Sam becoming Captain America on his terms was UP THERE with powerful moments I've seen in the MCU. Not just because of the suit and shield (although🔥) but because of his speech. He held up a mirror to power and challenged everyone to be better. Lead with empathy. See and feel the people they represent. Even John Walker's arc, messy and insane as it was, said something about ego and entitlement and what happens when we chase after symbols without really understanding. I still don't trust him, but I get why he is the way he is.The Flag Smashers' storyline was a bit all over the place for me, honestly. But I felt Karli's pain and fire. They made the entire story what it really was- One World, One People. Flawed, brave, broken and healing people. It asked all of the hard questions and didn't try to wrap them up in neat little bows. They exposed it for what it is. And that's what made this entire series so beautiful. See you all in SPIDER-MAN films next as I take a break from the MCU timeline for a bit! Thank you everyone for joining me in this adventure so far!! Y'all are truly amazing and I hope you stick around for more on this detour! 💛Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/BOALZWnutbcI watched this on Disney Plus

Nice wrap-up! While I didn't like this show as much as WandaVision, I really liked all the important themes and powerful messages they were trying to tackle. At the end of the day, we ALL desire mankind to be united and at peace but everyone has their unique idea on how to achieve that. This show explored a lot of of those ideas and showcased their strengths and weaknesses very well. You always have a great attention span, so what might seem like a "long" speech to some, to you it's a chance to really dig into what the writers and characters are trying to convey and then you always have a poignant takeaway. That's why we watch!

Warning: Long comment. Lol. In my opinion, this is a show that had some great ideas, but mostly fell flat in the execution of them. My main issue was (what I saw as) the constant gaslighting of John Walker. It feels like the show wants us to see him as some asshole unworthy of the title of Captain America (and granted, he is certainly no Steve Rogers), but while I don't think he always took the best course of action, his actions always seemed very understandable and human to me, and I didn't like the way Sam & Bucky kept treating him (especially since they broke Zemo - a known terrorist - out of prison). When he tries to save the civilians in the final episode, it's portrayed as a moment of redemption, but it didn't feel that way to me, because I felt like he was always trying to do the right thing, so I was just like, "yeah, of course he would do that..." And then there's the Flag Smashers... I really like the concept behind them - the idea of a group of people who liked the way things were during the Blip is really interesting to me. Unfortunately, again, I think they fell flat in their execution. They're clearly meant to be portrayed as sympathetic villains, and Sam (and the writers) keep treating them with kid gloves, but given their actions and the amount of people they killed, I found it hard to be all that sympathetic to them. Also, the way Sam told the Senators to "do better" without offering any solutions of his own, just rubbed me the wrong way... Basically, I left this show feeling kind of annoyed with Sam, which I don't WANT to be because I LIKE Sam... That's not so say there weren't things I liked about it though. I liked Bucky's journey in trying to atone for his crimes as the Winter Soldier; I loved that they brought Zemo back and kept true to how his character was portrayed in Civil War - any scene with him in it, I loved; and I did really like the character of John Walker (despite the gaslighting being done to him by both the characters and the writers). He was probably the most complex and interesting character in the show.

.

My favourite part of this episode was finally seeing Sam, Bucky and John working together and being a functional team instead of fighting/arguing the whole time lol. And finally seeing John debut as US Agent was pretty cool too. Also a tip for your detour: if you can start daredevil as soon as possible that would be great since its 40 episodes long it would take 20 weeks for you to finish it if you watch 2 a week and 40 if you watch 1 a week. Maybe you can start daredevil on the side and watch the xmen/spiderman movies side by side with it. See you next week for Spiderman!!

.

Fully agree especially about the Walker part

Malcolm Ferguson

Daredevil is one of my favourite shows (and I don't just mean Marvel shows). I can't wait to see her react to it.

.

