- I hate Sam's head sock. It just breaks up the lines of his beautiful face and the angular cut of his hair. Why, Marvel, why. Also the bulkier shoulders. It just doesn't look right on Sam.

- John Walker had a redemptive moment that actually made sense? I feel like he's pretty well set up to be US Agent. He works well as an executor of government goals.

- Loved the way Sam's wings and jet pack were used to give him the extra boost in the fight against various superserumed people.

- Batroc remains dumb imo

- Yay finally a named Asian woman gets to do something!

- Sam's speech, while good, was a bit too long. Like, he makes good points, but he could have made them faster. For example, pointing to Karli and just being like, "she was willing to give up her life to protest your decisions. Why weren't the people being impacted in the room with you when you made your decisions?" And being like, "of course it's complicated, don't tell me like I *don't* know it's complicated, I'm a Black man wearing stars and stripes." and then the bit from the end of his speech about believing in moving forward together.

- I figured that Sharon Carter was Power Broker, but ... I'm still not sure about her justifications, and ... are we supposed to assume she was evil even during Civil War, or did she go to the dark side after being rejected by the government?

- Isaiah Bradley gets an exhibit! Although I somehow don't think the exhibit includes the fact that the govt imprisoned and experimented on him for 30 years. It shouldn't just be that people will now know what he did for America. People should also know what America did to him.

- Weird that I kinda came out rooting for Zemo??? Like, he's not a good person, blowing up that transport van was not great (although people being thrown in the Raft is also not great). But he gets my grudging respect for sheer consistency's sake -- when he says "no superserum", he fucking means it.

- The Sam and Bucky hangouts at the end! YUSSSSS


Now I just have to insert Steve back into these things so that I can once again ship Samstevebucky properly :)
