People in this thread when falcon and winter soldier came out: these episodes are 20 minutes too long, make em shorter and do more episodes People in this thread when loki comes out (probably): this show either needs to be 20 minutes longer or 20 minutes shorter! Pretty simple, if you're going to have long episodes you need to be able to keep people engaged. Wandavision had the writing and story that could handle it, falcon didn't. Loki I would imagine could have a story that can work, just depends on how well it's written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember anyone saying a shorter season with longer episodes with Wandavision. That seems strange as hell It was another 6 minute credit season too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike030270 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I complained about the short episodes but definitely didn't want a shorter season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way - I found myself checking to see how much time was left in every episode It had it's moments, but after the first 2 episodes, WandaVision was much better IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerpat Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So after bailing on Wanda Vision I went back and watched once all episodes were out. I stand by my opinion that they series just started too slow. I get that Marvel typically delivers, but the first 3 episodes could have been condensed to one longer episode and gotten the same setup. It did turn out to be relatively enjoyable, but I really think they made a mistake with the slow start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did turn out to be relatively enjoyable, but I really think they made a mistake with the slow start The first two episodes essentially were one, they both came out in the first week and the cracks were beginning to show in episode 2. Clearly got more noticeable in 3 then took off from 4 on. Two weeks really isn't that long IMO, and all 3 of those episodes combined were just a bit longer than one Falcon episode so on a straight rewatch it shouldn't be long at all.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Did anyone else hear the rumour about Captain America 4 is going to happen? I guess it's not a huge surprise given the Disney+ series but still that's exciting. And apparently Chris Evans won't rule himself out of the MCU.

Evans has reportedly, but not official so still unconfirmed, signed on for two more movies. My guess not large roles and they’ll be in either flashbacks or cameo appearances. But I doubt he has any major role moving forward. Kinda like the Ancient one in Endgame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he makes a couple of appearances. I still feel like there is a really good movie there with Cap returning the stones and his encounters there. I think that raised a lot of questions!

They could have added episodes once it got rolling. I was stating that dragging out the twist for so long forced many to check out and IMO didn’t really add any value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Makes a good point: They change the title at the end to Captain America and the Winter Soldier. So Sam completes a transformation, but despite Bucky's story being about moving past the Winter Soldier that's still his name. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part I didn't agree with was the very end and how he didn't really like Sam taking up the mantle cause he is gadget focused. At the end of the day, who really cares as long as the job gets done. Everything else though, spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
