![]() ![]() The episode ends with Sam opening a box from Wakanda and yes, we all knew it was going to be a new suit. I know some people were wondering about his ability to wield the shield (nice rhyme there) without super powers like Cap, but it was never explicitly stated that Cap needed his enhanced strength and agility to use it, so I had no problem with it. In this episode Sam finally embraces the shield and we get a decent training montage. SAM INNER MONOLOGUE: Man! It’s really jammed in there What’s Bucky’s favourite ice cream flavour? Chocolate. And I loved Bucky flirting with Sam’s sister. We also got to see Bucky and Sam winding down and bonding while fixing Sam’s boat, and that was cool. Not only is he a major villain but Daniel Brühl is easily the breakout star of TFATWS. And come on, I don’t know what tension they were trying to build up there but we all knew that Bucky wasn’t going to shoot Zemo. This episode also did some wrapping up of the Zemo storyline with Bucky handing him over to the Dora Milaje. And I am interested to seeing more from her in the MCU. I’m not familiar with the character from the comics (I read up that she is also Madame Hydra) but I thought Louis-Dreyfus was quirky and fun. And I really was not expecting to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine) as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (man that’s a mouthful). I actually felt sorry for the guy, which is shocking because he’s been quite the douche so far. Wyatt Russell delivers his best performance of the series in that riveting court scene. And I can still remember Faux Cap “clipping” Sam’s wings and feel the crunch of Sam and Bucky breaking Walker’s arm. It was quite the visceral, action-packed brawl and showcased the three different fighting styles well. And it felt like a callback to the Cap and Bucky vs Iron Man fight in the climax of Captain America: Civil War, which is fitting as TFATWS has served mostly as a sequel series to that film as much as Endgame. ![]() There was still some action courtesy of Sam and Bucky vs John Walker aka Captain America aka Faux Cap. Episode 5: Truth WALKER: I can do this all day BUCKY: Oh, shut upĪfter the breathtaking experience of The World is Watching the Powers That Be decided to let audiences catch their breath with the next episode, Truth. With a vibranium shield-sized SPOILER ALERT let’s review Episode 5 and then the finale. While the final two episodes did not reach the heights of Episode 4 they still provide a fitting and satisfying end to this thoroughly entertaining superhero series with surprising depth. TFATWS, however, started slowly but improved with every episode, reaching its zenith in the excellent fourth episode The Whole World is Watching. While I thought WandaVision started strongly, with its unique and avant garde storytelling, in the end the show played it very safe, didn’t do the side characters justice, and the finale fell somewhat flat for me. Hulu and ESPN+ can be bundled in for $13.99 per month.The curtain has come down on Disney+’s second MCU series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS, because that name is too dang long) and I’m just gonna come out and say it-I preferred it to WandaVision.Disney+ subscriptions cost $7.99 per month or $79.99 for the year.Disney+ recently updated its prices, which will begin rolling out Friday.

There’s also a band of rebels making their way around the world, promoting an ideology that the world was better after Thanos’ Snap.So it’s possible we’ll see some fallout from that mess. government crowning a new Captain America. ![]() So it wouldn’t be shocking if we saw the two team up since the show is based around them. We didn’t see Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) interact with each other in the first episode.There have been few leaks of the next episode, nor do we know what to expect based on any trailers. Honestly, we don’t know much about the second episode. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will return with its second episode early Friday morning, and we really don’t have any idea what it will be about. ![]()
