T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
It's entirely possible he could appear, but idk if the MCU wiuld care
they have really been going out of their way to vilify Walker while trying to make the Flag Smashers sympathetic. Yet find that real hard to do considering that Karli and her crew are still just a bunch of terrorist.
Good points here. I took that scene the opposite of Frontier and slightly different from ZeroBG82. I felt that John's was lying to justify his actions, not spare the family pain. Him telling the family that he killed the man that killed Lamar was meant to cover up his mistake. He didn't want to face Lamar's family's anger. (Though you could tell in the scene Lamar's sister knew something was up).
I like this idea though, that John's motives could be taken in either direction. And ultimately John is morally ambiguous. Even under my belief, that he lied to spare himself, doesn't rescind my feelings that John was caught in bad circumstances, that he tried his best, he tried to do what he thought was right, and failed. I empathize with JOhn greatly.
Thanks bro. For me, let me clarify, I felt that the fight scene was a little off due to the choreography. It seemed a little choppy, the techniques weren't clean. It tried to be an exciting scene and it was because of the drama. But the fight quality could have been better.
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
Personally I feel like they've done a really nice job of keeping them both somewhat ambiguous. Walker has done bad things, but his reasons aren't always so obvious. You can easily ascribe relatively noble and sympathetic reasons to all of his actions, even as he seems to be spinning out of control. You can also see him as a quite sinister figure if you choose, but probably as some shade in between.
As for the Flag Smashers, they are idealists. They genuinely want to change the world, in their minds for the better. That's admirable, and that they step up and do the work is inspiring in a broad way. Their methods are more dubious. But even then, only Karli has done anything that genuinely pushes them into the land of terrorists. They were vaguely Robin Hood-y thieves, stealing from the well stocked to supply the poor. Fighting against corporate and wealthy interests hoarding things the vulnerable need just to survive. Their sympathetic motivations make us want to side with them to an extent.
But Karli has killed, on more than one occasion and seems increasingly heading down a path best described as unhinged. The group as a whole is letting themselves be led to war by a what appears to be a madwoman. So they are also more complicated than their ideals and their motivations. Can the ends ever justify the means, even if the means are evil?
I am enjoying the complexity. Nobody is fully good, or fully evil. They are conflicted, and layered, and may even be lying to themselves about what they are really on about. It feels very human to me.
To me the Flag-Smashers seem like dumb kids whose intentions are good but they don't know any better so they're lashing out.
Granted all of them are adults so it kind of just makes them seem even worse.
That is the point I was making above about the difference between Steve and John. John has been operating in that morally ambiguous area for years and it affected him. He admits as much to Lemar when they are talking about taking the serum.
I think there are some people out there that just can't get past that.
I really hope Eli shows up in the next episode like I just want them to set him up like they did Tommy & Billy they got hella clout from WandaVision I want Eli's treatment in the MCU to be better than it is in the comics.
Idk if that'll happen for Eli here considering he's not as central to the narrative, at least so far. But at least the ga is becoming more aware of him
I very heavily suspect that La Fontaine aka Madam Hydra will appear in front on Zemo and say something like " I am putting together a team" with General Ross standing next to her at the end of next week's finale (possibly a mid-credit scene).
