Anything can be taken apart and left in pieces, that will not look enticing for anyone. Going into this with no knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... I am not sure how this will work out. Going into this with not the biggest knowledge of the comic and its character history but being up to date with the movie world they created ... I know a little bit about that.

So this follows what happened after Endgame - I'm assuming you know that or at least have read up on it. Or do not care really - but I will go from there and reference what happened at the end of that specific movie. At least in connection with this tv show. As you can see I take no spoilers really to an extreme and I care about people not getting more information than they bargained for ... talking about getting more than one is bargained for: That is true for the Falcon (not Black Falcon, racial issues will play a role here and I salute Marvel for tackling issues head on and with such grace, style and competence) ... who got the Shield from Captain America, but for some reason does not seem to want to keep it ... we will learn why ... and it is not something to be taken lightly either.

It is also something that he can't just blur out when he sees Bucky ... who is quite mad that the Falcon seems to go against the will of the ... now Ex-Cap. So while the Falcon retires the Shield, the question is if the Shield is ready to retire? Or rather the goverment - are they ready? And this is the first of 6 episodes. A great mini series that will bring a few characters besides the two in the title.

And the cool thing is they get mostly introduced at the end of each episode (true for Episodes 1-3 ... I guess you could say there is a character reveal at the end of episode 4). There are so many goodies in this show ... and some during the credits. Which as with Wandavision only get into play for Episodes 5 and 6. But in contrast to Wandavision the final episode only has one mid credit scene. But one that lays seeds for future storylines ... not a suprising one, but still a goodie too.

It's not easy to stay ahead of people spoiling things, but you can do it. Just try to watch the shows and movies as they come along. Good action, good acting and some surprise fan favorite moments (dancing? Ok, why not) ...
