Falcon and winter solider

[Zaukrie]

I liked, didn't love, the series. It felt too much, for my enjoyment, a set-up, not a story with any kind of end. Which it was...... But even books in series have natural end points. This didn't feel that way too me. Others will disagree, that's cool. Also, I really struggled with the whole, where are the other heros when the grc was threatened, which I get is irrational while watching this kind of show.....I liked the overall tone. I liked alot, I just didn't love alot.

Honestly we dont need this scene

I'd like to ask - Who is "we"?

I work in banking (the tech side, but still). The term you're looking for is "redlining", and it very much was a big deal. There have been laws enacted to combat redlining, but it's still a thing, and very much is a big reason for setting up the playing field unfairly.

Absolutely. I see it in hiring at my company as well. I’ve seen Black folks apply, time and again, very qualified, very experienced, and nothing. I don’t think there is a single Black employee at my company in my district of 20 stores.

It's not that I disagree with the message being send. Quite the opposite, I think it is a very important message, especially in America right now.

However, I don't like being preached to. And that is exactly what the final episode did. Perhaps I wasn't the intended target of the preaching, but I sure was part of the audience receiving it.

This. I keep myself informed, but I go to my entertainment to get away from real world issues(assuming I'm not picking a documentary or something to see an issue). I stopped watching the Oscars when every other speech was about a pet political view. I stopped watching football games in which saw players kneel. If they make a Captain America with Sam I will stop watching it if it's as political as this one. There are many avenues to get the word out and in my entertainment is not one that I will accept.

Part being the key word here. You're not the entire audience. And if you don't think the scene was applicable to you, then you were not in fact being preached to; that scene wasn't directed at you.

Certainly you can just let that scene slide since you acknowledge that it very much was needed for a large part of the audience not you, right? Take one for the team, so to speak? Not take it personally?

I'd like to ask - Who is "we"?

when the ratings go up or down its a "we". the we is the reason Dr who ratings went into the toilet , its the reason batwoman is in the toilet, star trek not resonating in ratings

this is both sides fyi-Politicians don't like a certain person on tv the try and threaten the advertisers . advertisers then have to weigh the risks of losing money

if certain we's don't like you they destroy you on twitter and you basically become a modern day wicth or scarlet letter

the nba tried this last year and the rating went down. football is trying to grasp it /baseball is avoiding it
the whole world just watched what happens when you mess with soccer (unrelated but same principle as its a "we" )
when the Oscars/awards how started politics etc the ratings went down

back to the real world here- the steve rogers guy goes to the bank to open his autobody shop-no questions asked? im calling BS on this

first thing -Steve rogers gets a credit check. strike one and maybe the only 1 if its bad. in many situations what happens is people who have good credit and live in areas not as privedleged get taken advantage of by older family members when they are of credit age .Same goes if employment especially if he wants to work in finance. If you cant manager your own money they don't want you managing theirs

Steve rogers wants to open a handburger stand and wants to buy the stand from the current owner (lets say its tony stark). Tony wants money down and a contract. If Steve goes to the bank he presents tax returns and assets statements. If those are empty hes not getting the loan unless the government backs 1/2 the loan and then its a short term loan which is done through a bank

If this was a major problem (in the us as I cant speak for overseas) then we would know about it

Redlining is a crime
theres thousands of these types of crime-Its fairly easy for these banks to get caught and they would pay huge penalties for doing this. we are no longer living in the wild west

exact opposite-we in the usa have institutions of higher learning (top ivy league) delibertly limiting a certain race (because they would most likely be the majority race in these institutions. that's racism!

So basically, you're saying the declines are because of backlash from misogynist and racist white guys when women and/or black people start acting like they have a voice in things?

Also, I really struggled with the whole, where are the other heros when the grc was threatened

Well, Tony's dead, Natasha's dead, Bruce is recovering from having channelled the infinity stones to save half the universe, Thor and Captain Marvel are off-world, Clint is retired again, Wanda's in a log cabin dealing with her own issues, Vision 2.0 also has some issues to work out, T'Challa is presumably sorting out some things in Wakanda.

I guess Rhodie could've showed up, if anyone gave him a call?
