ng that he's incorporating But then you can also Related to ptsd stuff, but it's gonna be a little bit tough Say we do establish that a couple of these people are children or at least Teenages and like bucky lays out the plan and he just like casually says like, you know, we can Knock out three of them from before any of them even realize or maybe uses a word a little bit more like I don't know if it executes a bit take them out or something.  I think this is the only time they do that Yeah, they they market this is like a buddy cop thing, but it's not really a buddy cop thing at all No, um frustrating too But yeah, so begins Be seen that is there's so many issues with it. It's really hard to talk about at all The uh, they see that the truck really is difficult Um, and this took a while for me to get notes on because I was just having to rewatch it noticing more and more So what we see is there are two trucks and people getting into the back of them And they conclude after scanning that there's three in one truck in the back And the that's fine. They're just in there, I guess, but there's one truck There's a little girl sitting down. Oh, well person sitting down. I have no idea And they're like that could be a hostage. So they immediately like assault the trucks and wouldn't you think like But why was carly back there? Just like well, um Just hanging out. I don't necessarily take that much issue with that There is some logic in putting your one person with the contraband with the stuff to make sure You know, just keep an eye on it. I don't know. Okay. Okay, but she just appears though Yes, she's just sitting there. She's not Yeah, when red wing Yeah, when red wing first analyzes the whole area, she's not there And then suddenly when he analyzed red wing analyzes it again. She's suddenly there She's that evil smile to be like he he I'm the bad guy You are you are right about that. The first scan doesn't show where the second hand does so apparently she climbed in there With no restraints. Oh, that's because red wing scans for souls Oh Yeah, they would have seen her get in is kind of where I was going with that and they know that she's not a hostage But we can't have that because it wouldn't make any sense with how everything else plays out So knowing there's a hostage in there, right? Let's treat it as that if I were with these guys I'd be like we need to find out where these go because they might have more hostages And that means we know where the HQ is and we know where the other ones are And then bucky goes no, I am all guns blazing. I wish to jump on there and rip the doors off and pull them out And I'd be like that's insane. That's on a highway. There's so many things that could go wrong We don't even know who all these people are what they can do Bucky you're acting a little strange, dude Again, what's wrong? What's going on with you? Yeah, what's going on? Someone has an attack of the dum-dums and so They don't do that nor do they tag these If you remember in the opening of civil war, um, he says sam tagged the garbage truck because they think that something's going wrong Was it something's up with the garbage truck? Basically They don't attach any trackers or any any signal at all to these things and by the way by the time we reached the walker getting here They established they've lost them.  They're two enormous red trucks. You had a helicopter I don't think it's gonna be that hard to find them and like satellites and in theory How how much of the u.s military should be aware of this and they must have license plates, right? Yeah, yeah, and sam of course They just give up because they crashed it's like why not just fly back and get back into the fight But they just don't this is like batwoman logic, you know, uh, they just let the bad guy get away Even though they could stop them.  It's like no, well, they're gone. Which right I can't quite make out if they have license plates, but if they don't then they get them pulled over, right? Yep Oh, yeah, it doesn't work either way. Sorry, but uh, yeah, so you read this is how we're gonna do this scene rewind again Right without those are all problems. But now we go back again. So The trucks that they see leave the first selection has a whole bunch of people in the back The second one has one girl in the back and falcon starts running after them Then I mean weird happens They switch positions the trucks the one with all the people that was in the front is now at the back And the one with the girl in the front is now in the front Don't know why that happened um So like that shouldn't be happening anyway, but it does I think they were on a I think they run a A passing lane Meaning what?   That was one I like the idea of road humor. It's like what what exactly is right? Oh, you know Well, you know, maybe if you don't know it's you know, it's it's a you know I I have some sense of idea. I'm just I'm trying to keep it elusive for all those people who don't understand how roads work Those non-adults people Like you. Yeah So If that wasn't weird enough cw macaw bucky gets in front of one of the trucks to jump on the second one now First thing we thought when watching this was whoa bucky. They can see you There's a driver They probably got comms. Yeah Instinctively goes into Rather than like letting them see you because they could send more people it's just like It's such a weird plan of attack. It's an immediate catastrophe. He's gone for the wrong truck That's got more risk, but he turned out to be in the right truck But he doesn't alert the other driver somehow apparently he can't really tell I guess the driver's just like what's that guy with the arm doing? That's kind of strange how a guy just sort of like flew in while we were driving down Is opening up the truck in front of me with my friends in it. That's weird Some leather bar douchebag is in one of my trunks. Who should I do?  Jesus. What do you mean? Is this is code for something? The cold soldier. What does this mean? Um, so rewind again, right? Because that's how this works. Okay Falcon can fly. I don't know if you guys knew this. I want to make sure we have this established He runs out uh lucky falcon flies out and you have this shot right here. It's a very important shot I'm going to make sure everyone can see so two trucks Falcon's already above both of them Lucky is yet to catch up with the one in front We have a scene that's about another two minutes before the fight begins and then about Three or something before falcon shows back up falcon just disappears Despite the fact that he should be moving faster than everybody There is no reason for this outside of trying to build tension for the fact that bucky could get Something bad happened to him and falcon will do his hero entrance.   Is he just a coward? What's happening? I You would think that you would think that red wing would be there like the recon thing from the beginning And then they but the both of them together would be nearby ready to make a move or Prepping an ambush or yeah, red wing would use a scan to see what's inside the you know truck and stuff Such a shame Such a shame So yeah, um, we've almost I think that's about it for the Before anything happens problems. So now things start to happen. Unfortunately Lucky opens it up And this is just a point against carly, but I honestly think she's like satan in this tv show So whatever but the show isn't aware of it You're in the back of this truck.  Oh like I found the hostage. Are you okay? That's all you've got and she tries to kill him Thank you for saving me It's insane and it would have shown so much of her intelligence if she said something like that like oh, thank god You've come uh, you know who sent you? How did you know about this? And he'd be like, you know Yeah, just do whatever you can and then but once it's too late you then reveal but instead she does this like evil smile Like she relishes this is what I mean about like how she shocked that lamar died.  Um But scenario two she knows who the winter soldier is in which case Wouldn't she just be thoroughly curious as to why he's here Like what's yeah, it's like.  We've been like found. We've been discovered.  Who is this guy? He's not attacking me on site. So he must not know who I am That's weird.  I don't know what they thought they were doing What emotion she's From his from like an entertainment perspective, I think what the the creators were going for is like, ah, things aren't what they seem But boom, she's actually a bad guy and then the audience goes. Whoa, that was shocking. Oh my goodness But you have to consider it Ignoring those fuckers in the audience. Okay.   She is evil right before she knocks him back You can see the uh the truck Nobody there Hmm. Hmm and then boom boom He's like, oh boy. Lucky. I go. Oh Looks like there's some people there I don't know how that happened. It looks like they teleported up there. Just just in case this happens. Um I would I would be very forgiving of this if the rest of the stuff in this that didn't happen.  I can't I can't imagine the one from winter soldier or civil war would would accept this I just don't think you would like that kid. It just wouldn't be able to have it They pick him up by his arm and then just like hold him while punching him And he's just like, oh Oh, you got me.  I know someone's gonna be like, well, they're super soldiers. It's like, I don't care But they are just regular people that have been dosed with the super soldier serum So they're stronger. Yeah, but they don't have combat experience whereas he's got decades of it It's like even if you're outmatched strength wise, you must be able to use that to your advantage His vibranium arm is going to be able to do something Yeah, like getting punched by that.  Here's a reference. Yeah, that would shatter all the bones in your face Yeah, when uh, when he goes to stab cap with his Vibranium arm in winter soldier cap manages to sort of hold it for a moment And then there's like this sort of sense of it being charged up or really pushed and then cap like can't hold it It comes into him and he has to dodge it basically like it overpowers him.  It makes no sense how she survived It makes no sense why redwing got within grabbing distance when it has a firearm Redwings just as dumb as everyone else. I guess and also can fly Uh, it makes absolutely no sense, but No, I did She's a she's a kid who wanted to be a teacher. She wanted to be a teacher She's got zero, but now she's like better than winter soldier She goes toe to toe with like everybody in the show several times And what was she before this she was just like some National kind of person. She was just like a refugee. I think she Yeah, I think she she wasn't like any kind of aid worker or government person or anything She was just a refugee that's uh got taken in by someone Well, she was taken in by uh, Sharon and apparently she worked for her for a little bit But then she was like, I don't want to take over the world. I want to change it. That's the difference between those two apparently By the way, if you want to change the world taking over it's probably a good first step Actually, you can probably do some, you know, she's evil is what i'm saying. Like why the hell does she care about the difference? So, yeah Then she just breaks it And so this is where we get the reveal for why bucky has been shitting this whole scene So he can the camera can go right up to him. He says, oh, I always wanted to do that It's such a light dude It's a real continuity error right there too. Like she jumps up. She's far away from them And suddenly when she's back down and she's right next to him again Oh The choreography in this show is awful just in terms of like spatial awareness Yeah A lot of yeah the fight actual choreography is pretty pretty weak and that's that's the thing And look out again Marvel was always like the the fight scenes in the movies were generally pretty tight and well constructed and imaginative and characters Like did smart things whereas here it's just so sloppy And again winter soldier sucks.    Yeah winter soldier literally says thanks for joining the fight.   Yep. And then um, they have a quick fight.  Well, it's part of the most frustrated part of all of this They're both done like they they're captured.  And so now just tossed him to the You know between the trucks and well he can fly so I might Might have a bit of you might come back.  That's the true hero's way Uh So this is our stakes now. We've got two people are holding down falcon both super soldiers two people holding down Uh bucky super soldiers and a person on either truck preparing to execute So they're done. That's it. We lost everyone. What a show. So sad. If only they were more competent then As if against all odds In comes a new character that doesn't get the appreciation he deserves Um, by the way, he has like a ninja helicopter.  Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say that after watching the show the shield Is a wizard I don't know. Look at this. I think both work Look at look at this The momentum he has when he gets off this helicopter Right because he's there now think of the leverage you you mainly have your legs to bounce off if you crouch He sort of just Just flings forwards like yeah, I mean It's the kind of thing we give away to like cap But this is before he gets his super soldier serum. He's doing all kinds of well Remember when we were watching this shot first We assumed he was a super soldier with all Yeah, because of yeah because of how he can throw the shield around and that sort of thing Yeah, and also. Yeah his legs. They're those knee bones Those the the balls that you have there on tell us Yeah, whatever whatever he had there. They are dust after landing on that truck And yeah Lamar gets the backup hit and these two arrive and save our hero's lives and save the hero's lives And what do they have? What do they get in? Well appreciation Just yeah, because I'm gonna say like it's kind of neat as well because they do all the saving and they land And they've knocked everyone down. They're really happy and then they do their little like secret Your partner handshake thing and it's just like look at these two It's totally ready to save their fellow soldiers and do the right thing. It's like classic Good guys, and then you have like falcon. Look at his face. He's like, oh for fuck's sake.   It's a little rank in the government like Yeah, what if they don't know who he is the and they start attacking him And yeah, bucky grabs the shield at one point in this and then you know cap immediately takes it and bucky's like It's like dude.  They're upset about the shield Like I really don't care. I consider that incredibly petty.  That'd be great And and all thanks the fact that it's even possible is all thanks to john walker also known as captain america Yes Who more than ends his title What another show agrees? No, he doesn't Um, yeah, then uh, I guess i'm gonna skip a little around because like I don't want to spend a million years on there You know that kind of attitude.  Look at him.   Yeah, please help Yeah But it's funny because marvel you copy too serious too long. Absolutely not funny No, it's just frustrating watching it. Like why? Um, so then this happens, right? And again, this is why I brought it up. Uh, lemar isn't near death right now Falcons laughing with bucky. So it's fine. Don't worry about that. Also. Keep an eye on this girl. Look at this girl right here She's just like, huh? What's going on? I'm just I'm I'm girl. I stand here. What's my job? She just watches and so while he's battling carly He draws his gun to help labar.   