The Winter Soldier is my favourite Marvel movie, and definitely up there as my favourite comic book and just movie of all time.

I felt like Sebastian Stan was a great actor in the first Captain America, really hit his stride in Winter Soldier, was incredible again in Civil War, then took a back seat for the two Avengers installments (understandably, trying to juggle all of those pieces). While I understood why, I was still disappointed. He went from a guy who can take on multiple Avengers members at once, to fighting cap 1v1, to just standing there shooting at things.

It was very nice and enjoyable to see him take the spot light again in this series. I always thought of him as a great actor, but we saw some incredible depth in certain scenes, particularly when he is over coming his 'programming' in the flash back.

I think they did just an incredible job with his arc, and brought some really good closure in a satisfactory, but realistic (comic book realistic) way.

I really look forward to seeing more from him in the MCU, and I would not be opposed to him picking up the mantle of Master Skywalker. I believe he really is worthy as a humble yet extremely talented actor.

I thought the finale was great, it served its purpose.. I liked seeing Walker come back out, literally give his head a shake and show some common sense trying to save those people. I also find it interesting how he is being manipulated, and am excited to see where that goes. You have to feel for the guy, he literally is just doing what he thinks is right. What he was trained to do.

I would rank it in terms of episodes:

4
5
6
1
3
2

I might be mixing up 2 and 3, whatever one where they break out Zemo is the worst by far. Like a different tier of quality. But 4 saved this series, and they were able to carry that momentum forward just well enough to make the series overall feel good.
