MARVEL's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Official Thread

[NobodyReally]

Man, I'm literally crying here. This Isaiah Bradley tribute is everything. Sam is fukking amazing. He got me all weepy. But Captain America just said 'shyt' on live TV. LOL. He should expect some conservative backlash. Still, that was a damn good speech. Bucky's ability to not hold animosity & work with Walker, Walker's bravery, Sam's empathy towards Karli & her cause...just wow, these are great characters! Sharon confuses me. I don't know what to make of her but I like that too. "Boy you just earned this ass whooping!" Sam is a funny CA. When he first came through that window with the suit, he looked clean AF. I loved him saying "I'm Captain America!" and getting back to work. And Bucky was literally invited to the cookout lol. He looked so happy there. They're tied things up nicely. The ending was so satisfying. Loved the progression & resolution. I'm really emotional right now lol. This was a home run. I would rate this a little higher than WandaVision, although they're very different and probably shouldn't be compared. Regardless, if this is Marvel's future, I'm all in. A+

Man that speech Sam gave was straight out of the Cap play book. No one could have done it better. His unwillingness to fight Karli and her begging him to fight back was sad cause she knew she was wrong at that point. I don't think she's dead. Steve got shot and stabbed and lived.

The Isaiah Bradley memorial was great. I kinda wanted his costume but then it would have taken away from it in hindsight.

Bucky should have changed his name to Nomad. Comic book fans know why.

Sharon being the Power Broker and having access to classified stuff is going to probably tie into A.I.M

Thunderbolts incoming, but Citizen V and U.S. Agent on the same team? Too many Stars and Bars.

I understand why Sam doesn't like to fight, he believes in a better way, he also knows what violence, both inflicting and receiving can do to a person, being a councilor and all.

And did the suit really deflect a helicopter? I mean yeah the shield and the wings, but damn. Also 2 Redwings is dope.

This was a great Finale.

Marvel really can't miss.

Martha.

I like how the MCU designed redwing after the northrop grumman drone X-47.

Great series. I also liked how Bucky wanted nothing to do with white nonsense when it came to women. You could tell he had some fun in Wakanda the way he was eyeing up Sam's sisters Louisiana cakes.

Everything you said. I wouldn’t compare it to Wandavison either minus one aspect: showing how characters deal with trauma and grief and how they come out on the other side.

But yeah everyone got a moment to shine here and the show managed to say some real shyt without being forced.

I do not need close ups of Karlie's aka Freckles.

more worcestershire ginger sauce for me
i liked her character and i understand she was supposed to be the villain with a heart, but a few times throughout the series i didnt like the balance. didnt really like the battlestar death scene because it came across too much like you broke a neighbor's window with a baseball. while the intent may not have been to kill him and they wanted to show her remorse the pause was way too long. in the finale the dialogue between her and walker about battlestar's death was subpar.

maybe im misreading it but what did yall think of her deciding to shoot sam? it would have came off better to me if she didnt make a scowl before she was about to pull the trigger. i also think her verbalizing sorry at the end was unnecessary, not last jedi nooooo levels, but the look on her face alone made the scene.

the walker choose between getting carli or saving the ppl scene was well done. isaiah bradley scenes were great. bucky making peace with his past meh. the cap diplomacy scene with the senators was kinda forced but i also think it would played better if it was shorter but more passionate. never been a critic of mackie but is the latter because of him or how calm they wanted him to play it.

Damn I am surprise some of you were not feeling that Cap speech.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

"its the same, but black"

i see what they did there

 

[Jello Biafra]

Them calling Sam "Black Falcon" was hilarious.

I initially thought that it would be revealed that Sharon Carter is working some deep cover gig with Valentina but that doesn't look to be the case.

So I'm going to now assume that Sharon is a Skrull and her story will continue in the Secret Invasion show that's coming up. Because her behavior makes no sense otherwise.

I thought it was dope. Lol it’s basically what I wish I could say to every politician for the last 30 years

 

[tripleaamin]

Marvel has delivered once again

I am interested in seeing what they do with John Walker's character going forward.

It was dope to see Bucky letting go of the demons of the past at last and seeing Falcon finally get his chance to shine after being the sidekick for so long.

leaving it off with a phone call opens up unlimited possibilities. everything is planned, but they can basically pull anything out of their ass now. "Oh she works for Doom. Nope, Norman Osbourn. Nope! Wilson Fisk! Nope, Nick Fury, the fukk?!" doesn't matter, we get absolutely nothing from that storyline, so it's a blank canvas.

was kinda hoping it was gonna be

Spoiler

Mandarin and that's why they gave us the Shang-Chi trailer this week, to start that hypetrain

 

[Originalman]

Also if they tie sharon carter into A.I.M that would be dope and make sense how the tv series ended here.

Sams speech in the middle of New York

Spoiler

Sharon as the power broker while being a shield or sword agent is dope as hell

really fukk with this show minus one aspect:

Spoiler

in the end they really sided more with walker than carlie and that’s telling of a larger issue obviously. The show tried to have its cake and eat it too regarding both characters rather than plant its feet firmly in one camp. And that’s disappointing and wack writing.

that aside, this pleased me for the most part and hit the notes I wanted it to hit, and gave real growth to its main two characters.

I agree on the Walker stuff. It's like they were sent a memo that he had to be redeemed fully by the end of the show so they just hand waved away all of his psychotic tendencies and made him a stand up guy.
It felt really odd.
