    Yeah, you gotta feel kinda bad for Anthony Mackie. Poor guy really getting shafted because the writers can’t do anything decent with the MCU properties anymore.

      IDK if people just watched Endgame and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, they wouldn’t be surprised that Sam is Captain America

        I mean, sure, he’s getting real paid, but being stuck in the contract means he can’t choose to be in better films that might get him more well known as a serious, good actor.

        Instead, he may just languish in relative obscurity because while he’s been in great stuff prior to the MCU, the MCU has taken a lot of his time away from more quality projects.

        He’s a good actor, and on some level I’m sure he’d appreciate being known for his talents and not known for being a forgettable MCU star because the writing was so bad, no matter how much money he makes.

        But who knows maybe he’s happy with the money and doesn’t give a shit if people think he’s good at his job or not.

                …also Will Arnett and Thomas Haden Church. What I’ve watched was pretty fun so far. Honestly surprising for how bad the story was in the original Twisted Metal.

        Tbf, The Falcon series was pretty good and touched on some subject material that’s otherwise almost completely absent in mass media.

      I actually watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, just didn’t realize a movie was out.
