They should create new characters, like the Autumn Soldier and Spring Soldier.

Yeah, and there are supposed to be a few other characters and cameos as well. I saw War Machine in some of the other footage, and we know Sharon Carter is going to play a role too.
On a side note, that look on Bucky's face when Sam makes the hat comment is priceless.

Decent start IMO. It was a bit slow in parts, but I understand why. They wanted to give us a firm idea of where both characters are at in their lives after Endgame before jumping into the main story.

Opening scene was great. Batroc in a wingsuit is exactly the right way to kick things off, lol
Everything else felt like set-up so we’ll just have to see where it goes. The test for me will be whether the show can get both main characters out of Cap’s shadow enough to make this more than the sidekick series.
New episode was f*cking amazing. We get to see [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Isaiah Bradley the black man who replaced Steve after he got frozen. He was the only survivor of horrible Super Soldier experiments done on black men, and after serving his country was hidden away and imprisoned because they couldn't handle publicly proclaiming a Black Cap. And as Captain America he was strong enough to rip Bucky's arm in half. Even in his old age, he still has incredible strength and would probably wipe the floor with anyone like M'Baku level and down. We also get confirmation that Power Broker can give people at least Super Soldier(Bucky, Steve, T'Challa) level powers and that probably means Walker's gonna get a few doses to get to US Agent levels.
We also see just how much race plays into the world even today.

Walker might [SPOILER - highlight to read]: not need multiple doses. They've made it clear he's already pretty much the pinnacle of what an unenhanced human can be, so I imagine that with the Super Soldier Serum he'd probably end up above any of the Super Soldiers that have come before him, having a stronger base to work from.
I just hope Bucky's going to [SPOILER - highlight to read]: stop basically being useless at some point. So far, all he's basically done is mope, gotten his ass kicked, been shown up tactically, been outperformed during the truck fight by a physically inferior noob to the superhero game (Walker, who did better in that fight than Bucky did), needed rescuing by Sam and has gotten arrested. Even his cooler feats have been undermined, like jumping from the plane where it was played for laughs or outpacing the trucks by immediately getting whooped by Karli. At this point Sam would probably be better off actually teaming up with Walker.

I think you're all missing the point of his broken psychology at this point. Its only been a brief point since he came back from the Blip, and there's also the fact he was used as a ****ing HYDRA agent multiple times. He even says in the first episode that's he only had a brief time to breathe and find himself. He's not operating 100% and Sam being a little ***** and rejecting the shield probably does create a rift between them. And yeah he got caught off guard twice, I wouldnt've written the fight that way but it is what it is. Personally, I would've given the shield to Bucky as he's the closest to Cap in physicals and skill. Sam's storyline is completely uninteresting to me

No, I get that he's damaged and working through stuff. But that doesn't change the fact that we're 1/3 of the way through the show and he has yet to make any meaningful positive contribution. And some stuff is just stupid. Like [SPOILER - highlight to read]: him wanting to just rush into the fight with the Flagsmashers because "I have a vibranium arm", without doing any proper recon. Even in CA:CW, when he was arguably even worse mentally, he still had the foresight to prep and have an escape plan in place if his apartment got found and raided. He's supposed to be a war veteran and elite assassin, yet he acted like an amateur in the scene from the last episode.

episode was okay, but the whole "white man oppressing the black man" plotline just isnt needed IMO. less of that, and more of bucky actually becoming a decent character again. please.
