The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, One Year On: A Retrospective

Описание: Marvel's second Disney+ original series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has been out for (more or less!) a year, and in this time, fan opinion seems to have shifted, with the series now often seen as one of the least successful MCU projects. In this video - my longest to date! - I wade through the narratives, themes, and politics of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in an attempt to establish whether this mixed reputation is deserved. Is it a mess? Is it a success? Is it both?

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is an American television miniseries created by Malcolm Spellman for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Sam Wilson / Falcon and Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier. Faced with a new super-threat in the radical movement called the Flag Smashers, and the conflicting emotions generated by John F. Walker, the government's newly appointed replacement for Captain America, Sam Wilson (the Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) team up to go on a globe-trotting adventure that tests their abilities…and their patience for one another.
