So, I've been thinking about Fal/WS a bit. Mostly because, since I mod on reddit, I've been dealing with a lot of... whining about politics (and the sweet sweet fun of banning the whiners).
What I don't really understand is that... white people haven't been directly challenged in the show at all.
We have had what... one cop being a dick to Sam for no reason and then Bucky

saying steve and him never thought that giving a shield to a black guy would be hard for him |
end of spoilers. And then the bank guy, which could go either way (was he being racist or was the Wilson family a bad investment especially due to the snap? Debatable imo).
That... that is really it. You are talking about a combined what... 3 mins in 5 hours of show?
The Isiah talk was just a history lesson in comic book forum that people should already know about. It was literally PULLED from the comics... so why are comic fans bitching about the show being "too political!! I just want to watch a comic book show!"
Other than that... the government never took the shield from Sam, Sam willingly gave it away. Theyve not shown any TV talking heads talking bad about Sam. If the comic book show really pulled from the comics... Spencers run was much more "direct" with how conservative media would have handled this.
It just really seems like all the whining and complaining is that they either don't know the history AT ALL so they think the Isiah stuff is "marvel pushing politics!" on them... or they are projecting so hard and made so uncomfortable by any mention of race stuff that they run tot he internet to bitch about it.
IMO... if anyone should be "uncomfortable" about the show, it should be black people right after Isiah's talk. His ending sentence is a gut punch. Black people should be bitching about politics because the talk took it out of "fun fantasy land" and put it right in your face.
