And one of the better MCU supporting characters too.
Yeah, I mean ultimately did really like Andor, but man it is a bit painful for those first few episodes. There's letting a scene breathe, and then there's walking in the mud, and Andor really did walk fall over that line a few times in the early episodes. Ultimately it picked up quite a bit.
So my take, it is decidedly meh for me so far.
There is just something about "proving the Kree right about the Skrulls" that is really bothering me. Now I get it, realistically there are good and bad in every people. You take on a group of refugees, you are going to get some stellar people and some real rotten apples. Our "faith in human decency" is that the good ultimately wins out over the bad but its never a neat and tidy picture. But that's reality, in my fantasy I wouldn't mind the message a lot cleaner. But that is obviously a personal opinion, there is nothing flawed about that storyline, it certainly makes sense that as time goes on and the skrulls still don't have a home, that some would get angry, desperate, and even militant to acquire one.
Beyond that, the only plot point that I'm really interested in is more Fury when he gets back from the blip....because its the blip. I literally gobble up anything blip related because its such a crazy and intense notion. While we certainly have had groups of people with greater tragedies (jewish holocaust, native american devastation from small pox as a few good examples), this is a truly global devastation the likes of which we have never experienced. Everyone in the world got impacted. I honestly think that is way more interesting than whatever multi-verse plot of the week is going on. There are a million stories you could tell about that experience....I literally want an entire marvel series talking about it.
hehe they probably never will though
Though my god, can they think of a worse name than the blip? The greatest communal human tragedy in history....reduced to a meme name. I mean come on, there are so many better names. The "Phantom Holocaust", the "Reaping", the "Judgment", take your pick.

Yeah, for me the "haha, they really are the bad guys this time" thing isn't as bothersome as just the idea of a covert war against people who can literally be anyone. That premise builds in the viewer being unable to trust anything they see ever, which for me really hurts my investment in the show.
Tell me about it. The whole thing has a myriad of fascinating implications that we've only seen touched upon lightly so far. We saw some of the fallout early in Endgame after the FIVE YEARS LATER, with the floating shanty town around the Statue of Liberty, vehicles and properties still abandoned in the streets, people still unable to move on with their lives - and in Falcon and the Winter Soldier we get the displaced younger generation, and apparent collapses of national boundaries and identities that were summarily restored after the Unsnap.
But there's so much more to explore. How do you deal with billions of people who were legally - and literally - dead for five years suddenly coming back and wanting their old lives, livelihoods and possessions back? How do you assess, let alone deal with, the culture shock on both sides resulting from one population group having had to deal with five years of grief and misery and another having missed the last five years?
I tend to think that The Blip is what the returnees took to calling it. For them, it really was just that - a few seconds of dissolution and reconstitution, and then "What did I miss?" Nothing like what the people who had to live through those years would have experienced.hehe they probably never will though

Really? It was pretty obvious to me that they needed an Uncle Ben to motivate Fury to get his mojo back (and Coulson was already dead. Several times).
Also had to lay out it's GoT cards out for the audience: You know that character you liked? They're dead.
No point in killing off a character the audience doesn't care about.

If those truly were dirty bombs that went off, it may happen by the end of the series.
Or maybe the radiation interacts with the flerken wound and he will get super powers!
Samuel L. Jackson is on record as not wanting movies or shows using his image after he is dead. Now, hopefully that is a long ways off, but the guy is not getting any younger and they may be looking for a way to give Fury an MCU exit with a bang.
