- Quotes
Sam Wilson: Steve represented the best in all of us: courageous, righteous, hopeful. And he mastered posing stoically. The world has been forever changed. A few months ago, billions of people reappeared after five years away, sending the world into turmoil. We need new heroes, ones suited for the times we're in. Symbols are nothing without the women and men that give them meaning, and this thing... I don't know if there's ever been a greater symbol, but it's more about the man who propped it up, and he's gone. So, today we honor Steve's legacy, but also, we look to the future. So, thank you, Captain America, but this belongs to you.

I thought this was a pretty good start to the show, with a fairly explosive introduction to one character and what seems like more of a slow psychological burn with the other.
For me so far the story is decent, but I wouldn't describe it as compelling, as it feels like plot threads are just getting started. I found some of the potential themes, using such concepts as the Flag Smashers and the desire for a new Captain America symbol to be more intriguing than the characters themselves, particularly when cast against the highly divided world we live in today. So I think it will be interesting to see where the writers go with it.
As for the new characters that it introduces, such as Sam's family and Bucky's friends, it's a bit early to say if they will add any value to the MCU world, but they all felt genuine and connected to the story in a plausible way.
Regarding the spectacle, as with most MCU products it does action sequences with thrills and top drawer effects.
Performances were good but there didn't seem to be anything hugely challenging for the actors so far.
For me it was a 7.5/10 but I like to round upwards.
