There were a few flaws, but I liked the ending and the messages that this show sends. On Sam:[SPOILER]I really liked Sam's character arc in this show. He really earns the title of Captain America, and his suit is awesome of heck. His style of fighting is unique and really cool, I especially love that he uses his wings to keep his balance and thrusters to help with his attacks and saving others. I wonder if/when the government will officially make him Captain America, which could come up if there's a second season to this series. I love what he does for Isaiah and how he takes his own path. His point on them building the country and being worthy of fighting for it is spot on, but I wish that he didn't have to do the fighting. What kind of a reward is it to have to work for your country in exchange for building it? [/SPOILER]On Bucky:[SPOILER]I wish his character arc was a bit better and that we could see the reaction of the old man, but it's enough to know that he's made amends with what he was forced to do and can move on, while never forgetting the bad that he's done. I'm glad that he and Bucky were eventually able to become friends by the end of the series. He's Cap's buddy, both for the first Cap and the third Cap. If there's a second season, I hope that he gets a bit more of a character arc, possibly going more into him being the MCU's White Wolf, but this is a fine way to end the season. [/SPOILER]On Walker: [SPOILER]I liked his moment of slight redemption, and I'm excited to see what he does in the future. I'm assuming that they're going to lean more into the "man with good intentions but the wrong actions" in the future. He gave up revenge in order to save some lives, which makes him a "good guy" right now, but his future as a government agent may cause trouble for Sam and Bucky in the future. Especially if Sam doesn't officially become Captain America, which could cause them to go outside of the law a bit. Him giving up the claim to the title of Captain America is a good thing for the character, but I wonder if he doesn't hold a bit of a grudge towards Sam for it. It could make an interesting story for the second season, so I'm intrigued to see where this character goes. [/SPOILER]On Karli and the Flag Smashers:[SPOILER]I don't know what to think of her ending. I'm assuming she actually dies and doesn't manage to survive/be revived, but with Marvel you never know. She seemed to be willing to give up other lives in order for her cause, but not her own life, and ends up paying for it. She also doesn't know when to back down. She probably could have survived if she surrendered to Sam, and that could have ended up revealing the identity of the Power Broker, but from a narrative standpoint it makes sense for her character to die. Villains that have a point are typically more drawing to me than pure evil/selfish ones. Zemo has a point about power corrupting and the abuse of symbols, the Flag Smashers have a point about the injustices done to them and those like them, and Isaiah (though not a villain, but certainly antagonistic at points) has a point about not wanting to fight for a country that doesn't fight for you. I wish that Karli had been a bit more idealistic and smart in her plan, but the character had to die for the story and her apology at the end makes up for it a bit. I think that the Flag Smashers are truly gone, but one can never be sure with Marvel. It was more than a bit anticlimactic for them to just die in an explosion out of nowhere. It seems like most of the people that get sent to the Raft either don't make it there alive, or don't stay there for long. Isn't Zemo basically the only person we know that is trapped there now that we know of? A villain prison facility with only one villain seems a bit strange. [/SPOILER]On Sharon:[SPOILER]Yeah, it makes sense for her to be the Power Broker. It sucks for the characters that Karli didn't tell Sam about Sharon before dying, but that's bound to happen for narrative reasons. Sharon will almost definitely be the main villain of the next season, and I hope she shows a bit more of her villainous side in the next season, and hopefully a bit of flash-backs to show how she got there. [/SPOILER]</blockquote>