And so he shoots and by the way girl is still just like whoa My friend just got shot Not only does he shoot he shoots without aiming just eyeballing it at a guy Who's grappling his friend while he's on a moving truck going down the highway. Yep He doesn't shoot the person right in front He doesn't shoot the person who's like right next to him either Yeah, for anyone wondering all the time. He wanted yeah, because that's carly.  He is aiming quote unquote, but he's not really a big it's it's pointing I don't know. I think the the guy Yeah, that's you're not allowed to kill terrorists Oh, and it's worth mentioning other activists rags. They're activists and peaceful protesters. This is their truck of peace. Yeah So if I can just get the frame So everybody if you've got the screen up screen up, where was this man shot? Boom That red splatter. Where would you say that is? Like on his heart It looks like it's hot. Oh I see it now. Yeah, that's the heart. He's like dead. I don't know how a super soldier survives that That's cool. And yeah, that's a 45 man. That's a that's no joke. But uh, yeah, he does survive that he comes back later I don't I don't get it. I I thought the super Well as we story or as we saw in winter soldier, which is inferior to far from home when When when captain america gets shot and like for a couple of times he's like down. He's out I think that's yeah, he's he's crawling Well, I thought that was always the idea right with stuff like spider-man captain america is they're really strong But like a well placed shot and that's it game over. Yeah Yeah, it's one of the things that makes them actually, you know, you can feel scared for them even though they're really strong Um, but you know, it's nice to see that he during his own fight will help his pal out Just this is the kind of again like action that tells you about the characters Like this is actually like more of a plus despite how goofy it is It's like yeah, well at least he tried to save him falcon's too busy making fun of his partner to uh save him That's how falcon do um and you even get then uh, we sort of uh This is essentially where the the fight's coming to an end and then the worst thing happens so Caps like trying to stay attached on the back of the van uh falcon grabs winter soldier gets them both out They are safe. Um Unfortunately, of course Lamar still has to deal with uh carly and the other one because not both of them. They didn't get shot And uh, oh, uh, this isn't through watch together by the way. I can't put it in watch together because uh If you pull up my stream, you'll you'll get kind of the context what i'm talking about It's mainly for the audience that I don't confuse them Um, hopefully from memory you kind of get what i'm talking about if you uh don't want to pull it up But that's all good. So Um, again like like lamar's gonna be in trouble because there's three super soldiers with him right now And they all don't care about killing people. So yeah, he's um, he is wrestling them And unfortunately for him because we know how this goes we we know we've got references for this He is uh hit pretty hard by the super soldier In the chest. So I guess he's probably yeah I think he's not gonna make it right from what I understand that kills people At least that's what I got from episode four. So But uh, it's fine. He's gonna be fine cap throws the shield and um, he ends up bouncing on it and uh, he makes it You know what's neat is the is the um Cap like smiles at him. He smiles back. It's like, yeah team work The good stuff and then cap gets back up and he's like, you know what that was a mistake He's gonna try and fight him again. But then um, I would argue he takes an even bigger blow than lamar as uh, Carly the badass that she is grabs his uh attempt at a punch and just slams him So hard by the way he blasts off into a car And uh rolls right, but uh, this by the way, this was when uh freeing myself and rags were like, oh, so he is a super soldier then Yeah Yeah, wait, well, yeah the the shield and how he can tank these hits like yeah And plus it makes sense that this captain america they would have I don't know why they chose him was that he has a serum I mean unless the suit is armored somehow to protect him from this there's no way she Why Yeah, yeah We only had enough of this special stuff for one guy And so you might have been distracted with how shit that scene was from thinking about how wow Falcon and winter soldier ditched them Left them for dead Despite the fact that they have no lives He's yeah, these guys learn insane Yes, and like it was too much for me.  Nope Even though like he can run really fast and falcon can fly Well, we saw in in civil war, which is the best captain america movie. Um, they can run really fast Well, they did this Did cap instead of winter soldier as well when he fell off the helicarrier so he can clearly lift people and move them So why not go out and truck He did it did it in episode one. He has the hostage. He can carry bucky Because you're not punched up doesn't mean that you stop Go he's the two lads the savior life is still there. They're both humans.  I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it terrible So, yeah, uh, I was like, oh this show's awful Like it doesn't I'm sure they had no idea when they were writing this what they've just done like in this scene They were just like, no, that's all if it's fun.  We're having fun.  I don't even know.   They know he is like giga chad He just came in saved their lives. He's uh, he got picked. So he must have been doing something, right? Um, three time medal of honor recipient. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. You know, it's not that great It is okay. Yeah But you know Falconers, you know, I think If nothing else like sam would have respect for him since he's a military man himself That's why it's so confusing. Yeah, it's really we even did tours in the same war They're both veterans all the veterans rather I mean Because if he showed up at the vc where you worked before you came falcon Surely you'd be you know talking to him trying to help him deal with the trauma of going to war But and especially he just saved your lives Well, so this was what I was gonna say is if you if we wanted to Craft this ourselves as writers or anything like oh, they they have a bit of a thing for him because he's got the shield And they have like a couple of meetings beforehand. They're just cute with him Um, and they may even have like one argument at some point like whether or not someone's plan should we blah blah The moment he saves their lives in combat. I think that's it then be like, all right. I trust you I I get it. Like you're a good person. Yeah And they open with that it would make yours it would be more interesting from a writing point of view if they actually do trust him Initially, you know, he seems like a decent guy.  This guy isn't what I thought he was and oh, okay.  I think is his name And um, there's there's one thing this of note that's just neat that's sort of on its own where he's just practicing announcing himself as captain America And obviously he's trying to get the voice right because you want to come across as strong and You know and everything and so it's just relatable that he would just be like, oh god You know my it just tells you a lot about him already like he's not quite ready It's a big job and he says like of all the things I've done like this is different. This is a constant job this is going to be big boots to fill and um You know the wife is like, oh don't worry like you're going to be great and the same with a friend You know just try to make sure he's going to be all right unzipping the outfit and it's just like, yeah, here we go and then um All of the extravagance of this thing plus the description of his history which unfortunately the writers didn't realize what they'd locked him into They made him like one of the greatest human beings on planet earth Yeah That intro was great because there's not I mean it's great that it makes him likeable But then it's terrible from a writing point of view in this show because it doesn't even establish a hint of You know there's a bad undertone to him. It's not like he's arrogant about it. He's not like, uh, you know I totally deserve this. He's he's a guy who feels the weight of the responsibility of doing this And he's desperate to try and live up to it. You know, those are all great traits. It's just it doesn't really fit It doesn't factor into what he becomes later I mean the the uh Show toys with him a little bit like pulls at his strings and tries to manipulate you with all the kinds of like the filmmaking around it But then at the end is like, oh, yeah, he's a good guy. We said that we said he was a good guy You're like, I don't like you show Um Yeah, uh, I I was happy with this intro and then I was already annoyed and it's like wait, why would you be annoyed? It's like cuz they're gonna do something to him.  We could we we knew it was coming Not gonna be less frustrating as a result So, yeah, they lost the flag smashes somehow. I have no idea They also explained that they found the flag smashes and these guys because they followed red wing And uh falcon has the balls to complain about this when it's not even his Belongs to the government and it's so awkward because again walker is doing everything perfectly. He's like, oh, well It's you know, it's government property and then he points to himself and lamar goes we're government He's just like, yeah Lines up and yet you just have them frowning and uh then comes Again, because this is all horribly written and they have no idea what they're doing.   Yeah, this is what I mean Are we really doing this? Like did you think dr. Strange was this incredible name? I guess that is his name though. I well you need different example to that one. I think no, you He didn't doctor His name is dr. Stephen strange. No He didn't know that Ah, right true true dr. Smith I think anybody would naturally assume.  That's the name Battle star. It's like, oh, how lame I'm out.  It's like wow. These are our main characters of this show And this is the thing I feel like my reaction like IRL if this guy introduced it and like The soldiers of like the government are starting to take on like little little tag names or whatever Not that they wouldn't do that before like there's some code names and stuff in the military though for people to have Code names like I wouldn't look at the modern warfare series. So frost ghost Yeah, and if if if it came across as though it was kind of inspired by the fact that they were other superheroes I'd be like, that's cute that you went with battle star. Yeah, all right. Nice I'll happily call you battle star if you want There's a code name stuff, but no bucky's a twat. So it's like, okay, cool Though not as bad as falcon where falcons listening to them even more and walkers desperately trying to win him over And he says He says a bunch of things there's some really good quotes in there for like convincing him of his character And like it just makes me so sad I'm gonna try and show the faces because I just I'm so on walker side Well, it's just the scene where he's like, you know, I want you by my side To to help me with this because we need your help. Well, and that's when Sam I'll I'll I'll get I'll get Because this is good.  I want to be goodman. He was strong helpful I want to be a team you guys blah blah. It's all good.  Okay, we're about to get to it I just want to make sure I have it with the copyright. So the word is wingman Says he wants caps. Yeah wingman And that is a trigger word Absolutely, like I when I heard it Like he got triggered. I asked Fringy to turn it off. I was like, this is enough. Okay I can't listen to this. I can't believe it.  So but literally and figuratively Falcons like pissed off and he's like, yep always that bit at the end And then he leaves it's like oh and look at walker Wingman's not even a subordinate position. It's just unequal. Who's there? It's my buddy. I got I got I got someone that makes it I got someone that makes this much worse than you guys would even possibly get from just this thing because you're right You're absolutely right that nobody would react this way.  He's like Poor guy, maybe Sam. Maybe Sam just hates top gun references. I don't know Now when Good old Sam was introduced Um part of his sort of story is that he's there giving advice and stuff because um I believe him and someone called Riley. There were two people who had Those like experimental falcon packs and they would rescue people.  Oh His wingman Imagine if he was alive to hear you say that Spit in your face.    I'm I am not to be insulted this way. So yeah, I was a little bit disappointed when finding that out I was just curious if it's ever come up in the MCU like just referring to people as wingman Has there ever been because I've never known it to be offensive literally either I'll go describe someone came up to me and said you're my wingman.   Yep, it's like perfectly mutual But also more over if you're in the military and somebody says a word you don't like that's not a good enough reason to not work with them Well, the children so Good enough like, oh, he called me a wingman.   What is it? What does it take?   You're like why?   Oh, you're being all weird like the guys the characters you inherited Um, yes, no, I don't like these ones. I don't like what you're doing with them I like these new people who seem great and kind and Skilled and humble and just all these wonderful traits that they have it just seems well No, because next episode he's gonna go up to a guy who was aiding in a bedding terrorist and screaming his face Do you know who I am? No, yeah, that doesn't mean he's a bad person really.     That's a human name. Um, and they're like You know people are searching for us now.  We just like I could do it. Like how I could do it I removed him from the internet. It's like, oh the whole internet Maybe cyborgs on their team Yeah, and he's just anybody who even sit types our name on the internet But the best part the best part guys they show a loading bar It's like Well, yeah, all of the unloading has to all the unloading has to load and it says Interpol notice Wanted carly morgan thou What do you what do you change about this? They hacked interpol. She's wanted this too late You they know her name like what what are you proposed to do? Arms in dangerous extreme caution It's does They all our files disappeared. Let me replace them Anyone anyone print out the the carly thing. It's like, yeah, I did boss I only remember all the all the case officer assigned to it. We just instantly forget who she is It's like, uh, we were supposed to be searching for someone but no Lost it now. Oh man. I'm to the next case how hard drives. They all got deleted I don't know It's so funny because he just he just sits. This is a brand new safe house. They've never been here before He just sits down on a computer because I gotta hack the end of that Yeah, it's just some guy's house that's like hey, this house didn't have The computer then I'm guessing. All right. We would use this phone.  He's like is this gonna lead our chat history I'm like, oh, well, we've got scrub all of our tweets from the official flag swashers twitter account Which twitter would probably allow to oh, yeah, yeah, it'll be fine. They could talk about freedom and stuff It'll be fine. That's the context. Yeah, like do you have hacking software and the guys like steam I a window 10. That's all the hacking software I need You'll be fine. Just tap away. It's all done. And then they do the whole really bad exposition again She's like, you know, it's really good that we want things that are good for the world, isn't it? And they're like, yeah, and like we got to make sure that good things happen people get what they need Yeah, one willed one people. Yeah, one willed one people.  