For their second official television offering, Disney+ and Marvel gave fans a more traditional MCU story with
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, especially compared to the magically bonkers hijinks of
WandaVision. With a sobering look at post-Blip life for Anthony Mackie s Sam Wilson and Sebastian Stan s Bucky Barnes, the six-episode drama also took on a political edge with Erin Kellyman s Karli Morgenthau and the Flag Smashers. By and large, the series delivered plenty of enjoyable and memorable moments, but when it came time to nail the landing with its reveal-oozing finale,
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier flew far too close to the sun.
