I've been very excited to get back to the current MCU timeline and this episode didn't sugarcoat any of it. The action in the opening had that classic MCU thrilling feel. It was awesome watching Falcon do what he does best, but beneath that something felt out of place. Seeing Sam wrestle with the legacy of Captain America's shield was intense. It's clear he respects the heck out of Steve. But he doesn't feel ready to stand in his shoes. And that tension felt super real. Then we have Bucky. His loneliness, guilt, and attempts to make things right. The scene with Yori and realizing what was really happening hit like a ton of bricks. It made me realize that Bucky still carries so much heaviness with him. He has to deal with all of it, but where do you even start? The introduction of the Flag Smashers was intriguing. I definitely want to know more about why they believe the Blip was better. A strange, yet complex idea that shows just how twisted and fractured the world is now. I'm ready to see more after this deeply real first episode into Falcon and Bucky's lives. This is clearly going to be a series about legacy, identity, and navigating a world that doesn't always see your worth. And I'm very curious, yet a little heartbroken, to see where that story goes.

Sorry this one is so late! We had a gnarly storm roll through and we lost power for almost an hour which pushed me back on the edit :) be safe out there if you're in one of these storms tonight!

LET'S GOOOOO! I just finished the Loki reactions yesterday and I'm excited for this one!

Yeah I think we are supposed to get more around midnight 👀 stay safe out there!

Hi, Kali. I’m glad you’re finally checking out the series. I have two fun facts to share right off the bat. Savannah, Georgia was used as a stand-in for Delacroix, Louisiana. However, this is still right up Anthony Mackie's wheelhouse. He grew up in New Orleans, and if you were to go fishing in the South you'd be lucky to have him as your guide. In an interview with Sean Evans on Hot Ones while promoting this show, Anthony revealed that he would go fishing in between takes of Infinity War and Endgame. He would have a grill next to his trailer to cook his fish on the spot. Some people had a problem with that, but once they tasted his fish they understood.

it only took one episode for me to quit this show, one of the most definitive drops ive ever had, dont @me people who cant handle critique.

Hey, I get it! I nearly did the same after the first episode but was eventually glad that I persevered. While I don't think this is one of the stronger MCU series, what I did come to appreciate was the complexity of the "villains." While I disagreed with their agenda, I could understand their motivation. It reminded me of Thanos, who became a horrible, murderous enemy, but whose original motive was borne out of good intent: to reduce pain and suffering in the face of a population on the verge of a horrible collapse. So if you feel up to it, give it a couple of episodes this time, and allow the soothing presence of Kali to ease you past the early difficulties... 😁

the steady hand of a kaliwals reaction is comforting, but im afraid its just not enough for some things.

The Dingo

So a couple of things: The bad guy Falcon fought at the beginning was Batroc - he was the same bad guy that hijacked the ship at the beginning of "Captain America: Winter Soldier" Also, the legacy of the shield and the reason that Sam didn't take the shield is even deeper than you know, and it will be explored later in the show. And no, the new Captain America is not the man that Falcon saved, it is someone new you haven't seen yet. And finally, the "kid" you thought seemed familiar is also brand new; he hasn't been in the MCU yet. Looking forward to this show with you.

You touched on something important at the start of this video that even the most ardent of Marvel fans are having to (begrudgingly) admit. The reason why the consensus seems to be that Marvel fell off after Endgame is because of just how disjointed everything is in Phases 4 and 5. Prior to that, Marvel did a masterful job of tying everything together in way that made sense and built up to these massive ensemble movies that we all know and love. Unfortunately, none of that carried over into Phases 4 and 5. The shame of it is that there are some really good movies and shows in here, but when you ask yourself "how does this tie into the larger story", the answer never comes. That's not only disappointing, but really uncharacteristic for a studio that's already proven it knows how to do this.

I really enjoy that this show deals with the aftermath of heroes saving the day. Sure they brought back people after Thanos erased them, but think of the chaos that would spawn after 5 years, billions of people just reappearing. People would lose their homes, family may have passed, relationships might have ended, it would be so terrible for all those poor people who came back. Its really intriguing to see even someone like Sam, a literal hero, having to deal with the day to day of just being a person who isn't Tony Stark levels of rich. "Poor Bucky" should be a tagline for his existence cause, man. He has been through so much and it wasn't even his fault, but after being used and abused, he has to live with all these people hes killed. Then your best friend kind of leaves and retires so you can't lean on him anymore. That's a really tough break 😅 I'm very interested to see how you feel as the show goes on Kali! See you next time!