You're like, oh, that's the thing. It was a secret But we open with a really weird like I don't I'd like to talk to the writer about what the goal here was They have a black kid say, hey, it's black falcon falcon's like, no, it's just falcon And I'm like, why would anyone call you black falcon? This scene stands in stark opposition to the message of the show which is that race matters a lot Right, right. Yeah It's weird weird the show seems to go in loads of different directions with this because like You know sam's final kind of Realization of I'm gonna wear the the captain america shield and I'm gonna take on that mantle Even though people are gonna judge me for it for being black and think that I shouldn't It's like it tries to steer this middle path where it acknowledges all of these different grievances But then tries to kind of push them aside so that he can take on the captain america persona But then it doesn't really have a coherent Message in the end it goes in two different directions And it's like this is an example Yeah, like they're trying to get across this point here really awkwardly that sam just sees himself as You know falcon. He's not he doesn't define himself by his race So he doesn't want to but then his experiences over the course of the series try and pull him in that direction Especially when he meets isaah Yeah, I feel like Oh, I feel like anthony mackey weaseled that in because he's Said something like that in the press like i'm not no, no, no, no, maybe it wasn't Maybe it was interest elbow or somebody but like the way he talks in the press about uh, you know media and How we shouldn't make everything about raisin blah blah blah I feel like he knew the script was shit and like just let me put this in To let people know like i'm not all about this this race baiting bullshit. Like I got some Yeah, maybe common sense Yeah, it does feel like another person snuck in and added this feels out of place. It really does Because he was with me because like the whole the reason why for instance is black panther is because it's a literal black panther Like that's why he's called that but falcon. He's falcon by the same note. However, if they were a new Um, like superman and he's black. I could totally see people colloquially trying to separate him by going Well, it's black superman. I can see that possibly catching on when you wouldn't want it to be you'd be like no No, no, no, can you just call me superman? It's like, okay. Well, you're the new superman. You're whatever your name is That could happen Yeah, no, that's what i'm suggesting is i'm looking for how it could have happened colloquially Why would anyone call him black falcon?  Yeah, so that was just odd I was I was like, why did why did that just okay anyway moving on um And so we're I guess it's just time to go over this as a full history thing like timeline wise it's hard to keep track of but this guy made a potion Like uh, that'll be the perfect person to use this on and steve was found legend used it on him This guy was killed his his uh, serums were destroyed And so it was left for us to assume that we ain't making that again because he was like a genius who knew how to do it Okay Now I might need a history lesson from any of you guys if you know more about this than i'm filling in But like hydra were also working on super soldier serums question mark and they used one on bucky Yeah, yeah, zola did sort of uh, or at least winter soldier says zola did like after he fell off the train Uh, it's kind of unclear exactly how his formulas worked or how successfully were but they seem to have worked on bucky So, yeah, they also produced those other like super soldiers that you saw in civil war That were all kind of murdered by zemo. So they were presented by hydra as well, weren't they? Those came from the formula the serum that was with tony with Yeah, how it came up with those they were stolen from him and used to make them all we this there's probably gaps in this history to fulfill fill up Unfortunately, it's hard to make more history because it's probably going to trample on something Because they've already kind of done it now It's like whatever would have happened with a world with more super serum people or more x more y We should have probably heard about it Like um the more films that go on say for example They introduce the world famous winter soldier assassin that everyone knows about and is terrified of and is a ghost in like the 27th film we'd be like that's weird. It doesn't come up like ever before but it's like this guy that everyone okay But yeah, this show along with wandavision really sets up the idea that They will happily make things up that existed retroactively Um just to have well really whatever they want for whatever reason. That's what captain marvel was right That's just like it was just stapled on it's like no we're having this too.  It's like So The reason i'm saying all this of course is that uh that that's kind of the history and then we We are told that they kind of crack some sort of serum kind of With howard in the is that the 90s? Yeah. Yeah 91. Yeah So that is taken and then they make a bunch of super soldiers out of it But they were unstable like they're scary they're beating up the scientists Oh god, and then they get put on ice and so that's basically it But now this show is saying actually And this is from what I remember from this episode and from the one we get uh down the line episode five There were more tests done now This is the thing I want to go piece by piece with this so that we can all accept Maybe what we think is okay and what we think isn't in terms of trying to add to this universe, so More tests were done more serums were made more experiments with people were done. Do you guys have any issue with any of that? I'm like, who did that? Yeah Presumably like exactly. Well isa makes it sound like the american government question mark vagueness, but it would have to be shield presumably Or I guess hydro within shield Yeah, that's that's that's definitely worth considering, right? So it would because this is the thing if we were all in shield when all the stuff in cap one happened I would probably be like so what a first kind stuff do we have left must have had papers data and Yeah And so, yeah, I would just be like I think that we can uh, we can try We could we could say if we were building the story from without having any movies yet The yeah, they would probably continue working on it And uh, it's kind of established that in civil war that they eventually cracked something not not a good serum because it's unreliable in the 90s It's like does that line up? It's like I guess so without Erskine who's revolutionary Like yeah, they have a huge amount of trouble getting this to work again However, we are told that they created a whole bunch and they experimented with a whole bunch of dudes And they sent all of these dudes on a mission now according to isa A couple of them straight up died A couple of them were unstable and the couple of them actually worked and he's one of them unfortunately Loads of them were captured behind enemy lines.  They've got our super soldiers. We best blow them up to get rid of the evidence That seems a bit weird That's same. It seems like they're trying to make Yeah It seems especially when captain america is going to be so front and center Well, uh, I'm going to bring that back in because I think there's more problems with this right So like we're supposed to believe that they wanted to kill them all so that there's no evidence of them having existed Now if you were so obsessed with them never being captured Why would you have dropped them all out there without having experiment like like tested them at home Been like can you guys survive in stressful environments?   Why wouldn't you try to get your property quotation marks for your property back? Um, and remember isa leads a one bad mission I think or a selection to get them out and he's successful It's like wow, why didn't why didn't she'll just do it? Why didn't america just do it? Why did they just get their people out? They're really important Because he is not only that abar And only not only that He leads this mission to rescue them and then he gets thrown in jail for that specifically Well, that's what he says. I'm going piece by piece again, man. Oh, sorry So That I find all of that hard to believe is kind of my point that they wanted to kill him And he's like I was I was here and as friggy pointed out when we were watching it Oh, that's eerily close to steve's story if you remember he goes and does a mission to save people when he was told not to Yeah, that's probably deliberate Anyway, he comes back And he's like they put me in prison.  Well, uh, you know I wouldn't want to quibble over whether or not they would be allowed to like legally with how he's broken orders The the fact is they did mean mean mean things to him Which I found strange and then if we roll it back It's like wait, how do they get these powers again? Like what was the nature of it? It's like they were told they were getting tetanus shots But they were actually getting like the super soldier serum. It's like Huh They didn't lie to steve Like I'm guessing that that might be to mirror the thing that happened in like the 70s wasn't it where a bunch of people were lied to that they were going to get like some sort of uh Vaccine, but it was actually like an experiment being run to figure out like the biology of african america's or something some crazy like Secret government project. I think the thing is he never makes it clear if all of the soldiers were black or not He just says that they were soldiers. Yeah, it's unclear, isn't it?  Well, that was in the 90s else too Yeah, one of them would grow at least. Yeah, again, though those in the 90s So they're gonna they would argue it's a different time. You see 90s were more progressive Yeah, they they keep proceeding on like they keep they rely on the audiences like the specifically the specifically the marvel audiences View that the government is bad and they just they just rely on that and expect them to fill in the blanks with their own you know With their own like distrust of the government instead of just explaining the shit Yeah, a lot of the show relies on the proverbial evil.  Who do you think did this and why? And then we can talk about because I happen to know That shield were completely infiltrated by evil jim and nazis who are doing all kinds of experimentation And that we actually squashed them Um and so sorry about all of that shit, but that might have been them and not like strictly america Like can we go over a lot of the because you seem like a very bitter old man as a result of the things that happen to you Which is natural, uh I I just maybe it's worth clearing up. Maybe you'll feel better about your country If you knew that it wasn't necessarily your country that did this to you I don't know. There's there's lots of things that don't get talked about because it's a very simplistic sort of This this this accept it and you're like, okay Um, so I just found it a little bit weird I guess like they have all these let's presume they had like, you know Serum abc the all the way through desired and they're like we're gonna inject a bunch of dudes with this and send them out And just see what happens.  I don't know Like think of it. How do you uh, you don't have as important as the serum is, um We'd really be keeping a close eye on all this stuff and be super careful A waste of your resources in the whole point of the test Like wouldn't you want to keep them close try to figure out like why it worked and how you can potentially You would you would have them in labs and controlled environments for months If not years and you have the long-term effects of it You give them all a punching bag and you're like everybody Approach and attack the punching bag and then we'll monitor you you don't throw them all out randomly, right?  It's like, well, they were shot.  Steve was being used for like promotional stuff um It's like like they wanted people to know he was a super soldier and stuff like that's Okay, it's like well, well, I say it was black and you're like, yeah I guess I'm just a little bit lost on this But why would they have if that's the attitude they had why give it to a black person in the first place? Exactly exactly.  Yeah, that's smart.  What about the guys who came from like Chicago or new york or something? I'm sure that they got No, their lawns in their apartment buildings their lawns had flaming crosses on it too But I I guess my question would be what what what is the government to do about that? Well, what they're doing now lockdown racists block them from twitter That's the way to do it, man. They just did have twitter back then so I don't know why they chose to It's weird Uh, and you and you sort of just it doesn't quite line up.  I'm just trying to figure it all out in the narrative now Because my will just getting turned upside down scrambled like I'm just trying to figure out where all this timeline stuff came from Yeah, this is what happens when you have an objective at the end That doesn't line up with what you have to work with and so you just try and bend everything around it To make it work and it never does like eventually just gets to that point really like no, this this doesn't make any sense in the context of this world and so Uh, is there isn't in prison for 30 years which takes us from obviously the I guess it was late 40s to late 70s and then he's released Uh, he's not released.  I have this thing this the story just doesn't line up to me so he apparently met winter soldier at some point during his um 10 year has as like super strong soldier man If you remember his story, he was injected. He went out His soldiers will sit several of his friends were captured. He was told you can't free them He did he came back and was imprisoned. So they only led him out to fight the winter soldier presumably Yeah, it was in korea, wasn't it? So they did when was that which if we can try and find a timeline now Well, korea was the 1950s So he would have been released temporarily in his 30 years of imprisonment to fight winter soldier Yeah, like we are supposed to believe that And he didn't do anything to escape or make noise or anything He just he did his job.  It's like hmm Seems like a weird time. You don't get it maul him. He had the slave mentality. They beat him down emotionally Well, this is the way it's like they they wanted him for his blood, right?  Tanks Come up with some form of a breakthrough after going through all that much blood.  None of the teams are working on this Anything with the blood It is this timeline is so strange and it's just to shove specific payoffs at specific times Because the other thing I was wondering is like wouldn't they want to farm Steve's blood the like top tier like perfect And you know what if they said hey steve as he's doing some of the missions Can you please just like blood let a little because we need to basically try and get this This formula back. We need to help more people need to get more soldiers need to win the war I think he'd be okay with it Yeah, like like I said instead of the first avenger He actually does like they draw a lot of blood from him. So it's like why not just keep doing that like His was like the perfect experiment. It worked So why not use his blood to recreate it is apparently perfect as well, but they just had a constant tap They erased his entire that was the funny part for me when they were like they they erased every last scrap of me from history That's why you've not heard of me. He like No paperwork no like research like any research papers no no numbers Nothing Another question I have is um bucky knows where he lives how You What what kills me is he just randomly tell sam this like there's something you need to see like why why Because they find out that they're super hero super people and so yeah bucky somehow Decided you know what's likely the blood they drew from him across those 30 years back when started 1940s Is likely been used to synthesize a new serum. So we need to talk to him. He'll know nothing useful So yeah, it's all garbage um and so you're like why why did you do any of this?  