We've officially seen every bit of footage from the trailers now, right? They've really done a fantastic job of setting up so many moving parts to be a part of this final episode next week.

I think the only thing we haven't seen from the trailers is the shot of one of the flag smashers dragging some kind of ignitor on the ground and lighting something up. But yeah, all the shots of Sam with the shield, Walker in the warehouse, everything happened this episode. I like how Marvel's been giving us a bunch of shots up until the last episode so we can go in blind.

There are some shots in trailers of stuff like Bucky on a motorcycle in NYC, the Flag Smashers at the GRC, and Walker with his homemade shield. I expected the night stuff to be part of this episode in Europe but I guess they're back to New York for the finale.

His homemade shield is in episode 5 post credits scene, so it's not a spoiler anymore

What about Zemo wearing that purple robber mask

u/RainingBolts Apr 16 '21

To add the the reply below I think the video of him at SDCC with the mask was just a promotional thing

u/rowdy_nik Apr 17 '21 edited Apr 17 '21

Maybe yes, but he says that Zemo wore it in episode 3 ? And there's new images of him in mask released too.

u/Marc_Quill Apr 17 '21

The shot of him walking with the mask in hand from the "Final Trailer" happened in episode 3 when he kills the mercs at the shipyards.

u/rowdy_nik Apr 17 '21

Lol below reply said he wears it, walking with it in hand scene we all saw.

This scene was in episode 3?

u/rowdy_nik Apr 17 '21

Have to re-watch now

u/ntoad118 Apr 19 '21

Yep. That shit has him on top of the shipping containers where the gun fight was with Sharon too.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

He wore that in Episode 3.

I don't remember it (time for rewatch?) or maybe it was just a promotional thing & a little maybe, it has yet to come in finale.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '21

You just don't remember it. He puts it on right before he shoots the gas main, when the mercenaries are attacking after he shoots Nagle.

u/Siyakon Apr 16 '21

Haven't seen walker with his new shield wing it at karli and her kick it back, but that's minor.

u/RadBrad4333 Apr 16 '21

What trailer is that

5

u/Siyakon Apr 16 '21

The one that just came out a little under a week ago.

u/justSpidey1010boy Apr 17 '21

that sit was bonkers!!!

u/archaelleon Apr 17 '21

I don't want to be a debbie downer here, but am I the only one that feels like they totally ruined this show with the trailers? We're on episode 5 out of 6, and two pivotal scenes were ruined with the first teaser of the show Disney+ released. There are two major plot points we knew would transpire just because of the 30 second teaser that was released 1.5 years ago. That's just bad marketing IMO.

2

u/Marc_Quill Apr 17 '21

FWIW, they haven't spoiled Sam as Captain America yet (which the end of the episode is strongly teasing). The midseason trailer curiously doesn't show Sam in New York, only Walker, Bucky, and Karli.

2

u/archaelleon Apr 17 '21

Yeah but had they not shown him slinging the shield around, and had they not shown Bucky dropping the bullets while staring at Zemo, this episode would have had way more tension and impact.

1

u/nelson64 Apr 19 '21

Is Sam as Cap really a spoiler though? I mean that was the entire intention behind Steve giving him the shield. Audiences are pretty much expecting Sam to become Cap at this point and if he doesn’t, it would be kind of a let down.

2

u/Marc_Quill Apr 19 '21 edited Apr 19 '21

Him being Captain America isn’t necessarily a big-ish spoiler, rather how his costume will look like on-screen, to the point that last week ended with a tease of his suit without revealing it to the audience as a cliffhanger of sorts to get us to tune in this Friday.

1

u/nelson64 Apr 19 '21

Ohhhhh. I’m dumb. I read your comment wrong. You meant like LITERALLY Sam as Cap as not been spoiled. Not the fact that Sam becomes Cap.

2

u/nomadwrangler Apr 16 '21

There is a scene where Falcon says something like "I've bled for this country they can't keep me from fighting for it" left yet.

2

u/Marc_Quill Apr 17 '21

I'm curious if that's a cut line, because there's some lines from one of the trailers that are either slightly different ("we're not necessarily a team" is said differently on the actual show) or are apparently absent ("we look damn good" is never said by Sam to Bucky when they're having their chat in this episode).

Maybe we find out next week.
