Falcon and winter solider

So, there's a lot of stuff from comics that didn't happen, too. Walker and the shield part ways in a completely different manner in the comics. In the comics, the Power Broker plotline isn't just about super-soldier serum, and includes Ultimate Class Wrestling and addiction.

Yeah, Ultimate Class Wrestling was so a missed opportunity
could have done so much with Poundcakes and Butterball

The episode shows Sam is willing to serve, and work with the government . . . but the cool thing is, he doesn't need the government's approval. I agree, they are likely to give it, but . . . Captain America doesn't work FOR the U.S. government anymore, he works WITH it.

Exactly - after what he's done on camera, in the eyes of the people he is Cap, whatever the government wants.

Does U.S. Agent work for the government now? It's implied, but . . . .

In the comics... Yeah, U.S. Agent is what the name implies, an agent of the government.

In the comics, the Contessa was a former top agent of SHIELD. So, I'm expecting here she's actually working under the SWORD banner here, and we've already seen they aren't particularly nice people.

Is Batroc dead? He got shot but we didn't see his last gasp. I wonder.

Sharon was wounded, but she had plenty of time and motivation to double-check him while Karli and Sam were fighting. No way she'd leave a loose end like that.

"Spellman assembled a nearly all-Black writer's room for the series, which has been praised for bringing the Black experience to the forefront not quite like any other superhero film or TV show before it."

I guess the article writers never saw Black Lightning...

The Arrowverse shows get very little credit, in general, so I'm not surprised.

And after Batwoman that's not a shock!

I can generally enjoy the first season-and-a-half of any given Arrowverse show, before they drown in angst. These days I just don't bother starting them.

Yeah, The Flash started as my favourite show but by season 3 it had become unwatchable, Arrow went on way beyond its useby date and Black Lightning became overwhelmed with is Black Cred.

I stopped watching the shows, only tuning in for a binge of the crossovers when I had nothing else to watch.

I did watch the first episode of cw’s Kung Fu, it was okay, more superhero than the Carradine version too, so it would fit in the Arrowverse
