villain that's been done to death.
