Sharon’s fight scenes were probably the best I’ve seen with a female fighting multiple males. She has to go with tacit and targeted strikes because every time they strike her, you can tell it takes it’s toll. She fights exactly how she would be taught to fight in hand to hand combat training when you have a much larger and stronger opponent.



There was a video of 2 or 3 guys running up and taking a guy's girl's purse and the guy fighting the group. Sharon kind of reminded me of that when she would hit and stun one for a few seconds and then go to the next and tun them. She chipped away at all of them until they were down. The guy did the same, he would punch one and get them stumbling and then go after the other until they were off balance.

I have actually thoroughly enjoyed this show so far. The fight scenes have all been reasonably down to earth fights, there has been depth added to the characters and the acting has been really good. It is different than Wandavision and will most likely be very different still from Loki. The MCU shows have been well done and thought out so far adding a nice depth to the universe which is a great use of them.

I enjoyed the episode and I'm enjoying the show.

The one downside for me is sometimes things seem a little too plot driven rather than character driven. ie: Characters do things to move the plot along rather than the logical thing for that character.

An instance from earlier is that I don't think Sam would have ever gone along with freeing Zemo or would have worked with him. I'm not even sure Bucky would have gone there.

In this episode, the Dora Milaje came across as morons by letting a fight with Walker distract them so that Zemo could escape. (Granted, they have never come across as particularly level headed, but for God's sake, keep your attention on what you went there to accomplish).

What I did like was they tried to present both John Walker and Karli Morgenthau as complex characters with both sympathetic moments and shortcomings. Granted, they were more successful at that with Walker (especially for places like this board), but they didn't go black/white for either. Same for Zemo.

I also liked that they kind of tied up having super soldier serum floating around. By killing the scientist, smashing most of the vials and killing off some of the Flag Smashers (and I'm guessing arresting others that were incapacitated in the fight), that should tighten things up.
