The finale is finally here and we were not disappointed. In the season finale, titled 'One World, One People', Sam and Bucky race to New York to try and stop the Flag Smashers from their attack.  Sharon quickly joins the fight to help, stating that 'I heard pardons were overrated' and helps Bucky and Sam try and take down the vote and the Flag Smashers. Sam premieres his new Captain America suit and it's amazing! It fits him well and it makes Steve's choice the right choice for Captain America.  Karli has seriously lost control of the situation as she is no longer caring about the message that they first agreed to, but sending out the message she wants, which is that the Flag Smashers should be feared. Walker makes an appearance as his version of Captain America with the fake shield that he made in the cut scene from the last episode, wanting to avenge Lemar.  Sam's resourcefulness and unwillingness to give up shows why he's perfect. He may not have the ...

In this week's episode, Walker faces off against Sam and Bucky right out of the gate as they try to get the shield from him, knowing that the government is going to punish him. It is a very intense fight because now that Walker has the serum, he is not so easy to fight. It's almost like taking out Steve himself. By the end, Bucky gets the shield and not so subtly gives it back to Sam saying what he's been saying all along. Walker of course, gets his titles stripped of him and gets honorable discharged, but with no benefits. This is the part of the episode where we get some realism as I am sure some soldiers have to face when they do things that they may not morally agree with or if they make mistakes. The government sees the soldiers as numbers and do not see them as people.  After court, we get to see Val for the first time and it's none other then the fabulous Julia-Louis Dreyfus, returning for the first time since her battle and victory against cancer. If you have ne...

  In this week's episode, Bucky, Sam, and Zemo are racing against the clock to try and find the Flag Smashers. This one is a long one with a lot of things happening so strap in and let's go.  The show starts off on a very depressing note, so be careful. We get to see how Bucky was able to get past the codes with the help of the Wakanda. It's very emotional to see Bucky face his fears and a turning point for his character. The solider for Wakanda gives Bucky 8 hours to finish their mission before they come to get Zemo. So they have to find Karli before she disappears and it's too late. Of course, Zemo is able to get the information but he is not going to share all of it knowing that Bucky and Sam are going to turn him in. Sam enlists the trust of Sharon (who is very reminiscent of her role on Revenge with her low voice and connections everywhere).  Walker comes in hot wanting to take control of the situation. Sam of course wants to try and talk to Karli, trying to deesca...

  In this week's episode, titled 'Power Broker', Bucky takes the lead as he and Sam try to figure out how to take down the Flag Smashers. He knows that since they are not working the government resources they are going to have to be creative and think outside the box. Enter Zemo. If you don't remember him, he was in Captain America: Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War and he was the one that used to control Bucky. He is the one that added gasoline to the fire that ignited the war between Stark and Rogers because of Bucky. It is a little surprising that Bucky would want to try to bring in someone that created so much chaos.  But Zemo does produce. He is able to help the duo find a lead and help them get some information. More importantly, it leads to the second familiar face, Sharon Carter. She has been on the run for the past five years. While in the last episode, Sam was the one that was being ostracized, he learns that not everyone benefited from the Aveng...

In this week's episode, titled 'The Star-Spangled Man', John Walker is taking over for Steve Rogers as Captain America and is adjusting to what that role means for America. In the meantime, Sam is continuing to try and take down the Flag Smashers, now with Bucky in tow. But these Smashers are not typical human, but an army of super soldiers, something that Bucky is very familiar with. Walker tries to join in the fight, but Sam and Bucky want nothing to do with him.  Bucky is having a hard time seeing someone else yield the shield. Sam doesn't like it either, but he understand that he made a choice and he has to live with the consequences. Captain America, Walker, seems like he would fit the bill on the surface. He seems like a carbon copy of Steve Rogers, but it's not until we get towards the end of the show that we see a darker side of Walker.  We get to see more of the Flag Smashers in this show and see why they are doing what they are doing. In their opinion, the...

The next Marvel show is upon us. Sam Wilson, The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) are returning to their roles in this 6-episode season. The show is taking over the amazing start to the Marvel shows from WandaVision that exceeded fans expectations. The bar has been set high for this season and time will tell if they are able to meet that bar. At the beginning of the episode, Sam is struggling with the responsibility of holding the shield, still believing that he is not 'worthy'. He ends up donating it to the museum dedicated to Captain America. Obviously this is a short-term loan as we see him later on with the shield, so no need to get to worried.  The opening action sequence has Sam introducing a new character, Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez, On my Block ). Like with WandaVision you can tell that the graphics will not be on the level that we have seen in the movies. But considering that the budget is not as high as a movie, the show met...

It's no surprise that there would be a full trailer release for the next Marvel show hitting Disney+. The Falcon and Winter Soldier reunites two friends of Captain America, Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) are trying to take over for Cap's duties and it starts with an anarchist group, called the Flag-Smashers that is threatening America.  The trailer starts off with a woman talking to Falcon and Winter Soldier, trying to get them to communicate (looks like they are in therapy). Before we see them both in action. The fighting sequences look epic and even though this is going to be an episodic show, it won't feel like it. And considering how well WandaVision is doing, I am sure it will be amazing. Even though most of the focus is on Falcon and Winter Soldier, we do see some familiar faces. The first being Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) who has been on the run since Civil War. The other familiar face that we see Helmet ...

  Marvel has been in the headlines today not only releasing the schedule for their next phase, but also releasing first looks at some of their new shows. Today, they released a trailer for The Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, What if?, and Ms. Marvel. Hailee Steinfeld makes her first appearance as Kate Bishop in the first still released from Hawkeye.  Let's start at the top. The Falcon and Winter Soldier is probably one of the most anticipated shows coming to Disney+. It starts Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. They are taking over the role of Captain America (which makes sense because he does the work of two heroes)  The show is set to come out in March 2021. It is about time that Loki is the star of his own story. He is the villain that we all love and one that we all wish would win once in a while (if you need a reason why, watch the second Thor). It looks like Loki is going to be on the, dare I say, good side with this miniseries on Disney+. There is no release tim...
