The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

I did watch The Falcon and the Winter Soldier some time ago, but it looks like I didn't post anything here.  It was good.  The series is set six months after Sam Wilson became Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame.  Pretty good character development, plot and we get to see some familiar characters from the Marvel universe.  Sam and Bucky team up.  Fight a global threat.  All the while we see the government's involvement in overseeing heroes and Captain America, specifically.  I'm a huge Falcon fan and while I liked this series, I don't think it wowed folks and I get that.  Baron Zemo, played by Daniel Bruhl, really stood out to me.  I like that character.  I think it's a good watch.  There are six episodes.  I do think the pacing may not be what some would hope for, but it is a good story with good characters.

  1. I saw it back when it was released. I'm pretty sure I liked it, but honestly couldn't say much about it. I'm sure I'll go back and rewatch it.

    1. Not sure it's something I'll ever go back and rewatch, but I'm glad I watched it.

  2. Thought it could have been much better. Then when Brave New World comes out Sam is still doubting his abilities; I thought they addressed it already.

    1. That's a great call. That was a big plot point. Shouldn't have been something they had to readdress.
