Watching "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" can make the audience fully realize that for an average production team, no matter how large the creative space is, the story can be done mediocrely, just like a cook who is not good enough to cook a table of delicacies from mountains and seas. It was bland and tasteless.
As a fan of Marvel movies, I generally divide Marvel movies into the following categories: movies with excellent quality and classics in the hearts of fans, such as "Avengers I" and "Captain America II"; movies of average quality but successful protagonists Therefore, fans like it, such as "Thor I"; there is another kind of movie quality is not bad, but the old audience has a lot of opinions on the characterization, such as "Reunion III" and "Avengers IV". However, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" is none of the above three. It belongs to the average quality of the episode itself, and the characterization is even more of a crotch.
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" actually has a lot of creative space. When the project was announced, it and "Rocky" were the two dramas I was most looking forward to. The Winter Soldier's own contradictions are very attractive. He was trained, transformed, and brainwashed by Hydra, and used as a weapon for decades. His hands were covered in blood, but his eyes were so clean. After "Captain 3", Marvel has The story of the Winter Soldier has never been better told. I'm really looking forward to the lengthening of the show and how the Winter Soldier healed himself, especially after Steve left him too.
The other half of the show's name should naturally be the highlight. Falcon's character line in the movie is not clear, and the only label is "cap's fanboy", but he took over the shield, how should he use this shield? How do you prove that you are worthy of this shield? What did the Winter Soldier think of him inheriting the shield?
These Marvels have actually been discussed, but the level is very shallow, and it is simply scratching the surface. It stands to reason that the length of the six episodes is not short, but this drama has added a lot of characters and narrative lines, so that no part is well explained. I thought the show would focus on growing up and building a bond between Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but brought in a Walker as the new Captain America. I think Falcon didn't have confidence in inheriting the shield at first because it was reasonable to hand over the shield, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as Steve's comrades, how to get along with this new American team is also a more interesting point. When the "Flagbreakers" came out as standard villains, I was looking forward to the story between the three of them, but then this new American team didn't seem to have much sense of existence, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier selected Zemo Be a teammate.
Ignoring the oversimplification of Zemo's escape from prison, Zemo's performance in tracking Carly's main storyline is much brighter than Walker's. I think the relationship between Falcon, Winter Soldier and Zemo is more interesting. And Zemo's position of being both righteous and evil is also very interesting, worthy of the villain who provoked the split of the Avengers by one person.
So to sum up, this drama is really not in-depth in terms of characterization, it does not show the growth of the characters at all, and it cannot make the audience empathize. When it comes to growth and transformation, you can think of the moment Tony watched Ethan die for himself, the moment Thor lifted the hammer again, the moment Steve resolutely drove the plane into the glacier, but in this show, I I can't think of such a plot and picture that shapes the growth of the characters of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and this is my biggest dissatisfaction with this show. The creative space for the characters of the Winter Soldier and the Falcon can be said to be the foreshadowing of many movies. It came out, but the show was a complete waste.
There is also a problem with the plot. There are too many narrative lines, none of which is outstanding, and it is boring to watch. The story explains the background from the very beginning. Since half of the people disappeared five years ago, many people came to developed countries to maintain the operation of these countries. Now that the people who disappeared have come back, these people will be sent back to their origins, and "Broken Flag" ” came into being. In the case of suddenly doubling the number of people, what problems will occur and how to solve them? In fact, this is a very good starting point, but this drama has made a lot of mistakes. There is no further discussion on this issue, just for the sake of Bring out the villain in the play. In fact, this is a very real problem, and it can't be solved with a mouthful at the end.
At the beginning of the play, it is also explained that although Sam is a falcon, the family also has financial difficulties, and the loan cannot be approved. It seems that they want to say that superheroes can also be miserable, but on the way to track down the flag breakers, they bring Zemo, and Zemo is very rich! So the financial difficulties didn't affect him, after all, there are always rich teammates.
The question of background is not for a deeper discussion, but only to elicit the plot or avoid it. This is by no means a way to go deeper into the plot.
It is also worth complaining about the way the show is shaping the villain. Sometimes it is just a way of profiling to emphasize that the villain is not bad at heart, but is actually kind. A girl who has been hit with super soldier serum and killed people, just because she is young, can you believe that she is not bad at heart? This judgment is a bit hasty, isn't it? I never understood why Sam believed Carly so much. The thinness created by the villain is the reason for the masking, not because the villain is blindly bad, hope everyone knows.
More than halfway through the show, it may be that the director and screenwriter remembered that the show still has another task, which is to find a new successor for Team America. As a result, a new question was raised-whether black people can be the US team, and it's not easy to be able to squeeze so many problems in six episodes. Anyway, in the end, Sam still picked up the shield, took up the responsibility, and then slapped the ZF official again, and the problem was easily solved.
Did you see that, Falcon's character is so thin, the characters are blurred and the positioning is unclear, the Winter Soldier at least has a solid character in the previous movies, and as one of the successors of the next stage of the US team, I still feel that Falcon does not have great parts and classic scenes.
This is the biggest problem with this drama. The raw materials are all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but the result is the opposite of "Wanda Vision", but it is a bland meal, which tastes the same as chewing wax. If you don't watch it, you will feel almost mean. I wanted to catch a little of everything, but in the end I didn't catch anything. The story was not deep enough, and the main line of fighting monsters was not cool enough. It seemed that I wanted to follow the style of the spy war of "Captain America II". .
I won't say anything else. As far as my personal feelings are concerned, Bucky is my favorite character. I have always expected him to have a more important role and better performance in the MCU. I am also looking forward to the drama. , The character of the Winter Soldier is still valued, but I didn't expect the finished product to be of such quality, which should not be at the level of Marvel. If Marvel wants to have a bigger breakthrough, it must not be satisfied with this.
