Have you watched the first two Marvel shows which have appeared on the Disney Plus streaming service?
WandaVision and
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were both released one episode per week but as of last Friday both runs are now complete. I wanted to talk about some things that bothered me about each show. Of course there will be spoilers for both shows so stop here if you don’t want to know.
First off,
Falcon brought back two characters from the Captain America films (and the Avengers films) in a six episode story about teaming up to battle a young, female revolutionary named Karli. Karli is leading a group called the Flag Smashers and here you’ll have to put up with a description of what that’s about or the rest of this won’t make any sense.
The New Captain America Will Be Fighting for Something Different
At the end of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,’ Sam Wilson finally claimed the shield that Steve Rogers left for him. But that doesn’t mean that he’ll forget the inner conflict he faced before deciding to take up the mantle.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the former U.S. Air Force pararescueman is going for a morning run around the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Before long, Sam’s peaceful jog is disrupted by another runner: Steve Rogers speeds past Sam, and then proceeds to lap him over and over again. The scene is a display of Steve’s absurd super-soldier athleticism, with Sam’s human limitations providing a reference point to prop him up. But it also marks the start of an important partnership, as the two would soon go on to fight beside each other against a corrupt government, super friends, and final

The finale picks up immediately where Episode 5 ends, with Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) and the Flag Smashers infiltrating the headquarters of the Global Repatriation Council in an attempt to stop a vote that secure borders once again in a post-Blip world. It’s here at GRC HQ that Bucky Barnes (Stan) sneaks past a security checkpoint in order to scope the scene out.He’s quickly stopped by a nameless bystander. In a matter of seconds, the bystander rips their face off and we find out it’s really Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) in disguise, using the same exact face-cloaking technology Black Widow (Johansson) herself used during the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

After Thanos’ now-famous snap became the most defining moment of the franchise, Marvel, in this ‘post-Blip’ world is now once again in the process of creating new stories that are rooted in emotion and sentiment.
After the fantastic WandaVision, we now have The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that works better as a ‘larger than life’ story than it does as something relatable.
In a moving moment at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers hands over the mantle of Captain America to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) by giving away his shield. When Wilson tries it on for the first time, Rogers asks him how it feels, and he replies, “Like it’s someone else’s.”