Yeah for sure one of the best shows in general not just marvel/superheros

Lastboyscout73

I loved this series too. Sharon Carter being the Power Broker upset a lot of people/fans though. It's a far departure from the comics. I have mixed feelings about it, considering she's the niece of Peggy Carter. Overall, I don't care that much. It was also a good series to see what the world might look like after the blip and everyone came back. It has a lot of deep thinking involved.

I’m excited for the Spider-Man reactions! You’re gonna be happy to finally learn more about the lore of the character, his origin, & iconic characters from the comics because Tom Holland’s films tried to do their own thing instead of redoing the things that the other Spidey movies already did so it’s gonna be fun for you to see it. Also I do want to ask if it was in your list but I recommend watching the first two Venom movies before watching Spider-Man: No Way Home. They’re fun flicks that I think you’ll enjoy & are Spidey related. I say watch them after finishing Andrew Garfield’s Spidey films. :)

Matthew

There is something that I think gets missed when considering the people who have taken the serum. We hear the words "the serum just makes someone more of who they were". We see the results in terms of super strength, speed, agility, endurance etc.. But what doesn't get talked about much is that its not just a physical transformation. All of their emotional responses are heightened as well. They also feel things like Sadness, Fear, Anger, Grief at a super human level. This is not an excuse for the bad actions taken by Bucky, Walker or Karli, but it does offer more insight in how difficult it would be to control those emotions, especially for Walker and Karli who have only recently taken the serum. Its another reason why Zemo was right that anyone who takes the serum is too dangerous. It takes an incredible amount of character and self control to be able to contain those emotions. There will never be another Steve Rogers. Thanks again for your thoughtful reactions Kali, I know it takes time and effort to do these reactions and I appreciate your hard work.

The Amazing Webhead

Good reaction! Sam becoming Captain America was great! It was something that happened in the comics by the 2010’s. I like how even though Thanos is gone, he’s presence is still felt in the universe that his actions inspired the Flag smashers to do these things. Now you see John Walker as U.S Agent. In the comics, after Steve became Captain America again, John took on the role of U.S Agent & became an anti-hero. He still goes to do the right thing like saving lives but unlike Steve, John is willing to do things if needed to be done like killing criminals for a mission.

TheGuy

Yea! C'mon Spidey! Can't wait to see them all.

TheGuy

In all fairness, not everyone watches for that. Personally, I avoid reactors' intros and recaps because I'm here for the reaction, not the commentary. Honestly, if a reactor only gave the usual involuntary "Wows" or similar reactions you'd hear in a theater, I'd be fine with that. There's a clear difference between reaction and commentary. Most reactions are physical—facial expressions, body language, gasps, or an occasional "oh shit." I’m not against commentary; it’s just not what I’m here for. So, I skip the intros and stop watching when the movie ends. I don’t need the afterthoughts or takeaways. But, of course, that’s just me.

I'm 100% with you on Walker and how they really painted his image red from the start. I had red flags up immediately and didn't really start to feel empathy for him until the very end when they finally unleashed his past and why he is the man he is. That definitely should have started off that way, but I guess it's painted this way so that the viewer is angry immediately at Sam for letting the shield go. I definitely agree tho! And same exact feelings about the Flag Smashers as well! I think you're not wrong in saying that they had a ton of great ideas for this series, but some of them were lost in translation or fell flat. It's disappointing to see, but I still enjoyed this series overall! Even just for Bucky's arc alone 💛

kaliwali

I'm not opposed to the idea of watching Daredevil alongside Spiderman/Xmen/Batman films! I'll see what I can do, but no promises just yet. I'm sitting down with my schedule this weekend so I'll let you all know what's up soon! I know we are finishing a lot up this week and moving into new things which is exciting!

