Falcon and The Winter Soldier

But sure here is more criticism to the show

First off is the dialogue of the show. Everything is terrible especially when the show tries to be smart like talking about the shield. It always comes off as clunky and out of character to the point where I can barely tell who is talking exactly

Second the characters. Like I said only Zemo ended up better than before. Sam Wilson is ironically enough reduced in this show to just being ‘the black guy’ and ignores everything about the character. It forgets he fought for the army, is viewed as a hero even after breaking the law twice and helped veterans with ptsd. In the show him being in the army is pushed aside considering I would think he has some pride in his country since he risked his life in service but he never seriously contests Isaiah and even lets his words get to him. Same goes for the next point of him considering Isaiah claims people wouldn’t accept a black Captain America and that no black person would want to be (even though Rhodey had no issue with iron patriot). Lastly you’d think he be more empathic toward Bucky which would’ve given him a real arc in the show

Finally the message is completely muddle. Sam insists on not using labels on people who are obviously terrorists. His argument is also we should consider why terrorists do what they do and should just give into what they want. There is no way around it that’s what his speech was. Did he do that when he served the military? The show also inadvertently makes Sam ignorant by acting like the shield’s legacy never had any bad history. Obviously the shield is suppose to represent America as a whole and so Sam obviously understands racism. On top of that the show also pretends Hulk wasn’t a product of captain America yet banner never hated him nor did anyone blame captain America and say his legacy is complicated because of the hulk. Again something else the show could’ve explored but didn’t

tl;dr every character sucks, the dialogue sucks and it just wastes tons of potential while ignoring ten plus years of movie continuity

Edit: another thing is telling but not showing. It tells us Karli’s life was better during the same and the GRC are corrupt bureaucrats who are hurting refugees and innocent people but it never shows any of this
