This is my attempt at rewriting the given text:

When I heard that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be scaled down to television and other personal screens for streaming, I feared that it would result in mind-numbingly intricate character development, nonsensical political struggles, and TV filler. However, the issue is not merely the endless talk and walking scenes that delay the confrontations between superheroes and villains, but also the repetitive arguments that replay across several episodes. Watching Sam and Bucky fixing a boat, Sam applying for a bank loan, or Bucky talking in circles with a shrink isn't what I wanted. Additionally, the post-blip politics of a war on terror over national borders or whatever seems to be inconsequential. Furthermore, Sam's speech at the end is atrociously artificial and engineered by Disney executives to rally the common people. The generic fanaticism of the Flag Smashers was even worse.

Despite being released theatrically, the MCU has been a serial with over 20 episodic series on bigger screens and with bigger budgets. It's not necessarily a bad thing, considering that the first comic-book superhero movies were serials released in theaters like "Adventures of Captain Marvel" (1941) and the Fleischer Studios "Superman" (1941 and thereafter) cartoon series. Even the Superman and Batman feature-length blockbusters became part of multi-film franchises in the 1970s and 1980s. If the series were split into two or three theatrically-released movies, it would have been better than six episodes released one per week, seemingly just enough time for us to forget the last episode was the same thing. In that spirit, it's the worst MCU episode since "The Incredible Hulk" (2008).

"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" is even more disappointing because it comes after the cleverly-reflexive "WandaVision" (2021), which understands and exploits its medium instead of suffering from it. "WandaVision" is a TV series about the magic of creating them, and even Wanda's grief-stricken retreat into nostalgia works better on the level of character interest. It ingeniously ended with shapeshifting in an empty theatre. In contrast, we're supposed to get excited by a cameo from an actress who reminds us of a better TV series. The acting was bland, the story tried to add too many characters that we were supposed to care about, and it had convoluted storylines with tons of plot holes and unanswered questions.

Moreover, racial politics are littered throughout the show, often in ways that are preachy and puzzling. In one episode, Bucky takes Sam to meet Isaiah Bradley, a Super Soldier used by the US government during Vietnam to track down the Winter Soldier. Bradley was badly mistreated by the government following his service and is unwilling to help. After they leave, the cops pull up and start harassing Sam (somehow not recognizing the famous Avenger). The heavy-handed politics keep coming, unfortunately. The idea that Sam was passed over for the job of Captain America and it was given to a white dude who is clearly the World's Greatest Monster for taking the job permeates the show. By the end, when Sam decides to take the mantle of Captain America for himself, it's driven home over and over again that he's black and that this is somehow a Very Big Deal. This despite the numerous black superheroes that nobody has a problem with. If the discussion of race was left out of the equation entirely, nobody would bat an eye. We were already expecting Sam to become Captain America after Endgame, and nobody cared one way or another.

After Sam beats the Flag Smashers and saves the GRC members with his super suit, he lays into the senators and global representatives, telling them.
