Just watched Captain America Winter Soldier this past weekend. I’m confused about one thing: Why was the ship attacked by pirates? Was it random, or was Hydra behind it? And if Hydra was behind it…why? The information on the ship was SHIELD’s anyways.
I know Pierce said that to Captain America, but since he was the bad guy, I didn’t know if that information was accurate or not. Didn’t know Fury said it at any point.
They actually went over the Cottonmouth issue in an interview. Essentially Cottonmouth was just supposed to be an expendable baddie and wasn’t supposed to be that Good and they didn’t do a good enough job with Mariah and Shades.
You could argue this but I would argue that his arc in the show was brilliant and ending in his death the way it did was necessary not only for the show but for the character.
Mariah could not have been sold as a villain without killing him and while I liked Cottonmouth better they obviously needed to universe build yada yada, I think she’ll really shine in S2. Her development into a villain was admittedly interesting watching her operate while embracing it will be even better.
Diamondback I actually didn’t care for at all very one dimensional.
Don’t get me wrong, I do agree that he should’ve died by Mariah’s hands. It just shouldn’t have come midway through the season, especially since Mariah didn’t really buy in until the end of the season anyway and things were more about Diamondback instead.
Diamondback is easily the weakest villain. Show went dropped in quality when he became the lead villain. He was over the top in a setting that didn’t suit it and the execution of his plans were retarded. He’s a supervillain for a show that didn’t need one.
Maybe I’ve known enough old black ladies who play saints but do dirt with out even thinking its dirt but I didn’t think she was a joke and it wasn’t a tough sell for me.
