Falcon and the Winter Soldier
I’m still thinking about Captain America: Brave New World and why it felt so strange to me. It was meant to be an espionage thriller (spoilers follow) in the vein of The Winter Soldier, and yet there was no real conspiracy (no traitors, just a guy randomly mind-controlling people) and a twist that was given away in the first trailer (Ross turning into Red Hulk in the Rose Garden).
Despite some decent action and Anthony Mackie doing pretty well, this didn’t feel like the film it was supposed to be. In fact, it felt like a worse version of something we’d already seen: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
The Disney Plus series was the last…
