Falcon et le Soldat de l'hiver

While The Falcon and the Winter Soldier isn't as good as Loki or WandaVision, it's still a really good show. It's an action packed thriller from start to finish. Like most things from Marvel, this show will grab you and pull you into their world from the very first episode and not let go. While all these Marvel series ties into their ongoing story from the movies, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier actually ended having a much bigger impact in the MCU than most of their other series. It shows the start of how Sam Wilson/The Falcon starts his journey to becoming the new Captain America. It also brings you the John Walker (Wyatt Russell) character who joins Bucky/Winter Soldier in the new Thunderbolts movie coming out. You'll have so much fun watching this show that you'll have binged the entire season before you know it. If you plan on watching the new Captain America movie or the Thunderbolts movie then this is a must watch.

Marvel has spoiled us fans in the past. But this series is just not as good. Its not because of politics or of political correctness or of racial mentions; its because of the PLOT.

Which kinda sucks. Inconsistent and at many times just pointless, the plot seems uninspired and forced, in order to make this series' story move forward.

Here's a few: What exactly was Carly's main motivation? What makes the GRC so bad for Carly? Why don't they work more on the idea of the shield as a mantle? That could have been a great opportunity here.

Why get into the power broker story arc in the first place and not further develop it?

And why spend so much time in the political issues? Is that because the script is just non-existant? Maybe... The dialogue at times is also incredibly stupid...which makes me wonder about the way marvel/disney approach their audience nowadays.

Wandavision was not perfect but it was smart and well made with good dialogue and world building. But this one is more closer to a messy, character-lacking and backstory-missing series.

Now why 6,5? 1-The action sequences are good and the start is impressive. Also there is a few more action sequences further on which are worth it. 2-Stan and Mackie are good action actors and look alright on screen, so its fun watching them and their chemistry is ok. 3-because i m a fan like most people here and i still like watching these stories and I appreciate the effort needed to get these done.

I would just like this one to be better... 6,5/10 for the action.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier hits different. It's gritty, it's raw, and honestly, it gets closer to the edge of what we've been craving from Marvel-a deeper dive into what it really means to be a hero. This isn't just Sam and Bucky throwing punches and cracking jokes, though there's plenty of that. It's about the weight of the shield, the burden of legacy, and who truly deserves to carry the mantle of Captain America.

Let's start with the obvious-Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are magic together. Their chemistry isn't just solid, it's the foundation of this show. Whether they're snarking at each other or working through their trauma, they bring so much heart and depth to their roles. It's their dynamic that keeps the story grounded even when the action kicks into high gear. Seriously, without their banter and emotional beats, this show wouldn't hit the same way.

And speaking of action, once this show finds its footing, it soars. Yes, it starts off a little slow, but once we're knee-deep in the espionage and global stakes, it's game on. We're talking full-blown action sequences that rival the movies. But what I love is that it doesn't just rely on spectacle. The fight scenes matter because of what's going on beneath the surface-moral gray areas, power dynamics, and the pressure that comes with being more than just a man behind a shield.

What really makes The Falcon and The Winter Soldier stand out is how it tackles some seriously tough issues. This isn't just a superhero show; it's a story about race, identity, and what it means to be a symbol in America. The way they explore Sam's hesitation to take on the Captain America title is bold. Isaiah Bradley's backstory? Heartbreaking and brutal, but so important. These moments make you pause and reflect, which is rare for a Marvel property, but man, it's powerful.

Now, we have to talk about John Walker. Wyatt Russell as the new Captain America? Oof. The guy just exudes discomfort and frustration, and that's the point. He's not Steve Rogers, and the show makes sure you feel that tension. Walker's descent, especially after that brutal shield moment, is intense, and it raises a lot of uncomfortable questions about power and morality.

This series digs deep into the consequences of being a hero, but it doesn't lose sight of the fun. It's still packed with those moments that make you cheer, laugh, or get a little choked up (yeah, I said it). It's got heart and humor, and that classic Marvel spirit is still there-just with a lot more grit and real-world weight.

Sure, the pacing's not perfect, but when the pieces come together, it's worth the wait. And let's not forget that this is setting up so much more. The Power Broker reveal, the global implications of super-soldiers, and, of course, Sam officially taking up the shield-it's all priming us for the next phase of the MCU.

Bottom line: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier doesn't play it safe. It's got layers, it's got heart, and it's not afraid to tackle the tough stuff. And by the time Sam steps into the Captain America suit? You're all in. This is Marvel storytelling at its finest, and if you're not onboard yet, you're missing out.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" is a thrilling and emotionally rich series that dives deep into themes of legacy, identity, and heroism. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan shine as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, delivering incredible performances that balance action, humor, and heartfelt moments. The series tackles important societal issues while offering breathtaking action sequences and gripping storytelling. With a standout villain in Karli Morgenthau and the exploration of Captain America's legacy, it's a must-watch for Marvel fans craving depth and excitement.

Sit, relax, and watch!!!!!!!!

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a very solid miniseries that gives us MCU's new generation to Captain America. Sure, the movie may not have the best pacing even for streaming and the writing isn't as strong as most of the movies. But it does a very good job for having an enjoyable plot, solid characters, great visuals, exciting action, and a very strong social commentary on the last episode against discrimination and how the world can be corrupted, even to this day. I get that there may be those that prefer watching the MCU movies than the shows since they do have other things, which I understand the sentiment. But I think this is the series that's worth checking out if you want to watch something on Disney Plus that's action packed and legitimately mature. It may not be the best thing to come out of MCU, but I consider this as one of the better MCU shows to find.
