![]() ![]() Hearing about how Isaiah's government-endorsed heroism was rewarded with his imprisonment and inhumane Tuskegee-like experimentations was truly heartbreaking. ![]() Like Christian, I thought the Isaiah Bradley scene was the highlight of the episode. I can't wait for the Young Avengers to form! If the upcoming Loki show ends with Loki getting de-aged to being a kid or teenager I will lose my mind. America Chavez may not have been a founding member of the Young Avengers, but she's certainly an integral one, and she'll be arriving soon in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. There's Cassie Lang, who exists in the Ant-Man movies. There's Billy Kaplan, who we just met in WandaVision (and who we know is still out there somewhere). Who else are founding members of the Young Avengers, you ask? Well, there's Kate Bishop, who will be played by Hailee Steinfeld in the upcoming Hawkeye show. In Marvel comics, Eli Bradley is Patriot, a founding member of the Young Avengers. But that young man standing next to Isaiah and letting his guests in and out of the house is obviously his grandson, Eli Bradley. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier clearly isn't as much of a puzzle box as WandaVision was, so I won't be plying you all with nearly as many insane theories. ![]() The way the Flag-Smasher see it, the GPC "cares more about the people who came back than the people who never left."

You may recognize that actress as Erin Kellyman, who played Enfys Nest in Solo: A Star Wars Story, another character who seemed villainous until her sympathetic perspective as a forerunner of the Rebel Alliance was revealed. But what thankfully stops this dynamic from being too close to real-life political dynamics is that the Flag-Smashers' main target is a thing that doesn't exist in our world: The Global Repatriation Council, which apparently came into being after the events of Avengers: Endgame to help restore international society to normal after the Blip. With their masks, their dedication to "revolutionary violence," and their opposition to traditional power structures, the Flag-Smashers come off like the "antifa super-soldiers" of deranged conspiracy theories. ![]()
