Surprised to see Spoiler:

Saw the first episode. Kind of a lots of twiddling thumbs but hey, it's the opener.
I was hoping for at least a glimpse of Zemo, but alas.

I find it hard to believe Falcon has no money when he worked with Tony Stark and all the other heroes.

They talk about it in the episode. And he's right... it'd be weird if Tony Stark was giving out paychecks to anyone.

We'll get to see more of him in that Armor Wars show.

Great start. Loving this new format for the MCU and how much closer I am finally getting to these characters.
What really irks me is not knowing whether we will see physical releases of these shows anytime soon, if at all. |

I also groaned at Bucky saying, "I tried the online dating thing."
Seriously, was this an attempt to be "hip" with the young 20-25 year old demographic of today? Are we honestly led to believe someone who looks like Bucky cannot get a date? And why are they promoting online dating in a TV show? |

I mean, it tracks that he wouldn't seriously be looking to, right? He was a mind-programmed zombie for many decades until like a year ago in-story (the 5 years doesn't count since he was one of the dusted).

Great first episode, already enjoying this much more than WandaVision!

It had the biggest Disney+ opening ever, beating anything of The Mandalorian and WandaVision.
https://www.darkhorizons.com/falcon-...disney-launch/ I mean, I guess that's fair. Falcon and the Winter Soldier S01E01 is probably "better" and meatier than either WandaVision S01E01 or either season premiere of Mandalorian, honestly.

I mean it's a traditional action series. Wandavision starts off as a black and white sit-com and people probably didn't know what to make of it if they didn't have an open mind.

These shows likely have even high viewships when you realize how many people are watching them on illegally streaming websites and don't have a D+ subscription. I always assume add another 10 million people on top of the official ratings since there's millions who just watch this uploaded anywhere.

Another decent episode. Seeing Carly Lumby as Isaiah Bradley was pretty neat, big fan of guy since his work on the Justice League animated series.
And now that Eli has also made his MCU debut, I definitely get the feeling they're slowly building up towards a Young Avengers team up.

I liked the second episode but it's mixed for me. A lot of the writing is exposition that sticks out like a sore thumb. I like these characters though and the fact that we're getting to know U.S. Agent.

I worry that if WandaVision ended up being a high concept, high potential series that didn't really pay off much beyond setting up a movie we won't even get for a while now (Doctor Strange 2) while jerking us around a bit expectation level wise ("Are we going to see big X-Men stuff? Other universes??")... this show might be more of the same. Only instead of ending up teasing a movie, this show will just provide a bigger teaser for "Secret Invasion" on Disney+ (which WandaVision did as well) which is going to end up being the new "Defenders" culmination, watch. I bet even Loki will show up.

I'm a fan of "Star-spangled Man With a Plan" from First Avenger, so hearing it referenced in this show made me smile wider than it ought to have.

Way too much gay pandering for shippers in this ep for my liking, but otherwise a good ep. Also funny when the police arrived they arrested the white man (Bucky) instead of the black one. I bet there is some sort of social commentary here.

As soon as the cop asks Falcon even the first time what he's doing... right away I was going, "Oh god... please tell me they're not going there right now. There is no need to go there right now. The show was doing so great until now..."