Why did you why did you phrase all of that that way?   Come on Dude, I I doubt they even needed uh to just use like black people like cattle or whatever It's like, can you imagine during wars you're like, oh, we're experimenting to make people super strong and super fast To help in the war effort any volunteers.  Yeah, I could be like captain america.  I'm still pretty sure you'll get loads of sign-ups Especially people who want to fight but they'd like steve whether too short or too scrawny or whatever Well, they have like, um, you know, uh, any kind of like like the really bad vision or um, Maybe yeah, but just things that disqualify you. Um, and before you can recover from this before you could discuss it Before you can deal with any of this a cop car shows up Oh my god And it's like this this was physically painful to watch how contrived it was It's beautiful We just dealt with all of that and it's like it's really hard to try to reconcile everything You just change the entire history to do with soldier serum and stuff.  Wilson. Mr. Wilson. Is this a brace of uh, cracker bothering you?  It's like, oh, why are you two arguing in the middle of the street? Yeah, the cars that make me on the street not people Instead instead their first thought is this white man. He's being attacked by this horrible black man Got to save him And you think they'd recognize sam on the spot, but now Oh Yeah, particularly they're there to apprehend bucky aren't they because he missed his He missed his counseling thing. So they've got to bring him in. That's like the terms of his parole So they are already there looking for him to arrest him Like who's he likely to be hanging around with?   The show is like see they probably should have known and it's like yeah show They probably should have what's going on. Why are you doing this?  It's like wow And yeah, um, and so that's that and so yeah, a lot of people would just like God, is this the show you like this is the show This is exactly the show Um, so you're not gonna get pulled over in baltimore for walking across the street people jaywalk all the goddamn time In baltimore I lived there for several years. They're just the road is the sidewalk in baltimore. Well, that's not a thing That clarifies that thing then I I assumed it was really bizarre when people are just Arguing with each other in the middle of the bar Baltimore is a very strange place and people are just like randomly across the street all over the place There are no crosswalks. It's just chaos. Hey, that's accurate. That's neat. Yeah, you go uh Not sure what to talk about first with this stuff The therapy session itself or the fact that walker not only releases bucky from the annoying therapist But also like clears him for duty because he knows that he's very very useful and would want that and he even does like a Like walker does a gesture of like yep. It was it was me. I did it like uh, so yeah, you know I know I know it's a really nice thing. I did But nobody cares and nobody appreciates Like getting him out of a jam man. Yeah a walker. That's nice gets him out of jail and approves him to go on missions That's a godsend for bucky. That's everything he wants.  He was wrong about me Yeah, just says it says it overtly.   Well, uh, this picks up in the uh halfway through episode five where they talk with when they have the shield That's where this conversation continues until then everything's on pause Fucking hell man I don't know if there's any more commentary for it because I do I think a lot of people will be like What was wrong with it? Just like it's it's super over It's just not delivered in any like kind of what I would feel to be a natural way Uh, I like the idea that bucky rides a lot on steve for his identity because he's the one that like brought him back over and over again and stuff So very dependent on Whatever steve has said about him to be really important. I just don't like that. He rolls it out Without barely getting poked about it Like this is some deep stuff that I don't think he would even want to say Yeah, this is the person who's they they say such personal things in these small moments and then the rest is just flooded with jokes So it's like it doesn't feel like this material is being fleshed out. It's just like you get well, we're episode two You know, that's true Also, that's like maybe he was wrong about me too. That's kind of the subtext not the text You would think so if it was good The instant thing that we talked about we watched the episode was you cut the the line in half at most You have him say if he was wrong about you then And you could even cut it earlier than that and dot dot dot it and he looks down Or he says it In any way that's slightly more subtle that you give us the audience a chance to think about what he might have been wanting to say Because you know, it is a common thing in writing that characters don't when just in real life That sometimes people don't say exactly what they mean In fact, it's actually pretty common that people don't express exactly what they mean You know, it's what they're afraid to say that often has more meaning and more significance So, yeah, like like you point it out.  It's easy enough to infer what he's thinking from that But you also get the fact that his character is afraid to say it Then the audience actually has to lean in and try to figure out what people are thinking and feeling instead of being told exactly There's there's so much of this just well, it's it's like batwoman where you've got characters standing in hallways talking about their feelings You know, it's it's just that but with a marvel budget Yeah, and uh, they knew they had to do this stuff Otherwise they've gotten a character quote unquote and that's kind of the lame part of all of this Is that this is considered good enough by so many people not only good enough but great Like oh my god, it's phenomenal that we had this this is such a real moment from bucky What will we have as references to like support this sort of journey? Not much um and and the episode five discussion is really unsatisfying as well because um bucky basically gets told you shouldn't lean all your identity on steve Like yeah, probably Then he's like right and stop avenging start amending and then he walks up to urie and he's like Sorry about your kid. I killed him.  We're totally cool with you. We try to pick you up. We're on board. We got you out of jail It's all good.  You've got no information. We're free agents.  I hate it and then Work together the show has given us no reason to like these guys. No I mean, it's entirely based on us being you know knowing them from the movies and liking those characters But if it was just if you came into this show cold, you'd just be there like thinking these guys are complete dicks Oh, why would I support them? The thing is I liked them from the previous movies But when I watched this I'm like, this isn't even the same characters just like that.  We don't I'm like, how How are you using government technology? government like weaponry Without the government's permission on where you can go.  We watch civil war. You can't get away with this And they're like no we're free agents.  They don't have any authority to respond to like any supervisor or nothing They just they plant their missions judged during execution or apparently it's like wow And if they are Go ahead. Sorry No, I was I was on If they are free agents, then is he paying for all this out of pocket? Like no, I thought he was broke It has to be the government They ruined it when he when he had on that like huge like plane that he jumped out of Munich It's like the government paid for that they would never do the Who would they would they honestly be like, hey falcon if you want you just yeah, just go ahead That's fine. It's not like the world is strapped for resources Accountability right now. It's fine. Do whatever you want The funny thing is I think it would be the reverse I think captain america and Hoskins battlestar whatever they would probably be able to operate with relative ease They'd be like we need this to go here They might not even have to say why it'd be like it's a part of our investigation We're doing blah blah blah. We need to go here. It's like, yeah, we'll get the sanctions. You need free agent man Like hey government.  We only come to you when we have a contract.  Well, that's why you know then potentially you've got a good setup for zemo where it's like, oh, this guy's Insanely wealthy and so we need his resources and his jets and stuff to be able to fly around the world We need his help to do that. We don't just need him for information We actually need him to support us Yeah, that just ends up being what they're using for writing wise But the characters didn't even seem to be aware that that's what they would need him for until he just supplies it No, exactly. Like he just happened to have it, but it's a surprise to them. Yeah It's like, whoa, you're rich. You've got a jet. I didn't know that Do you guys remember the scene where the flags were actually trying to escape?  It did nothing Well, yeah, if you just tossed down the uh, the lamppost Earlier and then got on the plane. He'd be fine. But no, he's like, I must run at them Why are we playing sad music here? I don't know This random dude that we know nothing about like why should I just sorry for him As well, I guess, uh, we're not there yet, right? But at the end of the episode of it's this one, right? Where they burn the people I think that's the end of episode three Oh Right, okay.  I don't know what your cause is your cause is a world without borders It's like, what does that mean? How what is what is the end of your what is the end point of like where you're like, all right Mission accomplished one will one people. It's just there is there is one government It's not because they're they're real gripe is that, you know, there was so much more resources during the blip because half the population was missing So it's like, okay, you know, there's loads of empty houses So all the homeless got places to live and that's all great But now obviously everyone's been returned and those resources are scarce again And there's they're fighting this terror campaign to try and reverse that but like how Are you gonna like force half the world's population to kill themselves or something? There's going to be the big problem of I am willing to bet that more than half of the world like the idea of nations Um, in fact, it's probably more than half. It's probably more like 90% if not more than that um, but also Once you when you achieve your goal What does that look like because I hate to be the bearer of bad news But as it stands right now, it's going to be pretty logistically impossible for one government to oversee the whole world Effectively, there's kind of a reason why a lot of big countries have states Even small countries have states doesn't Germany have like 10 or 15 states It's just You need to start figuring out. All right. How do we address the problem in this area? Okay, that's still a big area. How do we address the problem in this area? And then all of a sudden you have states again Like I don't yeah, I don't see this end outcome here working for them. Well, that's the thing The grc is already kind of what they want what they want the grc to do though Is give more resources to people of their choice not the grc's choice That's it. It's so bizarre because you would think that you know Half the population blipping back into existence after five years of adjusting to the new paradigm Would throw everything into chaos and there wouldn't be enough resources for them period Like there just is not enough. But they act like there are they just haven't been giving it to them Well, that's the yeah, that's my point.  They want a fairer Redistribution of non-existent resources and I just don't understand how that's meant to work And how does killing them help? But this how do they mean to know who to give them to?  Well, yeah, you're gonna need more you like having So say for example, there's a meal and you go, that's a day's worth of food for someone. You're like Yes, so you probably want more than one meal per person presumably So if you have six months worth of this compound that's being spread presumably through this city with or something That'll last them some time, but they're gonna need more and Carly's like no, you shouldn't have it at all It's like what? What are you? How do you figure this out? What are you thinking? It feels like um, it's one of the consistent through lines when you watch this show is like whoever wrote this show I don't think that they understand how the military works. I don't think they understand how like supply chains works I don't think they understand how governments work. No, oh, they don't It's fascinating It's it's someone really to watch a show where at the end of it. They're like And I guess we'll get to that later. It's like, I don't know. Maybe that's a good thing.  I cannot believe he said that unironically Yeah, I don't know and maybe that helps me.  Oh, wait a 10 foot white. No, I need to breathe in. That's all right. Go ahead I I totally just heard the hero of the the supposed hero of the show Says in the final culminating like monologue He has that like, you know what maybe I don't understand how complicated this situation really is But maybe that's a good thing because now I can be idealistic Yeah One of the official hits some with a straight up like logistical question He's like, what are we supposed to do with all these people that have come back? And they found like someone else living in their homes Do we just turn them out on the street and falcon just stares at him?    You can't happen And they could say well, I might I know how I don't know how complicated it is, but it's but that's okay Yeah, his entire speech is just nothing but an appeal to emotion just the most manipulative garbage I think that's what I think my most charitable interpretation to them would be the logic of because I don't understand how complicated it is I'm deriving my position from a base principle But the problem is my immediate thing would be okay, sam Let's walk through the scenario. You have a house. You own it. Like you don't even have a mortgage. You own it Um, you disappear for a while.  You had no means of getting them out in that time because you didn't exist Who should have that house? And then he'd probably be like uh, oh well I mean, I guess in that case it should probably be the person who originally lived in it's like, okay Let's add a multiplier. They didn't own the house. It was being It was it was a mortgage and then the mortgage lapse because of economic stuff that went wrong during that period And someone moved in who should own the house that guy the person who moved in or the bank and it's like Oh, it's a little more complicated. All right extra modifier the person who got snapped had kids Uh, and then extra modifier. They're in this country and this is how the laws work extra modifier like the economics Like I don't know something happened with their other assets extra modifier.  