Amph Marvel's Falcon & Winter Soldier [Disney+]

going back to those tweets now and seeing that Bucky has a scene with a therapist. Well that's good to hear. i was going to say that character needs some help, not just a little R&R in Wakanda and he's all good.

 

Social media reaction is here.

Anyways, more out there so going to stop now. I wonder if that cliffhanger is Cap's death.
Here is the second clip

I don’t care what any of those Twitter people think lol

 

Best thing I heard so far. Still annoyed how true cap 3 was denied to us.
Civil war feels more sequel to age of ultron than to catws.

 

I don’t care what anyone else thinks either as I really enjoy what I’ve seen thus far (and love a bit too). The humor is great. And giving Bucky even more char

A few seconds of new footage

Spoiler

Sam throwing the shield

, and Bucky’s response to Sam about why he did

Spoiler

not use his left arm is all kinds of self conscious

NY Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/12/arts/television/falcon-winter-soldier-disney.html

 

Really the first featurette sold it for me even if the whole thing is basically just PG-13 MCU Superpowered Lethal Weapon. That's honestly all I need.

 

I feel like it's more of it's own thing, that pulls everything together that had come before it for a massive event, ala Avengers. I wouldn't have minded if we'd had a Cap 3 that was more about Cap on his own, and had Civil War as it's completely own thing.

 

If someone wants to put interesting parts from NYtimes article in quotes, it would be appreciated.

I think Steve and team for sure needed their 3rd movie. Is why I feel Steve's story ended too quick and felt rushed.

 

Steve, Nat, Sam, and Bucky vs. that group of Winter Soldiers would have been amazing imo.

 

Cap3 is an Avengers movie. However it was supposed to be, that's what it ended up being.

 

To be fair, everything that happens in Civil War pretty much is a result of the actions of the Winter Solider (aside from Zemo being ticked off about Sokovia) and Steve keeping his mouth shut when he realllly probably shouldn't have. He drops the shield at the end cuz it's admitting a mistake.

I keep thinking "Cap returns the stones, lives with Peggy and potentially cleans up that timeline before anything bad happens" could be the 4th Cap movie if they ever wanted to do it.

 

I’d add that killing the additional Winter Soldiers so quickly was a big mistake too. Hmmm...

Spoiler

wondering if Walker or Zemo’s cronies received a variant of the Russian Hydra Winter Soldier serum?

 

Final trailer...lots of great stuff here with an awesome focus on Sam.

 

I don't recognize that helicopter gunship, maybe it's supposed to be a stealth copter like the ones that got Bin Laden?

Sam is standing in the back of the 130 cargo compartment shielding himself with his wings, and behind him you can see both paratroop doors are open. A moment later you can see him in a more close up shot with one paratroop door behind him, and the door is closed. Marvel, watch your continuity, people are paying attention!

 

Sexy trailer. RIP Redwing.
Now Marvel, can you give Sam his actual bird powers you cowards.
Is time with all these people getting powers and mutants about to show up. Is Sam an actual mutant in the comics.
I think that telepathic connection with birds is really cool.

 

Looking forward to seeing Enfys Nest in action again.

 

This interview with the writer is good. I really hope the show reflects it.

 

Don't most villains believe they are heroes?
Thanos, Magneto, Doctor Doom, Darth Vader and plenty of others all think they're doing the right thing.

Especially Grace Randolph.
No idea how she still gets access to previews of stuff like this.

 

I don't care for her either but she's good at cultivating a following. She's a movie reviewer with a fairly large subscriber base who isn't openly hostile to 90% of what the studio puts out (unlike some of the larger Star Wars hate channels). That's what gets her early access to screeners. Smaller channels than hers get that.

 

But she has openly argued with movie directors on Twitter and been known to spread fake rumours (like the one about Pedro Pascal quitting the Mandalorian).

I'm surprised certain studios still give her access after that kind of thing.
They've blacklisted other reviewers for less

 

Give me some specifics on the less.

Bad press, especially inaccurate bad press, is something studios are used to managing. Marvel/Disney usually does so by ignoring it. That's how little they're generally concerned with it.

 

They fired Gunn (initially) & Carano for attracting negative publicity.

I've heard some the Fandom Menace outrage YouTubers complain about how Disney & other studios stopped letting them have access to stuff, blaming it on the fact that they don't like criticism and only want "shills" reviewing what they put out.
Obviously the real reason is because they're toxic and studios want nothing to do with them.

If they cut ties with toxic content creators who spread false rumours and stir up hate, why then keep giving access to a known liar like Randolph who openly argues with movie directors when they contradict her "sources"?
If I was a director/showrunner/writer I wouldn't want her having advanced access to my movie or TV show if she treats other directors that way.
Protect your industry, don't reward such people for their behaviour just because they have a following and can promote your content.
