Summary</a>: The
|
||
|
|
Falcon and the Winter Soldier[a] is an American television miniseries created by
|
||
|
|
Malcolm Spellman for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics
|
||
|
|
featuring the characters Sam Wilson / Falcon and Bucky Barnes / Winter
|
||
|
|
Soldier. It is the second television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
|
||
|
|
(MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the
|
||
|
|
franchise and taking place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame
|
||
|
|
(2019). Spellman served as head writer with Kari Skogland directing.</p>
|

<span id="continue-reading"></span>
|
||
|
|
<p>After <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame">Avengers: Endgame</a>,
|
||
|
|
there was the expectation that we would see Falcon wielding Captain America's
|
||
|
|
shield, maybe in a future movie. But they did a series instead.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And instead of picking the shield, the first thing Falcon does is give it
|
||
|
|
away. And the constant complaining of Winter Soldier about it. And a dickhead
|
||
|
|
that wield the shield -- just for the money, I guess.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ok, sorry, lots of spoilers there, but...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, Falcon gives the shield away, but he gives a compelling reason: He worked
|
||
|
|
alongside Captain and knows what he does and what he represents and just don't
|
||
|
|
want to step into his friend shoes, out of respect. It's not that he doesn't see
|
||
|
|
Captain as a symbol, but he sees Steve instead. So you get what he means.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And yeah, Winter Soldier keeps complaining about Falcon giving the shield away,
|
||
|
|
but he's actually worried that, as Steve basically ruined his Captain America
|
||
|
|
image to save him, if giving the shield to Falcon was an error, then saving him
|
||
|
|
was also an error. But, instead of focusing on helping Falcon to actually assume
|
||
|
|
the shield and take the mantle of Captain America, he just spends the time
|
||
|
|
complaining about it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And sure, the government decide to make another Captain America and take some
|
||
|
|
guy and... heck, didn't they do any psychological check if the person won't
|
||
|
|
break under pressure -- or wasn't a dick beforehand?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And I didn't mention, but there was a black man that was also a super soldier
|
||
|
|
and, for some reason, was never mentioned?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But the whole series is not just about this.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Falcon's fear is, underneath it, the fear of what people would think of a black
|
||
|
|
man being America's symbol. And the fact that the black super soldier refuses to
|
||
|
|
help due the way he was treated (and hidden from everyone) represents the way
|
||
|
|
black soldiers were treated after returning from World War II. And all that is
|
||
|
|
hidden in the guise of an adventure and a symbol till, suddenly, in the last
|
||
|
|
episode, the drop the gloves and all full direct, with Falcon saying things like
|
||
|
|
"Yeah, I'm here, with the shield, and being Captain America and people will
|
||
|
|
still rant 'cause I'm black".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The problem is reaching that point. Things move slowly 'cause hey, you need to
|
||
|
|
make 8 episodes for a thing that could be directly said in 2. And you can't have
|
||
|
|
a series based on action heroes without the action.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It doesn't mean the series is bad, it carries a powerful message for these days,
|
||
|
|
it just have too much filler.</p>