Man stuff like it's really difficult Like this is actually a really difficult problem to deal with that's going to be a logistical nightmare There is no way that you're going to make everybody happy here But you have to balance out who you make happy And I would want to mention but just it real quick just to get back to The scene we're on instead of jumping to the end the whole reason they throw in that stupid goddamn line about how Oh, they were just sitting on these resources They just hadn't distributed them is because what would really happen in this world as you know Described by the blip and everything is that there just wouldn't be enough resources to go around No, right there would be third shortages Well, there'd be no way to make them evil for like not having resources for everybody But since they just have them and they're sitting on them they can be like See look the evil they are keeping us from getting what we need I mean, does she even understand the context of of this depot that she's bombing like maybe Stuff had been placed there for like a period of time before it was exactly Maybe it's storage depot. Maybe it's an emergency reserve where it's like, oh if things get really bad We'll tap into this but you know That's that's like, yeah to double up on what Fringe was saying as well then so If falcon was like I control it now I shall decide who gets the resources because I am pure of heart and then the grc people go very well You have complete control go and he goes all right. How many resources do we have go 100 just for the sake of it? Units like all right. We need to get them to all of the biggest population areas that have the least amount of resources Yep, okay. Let's do it. Uh, wish we send them specifically. Well, probably grc sort of compounds in these areas It's like, okay, how much should we send? It's like, well, if we've got 10 compounds 10 of the 100 go out It's like we'll do it falcon definitely now with each of these compounds They have to send the one of their units out of their 10 to each of the surrounding areas to distribute It's like cool. Oh no falcon. It's like what what's what's going on one of our One of our compounds has been hit by flag smashes and they're claiming that we've been sitting on these resources But we're trying to distribute them falcon help. What do we do? We have to do better, right? We have to do better. He's just like we do we do have to do better We have to listen to them.  They don't want people to starve. That is the most simplistic one That's ignoring other logistical issues. Like do you have the manpower to do this? What treaties? What do like how the laws changed in the years that you weren't here that you now need to rewrite That need to go through their democratic process is you're trying to like re-institute the governments of all these different countries You've got these places that have been sucked up You've probably got like so many cases that need to go before the Hague that is like or like the international courts that it's going to take you like Years to clear through that backlog the financial system probably doesn't work There are probably some currencies that have totally just obliterated that probably need new currencies and new and then you need to get loans from like the from The the the IMF like the international monetary fund you need to get if they still exist and it's like Yeah, just do better do better Well, there's a hitch in your step. There's you fucked up if you remember in his speech He said we shouldn't be talking about this yet, but he says With a phone call you can feed a million people Yes, I was about to mention that Or like you can plan a format Yeah, it's as if they have the power to just fix everything, but they're choosing not to it's so Literally the child the world it's absolutely a child's view of the world I've uh, I pulled up the actual the episode so he has a line where he says you can move borders It's like no you can't like that is like number one in terms of international law is the idea that you have sovereignty over your country The GRC can't just come in and say that territory belongs to them now You just be like no, it's ours. We're sovereign.  It's like that's there Okay, it's there. It's not something you just pretend doesn't exist.  It's like number one If you can't even control the land that you claim is yours Then how do you claim to have any authority over it? It's like really important fundamental stuff to do with like the nature of the way that nations work That this show is like oh you can just move borders around and again That's totally ignoring whether or not the people who live in those areas like the idea of becoming citizens of a different country What if you're living in like a border town in france that gets swallowed up by germany? Are you cool with that or the other way around or have you lived in some northern town in america and get swallowed up by Canada or vice versa or like mexico? Would you just be cool with that and and like what and it's like oh, thanks falcon You've just made me lose my whole land like i'm now a citizen of a different country I have less rights.  You're gonna do better. Okay. Yeah, just do better I just like the people who are being screwed are but Does anyone feel like the five-year gap between like the snap and and everyone getting restored was like a terrible right Demolished everything. Yeah, it's just gonna cause me so many problems going forward Well, here's the thing. I think there's a way to make that stuff work But what this movie really wants to do is have a social commentary on our current society and world and The world post blip is so very very different from our current world Yeah, you can't have both.  I'm sorry. This is I think that's the thing is it's it's basically Unrecognizable and like the rebuilding effort after world war two took a long time It took a long time and world war two killed a lot of people But the snap is like half the world. It's like 50. I think it's like 50 times more people It's catastrophic. Yeah, and to clarify for anybody wondering. It's like we're not it's more than half It's a hell of a lot more than half what the blip. It's definitely more than half Yeah, the amount of wars and genocides and ethnic cleansings and suicides that are gonna come after the snap god damn Yeah, the MCU imagine coming back and finding out that your home was blown up by a bomb you just teleport into the center of a collapsed building Because your home doesn't exist because I don't know like another country They don't have the bulls to tell that story. They just don't well that would be what an interesting story Snapping back into a world that's unrecognizable and you have to try and figure your way out from there That'd be that'd be a cool idea. But again, they don't want to do that. They're like, well, you can move borders It's like, do you know how many problems like it's funny You would say this considering how many issues have come from colonialization Colonialism in Africa when the main issue there was that they were just arbitrarily making borders without any consideration For the people who lived there and where they wanted to be a part of it's amusing that you would do that It's almost like you don't know anything about the world Yeah um, the other the other line she threw it or he threw in was um, you control the banks like Control, oh, yeah, you control the banks. Uh, yeah It's it's such a just print more money. Just print more money Yeah, I mean there's never been a bad instance of just printing more money What's that? Why my republic? What's that's in bob way?  They're like, that's one of the greatest speeches in history of film What are you talking about? I like how you've got all these politicians looking down one of my immediate thing would be dude Like you tell me what to do. Here you go. You know it'd be like that It's like it. I feel like this would be again another simpson's reference. You got like the grc of blanders grc It's like what what is it pictures over there? It's like, uh, don't worry grc words can't hurt you in falcon person man I think you just volunteered. It's like me, but you're doing such a great job And so We should begin episode three like this is just this is gonna get Don't worry. This will get faster because we've been jumping ahead a bit So we're gonna skip over stuff as we go. It's how it always goes guys We'll be just fine episodes only an hour long, you know, we'll get through it real quick. So What even happens? Oh, yeah zemo, uh, I think it's retarded that they were like, right We need info on super soldier's serum. What about zemo? The knowledge about any of this instead of civil war It's like what did he had to do with like the super soldier's serums?  He knows loads about all of it And it's just like wait Because I saw an article actually that went through like I don't know if this lines up because he says He's known the power broker for years and that he's like been researching all of this stuff It was super soldiers for a long time couldn't have been done from prison And so it leaves like this gap in the time between Age of Ultron and civil war that he might have done it Or if it was a part of the spec ops team that he was a part of that they wanted to keep an eye on Is really I'd have to get all the references myself I'm not too invested in looking into that stuff because I feel like the other ways they destroy everything Are much more significant in the show than whether or not zemo was looking into super soldiers I just think it was really funny that they're like hmm The first time we heard about the flag smashes was because our associate in the government told us about a meeting they had And he knew about it because he's been keeping an eye on their message boards to all the people to try and help them join the cause That is of course nothing we can use. Let's instead go to zemo Like why why didn't you use that?  That seems like the lead Go do that Leads like zemo someone who's probably gonna have his own agenda and he's gonna be super dangerous to like be involved in So it's like why not pursue news that are probably gonna Be more reliable Yeah, I remember he's been like, okay show you wanted zemo. I guess you got him Because they just decided that's the case. We'll come back to him But um, it seems that they caught up with this safe house Good old walker in the government people the g.r.c. People. I guess I don't know And uh, but it's a it's a it's a dead end Just it's just an empty safe house. Oh, we need a lead. And so I think at the end of this scene after they show walker is like stressed out They do the thing with the camera is like getting close to him blurring and shaking and he's like, oh god again Oh, jeez.  Who knows what's gonna happen Terrifying, um But they're like, you know who probably will have a lead bucky and falcon.   Well, you're not allowed to see him because you might be a horrible middler He's like no no no no. I was at Wakanda They've sold me right out Like that's nice. You're still not allowed to see him Because I don't believe you. It's like no seriously. They said the words. I was looking at a fire. It didn't work. It's like, okay Have you tried it with zemo? No I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work with zemo if it didn't work with the Wakanda lady. That's the same I guess And then it's like, okay bucky. Do you know if there is another code he could use? No, maybe So yeah, you're not gonna see him buddy. It's not gonna happen. I'm sorry you can leave now Also, we're gonna let the government know you tried to see zemo because why wouldn't we it's a very strange thing You're doing I imagine the therapist will probably like you tried to see zemo.  What's going on? Why why why is any of this happening? but If only him seeing zemo was The biggest of the issues with all this. How did you guys feel about the prison break scene? Did you love it? It was dumb What It seemed like a really easy prison to break out of and the guards seemed incredibly gullible You could tell that um, it was an afterthought they were like he gets out shut up He's out and it's like no, we actually have to write something because audience members will be confused There's a lot in this show where people just solve problems with tech They just happen to have like how did they get a key card for him to get out of the room in the first place So that would never happen. There's just no way Con anything that goes into zemo's cell is going to be checked back to front with scanners on just by hand They'll scan through everything. It's like, yeah, this is okay. It's a book. I guess. Look. Oh, there's a key card in here Oh, probably take that out. Yeah probably Um, but that's that's step one and that's like the most important step Well, the rest is just distracting guards They want us to believe that bucky then Must have gotten a book, but the key how did he get a key card? How did any like yeah, but he got him saying But they put put it in a book and then he managed to sneak that into the stuff that would go to zemo's room pile and then it did And then he was like, hey zemo what um What book are you reading? He was like, oh Lucky valley.   He's like he's reading play toe and he's like 12 year old You know, I'm just really interested in in uh, and these uh, these ideas, you know, I'm really interested in greek philosophy Me at 12 year old So how far along have uh, we're at zemo's prism break. I had to step out. We've also we went over all of um Zemo's prism break. Yeah.  It was this whole thing The frigging was very upset. All right. Hey, I'm totally behind him. There's a lot to be upset about Yeah, there's a lot. Uh, there's a lot going on here that doesn't quite uh, doesn't quite add up so the card Um, it gets him through every single lock at every level in the entire prison That seems weird to me like you'd knew I was lucky Yeah, they have the entire system every single lock for every single room has one card That gets you all of it. I don't know that that's normal.  See what's going on see like it's like, hey, you got a problem Like did I do something to offend like nothing? He just instantly tries murdering him It's like wow that that worked really that worked exactly the way you thought it would Yeah, it's like no It couldn't possibly be like one of your fellow inmates Perhaps who's trying to provoke you into killing one of their enemies. It's like no, no, no He just I'll believe it instantly and just go for it No, I Could you imagine Were they wearing a disguise the two of them? Or a bucky was he wearing a What would it do guys or something? What do you mean like a like a face mask thing?  Hey, it's like Oh, yeah, that's another thing bucky was lucky. Sorry not bucky as Zima was lucky that none of the other Uh people on on things saw him no inspired him at all um He is very easy that he would have been like of all the people on call that day You know, it could be pretty easy to notice. There's a little bit of luck involved there But I don't think that like pales compared to the rest of this nonsense Uh He's out and that's that it's literally like in the opening three minutes. It's just like oh, yeah Like I was thinking maybe there'd be a whole episode devoted to it Um or half an episode there'd be a huge but no it's just told kind of after the fact And it just sort of happens and it's so quick That you could go you could go take a bathroom break and you'd miss it and it'd be gone and over You know, I like what happened while I was gone. I was uh, I was you know away. Oh, they they broke Zima out of prison I love as well I love how like he you know He knocks out a guard steals his uniform and just kind of puts the cap down a little bit lower and like nobody recognizes him You know, like probably the most dangerous prisoner in the entire prison like and none of the other guards like Happened to notice that he's in that guard uniform now No one watching the cell with their eyeballs. It's no one watching the anything. It's no one. No, like are there Is door being opened by a key card would set off notifications everywhere It'd be like Zima's prison cells opening.  Who's doing that?  