Finally got around to watching “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” and it would have been so much better if Isaiah Bradley’s story had been the first episode, or a stand-alone movie. Instead it’s just told in exposition. If you go read his backstory, it is a pillar of the F&WS plot. Disappointing that an interesting chapter of this universe is confusingly meted out in bits and pieces across episodes. Here’s hoping his “prequel” eventually gets told.

As an aside — am I really supposed to believe Falcon doesn’t get paid the big bucks and can’t afford to pay to fix up his sister’s boat?

    The show had a lot of potential, and some good ideas. It’s just too bad the execution didn’t work out, but I think I heard part of it could be because of the pandemic.

      I agree, and I do understand some things are beyond control. But the Captain America franchise is the one that didn’t have any stinkers yet, and I can’t help but feel like FatWS was a harbinger of bad things to come.
