Marvel bridges gaps into new,
occasionally too familiar territory
By TJ REID
For the Keizertimes
Out of all my many hobbies, the most
taxing on my wallet has always been
comic book collecting. Issues that feature
the fi rst appearance of famous characters
are particularly coveted by collectors,
with some rare issues going for mil-
lions of dollars at auction. Another type
of comic that I personally like to collect
are ones that are historically signifi cant
in the real world. With this in mind, it is
no surprise that Captain America #117,
which features the fi rst appearance of
the fi rst African American superhero in
a mainstream comic book, the Falcon, is
one of the most cherished issues in my
collection. I was therefore thrilled when
the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ver-
sion of the character, brought to life by
Anthony Mackie, had the chance to make
history once again (alongside Sebastian
Stan’s Bucky Barnes) in the new limited
series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,
although I ultimately found that the jour-
ney to get there could have been a little
more polished.
Despite the very diff erent tones and
genres, it is hard not to compare The
Falcon and the Winter Soldier with
Disney+’s last premium Marvel series
WandaVision. While the latter defi ed
genre expectations and challenged what
it meant to be a comic book adaptation,

the former feels a lot more familiar. While
WandaVision felt like a weird experiment,
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is much
more akin to a typical Marvel blockbuster
split into six episodes, with fast-paced
and exciting action scenes, a lot of banter,
and a lot of dependence on knowledge of
what’s come before (I can’t imagine this
story being easy to follow for someone
who has not seen any of the other MCU
outings). The acting is great all around,
the fi ght choreography and special eff ects
are appropriately grand, and the story is
not afraid to explore some highly relevant
issues such as race and immigration.
That being said, there are some minor
fl aws that keep The Falcon and the Winter
Soldier from soaring to the heights that a
couple of MCU entries have reached in the
past. I did not fi nd the banter between the
two main characters to be quite as sharp
and entertaining as I would have liked it
to be, which was a bit of a disappointment
after witnessing their brief yet brilliant
interactions in previous movies such as
Captain America: Civil War. The story is
also a bit murky at certain points as it tries

some bro issues in one of the laugh-out-loud scenes from Disney+'s The Falcon and Winter
Soldier. (Photo courtesy Disney+)
to juggle a handful of diff erent antagonis-
tic forces, each with its own agenda. And
on the action side of things, The Falcon
and the Winter Soldier occasionally falls
prey to one of my least favorite tropes
in cinema: the dreaded shaky cam. Why
directors can’t just fi lm normally without
having the camera operators fl ailing their
arms everywhere, I have no idea, but this
technique sometimes made it diffi cult to
track every punch, kick, and wing stab in
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
But despite its fl aws, The Falcon and
the Winter Soldier is still a whole lot of
fun. I’m glad the two characters fi nally got
room to breathe and be in the spotlight for
a bit, and I’m sure Steve Rogers can rest
easy knowing that his shield is in good
hands.
All six episodes of The Falcon and
the Winter Soldier are now available on
Disney+.
