Wow! This is the complete opposite of WandaVision.
Its back to cookie-cutter Marvel style (which I'm ok with tbh) but somehow not exciting at all. The Action was boring and poorly shot. But that's not the main issue for me. My main issue is Falcon.
Falcon is complete and utter D**che bag. He kills more people in the first 5 mintues of the first episode then Bucky does in his whole career as the winter solider.... then not to mention this bizarre and random racial tension plot where Falcon seems to vehemently despise white people....?
For instance he gets disproportionately upset when the one guy makes a suggestion about modifying his drone.... I thought that was weird, but ok.
The main thing that did it for me was the "I know how White Folk work" bit.... It sounds like a racist southern man from the 1800's but reversed. I just felt such division during that statement and the following scene where he goes to the bank.... He gets declined because no financial history for 5 years (makes sense) but seems to imply its because he's African American and their special victims in refrence to the blip - but - - but- - EVERYONE disappeared equally. No specific race or religion was discriminated against when Thanos SNAPPED..... so why is he specifically a victim more then anyone else?
Then he got mad after the banker tried to take pictures with him AFTER he bragged and patronized the white guy about being Falcon... HE was the one who tried to milk HIS privilege to get financial gain. I'm just so confused on who thought this was a good plot or writing.
On top of that Falcon has this oppressively power trip where he wont let his Sara sell the boat, when he left the family business long ago, and was gone for 5 years after that...
So - Falcon hates anyone whose not a POC & he's a raging misogynist & Egomaniac. All that and he's not even that big of a deal as far as hero's and the MCU goes He has to be the most dividing and un-unifying hero I've ever seen in the MCU. Capitan America was never concerned over someone's skin color nor ever mentioned race??
