Summon the Suit is a strong second episode to the great opener that was The Goldfish Problem, and it delves deeper into the chaotic mind of Steven Grant.
This episode has basically everything, character study, great performances, good storytelling, and action.
I absolutely loved the conversation between Steven and Arthur about their beliefs and morals, something that I think was needed more in Infinity War. The villain's motivation is like the plot of The Winter Soldier and what Hydra wanted to do, but the conversation around it is much better.
And I really like this protagonist/villain dynamic we have here, and the villain has a fair share of screen time too. The "villain" of the story, Arthur, is of course really familiar with Marc's boss, and it gives another layer of depth to their relationship.
Summon the Suit also has another great reveal that I didn't expect to see this early and I'm really thankful that they don't waste time showing us what our protagonist can really do.
We have a really nice addition to the cast of characters that we have already seen in the promos, and she's a really good character and has a great dynamic with Steven.
I have to mention, that this is how to do a protagonist! This is how you write a great, flawed, and actually interesting character as a protagonist, something that Disney Star Wars has no idea how to, as we have seen with Rey and recently Boba Fett.
Our protagonist isn't exactly a righteous and flawless man who doesn't do the bidding of a questionable authority like Captain America, he's a man who has killed people - who might have deserved it - and will do it again because if he doesn't, he'll lose what he loves.
All in all, this show has been really great so far and fun to watch, and this episode does a great job of establishing our trouble-minded protagonist and the antagonist further and has great dialogue and good action.
And I like that Kevin Feige just gave the helms to this actual Egyptian director to depict his country's culture like what it is and not some American guy whose only knowledge of the Middle East is just putting a yellow filter on the screen.
Also, I gotta mention that I don't really like Arabic as a language, even though mine (Farsi) is really close to it but I kinda cannot stand it, but I gotta admit that end-credit Arabic rap was lowkey fire! The Armenian Genocide Really Happened and Taiwan Is a Country.
