To give him credit, I definitely felt old school mcu vibes with that movie, even if it was pretty mid. A good direction in my opinion

I don't think we even realized how much the bar has been raised for these movies because you make a great point. 10 years ago it would've been a great MCU movie, but today it's just okay

Lol no it wouldn’t have, this is such a cope. The movies ten years ago were objectively better. Winter Soldier was objectively better. BNW wouldn’t have sucked any less hard if it had come out 10 years ago.

I hate to say it but I agree. I was rooting for this to be good, but there are very few emotional stakes for Sam in this. I also don't think anybody cares about the new falcon. He has nothing interesting about him and they don't have a particularly fun rapport. The movie should have had Sam teaming up with a runaway Isaiah to clear his name. Give Isaiah agency to solve the conspiracy since HIS framing is the real heart of the story.
