I can’t put a finger on the missing piece… the cast are doing their best. The paranoia concept is great but it’s never “shown”. The time with Hill and the opening sequence were the only memorable times where the identity change had an impact.

I understand the undercurrent fear but it feels like there’s no set up, just telling the changes. For example, everyone says Fury has changed but we never see the decline? Maybe the change is that he’s becoming a tired, old, cranky man? I wanted to see Fury planning and shrewd and espionagey.

I’ve kept up with almost all MCU (for my sins) so maybe it’s an “unexplored character” thing. Going to keep watching for hope of payoff of these relatively boring setups.
