 Yeah I didn't say I would watch it but I did and not exactly thrilled that it did but I don't regret watching it. I guess that's the best I can say about it. Oh that's a hot mug guys. Hey guys this is my review for the Falcon and Winter Soldier series by Disney Plus. This came to an end a few days ago and I admittedly didn't have the chance to review it because I actually had to go off and do something. Now I'm getting to put my two cents in to be honest even though as harsh as I was on WandaVision I think it was a little bit better than this one because while this one did have some good moments it had a lot of good pieces here and there it also had a lot of dry bits. This show followed Falcon and Winter Soldier Bucky as they were dealing with kind of the aftermath of Falcon's choice to not take up the mantle of Captain America even though Steve gave him the shield and we're seeing kind of the socio-political economics of what's happening with the world not only in terms of a new Captain America being chosen played by White Russell but also what's been happening with the world since the blip happened. Obviously since half of the world disappeared and they had to make due to what they had and they actually became better for it and then the other half came back now obviously the world isn't kind of a little bit of turmoil and this is something that hasn't really been talked about yet so this is a new aspect. In terms of how the things were coming back together obviously there were some people who weren't agreeing with how the governments in the world were coming back and so that's why there's these flag smashers which yes that is a terrible name are doing these terrorist attacks to try and return the world to what it is and I will say first off that these are some of the worst developments that MCU has ever put out. They try so hard to make you sympathize with them even the actress who they chose they're making you try to sympathize with these people. The whole idea that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter that's trying to be in place here with this character but it's such garbage. Her plight and her cause is completely ridiculous and at the end of the show when she dies and they try to frame it to make you feel bad about her you don't give a shit when she got shot it was like cool is expecting this didn't care don't care move on but now talking about things that were done well I actually think that Sam's transition to Captain America while kind of arduous was actually really well done in most places I liked how he is using his kind of banter slash aggression with Bucky as a means of trying to avoid the obvious topic of him taking on the mantle the whole role that Steve gave to him by the end you really see him take that fold like when he has that conversation with Bucky about if you want to make up for the things if you want to get better do the work when he is trying to have the conversation with the terrorist ginger and at the end of the series when he's having the a little bit heavy handed kind of conversation with the political figures and being like hey we should try and do better blah blah blah Bucky had some room some kind of potential for a lot of really cool bits to him like I was really expecting to see a lot more from him considering mainly he was really a tool in this and even at the end when he finally makes amends and he tries to go and apologize to that guy for killing a son all that year all those years ago and he was the winner soldier and then it just cuts to the figures and the smoke and tears and that's it you don't really see what the aftermath of that conversation was we don't see if Bucky actually got forgiven by him how does that conversation end I don't know how it ends and I wanted to really see that bit I thought that bit was a bit yeah and then a character who really had a fantastic up and then a kind of wet fart of a down was Wyatt Russell as the new captain America or the US agent started off really good because I felt sympathetic I like that he had Lamar as his his compass his moral compass and as we see him kind of go through the stripes of trying to be the new captain America not only dealing with falcon and winter soldier but also just the whole political issue of it we see that Lamar is keeping him straight even if maybe a little bit off the off the path but then when Lamar dies that's when things go bad and actually probably the best episode in this entire show was episode four with how it ended with him full on killing that guy with the shield and that shot with the shield covered in blood which let's be real here it should have been covered in blood many times by now that was a really good bit and then it continued on into episode five with that fight that was okay in some shots and then terrible in others that there's these really weird up close shots I kept going back and forth between thinking this was great and thinking this was terrible and then after it it's nothing he doesn't really get any kind of punishment for what he's done he just all of a sudden just gets a new job but there's no reprimands like you're not saying that he should have gotten punished for killing a terrorist in public I just thought there would have been a hell of a lot more fallout for that it just seems that everyone kind of forgets about him at the end and I thought that was just really strange and then there was the whole Isaiah Bradley thing which was a bit of a whoa apparently this is obviously based on the comics and apparently Isaiah was actually before Cap in the comics but this one they kind of made him this other captain America during the Cold War and how he was put in prison for 30 years and we see how just he was treated like shit I like how he is kind of a mirror of what could become of Sam of what could happen to him if he doesn't really take on the responsibility and also just having things go not his way but it did like how at the end we saw Isaiah get the recognition for what he deserves but immediately you would think that anyone walking up to this statue and see oh hey this guy used to be captain America too oh he was put in jail for 30 years what the fuck's that about us government got to know something more than just a statue of him kind of public announcement that yeah we fucked this dude over I don't know I thought that would have been a little bit more prominent overall Falcon and Winter Soldier had a lot of bits that were decent I like the Zemo bit actually I had to say Zemo was really well utilized in this I thought he was actually going to be really heavy handed or just not well used at all but in fact he was used a lot better than Sharon Carter who we all guessed was the Shadow Broker was it even in any fucking doubt and at the end too what was that post credit thing with her what does that even mean that doesn't mean anything essentially it's like cool we knew this and that's when I come back to the kind of ideology of describing this show as a wet fart because it started off with some potential sure it took a little bit of a ways to get there but then the middle was really solid and then it just faltered there's a lot of homages to previous works both in the comics and the show hell when Sam comes through the window with the wings and the shield that's exactly how Steve Rogers came into the building at the beginning of Civil War so that was a really cool hearkening back to that stuff but honestly I thought this was kind of very middle of the road again as I said with WandaVision they are making these shows with the idea that yeah you could watch them and you would get a little bit more but it's not entirely essential until they make these shows 100% essential for you to watch to understand what's going on they're going to continue to be this middle of the road thing the last chance any of them have is Loki and this will both have some funny storytelling and some visual elements so maybe but honestly I don't care I'm just gonna keep on watching Invincible which by the way if you guys haven't seen Invincible yet you really should it's really freaking good it's almost over but you should watch it in the end Falcon and Winter Soldier wasn't a complete loss but at the same time it wasn't really an achievement at least in my opinion I thought that it was it should have been a little longer things didn't wrap up as well as they could have some things were really heavy-handed some characters weren't utilized and your entire villain aspect of this whole series was someone that you couldn't side with someone that you were immediately and entirely against they went from having like 100 people in the fifth episode to having five of them in the final episode what the hell happened with that maybe certain things were affected by COVID I know that that apparently there was actually a bit of storyline in the first episode that was dropped that they changed it around because of COVID circumstances so maybe that might have been why but otherwise I'm gonna give Falcon and Winter Soldier a three out of seven I really didn't find this as interesting as I thought it would I would watch the middle of it maybe but aside from that I just feel like it was kind of really really middle of the road I'd rather watch Wandavision again I didn't think I'd ever say that and yeah guys that's all from me I hope you enjoyed this review if you did leave a like
