    Yeah, that, but I'm specifically talking about (trying to
    avoid spoilers for anyone like me that doesn't want details
    before they see it) -

    the statue...

    It was probably engineered into the story to cater to that
    demographic to emphasize equality as humans.

    Could have been, but if so I think they 'pulled it off' quite
    well! I didn't get a 'better than vibe,' like when earlier
    in the series someone called him the "Black Falcon" and he
    just Falcon. Something to the effect of "you're not 'black
    kid,' are you?"

    Not long ago, there was a Tv series called Heroes..

    I LOVED loved LOVED the first season!!! Was one long story
    and was really engaging! Then S2 seemed like a "well that
    worked, let's try again" and then S3 jumped the shark 'for
    me' - YMMV.

    I think I forgot about S3. :( S2 wasn't as engaging as S1.
    MCU fans should check out Heroes for a "realistic" twist on
    humans with unusual powers.

    I went back and watched Season One again and stopped. :-)

    I might do that too. At the time, I could only watch them on
    broadcast tv and wait a week for the next episode; by then, the
    emmersive feel of being vested in a story was gone.

    I don't mind the wait! I think it helps build anticipation and
    speculation. :-)

    My wife is the opposite - she won't watch something with me until
    she can binge it all. LOL

    Did you ever watch Dollhouse?!?!? That and Jericho! WOW!!!

    Briefly. Sounds like Westworld, but using humans as the
    programmable hosts.

    I guess, in a way, but like Westworld there was a story beneath
    the story going on...

    I missed that... But it could also be a secret that he's
    alive, and the 'world' thinks he is dead...

    Anything is possible in the MCU. :/ Now that they have time-
    machine technology, they can flip flop any storyline they want.

    Someone mentioned that there was a reference to Capt. America
    hanging out on the moon.

    I mentioned that. LOL

    I tackled the Endgame film in about 3 sessions. I simply
    got tired of the time-travel trickery..

    Did you watch Infinity War first? Or just went straight
    into Endgame?

    I went straight to Endgame. I don't recall ever seeing Infinity
    War. I guess that one explains Thanos' rampage.

    Well it was a build up over several movies, but Infinity War, to
    me, is part of the story. It and Engame could ALMOST be two parts
    of the same movie.

    I thought the funniest part was when they were explaining how
    time-travel works by mentioning how it was used in other actual
    films. :D

    Yeah. :-)

    I'm not sure where Thanos comes from, but that dude had
    issues.

    I don't remember it being explained in the movies, but it's
    obvious he's a powerful being from 'out there.'

    Sounds like I will spin-up Infinity War at some point, soon.

    Well it won't be as exciting, now that you know how it ends, LOL, but
    still a great show!
