The Marvel TV shows have imo been much better than the films for a while now. Moon Knight, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, What If?... All great.
FatWS had a great premise, but kinda went nowhere with it. Of course Daniel Brühl makes everything better, but good actors can't make up for bad script.
Personally I really liked the story it told pretty much throughout. It's a while since I saw it, but I remember enjoying the more serious tone & challenges. It was nice seeing issues that the characters didn't just have to punch haha.
Problem is, in the end they made it so the solution was punches, by making the so-far-nuanced flag smashers suddenly evil
I wasn't really considering the flag smashers, honestly, they didn't leave much of an impact. I was thinking more about Sam & Bucky's separate personal struggles - Sam with becoming a black Captain America, and Bucky with making amends. To me the real interesting conflict was not the one with the flag smashers - that just forms a standard comic-book backdrop to the more interesting look at America itself.
I think the issue is that they clearly wrote themselves into a corner with the pseudo 5 year timeskip. They still want the world to feel like the present, but have to deal with the fact that literally nothing would look anything like the present if half the population disappeared for 5 years. It's hilarious when movies like Spiderman almost completely ignore those events.
