The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a very solid miniseries that gives us MCU's new generation to Captain America. Sure, the movie may not have the best pacing even for streaming and the writing isn't as strong as most of the movies. But it does a very good job for having an enjoyable plot, solid characters, great visuals, exciting action, and a very strong social commentary on the last episode against discrimination and how the world can be corrupted, even to this day. I get that there may be those that prefer watching the MCU movies than the shows since they do have other things, which I understand the sentiment. But I think this is the series that's worth checking out if you want to watch something on Disney Plus that's action packed and legitimately mature. It may not be the best thing to come out of MCU, but I consider this as one of the better MCU shows to find.

So true. So true. I am very glad i've learned that if it's a series, writers can take time and really develope a deeper story, with more complex character development. They do not have to put it "in simple terms" so you can easily and quickly see everything all at once.

That doesn't work for some viewers. They don't have the time, they do not want to put in the effort. I do!

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was a slow churning locomotive spinning on the tracks as it started to move. Then it picked up speed.

It turned into a freakin' runaway train heading for the bridge where the dynamite just blew the f'n tracks to smithereens!!

No, it's not a "simple" story. No it's not a oversimplified plot for childlike minds. It ain't " black and white", good vs evil. This thing has some gray matter to chew on.

Yum yum.

When's the next season? I'm hungry, ready to chow down!

Marvel has spoiled us fans in the past. But this series is just not as good. Its not because of politics or of political correctness or of racial mentions; its because of the PLOT.

Which kinda sucks. Inconsistent and at many times just pointless, the plot seems uninspired and forced, in order to make this series' story move forward.

Here's a few: What exactly was Carly's main motivation? What makes the GRC so bad for Carly? Why don't they work more on the idea of the shield as a mantle? That could have been a great opportunity here.

Why get into the power broker story arc in the first place and not further develop it?

And why spend so much time in the political issues? Is that because the script is just non-existant? Maybe... The dialogue at times is also incredibly stupid...which makes me wonder about the way marvel/disney approach their audience nowadays.

Wandavision was not perfect but it was smart and well made with good dialogue and world building. But this one is more closer to a messy, character-lacking and backstory-missing series.

Now why 6,5? 1-The action sequences are good and the start is impressive. Also there is a few more action sequences further on which are worth it. 2-Stan and Mackie are good action actors and look alright on screen, so its fun watching them and their chemistry is ok. 3-because i m a fan like most people here and i still like watching these stories and I appreciate the effort needed to get these done.

I would just like this one to be better... 6,5/10 for the action.

So this guy is one of the heroes who saved not just the world but the entire universe...but he doesn't get paid enough to get a bank loan. I know superhero movies are unrealistic but this is just taking the piss and mocking the struggles that real people have.

Not bad not bad. I feel the team on this rushed with putting this out or did not place a lot of priority on it because they just needed to give us a story or a reason to accept a colored man succeeding a white man and that is fine. I liked how they were able to make it make sense, how they brought in a lot to try to convince people and just accept that the old avengers are gone and we just have to accept that these new heroes are not as bad and are actually a good replacement. The inclusion of Bucky's redemption journey was also key and that was a good inclusion by the team. The only reason I felt it was rushed or given less of a priority was due to the less attention given to masking or hiding the stunt men we could actually see the stunt men without trying. Having to wear masks during action was smart but impossible to not notice. Falcon's stunt man? My oh my visible and easy to notice during his session at the lake house training with the shield. They could have done better and I love the fact they kept it PG it's difficult to come by movies which have respect these days and I am happy marvel try to stay that way. No sex scenes and even in Madripor they were able to give the audience the scene of a club without it being an actual club which is filled with sexual and alcoholic scenes like other movies showcase. Nice movie but could have been better. But I enjoyed it.
