It's less of a fish out of water story and more of a "barracuda in a goldfish tank" story. Bucky is seeing a therapist and trying to atone for past sins while living among normal folks who don't have indestructible robot arms. Sam is doing contract work for the United States government, taking on dangerous gigs that require big, expensive action. However, their individual scenes are compelling enough, especially for those already invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Because they never share any scenes in episode one, because this is a six-hour movie and not a TV series. And naturally, they're going to butt heads. Naturally, these two are going to be drawn together to battle a new threat, especially since Steve Rogers isn't around to deal with it.
Which is easier said than done when you're a formerly brainwashed Hydra assassin with a lot of red in your ledger, to borrow another Avenger's turn of phrase. Meanwhile, Cap's other BFF, the century-old super-soldier Bucky Barnes ( Sebastian Stan), AKA the Winter Soldier, is just trying to get by. Naturally, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier essentially opens with Sam refusing the call, donating the shield to the Smithsonian and walking away from the burden of wearing the stars and stripes. Political turmoil grips the globe, a violent conspiracy to do away with the borders of all nations is gaining traction, and Captain America is gone.Īs you may remember, Endgame concluded with Steve Rogers retiring from the gig, offering the vibranium shield to Sam Wilson ( Anthony Mackie), AKA the Falcon. Billions of people have been restored to existence thanks to Earth's mightiest heroes and while that was something to celebrate in a movie theater, it's a reality that must be grappled with in greater detail on the small screen. Taking place in the wake of Avengers: Endgame, the show finds the world in chaos.

Like WandaVision, the previous Disney+ series firmly entrenched in the ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has no mercy or compassion for those not caught up with the movies so far. The pieces are put in place so the story can fully kick off in, well, episode two. This episode is more of a taste than a full-on mission statement for what this series will be. When director Kari Skogland and showrunner Malcolm Spellman say this is a six-hour movie, they're not kidding around.
The first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier does not play like a traditional pilot.
