The Falcon and the winter solider
4/10?
It turns out that WandaVision's extraordinary performance has given the audience a brand-new improvement and high expectations for Marvel Pictures' storytelling ability. It is still just a Vision.
The many social topics introduced at the beginning of the series made me look forward to thinking that Marvel is finally about to talk about serious social issues. As a result, by the end of the series, a series of foreshadowings were made by the protagonist’s primary school student’s speech and the family’s favorite chicken soup. Can't get rid of it.
Flag Smashers: I talked about a very good mapping of the real social problems of immigrants. The final solution is that the protagonist faces the barrel of Karli and does not resist and wait to die. After Karli died, he opened an environmentally friendly girl-like speech that was not very convincing, and finally the Flag Smashers group ended. The efforts of countless people came to an abrupt end, and the protagonist duo couldn't see how much they played a part in it.
GRC: It maps to the hegemony of the United States. American politicians and soldiers can exert hegemony in other countries of the world, and through public opinion, the rebels can be discredited as Terrorists. The final solution? I thought it was a big challenge to the political situation. In fact, it was the American devils who did superficial effort in a sanctimonious manner. A few words of "reform" ended all the efforts of the protagonist team. I thought it was an in-depth social dismantling, but in fact it just continued to show off the hegemony of American world public opinion. By the way, I brought a few words to make the audience mistakenly believe that this is different from other American worldview propaganda dramas.
Black: It is estimated that in order to let the fans of the world accept the black beauty team, I just inserted a huge amount of space to show the black power of the United States. Of course, classically, blacks in American dramas are portrayed as positive images of suffering and torture, upholding justice, and upholding equality. What is it actually like? Needless to say here. The multiple conversations between Isaiah and Flacon, with all due respect, may not have any resonance with the majority of groups outside of black Americans. The lengthy chicken soup-style dialogue is unnutritive, and the plot advancement is minimal. The United States has taken great pains to lick the black audience and export the positive image of black Americans to the world.
Let's talk about role modeling.
The biggest problem with this show is that the 6 episodes are close to 6 hours of story volume, and there is almost no change in the personality of the two protagonists. WandaVision's wonderful 8 episodes made Wanda step by step from a distressed lover to Scarlet Witch. Without WandaVision, there would be no Scarlet Witch. This drama is indispensable for the promotion of the overall image of the witch. And what about the Falcon Winter Soldier? If your Marvel movie is over until the end of Avengers 4, then if you tell you that the Falcon is now Captain America and the Winter Soldier has become an American agent, I think you will say: "I know, it's not like that at the end of Avengers 4. ?"
These two characters took 6 episodes, and there is almost no change in the personality. So what is the super long play space of these 6 episodes?
If you insist, the images of Walker and Zemo created by the screenwriter inadvertently are more worthy of taste.
1. John Walker: The image of a flesh and blood American soldier. Have a sense of mission, a sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility, and a commitment and protection to comrades-in-arms. Even though he was betrayed by the government, he still completed his mission alone and shouted out Karli's sense of justice. Captain America is no longer the perfect person depicted in the movie, but a soldier with emotion, loyalty and infinite courage. This is the Captain America in my heart. Obviously, the main creative team's modeling of Walker is too flat, which is also the classic way of describing villains in Marvel's works. If Walker is made more neutral, this role will be the biggest surprise of the show. However, the creator used most of the space to write about the inexplicable trivia and bickering of the two protagonists, and the description of Walker seemed very stingy.
2. Zemo: It was supposed to be a villain who was able to strategize. In this drama, he has become a seemingly overall overall plan, but in fact a flat character who only has an infinite reminiscence of his hometown, an anti-superhero, and a good talker. . The scene where the baron waited for his death at the Solkovia monument completely shattered the audience's illusion of his three-dimensionality in an instant. In order to appease the disappointment of the fans, the screenwriter finally hinted Zemo's behind-the-scenes action with a sentence, but at this time it inevitably seemed too deliberate.
In the end, the performance of the Winter Soldier actors in my opinion greatly reduced the look and feel of the show. Brother, you are no longer the Winter Soldier, why do you still have the same serious face to everyone? The transformation of Wakanda still did not change the inherent image of the Winter Soldier: reticent, serious, good at fighting, and not good at socializing. It can be seen that the screenwriter intends to expand the future development direction for the Winter Soldier, but the performance of the actor still adheres to the dignity of the Winter Soldier. On "White Wolf", the super soldier is still far greater than humanity.
The summary is that the content of the US military's value output is lacklustre, the fighting scene is too small, the plot is unfinished, the character is broken, and the high-expectation vision of the Marvel TV series is crushed.
Thinking of it, one of the most commendable points is that Disney+'s support for airpods spatial audio is really amazing. When using ipad to watch, every time I move, I mistakenly think that there is no earphones on the outside. The stereo sound of spatial audio is very satisfying. Optimistic about the future development of Disney+. (Netflix, can you support spatial audio with dim sum on Netflix!)
