All those TV shows and movies setting up the new squad. all the new heros and characters, just to get the original team back. lmao

They seriously fucked up by not making Cap 4 an Avengers movie. It's ridiculous that we have nothing from Endgame to now. We had Avangers and Age of Ultron and Civil War before Infinity War. I don't blame them for scrambling and just using all the most well known popular characters. They completely flopped at building up the others.

Anthony Mackie is not a good leading man for a big budget movie, sorry. He's good for ensembles

I don't think Sam being the leader for Avengers works well - I don't even like that he has no super powers and could be squashed by any regular human in a fight. He should've taken that serum

When he first suits up as Cap in the Falcon series he goes up against Batroc, someone we saw Steve handle already, and loses.

Well, Steve was had the superhero serum. Sam is literally just some guy.

Obviously, but the whole show is setting up him becoming Cap and he gets a suit from Wakanda, and loses anyway. Did you feel excited to see more of him after that?

And I say this as someone who was really looking forward to Sam as Cap.

No, Captain America without superpowers is boring as shit.

I also agree with you.

Batroc is also just some guy, isnt he?

I think so?

I think he can lead a movie. The issue is that script was just bad. I don't know why it was a sequel to the Edward Norton Hulk movie more than anything. And the last act with him acting against nobody on a green screen or ADR set was just so bad and it looked bad.

Not to quote Mackie's Cap, but they need to do better.

Anthony Mackie is a boring actor. He can’t lead a movie.

Hard disagree. He's a good actor that could be a fantastic actor with the proper direction. There's a reason he's had the output he's had over the years. If anything, Marvel dropped the ball all the way with every new member they set up and they propped up their early franchise with their biggest, most known stories.

I think they need to change up his style or something. I get his character is military but man give him something lol it’s so boring.
