    So Sam does his own maintenance on his equipment that Tony Stark made, when Sam is supposed to just have been a military man with 0 mechanical engineering training? He had to contact Stark Industries to get Red wing replaced and no one at Stark Industries was like y'all need one of hundreds of satellites or top of the line tech to find these people or nah y'all good. Flag Smashers are a global problem seems like that would've activated some kind of pop off beacon for all these multination mega corporations that the Avengers have connections to.

    Gonna rewatch that episode because I can't recall the wording, but they did make a point of having him say he had no idea what PW looked like as he had never met them, which was kinda crammed in and awkward in the conversation. At least, it stuck out to me at the time.

    Falcon's suit came from the military (admittedly, its probably due to Stark)

    In the first episode he mentions that the military techs working on it don't know what they're doing and messed it up. Let's assume that only the most experienced and qualified are dealing with tech of that magnitude.

    Wasn't it mentioned in one of the episodes he was an engineer before enlisting? Maybe even ep4?

    And again, do you make the same "why isn't everyone there it's a global problem," with every superhero movie/show? Because you could. It'd be hilarious, but yes, you could.

    I mean, is that more unbelievable than creating super soldiers with a serum or godlike beings from other worlds deciding earth is the place to be, or the fact earth is always central in the most critical fights in the freaking universe, or that non-super soldiers can actually fight said godlike beings without getting killed pmuch instantly? You're picking a hell of a hill to die on considering the material.

    Episode was awesome.

    Show has been consistently good except for ep 1. I don't know what the haters are smoking.

    Spoiler: show
    That final shot of the shield with all the blood was awesome

    They literally sent the Winter Soldier, Falcon, Captain America, and whatever the second black dude was before they killed him of course

    The rest of the avengers are busy and accounted for, or dead. Half of them are off world/dimension even

    He was not an engineer

    Also the whole cinematic universe showed why Earth became the battleground. They brought the infinity stones to earth. Basically anywhere an infinity stone was became a battle ground.

    Thanos pretty much did kill all the non-super powered humans who got in his way and even put the super powered ones in check. There are plot holes with the script, that can be admitted and the show can still be enjoyable. But because of the way the MCU is set up you need~have to see everything they put out to keep up with the story and characters.

    They wrote Bucky to be at conflict with himself and his previous actions and all the murders he's committed because he believes he's irredeemable then he just has Zemo running wild capping everyone and everything and Bucky's like this is fine to get what I want even though Steve would've hated that.

    Why does Superman only help Metropolis when he could realistically spend 24/7 helping everyone on earth? For the narrative’s sake.

    I mentioned nothing about the roster but the tools at their disposal. Tony Stark tech is at the level to create time travel and they're not phoning in the Stark Industries like "Hey Sarah, my sister, got a threatening call. Can you trace it?" Or we're looking for these people can you use some of that facial recognition tech you have at your disposal.

    Then you get Injustice Superman when he "saves" the world.

    Yes, because it makes sense they would have hidden multiple stones on earth, right? Sam isn't a super soldier, but he can knock them over in a fight? He and others can take a punch from them and jump right up? Really? I can go on and on and on with the herp logic you're slinging around here.

    Anyway, Milkster gonna Milkster.

    There was only one stone stone on earth it was the tesseract. Oh so you agree that this show has problems with consistency then too. Awesome.

    Jay Kay two. The mind stone and the blue one.

    But technically the tesseract was in Asgard before it was left on Earth.

    Time and Aether were both on Earth I thought

    Scratch that, Aether was taken by/possessed Jane when she went through a portal.

    Oh, ok, so they decided to hide one of the most powerful things in the universe on a planet with beings that have supernatural powers. Instead of, idk, a chunk of rock and ice that's uninhabited in the middle of nowhere. Wasn't the time stone on earth entrusted to some wizards as well?

    Basically the infinity stones have moved throughout the universe and dimensions since the beginning of time except for the aether and the one on Vormir.

    The whole point of the avengers was to stop global threats. Would the flag smashers be a global threat?
