So… at the start of this episode I was like “oh god, please don’t make this a flashback episode”. And then the flashbacks kept going for over 20 minutes. Once again the Marvel writers wrote themselves into a corner by deciding “we need to show this, but it doesn’t fit anywhere so we’ll cram it into the last episode”. Works better than in other shows but still not ideal. The whole episode basically feels like a tag to the finale that was episode 8.

I hear what you’re saying. I almost wonder if the MCU needs more “one shots” or “Tales of the Jedi/Sith” to just throw fun little moments into canon.
(Although really just throwing them on the end of a show is fine.)
