The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 4 - Oh. My. God.
I can't say much because this, as we all know, is a spoiler-free zone.
But... this ones a doozy.
Wow, like... wow. There's some brutal, shocking, stuff here - even for this series - so, be careful, k?
Here's a nice, happy gif of Sam and Bucky:

It's hard to imagine Captain America as anyone other than Steve Rogers, but that article was pretty cool. I love the idea of a Black Captain America. I wonder if we could even have a queer or trans Captain :)
ReplyDeleteWell, there's a Gay Captain America 'of the Railroads' due this year! (There has already been much Homophobia from White dude bros.)
DeleteI love the way The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has been looking at the implications of a Black Captain America - but in a subtle way.
I watched the first episode of Falcon and Winter Soldier, but it just wasn't doing it for me. Hearing that there's some good reveals later on definitely makes me reconsider giving it a go.
ReplyDeleteEach episode has a different vibe, but they're still clearly in the same series, so it's hard to explain, really. Episode 1 was very much a setting-things-up episode, so I'd try ep 2, where the plot starts to pick up, and see if you're feeling it or not. :)
