The world has a budding terrorist group in the Flag Smashers, who, according to Falcon’s charming army friend Torres ( Danny Ramirez), are fans of “The Blip” and what it achieved for the world. The evil brewing underneath this episode is of course a great mystery, but it is successfully intriguing. The big moment for him in this episode is that he gets a date with a bartender ( Miki Ishikawa), who challenges him to a drinking game of Battleship and starts to peel away his layers. We’ve seen all types of Bucky in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and this episode shows him in a fairly isolated but sardonic state he doesn’t have many friends (except for a kind old man), he struggles with therapy, and he is still very much an outsider, reminded every so often that he’s actually 106 years old. As the story establishes more of Sam’s personal side, it uses these family elements to humanize him while showing that it’s not like Avengers are salaried.Įlsewhere in the United States, James "Bucky" Barnes aka the Winter Soldier ( Sebastian Stan) is dealing with some PTSD from his days of working for the evil Hydra, who brainwashed him before the people of Wakanda helped free his brain. He’d rather focus on his family, namely the boat that his parents owned and ran a business with for years his sister Sarah (a scene-stealing Adepero Oduye), on the other hand, wants to sell the boat because of the expenses, and the financial devastation that came in from five years of “The Blip,” as the vanishing events from " Avengers: Infinity War" are now called.
But as we see early in this episode, Sam does not want that role, and instead donates it to the Smithsonian. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” picks up months after the events of “ Avengers: Endgame,” in which Chris Evans’ Captain America handed over his shield to Sam Wilson/Falcon ( Anthony Mackie), essentially passing on the title to him.

But the action-which I bet will define this series overall-leaves one hoping the show's later episodes are treated with more imagination and ambition. Disney has only provided the first episode for review, so there isn’t a whole lot of new story to chew on.
