More Depth in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

 




The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finished its limited series run on Disney Plus in an action packed finale that ties up most of its plot threads. Whilw they didn't quote stick the landing, the series allowed more depth into Sam's personal life and his choice whether to become the new Captain America and Bucky's attempts to break free of his guilt over being a killing machine. Part of the fun is seeing the dynamics of these two.as they bicker and slowly bond. Some old faces (Sharon Carter, Batroc, and Baron Zemo) and some new ones all add to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While not as compelling as Wandavision, it had good moments especially in its reference to an earlier black super soldier and call backs to previous Marvel films like the Blip which wiped half the world as an important plot point. Production values and stunt work are outstanding. This is a promising start for what hopefully will be more of this pair of Avengers.
