  • I love comics and the movies based on them. I enjoyed the show, but I recognize it was flawed. My main complaint is that Falcon was the least interesting character, and they were clearly alluding to real life societal problems but fumbled the delivery because the bad guys have to be bad guys. It wasn’t as bad as Secret Wars, but it wasn’t as good as WandaVision, Loki, or Moon Knight.



  • I think we were supposed to have a Kang phase leading up to the Young Avengers. Patriot would almost certainly have been a part of that, and given the time-traveling aspect, I could imagine a time-displaced Eli meeting his grandfather in action.

    Also, as far as Avengers salaries, Sam was blipped and then Tony died like five minutes after he came back. Sam then turned down the job of Captain America. He’s not on anyone’s payroll, and any savings or assets he had would all be distributed to his next of kin. The whole show is about blipped refugees and the effect of displaced people, and Sam was really able to relate to their struggle.

    Edit to add: I’m not defending the show. FatWS was not good. But if anything, I feel like they glossed over the really humanizing parts of the story, trying to provoke thoughts about controversial political issues whilst avoiding making any controversial political statements.
