Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 1 Recap: Prolonging Captain America’s Legacy

Proceed from here, Vandavision. You did Has been For two weeks, and there’s a new one Marvel Cinematic Universe Show in town. This The first episode Of Falcon and Winter Soldier Left on Disney Plus On Friday, the two of us got on a spying adventure together Captain America’s allies.

The last time we saw Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie), the Air Force veterinarian wearing a wingsuit was chosen for it. The next Captain America And an iconic shield by the elderly Steve Rogers. Still, he doesn’t seem too sure about lifting the mantle.

On the other side of the show’s title, we have Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), aka Winter Soldier. Originally a Steve Sidekick during World War II, he spent decades as a brain-warmed killer for the sneaky terrorist group Hydra. It has been since Has been degraded And reunited with the heroes, but his past sins are not easy to overcome.

This happens following the show Avengers: Endgame, When billions of invisible people have returned after five years of absence and the world suddenly feels very crowded. Let’s jump over the border Spoiler Region.

Your new Captain America

Sam said he made the “right decision” to donate the Cape’s Shield to the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., after the same government official introduced the new Captain America to the world. He is clearly kicking in the teeth for Sam, who gave the nod, as he argued that no one should step into Steve’s role.

There is also something deeply important about giving a white man a ieldal after the black man chosen for the role gave it to him.

The new Captain of the Government is John Waker Russell. Inside 1980s comedy, Was chosen for the comedy role of Walker after Steve left office due to political interference. Sam was considered for the role there as well, but politicians argued that people are not ready for Black Captain America – it is possible they are thinking the same way at MCU.

In the Wal-Mart mix, Waker has been both an opponent and an ally, instead going by names like the intense super-patriot and the more just-voiced US agent. It’s about serving Uncle Sam, though, he’s always a puppet of morally questionable politicians.

I wish they would have made Ralph Boehner a new cap, just to mess with us.

Late Steve Rogers?

When Sam donates, he refers to Steve as “gone.” It is unclear whether Steve is dead or alive at this stage – he would have been more than 100 years old when he reappeared at the end of the endgame. It is possible that the Super Soldier formula has given him a longer life than usual, so he may still be in good physical condition.

Sam’s new ally, Joaquin Torres, mentions conspiracy theories about Steve being on a secret base on the moon. Maybe it’s next to Atylan, the devastating inhuman city he showed, we all want to forget ?! Please no

It is possible that Marvel Studios has not decided that Steve is still coming back, so he is alive and dead.

Sreedinger’s cap, if you will.

Mirroring Steve

The inaugural action sequence in the skies of Tunisia, 2014. Captain Captain America: From the beginning of the Winter Soldier, getting off the plane feels like the presence of George Butrock (George St. Pierre). It is clearly designed to tell us that Sam deserves to take Steve’s place despite his misconduct.

Batrock, the greasy Charlie, survives to fight the next day as he jumps from a helicopter before being blown up by a missile. Indeed the changing ego of his comic book counterpart – Butrock the Lapper – was living up to that move.

No more boundaries

We only get a little bit about the show’s villain group, Flag-Smashers, in this episode. They are an anarchist group that preferred a world without borders, like during a blip – they can see where they are coming from. Compassion about violence.

They gather followers online, and the vendetta-style “everyone wears a mask” to pull the hist is invested in insurance for the wrong direction stunt. And at least one of them has supernatural power and reflection.

In C com mix, Flag-smasher is a personal identity rather than a group. Few people have played this role, but their common goal was to spread anti-nationalist sentiment through acts of terrorism. The native, Carl Morjintau, took a special umbrella with Captain America, seeing him as a symbol of American ideals.

Winter Kills

Bucky was seen doing “improvements” for his black works as a Winter Soldier, including taking down a corrupt senator planted by Hydra. (I got to see the whole series about her working for Hydra for decades.)

He tells his doctor he had “a little quiet in Wakanda” – he was reprogrammed right there. Captain America: Civil War And Avengers: Infinite War. He was nicknamed the “White Wolf” there, which is just as good as the “Winter Soldier”.

However, in the biggest emotional gut of the episode, it turns out that he befriended the father of one of his victims. He has a super fun time to spend and he also gives Bucky a beautiful date, but he is wrapped up in guilt to enjoy it.

It seemed like that date was going pretty well! I guess anyone has a date of three or four before he can tell you about his past as a brainwashed soldier.

Observations and WTF questions

• Initially the audio dio is that the exchange is the final exchange between Cap and Sam contained in Avengers: Endgame.
• According to Sam, we’re “a few months” after the end-game – he’s already confirmed that it happens six months after those events. That This puts the show In between Vandavision And Spider-Man: Away from home.
• There’s not much to do here except push Sam to take care of Rhode Day (Don Chadle). He will take part in the next Disney Plus show Armor Wars.
• In a com mix, Joachim becomes Torres New Falcon While Sam is Captain America.
• Why would you sit next to a corpse? I realize that the dead pilot indicates to the audience that the plane has been captured by Badies, but the Louis pilot must get out the right way.
• Ordinary wingsuits are nice, but compared to Sam’s wonderful wings, the people of Badiz seem a little sad in this episode.
• The scene at the bank is quite depressing, especially since the loan officer is very professional. It’s also a little weird that the bank’s policies don’t take into account what people don’t consider.
• Sam refers to the “government contract”, but why doesn’t he mention all this money from Microsoft Microsoft ?!
• It turns out that Captain America’s initial mission: Winter Soldier, was arranged by Nick Fury to uncover information about Hydra’s destructive plans. Since he is in space he is unlikely to be involved in this, but could Sam’s Tunisian operation operation be anything more than an eye-opener?
