Nine seasons in, the fight finally arrives: Cap and Bucky, under a helicarrier, no exits. Kyle's read is that only one of them is actually in this fight — the Winter Soldier is throwing kill shots, while Cap is running an errand. So what were Bucky's orders? He's holding the chip in a hand that has demonstrably torn a man's wings off, and he never closes his fist.Pete's heresy for the week is that this is the least satisfying big fight in the movie for dumb architectural reasons. The dome set (production actually nicknamed it the "salad bowl") is the one room in a proudly grounded thriller that looks like an Ed Wood soundstage with a real budget. Kyle traces a direct line from here to Black Widow's blimp and Black Panther's train — Marvel's third-act habit of taking the movie out of the actors' hands and giving it to a render farm.Elsewhere: name-tag immolation and whether Marvel's own math on those badges holds up, a Charlie Bridge one pointy hat away from Star Wars, a 1996 UPN detour with an absurd guest list, and a scream in the last two seconds that Pete cannot unhear.Links & NotesThe film
