[@kawaiiafangirl]

One of the many things that I hate about this pandemic is that it robbed us from in-person shenanigan-like interactions between Mackie and Sebastian while they were promoting Falcon & The Winter Soldier.

[@fatengh5946]

I agree 😢 I so wish they were in the same room making fun of each other like before

[@asmallsandstorm4686]

Man can you imagine??... such a shame.

[@Gsibingo]

It’s sad they’re not together but there are still some good moments from some of the virtual interviews - especially the ones where they let the two of them talk to each other free of interviewer interruption.

[@ianlovesmickey9658]

Damn right. Its always entertaining seeing Mackie and Sebastian being interviewed together. They're hilarious.

[@meganpagel178]

Yeah- my gripe is that talk shows are back, and people are making movies. So it honestly shouldn't be hard to be able to get just the 2 of them in a room together and do interviews especially if they're tested, vaccinated etc.

[@blackgrlfly]

@@terrellthaddies7867 I just dont want jokes about his health. One of the things people universally hated about Thor's role in Endgame is not that he gained weight or had anxiety but that he was hurting and his team was making jokes about his weight constantly. Rocket slapped Thor when he was having a panic attack and it was played for laughs. Bucky doesn't deserve that. With Sam having previously worked at the VA I'd hope that they can handle this seriously. Sam's not just a joke guy.

[@ryleeprado4434]

@@blackgrlfly I definitely agree! I hate it when mental health is just used as a joke. As someone with anxiety and OCD who knows many people with depression, the take on Thor I could understand, but it was a little offensive

I agree the whole mcu and even the comics they deal with issue ptsd bullying racism etc and they put those elements into all of the 23 movies and to the next projects they are very grounded in all of 23 movies And the next projects that are going forward they all have different tones as well and genre but most importantly they are human flawed characters that we can relate to

Kevin wouldnt let that happen..because this show is not only entertainment..its also MCUs way of dealing with the struggles black americans face everyday..so it is much more significant
