    Yeah, you gotta feel kinda bad for Anthony Mackie. Poor guy really getting shafted because the writers can’t do anything decent with the MCU properties anymore.

        I mean, sure, he’s getting real paid, but being stuck in the contract means he can’t choose to be in better films that might get him more well known as a serious, good actor.

        Instead, he may just languish in relative obscurity because while he’s been in great stuff prior to the MCU, the MCU has taken a lot of his time away from more quality projects.

        He’s a good actor, and on some level I’m sure he’d appreciate being known for his talents and not known for being a forgettable MCU star because the writing was so bad, no matter how much money he makes.

        But who knows maybe he’s happy with the money and doesn’t give a shit if people think he’s good at his job or not.

          He’s been doing some interesting low budget stuff on the side. Synchronic, Io, a bunch of others I haven’t seen.

            Holy moly, somehow this one slipped under my radar. I’m gonna check it out later, thanks!

                …also Will Arnett and Thomas Haden Church. What I’ve watched was pretty fun so far. Honestly surprising for how bad the story was in the original Twisted Metal.

        Tbf, The Falcon series was pretty good and touched on some subject material that’s otherwise almost completely absent in mass media.

      That’s how I felt seeing him in altered carbon s2. I know he got a lot of hate for being in season 2 but I don’t think he was necessarily the problem in it.

        Totally agree with this. The second season wasn’t great as a whole (though I still enjoyed it and don’t think it deserved all the hate), but I still thought Mackie was excellent in it. He’s a really versatile and talented actor.

      I actually watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, just didn’t realize a movie was out.

      IDK if people just watched Endgame and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, they wouldn’t be surprised that Sam is Captain America

      He doesn’t look like your regular leading actor. To me he can’t be the protagonist of his own films. That, and the poor script of what’s wrong with BNW

        you can just say he’s the wrong color, it’s racist but we’re hearing what you’re putting out regardless.

                pffft… wish I looked half as good.

                but I’m half goblin so you know that applies in a lot of different categories.

          It can but doesn’t have to be that.
