This was a lot more enjoyable to me than last week's entry.
I think Sharon Carter had more screen time here than in CA:TWS and Civil War combined. Hopefully we get more of her before the series is out.
Loved that the very first thing Zemo did upon seeing Bucky was try out the activation phrase on him. His pleasure at "controlling" Bucky during the bar scene was almost palpable. I bet there's fic out there.
Did not see the Dora Milaje coming at the end, though it makes perfect sense that Wakanda would move swiftly once Zemo's out in the open. Excited to see where that goes.
Isn't Madripoor supposed to be in the Malacca Strait? I don't think I saw a single East Asian there.
I spent a LOT of my attention and energy this entire episode looking intensely throughout the crowds trying to spot anyone even vaguely Indonesian looking, and came up almost completely empty except for one goon who you see half of his face for a split second during the cargo container fight. I'd be disappointed if it weren't so utterly predictable coming from Marvel/Disney. They kinda can't help themselves! I try to bring this up as a point of emphasis from time to time where applicable, but don't want to sound like a broken record. This is just how it is for Asians in this country, we are invisible.There were Asian people there, but yes, this was... probably just Atlanta?
Uh... Freeze it in liquid nitrogen first?It occurred to me during today's episode that Flag Smashers is a dumbass name for a group. How the hell do you smash a flag?
Really does seem like they’re running down that road already.One wonders if Not!Cap is one of those people who is perfectly nice and 'good' in public while being a complete monster in private; a sociopath who knows exactly what the public wants in a 'Captain America' and can emulate that expression without actually embodying any of those virtues.
I can see why they have have thought the optics of an East Asian country where everyone is a hardcore criminal may not be great, but just make up a different fake place. Madripoor's an interesting city and "vaguely disguised Atlanta" wasn't what I wanted at all, and did the Asian erasure thing again.I spent a LOT of my attention and energy this entire episode looking intensely throughout the crowds trying to spot anyone even vaguely Indonesian looking, and came up almost completely empty except for one goon who you see half of his face for a split second during the cargo container fight.

Yeah that echoes all my sentimentsI can see why they have have thought the optics of an East Asian country where everyone is a hardcore criminal may not be great, but just make up a different fake place.

I'm here for this.
I do wonder how Loki having the Tesseract is supposed to "break reality," though. This isn't like the Avengers plucking it out of the timeline entirely, which is what the Ancient One was warning Bruce about. It's still in the alt-2012 timeline, just in a different place. Shouldn't be a problem.
