Honestly I think it sets a good precedent too. Not all tv has to be the ongoing season after season format. They can do a fixed length high quality story, and then just do another one in the universe if they want to print more money rather than having an ongoing series.

Splash Attack posted:feels like something they would do a big movie about, not a tv series that you can only watch on disney plus, I think Disney is planning on having a high profile serial show running on plus weekly for the foreseeable future. They want people to subscribe and not leave the service ever when they finish one series they want to watch.

Sooooo Gunna start this post with an explanation and a definition: Revolutionary romanticism. So we all believe in myths. Sometimes those myths get broken by a variety of things. One response to to the breaking of these myths is to attempt to reconstruct them. To look back to broken origin and make up a story that attempts to replace the broken myth. This is always incoherent (because the myth to be replaced was broken, incoherent). Fascism is a revolution romanticism ( that’s what blood and soil are) That’s fundamentally what Wanda is doing. Reconstructing a past that never really existed and that is fundamentally always false.

So thinking about something. Wanda and Vision were going to live in Westview. She will never have what he wanted for them and everyone there hates, hates, her with a burning passion for the hex when she leaves. She can’t really ever go back. I don’t think that’s nothing as a consequence.

Harlock posted:It's fun having the discussion about the morality of the Marvel heroes when Falcon murders like 10 dudes in violent ways of the first 5 minutes into the series. Some people make a moral distinction between soldiers killing as soldiers in combat actions and killing by other people. The validity of that distinction is certainly up for debate. Pretending that it isn’t a widespread distinction made by very large portions of the public isn’t. Look at it terms of Cap. Is it okay for soldiers to kill nazis? Once you say yes to that, there are situations where it is moral for states to have soldiers kill certain people and the question becomes which people.

He is a similar thing to what Wanda was constructing in the last series. Wanda was fabricating a romantic narrative to restore a false past and forcing it on others. John Walker is a fabricated incoherent romantic narrative with no connection to origin.

notthegoatseguy posted:But is he really an rear end in a top hat at this point? We don't see him be an rear end in a top hat until Bucky and Sam brush him off for like the 6th time. Yes. The lack of empathy is why. A not rear end in a top hat would recognize what he was was walking into interacting with Sam and Bucky. Also “targeting civilians”. He is exceptional talented, smart, competent, charismatic, and deeply insecure. The type of person explicitly rejected for the original serum. That isn’t his fault though and he’s trying to do his best so he is sympathetic and human. He doesn’t completely deserve their scorn. I think the real contrast to Roger is that Rodgers never gave up on other people. He has given up because his feelings were hurt a few times.

My money is in the empathy playing out in the flag smashers story line. I bet Sam and Bucky are going to be empathetic to them after some story point. Walker isn’t.

sticklefifer posted:I won't be sold until John Walker gets a chance to draxx them sklountz. Lol Good literature film and television deals with the lived questions of its audience. That your response to a show doing that, is to respond in this way is not interesting commentary on the show, it is instead a window into you and what questions you think do not matter.

Captain America is what America thinks of America. To take that symbolic representation seriously the show’s topic fundamentally cannot escape race and its relationship with what we collectively think America is. Would you rather they halfassed it?

In the credits (like 47:23 or 47:24) very quickly an image with “individuals” made to stand out in the text, is followed by another image text with “ won’t save us” made to stand out.

Phenotype posted:but without the serum he feels like he's gonna have the same problem as John Walker did: he's a regular human way over his head in a world full of demi-gods and monsters, and he's not skilled enough to handle even human martial arts experts like the Dora Milaje or Batroc. That’s why they had the: he push’s the truck back up onto the scaffolding scene. With all the serumed up folks watching stunned.

I think that both shows are attempting to make all the characters complicated. People are trying to then reconcile complicated with the more traditional clearly defined good/bad archetypes. The thesis of show, Sam’s viewpoint, is that we should use our empathy to navigate this complexity, rather than resorting to simplistic thinking and violence.

Azhais posted:this show takes place six months after endgame. The GRC had to be thrown up overnight to deal with the fallout of 4 billion displaced people and there's no way they had anything even vaguely resembling reasonable staffing. The fact that a warehouse in the middle of Latvia had medicine that could have been distributed is a minor logistical miracle. In the past I’ve used the story of the cursed fig tree to try to explain the anger of marginal people. To explain this : “Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.” The failure of a system to bear fruit when people are hungry is not excused by the fact that it isn’t the season for figs. People who are marginal or have been marginal get this immediately. People who have not been marginal don’t seem to. They waffle about the interpretation and focus on explaining away the failure.

Comrade Fakename posted:So yeah, they could use some constitutional reform. The other side of this is that the breaking of traditions and connections to origin with reason is a fundamental action of modernity and capitalism. I’m not applying good or bad to this, it could be either in a given situation. But it is definitely what western enlightenment based thought does and it is to impose that on another fictional culture.

Sanguinia posted:Was thinking more along the lines of Renaissance Art than the actual Bible. Yeah it definitely was referencing this. The image was an Angel descending combined with a pieta. It’s explicit not implicit what the place of each of the characters are in the imagery. Karli is where one finds Jesus in the imagery, which implies really interesting things. If they follow up on it and it’s so explicit that I have a hard time thinking they won’t.

Bust Rodd posted:This was a show about symbolism, it wasn’t a show about meaningful systemic change. That’s why Isaiah’s monument is so important, it doesn’t write any of the wrongs, it just allows him to exist and be a symbol to other black men, like Sam. Changes in symbolism can break theonomies. And we know there is more story coming. That be a real interesting thing to explore (symbolic change vs material systemic change ).
