![]() Probably still worth watching if you're an MCU fan but otherwise not a must-see. A no-holds-barred approach to the buddy cop formula makes for some inauthentic dialogue in episode two of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, but thankfully that’s the only egregious. I am a big fan of the fact that they didn't sidestep the discussion of a black Captain America but I'm not sure if this is enough of a difference to really warrant it being given a higher score - other shows like Luke Cage or Black Lightning have also dicussed black superhero issues so this show is not like a fresh, fresh perspective. I think that, ultimately, it gets a six as it is very par for the course for Marvel on an overall level. This is a really good thing as I personally feel that the Netflix shows had some of the best action in any Marvel-related properties. The fights in this reminded me of a slightly more PG version of the Netflix Marvel shows (Daredevil etc.). ![]() I was quite critical of how the action in WandaVision (the previous MCU show I watched) felt lacklustre especially in the final episode. ![]() Outside of this, I am huge fan of the action in this. It felt like it was torn between being your standard superhero show whilst also attempting to explore America's relationship with race and I felt it would occasionally struggle with these two conflicting aims. However, I still felt that occasionally it slipped into paying lip-service rather than really discussing issues. It's a tricky predicament as I feel the subject matter it addressed (A black Captain America) is kinda surprising given anything about race can be such a polarising subject (I mean without even looking I can tell that half the negative reviews are gonna be from whiny manbabies who think that anything even vaguely discussing racism is pandering to libs - idc if this is a strawman btw sue me) and I normally associate Disney with playing it as safe as possible. ![]() However, I think it could be accused of being the same old Marvel despite this. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 2021 1-6 (). First and foremost, it is well-executed and with a bizarrely relevant storyline considering the covid-related events of the last year (I think it even invoked phrases like the 'The New Normal' in this show). The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 2021 1-6 () The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 2021. I feel like I'm very much in two minds with regards to this show. ![]()
