Hello All,

I felt trepidatious venturing into the first few episodes Falcon
And The Winter Soldier series. But I surrendered to the flow and
finished the first season and enjoyed the journey.

The effects were well crafted. The story-line was compelling.
The humour was peppered sparingly.

I've seen some of the Avenger series full-feature films in the
past, (the first 2 Ironman movies, for sure) but after a while
another one of them disuaded me to continue - I forget which
one. I think it was Thor: Dark World - the one with Loki. I
just couldn't finish watching that one.

However, F+WS has made me curious to how the original Captain
America "dies" and ceased to exist, and why the world entered
into such a dark time. Apparently, the Avengers:Endgame film is
supposed to cover that aspect.

Sofar, I like what I've seen. The beer-bellied Thor is
hilarious. I am not sure of the origins of Rocket the racoon,
but maybe I'll work my way backward in the timeline to find out.

the bad guys in the falcon and winter soldier are the ones that want it to go back to when there was the snap, i believe.

and captain america didnt die or cease to exist. he just retired in the past.

Rocket is the result of some experiment (Guardians of the Galaxy I).
If you want to enjoy the MCU you actually need to consume most of its films. You may skip the Spiderman ones and the Fantastic Four ones (are these
ones actually MCU?). I think this is yet another reason not to jump into it since the MCU requirtes a big investment from you :-)

The F+WS made a reference to his death. So, I assumed he was
killed. But the Endgame revealed the death was probably from old
age. But there is no clear reveal of an actual death. With the

I think I've had enough of those movies right now. The
liberties of time-travel make it too easy to "fix" things.

I tackled the Endgame film in about 3 sessions. I simply got
tired of the time-travel trickery. Ok.. so Capt. America
returns the stones to their respective timelines.. so that
basically puts the stones back into play and an opportunity for
things to repeat themselves. Sheeesh.

I'm not sure where Thanos comes from, but that dude had issues.

the time travel part didnt seem like it took up too much of the movie.

they put the stones back where they got them [but they didnt] to preserve the timeline [which they didnt].

they sort of overlooked a few parts where they screwed it all up

I very much enjoyed it, and the ending brought a tear to my eye!

As for Endgame and the rest... I actually recently went back to
the beghinning and started watching the entire MCU again - but
this time catching the movies I havne't seen (so far, just Hulk)
and adding in the television shows. I'd seen Peggy Carter Season
One as well as Daredevil Season One. I'd also seen S1 and most of
S2 of Agents of Shield. Now I've seen those 'again' and also others
that I had missed - I'm on S2 of Carter now and I've seen Jessica
Jones. Boy that's a contrast...

Yeah - they have to repeat... Remember when Tony Stark was

the people that were removed" (paraphrasing). He didn't want
to undo his daughter!

I'm not sure where Thanos comes from, but that dude had issues.

I really liked the MCU-adjacent shows like JJ, Luke Cage, and The Defenders. Iron Fist not quite so much.

One thing that's made me laugh lately is watching "reaction" videos on
YouTube - watching hardcore fans watching SF content and losing their sh*t when things happen - like the ending of Mandalorian S2. Tears were flowing.

There was a video of the Endgame battle with Thanos, when Thanos has Thor on the ground, and, well, we all know. The people watching went absolutely
crazy - I'm not sure where they filmed the reactions.

Hey, do we know what happened to Mjolnir, post Endgame? Captain America brought it with him through the time portal, but didn't come back with it.

be a webisode - make it so they go back again and no one would have a memory of the altered timeline.

there were a few pre-Disney Marvel shows on Netflix.. they're all pretty good. and they're tied up quite nicely at the end with all of them coming together for The Defenders. i think most people would agree Daredevil was the best of the lot, perhaps followed by Punisher. so i'd watch them in whatever order makes sense but saves as much of those for last.

It was probably engineered into the story to cater to that

I think I forgot about S3. :( S2 wasn't as engaging as S1.
MCU fans should check out Heroes for a "realistic" twist on
humans with unusual powers.

I went back and watched Season One again and stopped. :-)

I might do that too. At the time, I could only watch them on
broadcast tv and wait a week for the next episode; by then, the
emmersive feel of being vested in a story was gone.

I've started Thor: Ragnarok. It was out in 2017. 2013-2018 was
particularily a dark entertainment period for me, and I didn't
really care about films and TV in general - so I missed that
one. But I like it! I'm only up to the point where Thor is
trapped in that "stupid chair" and some kind of contest is about
to ensue. Visually, the film is beautifully done. The humour is
nice, but helps to give pause to the more gruesome parts like
the killings that Helo likes to do.