"clap clap clap" Awesome job Kali. Your intro really set the stage well in summarizing what had happened, where we are now, and specifically where these characters are. One of the challenges in bringing movie characters to the TV screen is: will the new writers/directors be able to convincingly portray them as we knew them in the films? It would be ruined if they came across as different people, even in subtle ways. I thought they did a really good job with that aspect. The best outcome for Bucky in my view would be he somehow kinda gets back his 1940s persona, just with the added super soldier serum and the "lived in" face showing the emotional burden he carries. I strongly disagree with the Flag Smashers' whole premise. The problem on this particular planet is not a shortage of resources but the total corruption, greed, and mismanagement on how they are shared and distributed. Just the amount of food that is thrown away in one day in the U.S. is horrifying. Killing 50% of the population does nothing to solve that. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this with you. I'll do my best to be patient as you work through the TV series, Shang-Chi, Eternals, etc on your way to Wanda's next adventure in Doctor Strange 2 lol. Seeing things through your perspective always gives me new angles and insights to chew on so it's all great.

Interesting! I don't want to defend this show, it falters later on, but I actually thought the first episode was a reasonably strong start! Apart from the odd choice of not having Sam and Bucky interact at all, I thought it was a fine setup. I'd be curious to know what in it was its downfall for you? If I had to pick one thing in this episode I least liked, it'd be the therapist. I loved the cinematography and the overall storybeats in that therapy session, but my god, that is some godawful therapy-ing by her. 😂 It's rule number one that you don't tell your patients what to do. And that's literally all she does. 🙄

Really looking forward to this series as you continue through it! I love off the bat how we get to see these characters, through the format of a TV series, with more time to breathe, and explore backstories. To really dive into their guilt, apprehensions and traumas. As someone who's very empathic like you, I really felt the weight of those right away in this episode. Grounded. That's definitely the perfect way to describe this start, and I really love the series for that. And for showing that the blip had so many consequences even beyond what we initially thought. And like you said, instead of brushing those away, it faces them head on And yeah, crazy weather yesterday! Had a very small tornado touch down while I was at work, and all the group chats were blowing up with "Tornado! Tornado!". Glad it wasn't anything worse for you! And now with that system passed, it seems like the craziest heat wave is coming LOL

kaliwali

That's an awesome bit of trivia! I love when productions go the extra mile to make it feel really grounded in a specific place. Knowing Savannah stood in for Delacroix makes me appreciate those scenes even more, honestly. That Southern vibe really came through! And wow, Anthony Mackie sounds awesome! I've heard a few gossipy rumors about him being difficult to work with/around recently. So it's nice to hear some good gossip lol. I can totally picture him offering grilled fish like, 'trust me' 🤣🤣 Love stories like that! Thank you!

kaliwali

I feel like I say this to you a lot (LOL) but totally fair that everyone has their own taste and not everything will click! I actually did end up enjoying this one for how it explored life after the Blip and gave more depth into Bucky and Sam. But I totally respect you knowing it's not for you! 💛

kaliwali

Oooh awesome, thank you for the details! This is the kind of context I enjoy getting to help me piece things together. I thought that guy looked familiar but couldn't really place which Captain America or Avenger film he was in so I just didn't say anything in fear of sounding dumb! LOL I'm intrigued to hear the legacy of the shield and how it goes even deeper than this! I'm really glad this series is taking time to explore that more. And I appreciate the clarification on the new Cap and the kid too! This is why I didn't say anything about the Batroc 🤣🤣

kaliwali

I had a feeling that was the case.. I can feel that unclear sense of direction, myself. So totally understandable why others would feel a bit lost going into Phase 4. The pieces are all being put on the board still, but the board is SO much larger now. That said, I totally agree that there are gems out there and I absolutely enjoyed my time in Black Widow, WandaVision and Loki Season 1 so far! Plus this first dive into Falcon/Winter Soldier didn't disappoint and has me excited to uncover more! I just with that the MCU would have done a better job at tying it all together for us. Especially when we've already seen how satisfying that can be! Here's to hoping it starts to click again soon! I've heard hype things about the state of the MCU currently. I can't wait to catch up lol

rubberkidney

yea its sort of inevitable that you will run through these things like the star wars and now marvel, sadly i think they drastically dropped the quality, and seemed to put no thought into the choices they made. as an avid reader of classic marvel and the star wars expanded universe, knowing how much they have to draw on, its so disappointing to see them turn to what in my opinion is just slop. gone are the careful crafting and world building of the OT and prequels and infinity saga, now it just feels like a room full of kids writing a statement on their politics, and they dont even understand the fundamentals of story telling. you continue to be great though kali, its almost enough to make me want to watch some of these things!

kaliwali

I love what you said about Bucky! There is something really poignant about the idea of him reconnecting with that original 1940's self. Like he is trying to reclaim a part of him that wasn't forged by pain. He 100% deserves this healing arc and I'm here for it! And yeah, the Flag Smashers.. I get that they were going for a morally gray area there, but I'm with you. The core problem isn't population; it's the systems that hoard and waste. It's honestly a really deep real-world parallel that almost hurts to look at. Especially when you think about how much good could be done with what we already have. Really looking forward to more of this show! I think I'm going to enjoy it.