How does he does he open the door from the inside? You wouldn't even think that would be like an option Yeah, you it'd be weird. Hey, you want to put like a cell where you can unlock it from the inside Why would we have that when is there gonna be a scenario where the person Inside the cell needs to be Well, not even then because the other guards will be like, oh, I was gonna say that's just inside was Zima again classic jerry Classic jerry I don't yeah That's not a thing. I'm trying to see if I can I don't think they show it I think they show him grabbing the key card And then starting the riot. I'm waiting for it.    We need a lot of people to make sure Zima don't get out Oh, yeah Well, also if a riot happened imagine they just did a lockdown that like prevented anyone from getting out of the main doors Yeah, like gates Close or drop down or you know the computer system they would absolutely do Yeah Prison riot is not a good idea to like get someone out of prison because it's chaos Yeah, like that could very well happen It's so risky So outside of all the logistical stuff of how this doesn't make any fucking sense at all and it wouldn't be possible Is bucky and falcon okay?   We need him. He goes, okay as long as you you take our orders and then he's like I will Don't worry Well, he said he would so he said he would I'm convinced I cross my heart and hope to die Also, like you're essentially throwing their lives away because it's like, yeah, we broke him out of prison We're going to be bringing them all over the country. It's like Oh, yeah, they finished. Yeah, they're done.  I don't think I yeah, that seems a little Yeah, it was just an idea. I had my head. I was like imagine he worked with him. He's like that would be really dumb And what if um, what if semo didn't have the plane What was their plan? Well, let's get around funny I guess they gave him a phone and he was like, hey butler get all of my stuff where I needed to be He's like, okay And they didn't they just introduced in just in this show that he was rich I thought he was supposed to like a modest like humble man before That's how he was presented in civil war for sure a little wibbly wobbly, right? I guess we'll we'll go over and see what you guys think so So covia is a failed state and when it was under attack in some way It was like when ultron first arrived Someone of baron's emos means it's like the fifth state of matter Surely he should be able to take very good care of any family he has like they would be escorted immediately by gods out of So covia They would probably maybe not even really be in so covia potentially like they might have like a place They actually live this way He describes it as like a shitty place to live, but it always came across to me That it wasn't that he was there because He was he was there because that's where he lived that's where he was Born grew up whatever and then he was a part of the the military and special forces of so covia or whatever That's just seems to be how it was but it's like no he was really rich He sent his kids to his dad Then they all died Did he not have like a bunker? Did he not get like any why didn't he fly them out? I don't know seems like the guy is loaded Feels weird that there it made more sense to me that it was literally just your average like shitty house or something And they were just in there. Yeah See like the iron man through the car window like I always got the sense It was just a regular car not that like he had a limo and a driver.  We need a plane to get somewhere. Oh, yeah I had a plane Well up until that point the government was caught in the maraud like free of charge I love the idea that zemo just gets onto a government airplane. He's just like, yeah This makes enough sense. I guess what up fellas Uh, and a lot of people are saying he's rich in the comics though. It's like Oh, so This is yeah Watching an adaptation and we're saying that this is like clashing what was set up in the previous installment with this character.  All right guys get excited. Okay. I like fun I put time into this Big amounts of time you will have fun. What I'm gonna do is summarize mad rapport from when they enter To when Sharon saves their lives.  It's like a little bingo game. Okay Oh my goodness gracious. It's so great. I'm very excited. So let me pee real quick What I will do I guess first like I said is just explain The events and you will be tempted you'll be like wait stop.  Okay, write a little note Then we shall return and for every point any one person right? It's gotta go one at a time too You can't be going like three points. You're one at a time. You ever want a chance?  I can't quite remember Uh, either way what you guys can do is is probably add to them or just find the ones that I found as well This was phenomenal when we watched it the matter of course sequence It's uh, it breaks basically all of the characters and the um And the world building quite a bit lots of fun to be had so I suppose I'll just start up by um Describing what happens they come to mad report because Zemo is pretty sure that uh, the the serum has been fucking with I think it's something to do with the power broker. He's like, he knows them He knows someone who's vaguely involved with the serum. So he wants to go to mad report and meet them His goal Is to get a meeting with selby and offer this selby person The winter soldier in exchange for information on the person that is currently working on the super soldier serum Which is you know a political plotline, right?  Now. I know you're all tempted to talk already. No stop, okay Um, oh drink a city has to drop off for a little bit Hopefully returns, but it's okay because everyone's gonna want to talk over each other for this one. Trust me So yeah, they arrive in this lawless place and of course they're worried about being uh being spotted Right. So Zemo's like, ah, so we're gonna have to come in as baron Zemo. That's easy the winter soldier That's easy, of course the winter soldier is a villain. So that'll be great. He can go in Ah, but falcon, who's falcon gonna be? Well, you can be smiling tiger Is uh, there's a guy who often comes to mad report who is smiling tiger He's a bad guy too and he just looks right like like falcon. So he'll just be smiling tiger. He'll dress up as him He'll be fine.      Well, you can have crumbs But you can't have the bakery she gives them the name of the seara maker, but that's it And so it seems like we're on board if we just sell winter soldier for salbi's information We're gonna get the next line of the plot Unfortunately sam's phone rings and his sister speaks to him. She's like, hey, buddy Chocolate crisps ice cream. I don't know she talks about something and he's like, oh my god You're so awkward with your talking you stop that right now And the call ends with her saying goodbye sam Sam she calls him sam.  You don't want guns now That would be really bad.   Wow. Hey, man I would try to keep track of everything as a newest sugar What a journey Backing and I was like I'm forgetting some of the previous places. Where do we start again? What's the what's the starting point? Let's see how gross that you're gonna put up that might help direct our um So I don't think I've got everything in here But what I have got is one two three four five six seven eight points for mad rapport There's in general as a location how it works Or for falcon three for bucky three for Sharon two for salby two for zemo problems Do whatever you want mad rapport go for it Alrighty so mad rapport. We're just I I always get worried when once again, we just start inventing places like this That we're here all along and it's not a real place because this could have been Hong Kong or some South sea well the problem is that you can't have it be Hong Kong and the reason why is because Hong Kong wouldn't be the place that it was if it was lawless this lawless Can't exist. Well, that's the first floor. Yeah. Well, that's that's the yeah That's part of it is instead of have it you did it doesn't have to be lawless Uh, they Sorry, was your point that we've never heard of it before Well, my point is I I'm always concerned when these these new places that don't exist Just get invented on the spot for the shows and things and the ideas that they want My mine is that a lawless state like mad rapport doesn't exist. It can't exist How can they have skyscrapers or buildings or infrastructure? There's no laws Yeah, it's not like South Sudan. All right, like it's yeah, we have lawless places highly developed Yeah, we have lawless places. They don't work out really well.  I mean it's lit up like a Christmas tree. It seems to be a big first world Modernized skyscraper Yeah I mean, it's got that vast bridge like futuristic looking bridge that leads into it You get into mad rapport if it's lawless, do they have like customs or how do you get in? Yeah, why are they walking across the bridge? And if you could just walk in and this is a really nice place, why wouldn't everybody just come here and get and get rich? Yeah, if you just let people come into your amazing place regardless of who they are or where they're from And you don't know anything about them. Yeah, things start to go downhill pretty quick Uh So and and they don't extradite is something Sharon says like they don't that sounds like a policy Like yeah But yeah, uh, the two first points I've got here is clearly not lawless an extravagant place filled with the desperation for imports and exports They don't extradite meaning a system of governance has to exist They uh, despite the fact that they deny it and not to mention a bounty system in place Presumably authorities in short is completed in some way shape or form. There's got to be some form of ruling system You see the idea that it's lawless The only way that would work is in the most superficial of set like they have a bunch of these rules that are enforced by people But they're called laws. You're like, okay Lawless but not really Yeah, there clearly is like they say it's lawless, but there definitely seems to be a This person gives the orders these people obey it.  Don't believe it at all makes me kind of wonder why they even bothered to say it's lawless Um, presumably they're doing it to make it sound badass because uh, it's like, oh anything can happen here It's the old bets are off. It's like, well, no not really because even if it's like mob rule There's probably a whole and look at the place clearly. There's rules.  It's weird if you want to argue. It's like it's not traditional Well, that yeah that the bitcoin apparently cracking bullets. Um, the idea there's like it's not traditional authorities Not a traditional government or something like so calling it lawless.  Mm-hmm. Well, it's supposed to look really really cool. I was like, oh, look at this. It's cool Wow, what a cool place. Um, it's not on my list But I would also accept that like the idea that we have never heard of this place before But it's specifically useful for the plot line in this it's just like we need a place that's this this this this like this place Exit and for anybody who's like one wait, but madre pour is a real place in in the uh, the comics like that is not enough Don't care. No, it's not. Yeah So I'm trying to think of what the next issue with madre pour would be I'm sure I had it The one thing I will say is that some of the categories I have might be stuff that could be categorized in either The will building or a particular character.  Yeah, country countries would want to claim that land that especially a city like this they want that Yeah, they'd come in with an army and say madre pour is part of this country now I was about to say if they don't extra that as well That's something that would be exploitable and you'd imagine the other governments that have a problem with that Why doesn't every criminal go to madre pour?  Uh, also, what do you when you say they would people come to destroy it? What would be the the motivation there just to clarify? It's a it's a it's a place that is lawless where criminals congregate and it's a tiny little island country Why would we not just come in and be like no no, you know what we're coming in.  You're all here.   I think it gets taken over like pretty quickly. Um, yeah um Especially why would you allow this place to exist? Yeah, because the nature of this place is that it will negatively impact the world With how it's set up. What a great stuff. What two or three points. That isn't all my list And um see I was um That that pertained to madre pour specifically. Yeah, they go in on a really nice bridge don't know how the bridge is upkept Um, how do they why do they get there by walking across the bridge? Yeah, so they arrive walking across the bridge and then a car comes from madre pour stops and then they get in the car And then the car takes them the rest of the way Why yeah, I mean I mean did the did the filmmakers just want to show off the bridge? I guess they wanted a shot of madre pour like an establishing shot that they thought looks cool Also, they do that they do that trope of explaining what the mission is when they're almost there Instead of yeah, this happens. Yeah, that's one of the issues with the first fight And that opens up the the show. Is that right before he's jumping out of the plane? He's getting briefed Aliases to him while they're crossing the bridge it's like Yeah, they're explaining things way too late. Yeah, you'd think you'd be if okay So the success of this mission and very potentially our personal safety Relies around you convincingly playing this character Which mean that you need to study him Learn how he operates learn his speech. In fact, here's some videos of him talking and giving presentations or or being out and about Here's how he moves. Here's he has this accent Um, here's what his name is. Here's a list of kin Here's you know, the things he likes to do. Here's his favorite hunts of madre pour Um, no, it's just no you're smiling tiger here be him Oh, it's even worse It's even worse because okay, so one of the things I wrote down is that he's specifically told the character He's playing is african and he makes no attempt to have any sort of non-american accent Well, he doesn't try to Yeah, he tries to like speak at all that he has to but then he does he does several times But they don't notice that he doesn't speak Like an african man They notice when they say his name the people who wrote this show they think if you're black That you're just magically an african person Wait, hold on If if they I don't know if this is a world building one or a sam one, but like Surely people know what this guy looks like, right? Well, it's another yes And and he does look similar to sam quite a bit So the criticism I would say is do these people not know who falcon is?  So there's no newspapers or internet service providers. So they don't get you know, they just don't get filled in Yeah Wait, which one Which ever one's we're done so that we Oh, I have there's a thing a lot of what you guys imagine so far already. I've got my list just more because this is more I think we're just test subjects for your videos I think the fact that he makes no real attempt to personify the character. He's playing is a huge flaw. I would Yeah, yeah, but the thing is I guess that ties in with the What uh rax just said about zemo not giving him anything It's like, what do you do if you say well, I guess you complain like why isn't falcon saying anything? I need help. He doesn't even do what they give him you know And does uh, I does zemo know enough to know about his favorite drink having like snake Eggs in it or stuff like that that might cause him concern. Well, this does he think that all black people like snake eggs? I don't know. That's kind of a quite an assumption there zemo, but but it's for a marvel joke It's funny.  