The scenes when Thor is talking (or trying to talk with) Dr
Strange were funny.

I don't *think* I've seen Guardins of the Galaxy (apparently
there are 3 of those films). They have Groot, and Rocket.. I
don't recall ever seeing a film with them. The films were also
in my media-dark period of 2013-2018. But a few reviews make it
sound GotG to be a worthwhile try.

them coming together for The Defenders. i think most people would agree Daredevil was the best of the lot, perhaps followed by Punisher. so i'd watch them in whatever order makes sense but saves as much of those for last.

I liked the detective noir feeling of Jessica Jones S1, loved that all of
the shows centered around the same neighborhood, so you had a common feel.

Krysten Witter in a leather jacket, engineer boots, t-shirt and old levis
does it for me, I gotta admit.

If Marvel has a time machine, I want to go from MCU to Iron Sky and somehow get to Kung Fury.

Post Black Widow, otherwise the movies would be all about them making out.

I don't *think* I've seen Guardins of the Galaxy (apparently
there are 3 of those films). They have Groot, and Rocket.. I
don't recall ever seeing a film with them. The films were also
in my media-dark period of 2013-2018. But a few reviews make it
sound GotG to be a worthwhile try.

Guardians of the Galaxy movies are the best. Loved them.

When I finish Ragnarok, I'll give the GotG a go. A this point
in my life/time, I'm not interested in wasting time watching
crap.

Yeah, that, but I'm specifically talking about (trying to
avoid spoilers for anyone like me that doesn't want details
before they see it) -

the statue...

It was probably engineered into the story to cater to that
demographic to emphasize equality as humans.

Could have been, but if so I think they 'pulled it off' quite
well! I didn't get a 'better than vibe,' like when earlier
in the series someone called him the "Black Falcon" and he
just Falcon. Something to the effect of "you're not 'black
kid,' are you?"

Not long ago, there was a Tv series called Heroes..

I LOVED loved LOVED the first season!!! Was one long story
and was really engaging! Then S2 seemed like a "well that
worked, let's try again" and then S3 jumped the shark 'for
me' - YMMV.

I think I forgot about S3. :( S2 wasn't as engaging as S1.
MCU fans should check out Heroes for a "realistic" twist on
humans with unusual powers.

I went back and watched Season One again and stopped. :-)

I might do that too. At the time, I could only watch them on
broadcast tv and wait a week for the next episode; by then, the
emmersive feel of being vested in a story was gone.

I don't mind the wait! I think it helps build anticipation and
speculation. :-)

My wife is the opposite - she won't watch something with me until
she can binge it all. LOL

Did you ever watch Dollhouse?!?!? That and Jericho! WOW!!!

Briefly. Sounds like Westworld, but using humans as the
programmable hosts.

I guess, in a way, but like Westworld there was a story beneath
the story going on...

I missed that... But it could also be a secret that he's
alive, and the 'world' thinks he is dead...

Anything is possible in the MCU. :/ Now that they have time-
machine technology, they can flip flop any storyline they want.

Someone mentioned that there was a reference to Capt. America

I mentioned that. LOL

I tackled the Endgame film in about 3 sessions. I simply
got tired of the time-travel trickery..

Did you watch Infinity War first? Or just went straight
into Endgame?

I went straight to Endgame. I don't recall ever seeing Infinity
War. I guess that one explains Thanos' rampage.

Well it was a build up over several movies, but Infinity War, to
me, is part of the story. It and Engame could ALMOST be two parts
of the same movie.

I thought the funniest part was when they were explaining how
time-travel works by mentioning how it was used in other actual
films. :D

Yeah. :-)

I'm not sure where Thanos comes from, but that dude had
issues.

I don't remember it being explained in the movies, but it's
obvious he's a powerful being from 'out there.'

Sounds like I will spin-up Infinity War at some point, soon.

Well it won't be as exciting, now that you know how it ends, LOL, but
still a great show!

I liked Luke Cage a lot. Iron Fist was generally kind of bad about 2/3
of the series. For the most part, the Netflix treatment was pretty
good, I'm pretty disappointed that they couldn't reach a deal moving
forward, but it likely came down to Disney+ concerns in the end.

Mike Colter (Luke Cage) went on to a series called Evil, which is pretty
good as well. Looks like they'll be putting it on Paramount+ instead of broadcast for season 2. I'll be taking to the high seas for this one, I
can only handle paying for so many different services at a time leaching $7-20/month from me.
