I must say I have not really been much of a fan of the military aspects of the MCU - But 2022 is just around the corner, and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye is about to complete its first season. Thus wrapping up the Disney+ aspect of the MCU Phase 4 slate for 2021. And so far, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the best and most meaningful offering from Phase 4 of the MCU at the time of this writing.

The show puts in the work and does a lot very well. It is profound and emotional on many levels as it tries to tackle both real problems, as well as MCU problems resulting from many years of storytelling which culminated the infinity saga in Endgame. Although it does not tackle all these problems perfectly, it does more than enough to tell a well-rounded story. A story where events occur within a coherent plot that carries forward both the MCU and the characters in the show in a genuine and meaningful way. This all allowed for real character growth as well as a richer universe which made an unexpected fourth Captain America movie with Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as 'Cap' a reality. Not to mention Sam and Bucky are great frenemies.

Overall, it's superb and a must watch for phase 4. Binge-watch it.
