Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Captain America/Sam Wilson must suit up in a colossal mech suit to battle Bruce Banner after an attempt to cure himself of the Hulk goes horribly wrong. Bucky Barnes, Monica Rambeau, Moon Knight, and others must join Sam as his new team of Mech Avengers.
Our Take
The mech gimmick is fun for about ten minutes, then the episode settles into a predictable monster-fight formula with some surprisingly flat action beats. Sam Wilson makes it watchable, and the team banter lands occasionally, but the emotional stakes with Banner feel rushed. A decent popcorn opener that never justifies why it needed giant robots. Fine background viewing, nothing more.
