I keep calling The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Falcon and the Snowman. Regarding episode two, I deeply appreciate Bucky's hatred of new Captain America. The writers are brilliant and utterly transparent in their brilliance. It was going to be difficult to accept anyone but Chris Evans as Cap. I am not spoiled for anything and have not read the comics, but it seems pretty clear that this is a temporary Cap, who might even be a villain, so I'll be utterly relieved when either Sam or Bucky picks up the shield. Meanwhile, I can just enjoy Bucky's cathartic snark.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

I have that same association, Cindy. I barely remember that movie, but it had a good title.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
TF&TWS: I am prepared for the Flagsmashers to go either way, either they're willing to go all Thanos methods for their agenda, or they're going to be crushed by the Actual Bad Guys , and be at worst a sympathetic antagonist.
I liked how they name-checked White Wolf , which seems like it very well may end up with both Falcon and Winter Soldier no longer being those things by the end of the series.

It's the Bird Guy and Old Man show.

-t, I don't even think I saw that movie, but I remember the title. Maybe Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn were in it.

I'll allow it. Also anything Bird-ish PLUS anything Cold-ish. The Eagle and the Yeti? Why not. The Sparrow and the Skier? Sure.
Debet, I kept feeling like a lot of the flag smashers were more or less akin to idealistic Bernie supporters and that they're being exploited by Actual Bad Guys

Definitely Sean Penn, Timothy Hutton could be right. I saw it in the theater but that was a long time ago.
I feel like not having seen Solo is getting in the way of my fully appreciating FatWS. That’s unexpected.
I am more prepared to like the Flag Smashers than Cap 1.1, but I’m still half expecting Torres to be evil. I just don’t know about anyone.

Well, I would tune in just to watch Bucky snark. I'd like to set him loose in other TV series, to just be all, "Nope!" at everything I didn't like.

I can't remember a goddamn thing about Solo, other than Donald Glover was fangoddamntastic as Lando Calrissian. And Phoebe Waller-Bridge was awesome as the robot.

Plus they totally bonded over it and now they're doing a remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie spy movie).

Maybe they'll address this (checks watch...) today, but I want to get this off my chest. Why would he know "everything about Hydra"? He wasn't interested in Hydra! All he cared about was the Avengers!
