Agree that Fury was weaker, although I mean that in a characterization and presence, less in terms of ability. I think Fury just wasn't used well in terms of story telling.
Honestly not feeling the love for Sam. I really, really wanted to like him, but just went away with a baseline of "eh, he's not bad, I guess".
Straight up disagree on the villain. Did not feel Pierce was a believable villain. Mostly because the "kill a small portion of humanity to save the majority" is kind of an overdone trope and very...Bond-villain-esque. Trying to justify what is an obviously morally wrong stance with a twisted version of justice has been done too many times and this rendition didn't bring up any new arguments. (Albeit agree that it's still miles above "mwahahah take over the world" or "behold my supersoldier army", so...better than Thor and Iron Man villains this round.)

Cannot be coherent about Bucky. Just...can't...
