BEST MOMENTS OF FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Best Moments

HELICOPTER FIGHT



The helicopter fight at the beginning of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's first episode was a great way to start the series off with some high energy and allow the audience to see what Sam Wilson was up to after the events of Avengers: Endgame.

HIGHWAY FIGHT



The second episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier saw a fast-paced highway battle between Sam and Bucky, the Flag Smashers, and John Walker and Lamar Hoskins. It set up the main conflict of the series and saw the new Captain America in action for the first time.

BUCKY IN WAKANDA



One of the most emotional Marvel moments of 2021 came in the form of a flashback to Bucky's time in Wakanda. Viewers got to witness the moment when he realized he was finally free from the infamous Winter Soldier trigger words, and the huge level of relief and weight off of his chest was evident.

JOHN WALKER VS THE DORA MILAJE



The juxtaposition of the American vs. Wakandan fighting styles was on full display in this wild fight in Zemo's apartment, and the removal of Bucky's Wakandan-made vibranium arm was a gut-punch.

JOHN WALKER KILLS a FLAG SMASHED



The darkest moment of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is unquestionably when, after Lamar Hoskins is killed, John Walker beats a Flag Smasher to death with the Captain America shield in broad daylight for the world to see.

SAM'S FINALE SPEECH



After everything he has learned over the course of the series, particularly from Isaiah Bradley and Karli Morganthau, Sam makes an iconic speech that is broadcast live across the world and proves why he is the perfect choice for the next Captain America.


PLOT AND REVIEW

Bold, exciting and constantly surprising, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a miniseries well worthy of Captain America 4 status. Rich with intrigue, its themes feed into each other seamlessly and through characters that are charming, likable, distinct, and interesting throughout.

It’s a story about race, overcoming trauma, terrorism and its roots, and the harmful effects of propaganda. These ideas work their way naturally into the Captain America canon and it never feels forced. Sam and Bucky received a lot of overdue exploration and proved themselves as tactful, well-rounded leading men capable of carrying the Captain America mantle further without Steve while maintaining his righteous legacy. Steve may be gone but I still sense his presence in these two.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier steadies its focus on where it should: Sam and Bucky. This series shows how truly human they are despite being superheroes. I’m really satisfied I sat through this show. Its style and emotional weight is very in tune with the Captain America films and they're my personal favorites of the whole MCU. Regardless of its flaws, I believe Falcon and the Winter Soldier stands proudly beside its cinematic predecessors.

scored 7.3 out of 10 on IMDb.
