Quick question, Since when has anyone called Falcon "Black Falcon"? It felt like the show was trying to make a statement with that scene but Falcon isn't the character to make that statement with.
The most prominent black hero with black in his name is....Black Panther. It felt like the writer chickened out calling out Black Panther and instead just created the "Black Falcon" thing out of thin air, unless it was a diss on Black Lightning.

Realistically, how many times have you heard someone (who wasn't an Avenger) in the MCU refer to Sam as "The Falcon?" Is it that much of a strain to think some people, even a sizeable percentage of the MCU, might have the name wrong? Especially when there's also a Black Panther out there too?

I have to say I am really enjoying the series. It really is elevating the characters of Sam and Bucky and telling an interesting story. It’s also nice to see the world of the MCU expanding on lore and tackling real world issues like race and racism. I been on Reddit and other nerd/ fan related sites and it’s been positive. It’s just disheartening when you see those “fans” who are calling the show too “woke” or political because it dares talk about Sam being black and the racism even a minority Avenger would still face.
It’s funny considering some Marvel haters say the MCU is too kiddie or to humor focused. Then when a MCU starts to tackle real world issues like race or racism it’s “ too political or social”. Some of the fan base ( mainly white fans) just don’t like feel uncomfortable, it reminds me of Fox News hosts when black athletes or celebrities speak out on issues they are told to “shut up and dribble”. Not to offended anyone but it’s ironic large amount fans of super heroes ( who are suppose to represent the best of humanity) are cool with racism or ignorant narrow minded views.
