#tfatws 1.04 the whole world is watching

[kyysis-nyx]

Just our boy Sam Wilson out here actually making Baron Helmut-friggin-Zemo reconsider his life choices lol. Obviously, it doesn't quite stick, but still quite impressive.

Even after everything Zemo did, after how vehemently Sam was against working with him at first... He's willing to listen to him, hear what he has to say, and then try to reason with him.

Because, just as we see with Karli, Sam doesn't automatically see the bad. Sam genuinely believes there is good in people, and he is willing to latch onto that good and try to work with it. It's what makes him such an interesting and beautiful character, and why he's Captain America.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: 1x04 “The Whole World Is Watching”

Just a few notes because I’m too wiped out.

The “you are free” scene. Oh god. 😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️

Of course Zemo is playing his own game and trying to fuck them over at every corner, no surprise there, still fun to watch.

Okay, maybe Sharon isn’t the power broker. We shall see.

Ahem, I see what you did there, Marvel, and I don’t like it. So, because half of world population disappeared, countries were suddenly nice to immigrants and the poor and gave them housing and jobs and honey and milk was falling from the sky?

Nice playing into the overpopulation myth. And by that, I mean not nice at all.

You want to tell me that if there were half less people in the world, no one would be poor or homeless or unemployed and everyone would have nice comfortable lives? Yeah, right.

We know that it wouldn’t be so, because there was only half of world population on Earth already – there were around 3,5 billion people only around 1970. And there were still poor, homeless, jobless people and quite a lot of them (actually that was another depression era, due to the oil crisis, if I remember correctly.)

And if anyone would argue that perhaps that’s still too many people, guess what? There was only a billion people on Earth at the beginning of the 19th century and even fewer way back in history and there were always poor and downtrodden people.

Because the problem is not too many people or too few resources. The problem is that whether in feudalism or capitalism or whichever system we invent in the future, there are always people who are greedy and want to hold power over others. The question is whether the rest of us (the majority?) will ever learn to stick together and hold the greedy and power-hungry in check so they don’t hoard the resources for themselves and how will we achieve fair and equitable distribution.

*sigh*

Back to the show.

Very well done parallel between Lemar instantly saying that he would take the super-soldier serum in a heartbeat while Sam likewise said he wouldn’t.

Again, there was a moment of hope when John Walker seemed tormented about the serum/super-soldiers – or that’s just me wanting to be hopeful. Of course he otherwise acted like an entitled American asshole the entire episode and ended killing a man with Captain America’s shield in broad daylight on a (I think) WW II monument (or something like that). And the whole world was watching.

What an apt episode title.
