He sees how hard up theyвЂ™ve become in the five years he was away, but despite his star status, he canвЂ™t help secure a bank loan. A super-mortgage?Дown in Louisiana, Sam is reunited with his sister and nephew, where he wants to right some wrongs of his own. It could be nothing, but it did hit me that, like the maneki-neko, Bucky, too, only has one purpose вЂ“ fighting вЂ“ and canвЂ™t do anything else. I was intrigued by the significance of the lucky cat Bucky momentarily stops from rocking. ItвЂ™s all enough to put the 106-year-old man off his date. But wait! Conveniently, the only other Asian man weвЂ™ve seen on screen, the executed student, is Mr NakajimaвЂ™s dead child, and thatвЂ™s why heвЂ™s been living nearby. One friend he does have is an elderly neighbour, Mr Nakajima, who puts aside mourning his son long enough to play matchmaker with the woman from the restaurant.

He wakes in time to bluff his way through a counselling session вЂ“ hello there, Lt Grace Billetts from Bosch (Amy Aquino) вЂ“ and reveal how heвЂ™s been spending his time, making amends for his past sins and ignoring SamвЂ™s messages. This flashback sees him slay at least half a dozen henchmen and one innocent student in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Our other eponymous hero is living in New York and having recurring nightmares about his time as HydraвЂ™s most deadly assassin. And the Winter SoldierД«ucky Barnes in a rare moment of relaxation. I couldnвЂ™t hear what he said in return, IвЂ™m afraid, I was deafened by all the foreshadowing. He tells Wilson he should be taking the Captain America mantle for himself. ThereвЂ™s room for a quick Avengers cameo, with Rhodey (Don Cheadle) there for a quick chat. Torres, though, only has one question from the conspiracy theories heвЂ™s been reading вЂ“ does Steve Rogers live in a secret base on the moon?ДЄnd then to Washington, where Wilson surrenders CapвЂ™s shield for display in a museum. All this, and only 10 minutes in.Д«ack on the ground, over tea in a Tunisian market, Torres introduces Wilson to the Flag Smashers, a new bunch of terrorists who believe life was better during the five-year Blip and want to see an end to international borders. ItвЂ™s exhilarating, and 1st Lt Torres (JoaquГn Torres, by any chance?) watching from the ground below acts for all of us when he begins punching the air with excitement. Wilson and his helpful little drone, Redwing, follow five baddies, now wearing wing suits, out of their plane and chase them at high speed through rocky ravines and trenches, blowing up a few helicopters while doing so. Among them, Batroc the Leaper, played by former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre (last seen narrowly escaping the Lemurian Star after a beating from Steve Rogers in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. What follows is possibly only Michael BayвЂ™s idea of subtle, as Falcon takes on the bad guys. вЂњThis has to be subtle,вЂќ Wilson is warned by a nameless camouflaged officer. TheyвЂ™re a criminal organisation with vague intent who have kidnapped a military liaison and are trying to get from Tunisia to the safety of the Libyan border, where the US military wonвЂ™t be able to intervene.

Now aboard a US air force plane in full Falcon gear, heвЂ™s being briefed on LAF. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) was among those who vanished, but heвЂ™s back, looking sad and packing up Captain AmericaвЂ™s shield, with Steve RogersвЂ™ words from Endgame about the shield now being his ringing in his ears. It opens four months after the events of Avengers: Endgame вЂ“ four months after billions of people reappeared from the dust after five years away. Here, in the first episode alone, the actions flits between Tunisia, Washington, Louisiana, Switzerland, Japan and New York. In one, characters couldnвЂ™t leave a small town.

Nevertheless, TFATWS, is much more familiar in tone, and the contrast between this series and WandaVision could not be more marked.

WandaVision, so surreal, fantastical and high-concept, was, theoretically, a bigger ask for the casual Marvel fan (although after 22 box office-busting films and one ratings smash TV series, how many casual Marvel fans there are remains open for debate). Originally, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, or TFATWS as weвЂ™ll call it from here on in, was supposed to appear on Disney+ before WandaVision, and itвЂ™s immediately clear why. On the other, the raising of that bar brings its own pressures. On one hand, fears over how the MCU would translate to the small screen have been well and truly allayed вЂ“ weвЂ™re most definitely not in Iron Fist territory. G iven the universal praise for WandaVision, the first small screen outing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, itвЂ™s hard to know whether that makes things more or less difficult for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
