'Shindig'
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
I hope they can do some good and interesting things because right now it could just be a slightly longer MCU movie cut into chunks, and that seems like a damn shame.
Yeah, the fight scenes are the least interesting bit for me. I'm loving the "civilian" interactions, though, and I especially loved how Bucky's therapist appointment was shot.
Here are our reactions to the first episode:
Me: "Is that Batroc the Leaper? From Winter Soldier?" [checks IMDB] "That IS Batroc the Leaper!" Tim: "So...no one stays in jail any more?"
Tim: "Damn, Bucky is HOT with short hair." Me: "You're just now figuring that out?" Tim: "Shut up; I'm into it."
Me: "Oh, Sam. If you had watched Buffy you'd know you were never, ever going to get that loan."
Agreed, juliana
You and Tim are not wrong about any of that, Tep (although I had to google Batroc and am sure I will forget again in 5 minutes).
M was SO EXCITED about George St. Pierre (the MMA fighter turned actor) coming back as Batroc. Also, I hopehopehope there's another showdown between Batroc & Cap (but with Sam as Cap), and Batroc taunts him again, and Sam!Cap is having none of that. They will never get to "On va voir", because Sam will shoot him ASAP, a la Indiana Jones.
I was mostly confused about how the hell Rhodey got healed from his injuries, and why is he seemingly still active duty after said injuries.
I was just so pleased to see Don Cheadle I forgot all about that!

I 100% assumed he was wearing the Stark Assistive Leg Technology under his pants.
Yeah, we saw as of Infinity War Stark had functional nanotech armor, I bet Rhodey has some sort of malleable lower body brace/exoskeleton that's form-fitting enough to be unnoticeable under clothes.
I forgot about Rhodey 's injuries as well.
I kept thinking Torres was going to die. I liked most of the opening action but it went on too long.
It feels like TFATWS has too many moving parts.
