iariaEpisode 3 - Power Broker
+ Sharon taking on the bounty hunters was awesome. I love the way she fights. It actually reminds me a lot of how Peggy fights and I love that too.
+ I realise that the movies forgot Sharon after Civil War but I didn't realise that the characters did too. The fact that she went on the run and then was forced to stay in exile, even during the Blip, surprised me. I absolutely get her bitterness in that case.
+ Sharon is definitely not telling the whole truth. Her final scene and her having that car waiting was intriguing. My first thought was - is Sharon the Power Broker? She's someone a lot more powerful/connected than she seems.
+ Zemo's a fun character and I'm enjoying him with Sam and Bucky.
+ Ayo was a fun surprise at the end but also a welcome one because I would have found it unbelievable if the Wakandan’s didn’t react.
Episode 4 - The Whole World is Watching
+ "The Dora Milaje have jurisdiction wherever the Dora Milaje find themselves to be." I loved them and their ass-kicking ways. That fight scene was great and a lot of fun.
+ The Bucky/Dora Milaje stuff is short but I loved everything we got. I liked the flashback. I liked Bucky simply watching the fight at first. I loved Ayo taking out Bucky's arm and his betrayed look. I can see both sides of that. The Wakandan's making a fail safe for the arm they made him seems like good sense honestly. But for Bucky what a betrayal.
+ Zemo casually sidling out of the room as the Dora Milaje fight the others made me LOL.
+ I agree with Sam that Karli is sympathetic but wrong. I really like how he's been approaching this situation. That he is so empathetic, that he tried to talk to her and was actually getting through to her, that fighting isn't his first instinct. It's what's going to make him a great Captain America.
+ The moment John isn’t able to remove the spear to retrieve the shield, the shield that makes him Captain America, only for the Dora Milaje to do it (without even having super soldier serum) you can see it in his eyes. His helplessness, his rage, his feeling of inferiority, the shame when he meets Sam’s eyes (who knew the real Cap, who warned him against it.) Hoskin's death is what sets him off, that makes him lose it but it's his reaction here that lays the groundwork, imo. He's not a good Captain America nor a good fit for the super soldier serum
+ I love the sound editing when Hoskin's dies. The way the music and sound cuts out when he smashes into the pillar, the way all the background nose is muted while the soundtrack slowly increases (mirroring Walker's rage).
+ Walker killing Nico using the shield was brutal and hard to watch.