The Dingo

Hero: does the right thing for the right reasons. Villain: does the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. Antihero: does the wrong thing for the right reasons. John Walker is an antihero. Another thought - there is a fan theory (one that I subscribe to) is that when Bucky freed the people from the burning van and the man thanks Bucky, that was the FIRST time anyone has thanked him - it was the first time that Buck felt like a hero. And Cap's speech at the end: EPIC. I loved watching this reaction with you. Thank you for letting us join you on this journey, yet again. PS - when you return to the MCU, don't forget "What If...?" Season 1. It will be a fun recap of the MCU to date (that will make sense when you see it) and a good way to launch into a lot of new heroes and adventures!

To me, the central 'villain' in this series was Sam and Bucky's own demons. And everything they've carried with them. Which is why I kind of appreciate how messy and gray the rest of the people they were up against were. Flag Smashers, Walmart Cap, Sharon, and all the rest just served as opportunities for those two to finally accept who they are and be able to move forward into a brighter future. Really enjoyed this watch along with you! This show definitely wasn't afraid to get real, and touch on a lot of difficult topics, and I love it for that. Looking forward to some Spider-Man next!

You know, I really wish that people would talk about this show a lot more than the other shows. And this is not to speak ill of the other shows, but I connected with this one a lot more than most of them. Since Captain America was my favorite Avenger, I have always been more invested into his part of the universe, and seeing Sam and Bucky grow in the way that they have has been the best thing. Dealing with their issues with their own lives and even with each other has been so awesome. I feel like everything in this series has stayed true to each of these characters, and the conversation of racism and government cover-ups has been right on point. It does feel weird watching people react to the show because when I first saw it, I understood immediately why Sam gave up the shield. Before the show gave me the context, I could feel where it was going. Which is why the Isaiah Bradley conversation/standpoint stuck with me a lot. This series also helped me realize something that I would have never really thought about. I don't think I personally would have been able to take up the shield and probably would have done the same thing in Sam's shoes, but the thing that Sam came to realize that helped me was about the irony of his right to fight. When he said that we built this country and he had a right to fight for it because of that (pain and sacrifice), it really changed the way that I looked at all of this. Because of history, I do feel a way towards America and the way that my people are treated, and I always thought that if I were to fight it would strictly be for my people and not for the country itself. The series helped me realize that that does not have to be true. I can fight for both. The last point I would like to bring up is about Walker himself. This one is a weird one because of my personal feelings with Walker. I have seen the actor in prior things to this role, which has made me really appreciate him, and honestly, I love his father ,Kurt Russell (who plays Starlord's biological father, Ego in Guardians2). With that being said, I am fully aware that Walker is definitely an unhinged character, but I was able to see his willingness to try to be the best that he could be. He started off his humble as he could, but the ego was too much. I felt like the series itself was panning too much to his comic book character, which is more ass to the villain role when they wanted to play him up as an anti-hero. I couldn't take the villainous parts as serious because of the editing. It just felt like they were trying to hammer down the point, "Hey, this guy is DARK." That didn't quite work for me, so I was glad for him to have turned heel in the last episode. You could see from the beginning that he had some good in him. I also loved the fight in episode 5, leading into him working with them in the last episode because I feel that it is the perfect portrayal of how males work. Guys can literally get into a physical fight with each other and somehow become friends after the fact. It's like a weird dynamic that has yet to be addressed when it comes to male friendships. And this is not to say that Bucky and John are now friends. But that heel turn just doesn't feel as weird the more I think about it when I compare it to my real-life friendships. Wow, this is long, lol. Either way, thank you so much, Kali, for another great series reaction!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾 I am excited for the Spider-Man moviesssss!!!! The Sam Raimi trilogy is the BEST, haha!!! Hope you have a wonderful night! I will see you in the next one

Paul Wright

I second the Venom movies as well. Maguire and Garfield are amazing actors at their respective Spidey roles. Looking forward to your reactions.

