The tone, the pacing, the vibe of Madripoor definitely shifted some gears in this episode. It all felt so cyberpunk and dangerous. And it was a complete shock to find Sharon there, watching over like a guardian angel in the shadows. Zemo brought his charisma, and Sharon has a bit of a spicier side but... something feels off. With her, with the bigger picture, even with the way Sam and Bucky try to navigate this mess. I don't know exactly what it is just yet, and maybe that's the point. But I can feel it building. There's a dark tension underneath this story. And it seems like the world they're living in right now won't let any of them win cleanly. And I'm not even sure who's on whose side anymore.Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/ex1D37IzvLAI watched this on Disney Plus

This will be a fun episode, as will next week's! I don't want to say anything else. Damn it's hard.

Happy 4th everyone!

Look I'm never one to condone violence, but I have to say I really enjoy how much more brutal the combat scenes have been as compared to the average Marvel so far. It makes the show feel a lot grittier, darker, and heavier in tone, compared to the usual superhero vibes. It also emphasizes a lot about characters current states: Sharon and what she's become, and Bucky's blurred sense between his present and past selves Madripoor was definitely giving me 100% Night City vibes! With a little blend of Omega / Citadel lower levels from ME, with the Shadow/Power Broker references haha

I'm grateful you brought up Ironheart, I'm extremely hopeful you continue watching Marvel projects as I still believe even now with Ironheart and F4 Marvel is getting out of it's dip in quality and I hope you stay with it.

You were a bit quiet during the reaction, as you explained; It's a lot of dialog. But thanks for the truly exceptional post-episode discussion! I'm really enjoying rewatching this with your perspective. You definitely picked more up from it than I did on my first watch through.

Good reaction! Zemo is a lot of fun in this series. Even wore his mask & outfit from the comics. In the comics, his name was Baron Zemo & he is one of the Avengers oldest enemies responsible for assembling a villain team called The Masters of Evil who are basically an evil counterpart to the Avengers but with villains. Madripoor is a location that is often featured in X-Men stories and this was around the time they regained the film rights to the X-Men.

LOL this is amazing but also very very cursed 🤣🤣🤣

To be honest I was actually sympathising with karli a bit like when she was talking about how she wanted to be a teacher it humanised her a bit but blowing up a building with people just proved that she is still very wrong even the other flag smasher was worried when the building blew up but she didn't care. Also this episode had a very John Wick type vibe maybe its the bounty hunters or madripore.

Sharon was listed among the vanished victims in Avengers: Endgame. In truth she survived, but it's not a continuity error. Much like Scott, she simply couldn't be located. The Madripoor scenes were filmed in Atlanta. It made it easier for Emily VanCamp's schedule because she was also working on the Fox medical drama The Resident at the same time. In January 2020, the scenes for Riga, Latvia were originally supposed to be filmed in Arecibo, Puerto Rico as a stand-in. However, they had to film elsewhere due to a series of earthquakes at the time. So they relocated to Prague, where they previously filmed Spider-Man: Far From Home. By the time they started filming there in March of the same year, COVID happened which forced everyone to leave. They had to halt production until October when they were finally able to return. On the bright side, the shutdown allowed them to move along with the post-production. Just a little reminder: Ayo [pronounced Ah-yol (portrayed by Florence Kasumba) who appears on the last scene of episode 3 is the same Dora Milaje who appeared in Civil War. She was also in a couple of scenes in Black Panther 2018. And just like in Civil War, Daniel Brühl also portrayed Zemo for the German dub. I don’t know if anyone told you this, but he speaks several languages including Spanish and Catalan because his mother is from Spain.