You're not drinking You're like, oh shit, all right or that could be something that Sam says is like I'd love to but you know Urgent business gotta keep my mind in the job Yeah, gotta we won't be here long places to do gotta do tiger stuff You know me me that tiger guy so um That tiger guy Right, uh the bartender recognizes him but like So how does that work? Yeah, yeah, he recognizes him as I want to make it a bit easier to go for maybe some oh actually finish your thought Because it sounds like you're nearly there I mean, I feel like the bartender would recognize a regular coming in especially one as high profile as smiling tiger You know enough to say you want you want your usual Like he recognizes the person in the drink that they have but he doesn't notice that this isn't that person I mean, I agree about that. Hmm. I mean, what if they knew it's like smiling tiger was elsewhere? What is smiling tiger? Yeah, where's the real smiling tiger? That would be awkward Oh, that could have been a cool scene that they had where he sits down at the bar And he inadvertently sits right next to the real smiling tiger who's in the bar that would be kind of funny Yeah, it would have been but forget I it'd be funny and this show doesn't give a shit What if what if he gets the drink right?   Okay, whatever I don't think it was very clever of them to do in the first place. I'm just trying to help with We're trying to make the best of a bad situation I mean in terms of uh, yeah go ahead Um, why is it? That you why can't sam just be some guy Why does he have to be smiling tiger? Yeah, well, can you just be literally like one of zemos? Why can't he just be it? Yeah, why can't he just be a dude? That would allow him to talk to this woman. Sorry. I just said that's a no no way Yeah, I I don't get why you would put up the incredible risk of trying to impersonate a high profile well-known Gang lord dude when he could just be a guy with zemo Especially because him being smiling tiger isn't what gets them the meeting and it fucks the whole me in Yeah, I don't I don't get a reason why he's smiling tiger It just makes things really difficult for him later on for drama. Yeah. Oh, that was dumb of zemo Uh, I I kind of want to I want to put these ones down because I already know these are obvious So with the sharon one was she just like how did she know that they were there? Why was she set up a sniper ready to kill this person? How did you find them later on? Hey, what do I say about one at a time? No I'm always supposed to cross these off. I can't remember what you just said. Sorry. The first one is wish How did sharon know that they were there? Uh, yeah, we so knowing that she's the power broker does that help this at all How does it help? Why would you why would you know that they're there in madra pour? Well, so I think you can go even earlier than that. What are the odds of her being in madra pour? Uh, pretty low.  Yeah And is she not concerned about the consequences of killing this person the whole like what are the odds of her? Being here and at this time in many portions of the entire madra pour scene.  I don't know how any of it makes sense Also, is this I don't know if this is if this is like a retroactive one But if she has that mask, why isn't she wearing it like all the time? Why would she risk being caught as the sniper? If she has a piece of tech that can completely conceal her identity Why isn't she just wearing that every time she goes out basically that was weird even? Yeah Well, yeah, that's the problem is like once you introduce it's like why aren't you wearing this like all the time?  You can't that's that's the real answer to that question Somebody took a picture. You're done Nobody but that's that's not a mad report issue So well, uh, yeah, that that wasn't even like someone else thinking about because I was writing these as I was sort of going through But like yeah retroactively she should be using that mask Yep, a one for falcon is that he didn't put his phone on silent. He'd use it Have the scene with the phone.    Like person is he a another someone who's been tailing them or Like who's the sniper and I guess she was supposed to be the sniper Which brings in a lot of interesting logistical questions that my brain just couldn't You know figure out or solve like how do you how are you there?  Um, how did you find them afterwards and nobody else really did? How come everyone forgets about the bounty? Really quickly.  Let me let me figure that out for a second Was that actually the price a thousand bitcoin? So they got a thousand bitcoin Uh and bitcoin in us dollars to make it easy for you guys because obviously comes up Well careful though, they don't have the same economy for bitcoin as we do Uh, yeah, but it's okay. So she was going to get so it's worth 48 thousand dollars So you add three more zero. So it's like 48 million dollars and that's after it's kind of crashed a little bit lately Well, I was just gonna say though, but like couldn't bitcoin could be completely different in a post blipwild I don't it's still a lot of money like Is what I the reason why they cited it was because it was a lot of money But it was yeah, surely it's supposed to be a lot of money like a thousand bitcoin That's how they win as writers, right? They're like, it's a lot you go How much a lot how much though specifically how much a lot like no just a lot is like and I guess that's good enough You know, it's a lot of money Okay Yeah Wait, does she have like a text alert system for everyone in madrefour? Yeah, just when she gets shot does a text message just automatically go outside. I'm dead And how does anybody know who killed her?  Oh, well she says that um So for the presentation of the deal and good faith, she gives a crumb of detail But once they finalize the deal she'll give it the rest And the deal is that she gives them anything Well, yeah, it's it's it's just to give them the name so they can work with it, right Lot wise, but for some reason she decides I'll give you the name and and once you get me winter soldier for realsies Then I'll give you the rest I mean, I don't know that's really bizarre Does she not know that like winter soldier participated in the battle for like well, I would summarize that as number 14, which is boop No one here knows that bucky barns was pardoned That yeah, that's also the thing and we hadn't really even gotten much into bucky at all. Um But yeah, I think this show this entire show It's it it plays very very conveniently with when people are or are not Recognized when they should always be recognized pretty much everywhere Because in this world they are super celebs. They are one of the avengers essentially and you know the winter soldier Extremely famous and high-profile individuals No, they're not I've had a lot this stream, but it's that's how it feels when you watch this show No, it's the simpsons reference. It smells Okay, all right then. Yeah, it solves that All right, what else we got? Um, I like your notes here.  Right out the moment so we died Um So for selby, um, I think it's super duper bizarre that after that phone call From a high-profile crime boss in your office.  Oh number 19 And it says There's selby thinks that someone having an alias or having not revealed their real name is an impossibility And that they must die for it in a in a place where People in a lawless place full of crime lords and intrigue and probably double crossing and all of these mafia games Yeah, using an alias What? No, you should be using your real name all the time just like I do Just like the guy next to you called the winter soldier I love it. If like it hangs up. She goes sam and then like they raise the guns and he goes Do you think smiling tiger was my name? But more I got one for selby like why didn't she try out those uh secret words for uh For bucky to test, you know to test his winter soldierness She kind of just accepts it. Oh, yeah, he's uh, he's the winter soldier We'll give you give him data whatever I suppose like usually people would test their merchandise before buying, you know If she doesn't know the words and then she would be like bucky or zemo gimme the words That would be like a part of the probably end of their transaction. I imagine right you wouldn't want to do that before You know, what was their plan after their transaction ends? Good point That's not what it's on my list, but I was thinking about it as I was summarizing. I was like, wait, what if this went through? What do we do there?  Well, as we learn there aren't any so I guess they we're really looking into the future with that one Everybody records bucky killing those people while beating them up and there are no consequences for it. Ding number 15 yeah thought so Uh, we were sure because they take the time to show us everyone recording him We were like, oh, that's gonna come up, but it's gonna be really annoying in the plot It'll be like you can't do something because of this They didn't even do it. Nope. He's got rocks. Yeah, the Because in episode uh four they have everybody pulling out their phones, you know at walker and it's a big deal But here when they pull out their phones, it doesn't matter Oh, we're the because these are the heroes. So, oh, yeah, it's fine Uh, when else we go anything else? Let's see. You've got one issue there. I've got two for Zemo. That's just it's zoomed in a little bit Is it a problem?  I think we went over that but uh, yeah, I think as far as the list Yeah, that was the whole why bother with smiling tiger thing. Um Uh, let me see Zemo. Um, oh sharon. Why wasn't her record expunged? Why wasn't she uh, why wasn't she why didn't why didn't captain america help her? Uh, I didn't include that in this list because that's like That got brought up like the second the scene ends when they have that conversation It's like, all right, let's talk about sharon and her position in the world how much it doesn't make sense We'll probably do that in a bit, but yeah, it's fair Christ, um So I get zozemos plan in the bar is to have winter soldier beat up a bunch of people so that Um, yeah, so why why did he do that? Um, I've got the buck, you know, I have a problem with doing that Like why is he cool with that number 21 is managed to win his way to salvi by beating the shit out of random guys Despite being unwelcome. I don't know what else to say about that. It's just weird. So it's like Yeah, that seems like the opposite of what would get you an audience. That's that's the opposite of what you do Yeah, like if she didn't want to talk to you before It's weird that beating up a bunch of people and causing problems would definitely That could have killed you guys. I mean everyone had guns there. Yeah. Why didn't they shoot him? I mean if we're going with oh We maybe that's what keeps everyone in check is that everyone has guns.   That'd be a pretty cool thing to do Oh, oh, it's baron zemo. He's super duper rich. Oh, look. He's talking right next to an adventure. Oh my gosh There's the winner soldier bucky barns, but he's Does anybody care why zemo is out of prison?   Yeah But yes, that would that was a fair flaw. You could say like they've been caught now 100% Everyone definitely knows who broke out zemo and if and if they're going around beating people up and if for I don't know Does it count as a foreign nation? I mean It's still trouble making abroad. So I guess it probably falls under the You know the blanket of you just broke someone out of prison zemo of all people and you went to this place and you started beating people up Flouting his you know Winter soldier status and meeting crime lords like that's not a great look That's got some optics issues. I feel Oh Pretty much got half my list all over it else we go Still we got still five for matter for here a very mild thing, but like what kind of nickname is the power broker I just feel like that's at least a mass effect. It was the shadow broker and you're like, oh secretive I am confused about the status of the power broker. How did this all arise? When did you get all this sorted out? When did you come to mad report? How high status are you in mad report? How many people know who you are? They have the benefit of just yeah, that's a story for another time. You'll uh, yeah, whatever I never want to see her again Are you destroyed her character? So it's like yeah, yeah Further is like evil. It's like what how and why because she might be a scroll Secret invasion make sure you keep your disney plus subscription active Tune in next time Yeah One I just want to add in case it doesn't quite get uh Put on right so This is counted as a mad report one, but it's really just plot armor So I'm showing it on screen.  He's got his machine gun right there. He starts firing and this is this is all that happens Like oh he it's sparked in the background over there How did he miss? I don't know I don't know what happens in this.  Yes, and what why do you come back? Um, why didn't he run away?  He feels that they are his best bet at stopping the super soldiers Yeah, maybe he really just doesn't think they should die.  This is the three of them. All right the gunfires now they run forward and look where Zemo goes They maybe this oh, why are they running towards the gunfire? I don't know where the gunfire is even coming from. Oh, there's people on Oh, but those are just Dead No, they're shooting at him. He runs back. So Zemo is dead Well, no those people on the motorbikes. Are they are those just flares? What are those? Are those guns? I'm sure Is that the they're shooting in the air Yeah, it's flawless missing because it's flawless Yeah, they're just having they're just having a great time. Yeah, they're just shooting up into the air They're just having a each other.  They just drive away So but he's he's aiming at them.   This is I think that's what it's supposed to be Yeah, it's this is just madrepoor.  No, everyone shoots in the sky. They don't want to shoot at each other You know Yeah, because that will that would violate the nap if they shot at each other This is just like up in the air. They're having a great old time You know, it's it's a it's like a 24 seven party here in madrepoor because you know, it's lawless And that's what it would be madrepoor is free of logic Yeah, free of logic reason consequences to actions Terrifying guys. Well, so the thing I wanted to highlight right is they're running a straight shot forward to the camera Zemo's ran off back to the left And he's not looking at him. He's faced away He's running. He has no idea they could go left right diagonal even they could go back They could be like wait Zemo just ran over there. Let's go get him They run forward And let me put my copyright protection up here They keep running forward running forward running forward running forward the chased by motorbike people They've turned down some alleyways a couple of times somewhere And then the two motorbikes get shot and uh Zemo is just here He knew they were gonna be here He just knew No Just all right. So that is the other Zemo points like how with all of that. How did that just happen? I don't know. It's it's like a freak. It's it's a freaky street, you know Yeah, this is a street, but not like a normal street. We're like a freaky street freaky street. Yeah It's lawless and that the laws of physics don't apply either I see a theme of some of the points that are left are ones that you guys would make more if you had seen the scene More recently, so I do want to like help out a little bit, but uh The like magic magic pour itself When when selvi selvi just gets shot from outside presumably by charon. It's so absurd. I guess charon knew the jib was up I don't know. Yeah, can she hear How does she know what I'm saying? How does she know I think she's gonna be mad? I know because that's the yeah, so I want you guys to see this because it's one of my favorites All right, so you see this frame you got falcons beating up this guy And there's this little joey back here like oh my god What is happening here? I was making a cup of tea and now look everything's going wrong I'll play it again.  