Loved this from my first watch. The only thing I didn’t like about it was how much I identified with Mace, who is an absolute prick about everything. Then I got diagnosed with ASD in 2018 and now it alllll makes sense 😂
While Mace IS a prick, he’s also not wrong 90% of the time and people hate that combination, especially when it’s not coming from a place of ego or self-promotion. As Mark Twain (probably) said: “Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.”
I think Chris Evans plays it brilliantly. I think he once complained about being “typecast” as Cap… but really, I think he’s in more danger of being typecast as a prick.
On this watch through: I don’t get why Mark Strong is cast as a South African in such a minor role. Just cast Strong and make him British, or cast a SA 🤷♀️ And why can’t we have a better look at what Pinbacker’s done to himself? Less is not more.
