So, I loved the first season! There were maybe 2 or 3 episodes that I didn't really enjoy, but the rest were fairly good! So when the second season came out, each episode was okay. It wasn't embracing the concept, and was really rushing it. Episode 4 with Iron Man was pretty good, but could've used more emotional moments.
This episode was AWESOME! The first act was meh, but towards the middle things got so good! It just got better and better! Now this is on the level of the Ultron and Murder Mystery episode for me!
I know there is probably a lot of opposition towards this opinion. It could be I'm just happy seeing a marvel episode that I'd like to rewatch, but everything was heightened in this one. The action was amazing to look at, animation was improved, the episode left parts for Peggy and Widow's relationship. I also felt the stakes.
But I'm still waiting for this season to embrace the dark side of the multiverse. Kill some characters off, take risks. That's what I loved about the first season. Everything was so crazy and unexpected, you didn't know who would survive (Zombies episode).
But I hope this show keeps this up!