That's probably good for copyright actually and then the scene ends We did it. It's like wait, what about what about what about joey? What happened to him? Oh, he's my favorite character Also, I'm glad joey made it out alive. Yeah This seems so bad sam your sam is like, yeah Yeah What's gonna happen? You think everyone calls me mr. Tiger? Yeah, she just goes kill them. You're like what why and then she gets shot. Yeah, that was my sister She doesn't know about this. Oh my god. Her face came off in vlc. Look I love vlc glitches so much Uh, that means power broker was listening in and when she said kill them She's like right. I get to kill her now. Be like that's the only way I could possible And she I don't know how she's got bedded on the inside or something. I don't know Yeah, joey. We never get to see what happens to joey for For joey favorite car so much to live for Um, also.  They're never gonna be useful. I guess there were no more That was it Um, oh, yeah, that's another one. I've got which is just How would they have gotten past the presumed bodyguards and bounces? Hmm Like they just heard gunfire their boss is dead and these guys are heading out of the room. You'd be like, uh, stop right there question mark I don't know like they skipped over that scene. So we didn't see it I don't know what happened. I guess they made it out just fine. Yeah, I'm supposed to be fine Did so we think there would be no consequences for killing uh, the the snake oil man.  Are you insane? Yeah, and shot her. Yeah, his dudes.  Does it work the same for her as it does for him?  I hated you I guess Whatever they probably had issues and then she spots them coming out of the club and so she Resets her sniper to a building window that she presumes.  Like that like just in exactly the right place and exactly the right alleyway that she could not have possibly predicted when Because they ran in a random direction with motorcycles with guns on them. So it's just like I Yeah, teleportation Yeah, and and and then I've got one. I don't know if maybe you guys don't think this is too harsh I don't know but I just have one for like that bar fight Everyone has guns fuck. He's attacking random people. It's like he could easily have been killed and just isn't Yeah, absolutely.  So they do when something is lawless. It means it's the opposite of how everything works So like they don't they don't drink water. They drink air that makes They drink sulfuric acid Uh and glass is used as a a pillow Oh Yeah, it sees all last all opposite stuff Because that's what it means to be lawless. Um, we brought loads of problems with smiling tiger One of the ones I can't bring up is like man. Lucky. There's a high-profile villain person who looks just like you It's pretty freaking rare Yeah And uh, what do we got left two for mad report? What are these? Uh Yeah, so I think we would have involved this as we were talking But how are the three of them so recognizable as the three who killed selby within like seconds if you were getting a notification You need things like witnesses and like Like who saw them there doesn't seem to be anybody around there's just and and plus there's gunfire from outside of the building So I was like, oh, it's the sniper that killed selby.  You're just in I thought you were just some stripper. Yeah, like, how did you know that the people that killed selby? What's happening? It's it's oh the editing is painful. You have no idea where the timeline is. What's going on? Uh Which is and I've got one more flaw at least from my perception and it was wow lucky people just give up after they kill three Like madrop or something. Oh, yeah, we yeah, we said the bounty just gets ignored forgotten We just don't I just stopped like I I thought you meant that in like a world building sense That it's just gone once they're out of madrop or no one cares that it exists What I meant was more so just the action scene just stops for no reason Yeah, I yeah that was lumping that in with part of the bounty just ends so people have no reason to shoot them It just it's all over it's like they hit the invisible trip line and a cutscene started in a video game and when it's over It's all good and back because they have a they don't leave they have a conversation about zemo and charon And they're just standing in the streets like guys should probably go somewhere else somebody just comes along and Riddles them with bullets. Yeah. Yeah, that's okay. The plot's protecting them I genuinely think there'll be people who are like, well, no the power broker orchestrated all of it Okay, so it's all running the way she wants it to run Okay, so Sharon is super duper evil then getting all these people to get killed. She could have they could have died So if she orchestrated it that was a terrible plan because it could have killed them easily pretty much man, yeah, and so that's mad rapport I think like And they're absolutely more than that. There wasn't just those Yeah, well, I think the list kind of like came close to doubling with the about you guys added It's just there is yeah a lot of problems in this place Yeah, it's just every yeah this So many and you'll watch it and you'll be like, I don't know No, no, none of it makes sense. None of it works.   It's like, hey, I had it tough too.  Why wasn't Sharon contacted? Why wasn't Sharon brought in?  It's like wow.  He was thinking about her and he was like Oh, I just don't care about Sharon. I got I got my suit from her. That's all I wanted And so Sharon should be rightfully pissed, but the problem is I don't believe you writers I don't believe cap would have left her in the dust. I think you're bullshitting me I think you're lying But everyone just not even just cap alone man.  It's very cynical and bitter For no reason.   It's it's this depressing aura that just Surrounds everything that these characters are in do Yep, what a shame very cynical very And I think if the roosters knew about the so that the roosters were like or someone comes up and goes Well, what happened to Sharon? She's not in a endgame or infinity wall and they go. Oh, yeah I we didn't have really a time to cover it but um, you know, because she was uh, she was with cap I guess or she managed to get pardoned because you know She was punished, of course for giving out the wings, but uh, yeah, you know, it was fine And this one goes I'm gonna make it so that they ditched her and she became a crime lord in matripo And they'd be like Well, I mean, you know, that's yeah, that's just As you do As they're like closing the doors they leave the MCU offices.  They they wrote endgame, but at the same time for me like Oh, that wasn't that wasn't the plan, but you guys go right ahead I guess, you know, in a way, it's their fault. They should have had a throwaway line for her. I guess They should have had him saying like, oh, no, yeah Karen's doing good. She's doing great. I definitely called her Just saying They asked too late you left the door open and now they've taken advantage She was ditched and she's very furious about it and it it has led her to a life of crime, which by the way Um, I think southpaw was saying to me like oh, she's been assassinated.  So we got a lot of options. Um, but yeah, we'll just have to wait until the MCU tells us what's going on That's just still it's like, I guess cap student ballerata. He doesn't care Well, yeah, the fact that falcon confirmed that there was no contact is still terrible So they we can't fix that and like if you were writing after this, you just go no cap did contact me He just didn't tell you falcon.  You didn't find out Okay, guys, what are you doing? It's like you don't know anything.   You can stay here. I guess and then Sam's like we need help with this serum make a guy Give us give us help please and then she's like He goes help.   I'll I'll get you pardoned.  That's a deal It's Well, I don't take my word for it one to one the problem I take with it is that sam basically agrees in exchange for you giving us help and resources and for what she does If you remember all the fight she gets into I will get you reinstated, which is something that you deserve Right. Is he the problem? Right, you're exerting her for something that you believe that she's entitled to And yeah, they try and dance around it in the dialogue is what I'm saying She's like, I don't trust favors or whatever and he's like fine.   Well, he promises it. He reckons he can get it done and if you remember episode six He says I haven't forgotten my promise.  So I guess he had the power to just get her a part of has that Power.  She doesn't have it because plot It's like all that she did was give steve the shield and sam the wings basically It's like that is a crime for certain Compared to what bucky did it's like dude.  He's in way more trouble than Sharon is And yet he got pardoned.  It makes no sense.  He's in this thing He's got a lab down here the guy who makes the serum We've kind of been over the wheel building with what he explains here I'm gonna try and get through this a little quick There is the we'll do the the downstairs story and then the upstairs story. Okay, so downstairs They're like you made the serum and he's like, yeah, tell us about it He gives them a bit of information about um the key detail they get Is that he says he had a phone call from carly about Mama morgan dale mama megal fowl like the the woman who died That's the the information they actually needed. Uh, Sharon comes down after her big brawl Where she takes on like a bazillion people in a row and they all they all do the things they close the distance They're all weaker than her for no reason.   It's before her action scene has begun Um, but we know that like we're getting somewhere with this guy And so we've got to ratchet it up like we go you can't it comes to be this Does this not seem like a video game cut scene before you start the level Like this camera shot is this is the this is the area you can see there's a group of bad guys there Oh, there's group bad guys there. It's like that's the set. Yeah get ready to fight these. Oh look and there's a close-up shot They have these guns Some of them have different guns.  They're all there for the bounty Man, it'd be funny if you guys turned around and watched it back instead of all looking in the same direction Uh, don't you guys find it interesting that so there is a bounty that went out for the killers of selby It's like, okay. Where are they?  I don't know that you're involved.  He's the most important person in the world to her right now Uh-oh, why doesn't she just kill all of them anyway? Why is she no idea? I I guess because you could say her ultimate goal is to earn that pardon so that she can get access to information from inside of Shield, I feel like if you're the power broker that's just Well So this is the thing right let's pretend for a second you're the power broker and you have one goal Which is to satisfy sam's request to earn the pardon to get back into shield to get access to information That can be useful as your role as the power broker. You're like, okay Simultaneously, you do not want this guy to come to any harm because he's the most important person in your operation What do you do because sam wants to find him? You're like, okay, well Sam just wants information. Let's find out what it is. It's like sam wants to know where carly is Like, oh, well, this guy, what do you know about carly? I just talked to him as the power broker and you'd be like, well, she wanted this she wanted this She went here. She does this Like, okay Put that in a file And I will get it for sam and be like this is all I could pull from everything in madrapur related to You know carly's visits here and her operations here and you know, basically just a file She creates at her will that has all the information she wants to have in it It's like if this is helpful, which I hope it is which it will be because this is how it works out Um, she'll get that pardon, but the thing is You should get the pardon anyway So it's really weird this whole thing is and she loses everything she loses him the lab all of his data It's like it's all gone. So no more super serum and I start to wonder if Like I guess I have to watch it again. Does she care about that? Oh, no She gets into the car at the end of this episode and she's got like a an assistant and she's like Very bad things have happened. I'm going to explain on the way. It's like so she is upset that she's lost all of this Surely But she kind of seemed to orchestrate it.  And and Stam and bucky weren't watching him. They weren't watching him closely And they allowed him to get a gun so that he could shoot them This is the things he's like You'd imagine they'd be watching him closely the entire time because they just expect He'd do something like this and it's like this is on you guys. You you weren't paying attention Because I I don't know if it was luck or not The only thing I could possibly explain is that he's in the in kahoots with the power broker But that wouldn't make sense because she doesn't want the power power broker wouldn't want him dead Yeah, I I don't get why you know the gun I think it is just uh I well that it's it's so in line with the rest of the writing Which is oh zemo has a gun now Like oh, okay I guess he just has a gun now I'm trying to wait for the part where he does it because I he's looking around right now And I'm just waiting for it because he puts his hand under the desk and he just happens to find one It's like damn that's gonna be useful when this is the thing It's so interesting to categorize it differently as plot versus character Because it's like if you provide zemo a gun in this scene out of nowhere, you just literally poof it into his hands Then yeah, he would shoot that guy. So that's good. I'd say that's I'd say that's plot Yeah, because if zemo just was looking around for one maybe under a table or something like that Seeing as like they're a hidden gun somewhere in here in this lab. Maybe there would be um Then he found one. He's like, yeah, that's what he'd do. So that's what I'm saying That's what I mean about how it's so interesting to see the difference, right? Because like there is no character problem here at all. It's literally just if you had The circuit like if you literally poofed it into existence He sees this magical spell appear and the gun falls into his hand.  Like it's like, I don't know why this happened But I mean it gives me a chance to do the thing but yeah, um I maybe would have appreciated him looking all around the place instead of the first desk He looked into and put his hand on he finds a gun just like all right if you have to Um, I think they're probably just, you know, if we were trying to write this I think I would just have him find something in the lab Like um to kill this guy with I think like I think I'll pull or Smash a beaker and just drive it into his neck. That's probably something that We'll do some down. Yeah, I think I feel like he'd find a way Zemo. Uh, he'll get his hands dirty He did with that one hydro guy at the beginning of a civil war Then again, it depends on if the show thinks he's a good guy for doing it Whether or not we'll see a blood spurt or not So, uh, what's pretty funny is Sharon kills a whole bunch of people and then she like decides It's like well, it's time for me to go and tell them that they're in trouble As she does that and closes the door someone fires an rpg at the area and it's like Man, oh There's a lot of questions for that one. It's like first of all maybe open with it. Secondly, wait if you blow them up I I assume that you can prove they're your bounty still. I guess you I mean, yeah, there will be parts left.   But uh, yeah, they all managed to get out
