    Coincidentally I thought of another reason to hate this show yesterday. There's a theme in the show about how no one cares about what happens to black military veterans or soldiers and the Isaiah guy or whatever his name is, is the example of that happening. But when US agent's BLACK friend and SOLDIER is killed by a terrorist infront of them all, the only one who cares is US Agent, Sam doesn't care and neither does bucky. What a shit show.

      You see this a lot in everything. A story is like a box, the moment you declare something is bigger than it, the meta-focus and structure from a writing perspective collapses. Same with jokes, same with games. The story must be above all, or it will be killed. To think otherwise is the logical and I don't know...philosophical(?) Equal of saying "This body is less important than making the point that x is good for you" Then being surprised the body is sickly and all sorts of messed up. Or you know, deceased.
      You just can't have something be more important as a agenda than the story for it. Because you can have ideas from the message done in an interesting and engaging way, but that also open up the message and themes to be actually engaged and engaging with the idea is not the point for these people, merely laying it down and claiming social capital and force from it.
      A good example of progressive ideas being tackled is snootgame. A character is nonbinary and you can engagte with it how you like. The game dosen't reward you for being antagonistic because being just a general douche to someone, even if that someone themselves si a douche, is not going to result in anything but distance. I won't spoilt the game/ story if you ever try it. But in the end the game respectfully deals with nonbinary idea by treating it as an actual idea. That being it's a tool used to explore and question oneself. A good one or not, that's what it is.
      Naturally, because the game actually use it as a tool and thus treat it as something that can be picked up and then said as "Wait, this isn't helping. I might just be 'normal'" Got it a lot of flack. Because for many of these agendaist and people. The intent and idea was always to become the new conformist power structure they criticize stereotypical pre-80's traditionalist for but with a new angle for getting their foot in the door.

    "They were told they were getting tetanus shots"?
    Remember how the scene played out in Captain America 1? He gets that one little regular shot, and he says, "That wasn't so bad." And Stanley Tucci says, "That was penicillin." Then he gets the 6 freakin' tubes of blue liquid pumped in all at once, sealed into a chamber and zapped with "Vita-rays" so bright that people outside the chamber had to shield their eyes from the light spilling out the small window. And all the while he's yelling out from the pain.
    Now imagine this playing out with these Tuskegee super soldiers. Every one of them totally buying into the notion that this was the standard procedure to battle tetanus. I mean, try to write this scene in a way that _doesn't_ play like outright parody. This would have made for an absolutely hilarious skit on something like In Living Color.

      And this was pretty much right after Erskine’s death, too, so basically the _only_ part of the successful procedure they still had was the chamber (since it was intact and Howard Stark was still alive).
      Not using the chamber when they were still trying to recreate Erskine’s formula would be like having your car’s engine stolen and declaring that you must now build a hovercraft from scratch.

China and India would probably collapse overnight, since they would get the biggest spike, while a good chunk of Africa would be just... ouch.
      Just this premise alone (read: half the Earth's population disappears, and then returns five years later), in the hands of a good writer, would be enough for a whole series of contemporary/sci-fi books/comics/etc., but instead it was just unceremoniously swept under the rug, because the MCU just didn't want to deal with it. Probably because every "auteur" writer/director they hired wanted to tell their own pet stories, and adhering to continuity would've gotten in the way.

In response, the government of Venezuela seized the plant and forced them to restart production, claiming that the greedy capitalist were hoarding the product. Not long after the plant ran out of its last reserves of syrup and because the country still had a sugar shortage they could nether acquire more syrup nor produce a replacement themselves and had to quietly shut down the plant.

    Nobody said that Falcon couldn't be Captain America because of his race, but Falcon himself. He could have the shield from the beginning If he wanted to, but he decided he couldn't because he was black. Steve didn't care about that, Bucky doesn't care, Walker or Zemo don't care.

    Sam Wilson is more famous in their world than Anthony Mackie is in our world. The fact he isn’t recognized is genuinely absurd and a borderline plot hole for the sake of some really badly executed social commentary.
    Unfortunate because social commentary handled with tact and purpose could’ve fit really well in this series if they hired competent writers.

    Incoherent as it was, I THINK what we’re supposed to take away re: the super soldier serum SSS is that Shield was trying to replicate it from Cap’s blood (First Avenger, Civil War) but got stymied when Howard Stark was killed (dunno why, he’s not a biologist) and the samples stolen.
    John is dosed with whatever the government managed to recover after the Hydra infarction from their attempts to rebuild after Howard’s death. If Agents of Shield is continuity, it’ll be amongst what discount Thunderbolt Ross (characters actual name escapes me but the actor did a great job) managed to retrieve after Coleson helped him retake the Toybox.
    I got the impression the terrorists were using bathtub/meth lab attempts to replicate the the serum from Widow’s file dump (Winter Soldier), even though there’s already an underground version of supersoldiers from Agents of Shield…
    AoS was done dirty…it was kitchen and a bit shonky but they moved heaven and earth to keep continuity until Disney told them they didn’t matter…

    The 5 year "blip" definitely ruined the MCU permanently.
    The thing about Marvel and the MCU is that is takes place on an earth that is effectively our world + super stuff. Even more than DC that has its main characters in Gotham, Metropolis, Fawcett City, Central City, etc.
    The key to maintaining that tone, is to keep the superheroes as separate as possible from the overall global zeitgeist. You would mostly treat superheroes and their missions like you would treat special forces, cops, and rescue workers and their missions. How many firefighters in our world can you name? How many famous marines can you name?
    Superheroes should not be treated like celebrities except in some cases like Iron Man who was a celebrity before he was a hero. Thor and Sam Wilson should not be recognizable in their street clothes.
    Remember Winter Soldier, when Cap and Natasha went around in regular clothes, undetected? Compare that to Taika Waititi making Thor immediately recognized on the street wearing regular human clothes.
    Remember in Iron Man 3, when Stark was recognized in California, near his home when his iron man suit was parked outside the restaurant, but he walked around unrecognized in a small midwest town... except for one Tony Stark superfan you recognized him?
    The 5 year blip breaks this rule of layer of separation to the utmost degree. Even with events like Avengers, and Avengers 2, most of the world is only hearing about the events and seeing crappy footage of it. With the blips, literally the ENTIRE Universe down to all animal life is DIRECTLY impacted by crazy Infinity Gauntlet magic... forever altering the MCU to be COMPLETELY different from our world. It's no longer "our world plus superheroes"... it's now a radically different world that trying desperately to maintain the tone of our present reality.

    • @shagohad3
      @shagohad3 Месяц назад

      That logically wouldn't have worked. If anything, the MCU should be becoming less and less like our world. Who knows how many tons of alien tech rained down on New York. The government would have every single one of its scientists working to study and reverse engineering it. They should be pulling an x-com and equipping their soldiers with reverse engineered energy weapons.
      They've had the War Machine armor for even longer, so they should have power armored divisions.
      10 years on from Avengers 1, the advances from that alien tech should be hitting the civilian field and drastically changing how they world functions.

    The blip would likely send most of the world back to the stone-age, if not the entire world. We take for granted just how integrated the world economies are. Assuming the blip even impacted fields of expertise equally, can you imagine losing half your farmers all of a sudden? Half your engineers? Half of your power plant operators? And even if we assume that only half the people need half the food, are the farmers equally distributed? What if you are left with ranchers exclusively in south africa? The world would not just be a "cleaner" place (as they show in end game). It would be a hellscape similar to any post apocalypse. Nations would go to war to secure what little resources were left while trying to figure out how to survive with half the talent that kept the infrastructure going.
