The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 1x05 Reaction!
Added 2021-04-16 19:00:28 +0000 UTCWhat's up, homies. Welcome back to our weekly recap of TFATWS -- the penultimate episode of the series. Things really heated up last week in those final moments with John Walker, and we're excited to see where it goes next.
Note: We did lose part of our recording during the Marvel Studios logo intro (idk), but it should resync after that. Also, for those asking about putting the blurred versions in the uncut - it's all dependent on when we get access to the episode versus when the episodes are actually rendered. We've been able to do it in the past, but we won't always be able to add it in due to timing.

I feel like we won’t learn who the power broker is till the very end or in a post credit & it will be a set up for a new Cap movie. Also possibly a post credit scene or a regular scene of Isaiah getting discovered and something will happen that will make him give Eli his blood in order to survive or something making him patriot . But as always never know with marvel 😂 love hearing the theories tho!

2021-04-19 22:51:23 +0000 UTCFeel like you guys may be a little too dismissive of Walker. What he said in the courtroom scene is the truth. He represents a lot of veterans in this country. Trained by their government to become a weapon and then dropped as soon as they have outlived their usefulness. He needs help, not to be publicly humiliated, stripped of everything that meant something to him and then tossed aside. No wonder he would look to someone else in such a time of vulnerability. Not only is this show doing a great job of portraying race in America and how that reflects on its heroes, it’s raising questions about its military as well. I know it’s disturbing how many pro-Walker takes we’ve seen out there, but he’s cleary tapping in to something in this country that resonates with people. And once the light has shined on his inability to cope with the pressure of the Cap title, the government wiped its hands and throws it all on him. He’s ripe for radicalization

2021-04-18 03:04:55 +0000 UTCLove the reactions & review as always you guys. May i say, FATWS exceeded my expectation. All i'm hoping for was Sam-Bucky buddy cop action series, this is way beyond and furthermore setting up so many things in the future. Malcolm & Kari did such a great job on making this show so alive and interesting. Also, i think the scene with Isaiah is really powerful not just coz of Carl but also Mackie. U see the shift in Sam's eyes when Isaiah said, people dont want black man to take up the shield nor do self-respecting black man would take on the shield. That look on Sam's eyes just show how Sam's finally made up his mind to take on the shield. To proof Isaiah wrong, yet also to proof that this legacy should not be connected to race, that it could be better. And the push that Sarah gave in the end as well, made that decision solid for Sam. Sam-Bucky fixing the boat is just everything i need in MCU. What do superheroes do in their down time? Well, here it is. Mackie & Seb chemistry is so off-the-chart! <3 Can't wait for last ep, cant wait for the suit! OMG!!!

2021-04-17 07:04:03 +0000 UTCi think we either don't find out who power broker is or we do at the very end and it's revealed to be arnim zola like people are theorizing as his robot form (in some capacity) but i think it doesn't really have too much to actually do with sam or winter solider BUT maybe possibly could tie winter soldier into this as well. okay so that's the first part of the theory. the 2nd part is that i think this is very heavily setting up The Thunderbolts. i think at the end John Walker is captured and ALSO taken to The Raft where Zemo is going which is controlled by Thunderbolt Ross. Abomination is also there. and i think this is setting up a Thunderbolts movie. And here is sorta how i think that movie goes. I think Agent 13 is working for Thunderbolt Ross undercover. i think she's keeping track of Power Broker because he has suspicions about them. Then he realizes the threat he has with Zola and forms his Thunderbolts team that consists of: • Zemo as the leader • John Walker • Abomination • Taskmaster • Maybe Ghost from Ant Man 2 • Yelena Belova AKA The New Black Widow (Thunderbolt Ross is actually in Black Widow so this could make sense) • Batroc The Leaper • Maybe Justin Hammer in some capacity • Agent 13 as like the right hand person to Thunderbolt Ross obviously not all of them have to be in it but those are the most likely choices with ALSO possibly Winter Soldier since he is kind of connected to Zola. forgive the horrible sentence structure. just had to get this out! lol

2021-04-17 02:30:05 +0000 UTCThese shows make me want X-Men stories in this series format as opposed to films. The biggest issue I had with all the Fox mutant based movies is that they tried to cram multi-issue story arcs into a single 2 hour film and more often than not fell short. They are clearly able to better handle character development and tackle more socially relevant themes the X-Men stories always tackled with this longer format.

2021-04-17 01:58:54 +0000 UTCWhat a powerhouse episode, so emotional. Isaiah breaks my effing heart in an amazing performance. How are we going to process all that has to happen in next week's finale episode?? I'd think it would have to run over 90 minutes just to tie up half of these loose ends and character arcs -- even if they intend a feature or another TV season to follow it up. Great reaction video, guys. Watching your reactions to these moments is 100-proof goodness! So glad I joined up on your Patreon, so worth it!

2021-04-17 00:34:43 +0000 UTCMy expectation level for the finale has climbed dramatically. Marvel has GOT to stick the landing on this.

2021-04-17 00:24:35 +0000 UTCI am very excited for Sam to become Captain America. John Walker has sullied the title. Steve Rogers, as played by Chris Evans, brought that character to such a beautiful place. I could say without hesitation that I was a fan of Captain America. But John Walker now makes me have to qualify that statement. John Walker is not "Cap". We shouldn't be calling him that. The title of Captain America deserves better and I can't wait for Sam Wilson to rehabilitate that title again.

2021-04-17 00:06:30 +0000 UTCI would love for Sam to end the series like Tony did Iron Man 1..."I am Captain America" complete with his new suit.

2021-04-16 22:58:25 +0000 UTCFor anyone who isn’t a fan of UFC/mma fighting. The actor who plays Batrock the Leaper is Georges St. Pierre, who is considered by many to be the best UFC fighter ever. It’s actually him doing all those kicks and punches. He’s also French Canadian so it fits in perfectly for the character