Phil Stubblefield

Great reaction, as usual, Kali! (I almost typed "Karli" just then, and then did a double take when realizing that your name is only one letter off! 🤔) And, as usual, I needed some tissues at the end. My dad and my cousin always cried so easily that they joked about being hired out as funeral mourners, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... 😭

Aldo Gonzales

Kali, you’re not missing much with Venom. The SSU left a lot to desire. SSU stands for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

Aldo Gonzales

Kali, you’re not obligated to do Daredevil – at least not yet. Take your time with that. I should also tell you right now that you’re not obligated to do all of Marvel Netflix on camera. The quality is very up and down. However, what these people are forgetting to nominate above all else is Agents of SHIELD. Yes it’s longer so I’m definitely not asking you to start it soon, but we cannot forget what got the ball rolling. Without the weekly success of our agents, we wouldn’t even have Daredevil.

Aldo Gonzales

Anthony Mackie practiced his speech over the phone for hours with the show’s creator and head writer Malcolm Spellman. They wanted to make sure it was properly executed on scene. This leads up to Anthony Mackie having his own Captain America movie called Brave New World. It was previously titled New World Order. It was recently added to Disney Plus, but you still got a ways to go. I won’t specify how, but this show is also connected to Thunderbolts which recently made it to digital. Again you’re not quite there yet, but despite the recent strikes heavily delaying production it turned out to be a great film too. But the time you’re caught up you’ll find it on Disney Plus as well. In the meantime this is pretty much a given, but Ayo and the Dora Milaje will return in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The Amazing Webhead

To be fair, there’s isn’t much of a universe since there was no crossover lol. But I would never recommend the rest of the SSU Morbius, Kraven, or Madame Web lol. Venom at least cause there’s some fun in them despite not masterpieces lol.

.

Yeah I didn't mean it like that I didn't mean she's obligated to do daredevil I just meant if she wants to it may be better to start it soon as its long. About Agents of SHIELD I haven't watched that but have heard great things about it so it definitely would be cool to watch it for a first time with Kali and the community.

Jake Follain

What do we call someone that does the right thing for the wrong reasons?

Jake Follain

Daredevil is arguably the best MCU show, which as you have found out is say something. It was made before Disney Plus was a thing and back when MCU shows were made by Netflix and they were kept separate from the main MCU timeline besides the odd reference. It wasn't until relatively recently that Disney were able to put it on their streaming service.

The Dingo

I haven't figured that one out yet LOL Let me know if you do!

Ventena

This may be a bit late, but I think you may have misunderstood the timeline of the serum a bit. The serum was first invented by Dr. Erskin in Germany when he first unintentionally created Red Skull. It was then used for the second time on Steve Rodgers, but due to Erskin's assassination and the loss of the last serum vial, the formula was lost, and they spent the next couple decades trying to recreate the formula using Steve's blood they took from him before his sacrifice in WW2. Then after Steve was lost, the SSR became Shield, and Hydra formed inside it. This is when scientists like Dr. Zola would have been recruited, and this was also about the time that the Korean War was beginning and when Isaiah Bradley and his fellow Black troops were being experimented on with versions of the serum derived from Cap's blood, though "tetanus shots." Finally, of course, the serum worked again with Isaiah Bradley, but the US government, or Hydra, or honestly both, ended up locking Isaiah Bradley up in prison for, if you remember, the same thing Steve did in the 40s: disobeying orders to save prisoners behind enemy lines. And finally, of course, there in prison, he was experimented on for another 30 years. So all in all, Steve really couldn't have done anything about Isaiah Bradley, but America did use his blood to experiment on him, so it is his legacy too by virtue of blood or by the flag he carries on his chest.

Great idea watching all the spiderman movies before you continue the MCU journey. I know there are a lot of TV shows in the multiversal phase of the MCU. Disney asked Kevin Feige to make a lot of streaming content for Disney+. As a result, many people experienced fatigue because they had to watch a lot of TV shows and movies to keep up. I heard Kevin Feige is going to cool it on the TV shows for the Mutant phase of the MCU. Also, there were a lot of people that did not like the female superheroes. Personally, I enjoyed She Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Echo quite a bit. I think you will as well.
