Not to get political on this topic, but since the show did...
I have to wonder. Was the "One People, One Government" movement supposed to be an indictment of the 'Globalist Movement' (as in Globalist vs Nationalist), or was it an indictment of the perception Nationalists have on the Globalist movement?
I felt like Batric was a waste - he could have been another low-level villain that could have stayed a thorn in Sam's side. Although, I guess I don't remember Sam having anything to do with stopping him. So I didn't see the connection there.
I have always liked Sam, and continue to like him and his character's evolution in the MCU. The Captain America corner of the comic book Marvel Universe was always may favorite of the big three (Thor, Cap, Iron Man). Probably why I rank the Cap part of the franchise highest IMO.
I liked Isaiah's story, and the tie-in to real-life events. I really enjoyed the fleshing out of "Uncle Sam" and his relationship with Sarah. I was hoping we'd see Bucky have some more interaction with her.
I can't comment on the struggles of a black man, and how this series represented that. I would think it was authentic, given the world we live in today, and the potential for harsh criticism is if wasn't authentic.
I'm ready for where this is taking the MCU next. I feel like this side of the MCU is going for a more ground-level approach. This is setting up the Thunderbolts really well. Zemo, Val, US Agent. I *loved* John Walker, and felt he was portrayed accurate to the comics, and his evolution was on point. He is flawed, and he is patriotic, to a fault. US Agent is a good role for this character.
Just sad that we've got to wait until June now for Loki.
