“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” has ended its six-episode run, crowning a new Captain America and drastically changing the status quo for a number of characters. And in a new episode of The Playlist Podcast, we’re finally discussing “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”
If you somehow avoided the Marvel Studios marketing machine, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” picks up from the events of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” In that film, Steve Rogers retires as Captain America and passes the shield to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), aka Falcon. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” tells the story of what comes next, as Sam Wilson wrestles with the idea of becoming the new Captain America while his buddy Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), aka Winter Soldier, has to come to terms with his bloody past. All of this is happening as a new terrorist group known as the Flag Smashers starts their plan to disrupt the world’s governments through the use of the resurfaced Super Soldier Serum.
Does “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” sputter out in the finale? Where’s Sam Wilson, aka Captain America, going next? Is the Power Broker reveal the worst part of the series or the most interesting? Needless to say, there’s plenty to talk about when it comes to this Disney+ series.
Join Charles Barfield, Mike DeAngelo, and Playlist Editor-in-Chief Rodrigo Perez, as they discuss their overall thoughts on the series, and what the show’s ending means for the future of the MCU.
