    Probably the best episode of the 3 so far. Laurence Fishburne is always a delight and he seemed to be channelling the more upbeat and wholesome variant of Bill Foster from Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur (Fishburne as Earth-199999’s Beyonder when?). The thing with each season only having the budget to grab a handful of returning actors to do the voice work is that you see a lot of just a few characters throughout and the cameos feel either a lot less impactful or a lot more impactful.

    I had to turn on subtitles to consistently understand Alexei’s Bob Toledo’s lines. Bucky seemed too much like Bucky and not enough like the deeply brainwashed Winter Soldier during this. When did you realize that the Rook was Obadiah Stane? It clicked for me when he said “Howard Stark” the same way he said “Tony Stark built this in a cave… with a box of scraps!” in Iron Man 1.

      100% agree. Couldn’t get into the first episode. The second was absolutely beautiful, but really needed to be longer to flesh out the story. Episode 3 really felt much more cohesive to me.
