Although this was already clear after WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, created by head writer Malcolm Spellman (Empire), offers further proof that Marvel Studios is treating its television shows exactly the way it treats its films in terms of scope and ambition. Disney+ provided only this single first episode to critics, so it’s hard to say how well the series succeeds as an overall piece of storytelling, but even if you think the constant flow of Marvel content into the mainstream cultural pipeline has gotten a bit overwhelming — the sixth and final episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier drops on April 23, then, after a week off, the movie Black Widow arrives on May 7 — it’s hard to deny that it produces consistently solid, entertaining work.The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Season 1 Download.
Compared with WandaVision, probably the most experimental MCU work to date, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is definitely more traditional Marvel fare, but it kicks into gear so quickly that this feels like less of a letdown than it might have been. Like WandaVision, this series grapples with life in the aftermath of the Blip, when one-half of humanity wakes up from a five-year nap caused by Thanos’s snap. While Wanda Maximoff reacts by creating a fake suburbia to escape reality, Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, is jetting around the world on military missions and frequently stopping back home to Delacroix, Louisiana, where his sister, Sarah (Adepero Oduye), is trying to raise two boys and keep the inherited family business running. Turns out that when millions of people disappear for half a decade, it can really mess up the economy.
As the series begins, Sam is wrestling with his responsibilities in both these aspects of his life as well as the discomfort that comes with essentially trying to become some new version of Captain America, the role once assumed by his old friend Steve Rogers.
