I didn't like Falcon and The Winter Soldier myself. For a number of reasons. This article explains some of them: www*forbes*com/sites/erikkain/2021/04/27/the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-review-biggest-problems-preachy-politics-captain-america/
Thank you for sending me THIS article. The author neatly summarizes most of problems. Most, because I would also add the fact that TFATWS retcons some stuff from previous MCU movies, the timelines of some stuff just don't make sense and Sam and Bucky are sometimes OOC. And I hope that Sharon is a skrull, because otherwise her character doesn't make sense.
The biggest problem with MCU now is that they have a world that had a giganctic global crisis after 50% of the population wanished. Probably famines in some regions, wars in others, maybe even a few countries stopped existing at all. And five years later, when things started normalising, the population of the whole wolrd doubles in one day. There is no food for these people, no jobs and no place to live. Probably new wars because of it. Generally a very interesting settings for a story, but instead this show ignores all of this and hammers to the audience a message that.... racism is bad. And we should "do better". What exactly that means we will not know because the answer is too complicated, and Disney just wants simple stories with familiar faces. They sell better.
I can see them do that. But singing & dancing to “Oh No!” instead.

Did anyone ask for human!Overlord burlesque with "Toxic Love" as the intended music?
Many of us want to help Ukrainian people during such terrible times but not everybody can do that directly or has enough money to donate. There are ways to still help tho - for example watching videos made by people promising that they will donate whole ad revenue to the charity, yet it is not unreasonable to suspect some of the creators to be scammers, not all of them will publish proof of donation, right?
1) Fortunately, channels like Watch to donate ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJH1K31TTLYhux3v1Yb3NQ ) exist. They have their own website where they publish proof of donation to the charity for all their videos, each dedicated to another important issue. https://www.watchtodonate.org
Link to video made to help Razom (https://razomforukraine.org) fundraiser for helping Ukrainians - https://youtu.be/Ath4IxAYOB8
Watch to donate already engaged in raising money to fight climate change, aid indigenous people, support girls and women in Afghanistan, prevent LBBQT people suicide, and so much more! Videos created to support this important issues are still on their channel.
2) Moreover, they have collaborated with artists, for example Michelle Teh - all money made of streaming her song Life Update on Apple music and Spotify will go to Project Hope, they also help in Ukraine (and in other places in the world as well). Their website states that
,, Founded in 1958, Project HOPE is a renowned global health and humanitarian relief organization. Our lifesaving work addresses the world’s greatest public health challenges, transforming lives and uplifting communities. “
Link to Life Update on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/24V6frSTVC8PD5XwBB5E1y?si=143fcd711be64760
3) Watch to donate have their own game (available for free in google play app), according to them it makes 20 x more money than youtube ad revenue, it includes three games, each for different issue. It’s called Play to donate. Profits from ads on main page go to Project Hope

5) Since the begining of Ukraine crisis (genocide of Ukraine people by Putin and his dogs) World Food Programme does what is the most needed to help suffering people, proof of their work is published here https://www.wfp.org/publications/situation-report-ukraine with newest reports stating that ,, Since the beginning of the conflict, WFP has reached over 3.8 million people with in-kind and cash assistance and will continue scaling-up its response to assist up to 4.5 million people.

High-profile Russians have left no doubt in anybody's mind that they are intent on committing genocide in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin and his ethno-nationalist minions are intent on wiping out the concept of Ukraine as a country. That is what genocide is about as defined Article II of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Vladimir Putin, along with other Russian officials and state-controlled media, openly declare their objective: the obliteration of the Ukrainian nation. The machinery of Russian state propaganda promotes a genocidal mindset towards Ukrainians among Russian soldiers today. In Ukraine’s occupied territories, Russian forces are fulfilling their pledges through a series of atrocities, exemplified by the unearthing of mass graves and torture facilities in liberated cities such as Bucha and Izium.
You can see all ten quotes in the main link at the top of this post. But this is one that is particularly odious.
“[Ukrainian children] should have been drowned in the Tysyna [river], right there, where the duckling swims. Just drown those children, drown them right in Tysyna [river]… Whoever says that Russia occupied them, you throw them in the river with a strong undercurrent… Shove them right into those huts and burn them up… [Ukraine] is not supposed to exist at all,” Anton Krasovskyi, former Director of Broadcasting of Russia’s state-funded RT, said on 23 October 2022.
Putin and Company are basically Hamas-on-the-Volga. And we shouldn't be distracted by events elsewhere from the genocidal activities of Putin's Russia.
The Russian military’s aggression against Ukraine has resulted in numerous documented war crimes, as confirmed by international organizations, human rights NGOs, and Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office. The International Criminal Court (ICC) initiated an investigation into the situation in Ukraine on 2 March 2022, encompassing potential war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Furthermore, on 17 March 2023, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and the Russian Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, on suspicion of a specific war crime: the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories to Russia during the invasion.
Yep, Putin is a wanted war criminal. Despite that, there is a Putin Caucus in the US House of Representatives encouraged by Putin vassal Donald Trump.
If you are in the US, contact your representatives in the US House and urge them to make aid to Ukraine a priority. Any House member of either party is worth a message – though you may wish to skip any Republican with a grade below a C on this list.

If your rep has been supportive in the past, a quick thank you is appreciated as well as good manners.
Support for democracy at home and democracy abroad are linked. People who are 2020 election deniers are almost always Putin apologists.
Let Frank punish them!
okay but now i wonder if Frank is gonna hunt down all of the corrupt cops and lunatics who stole his symbol to use as a symbol for hate... because I need real world far-right idiots who do that shit to be finally fucking called out by marvel for turning punisher into a hate symbol. it's about time art reflects real life.
Oof, that’s mistake #1. Never underestimate Megs even if he’s Mini.
Has Grimlock ever gotten in a fight with Megatron?
Yes. It didn’t end well for him (He underestimated Megs since Megs is smaller than him. He had to tag OP in).
He’s still quite sore about it.
