"That series where Falcon becomes Captain America" is the way I feel this will be remembered as, nothing more.

Like one of those prelude comics that no one reads or thinks back to (a Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-in comic), it is underwritten, bland and even confusing at times (as to objectives, weight of actions and importance in scale). Put together to hype something that will come later.. With weak villains and plot. At it's worst, it has predictable turns and events (specially for anyone experienced in story-telling and even more so for Comic book fans)... Almost everything that happens I saw coming, and I'm no genius.

That aside, it has some very good action scenes, good character interactions (Falcon and Bucky more than anything) and character "arc".

I specially liked the final "speech" and the way the character of "Isaiah Bradley" was addressed.

As a whole, it helps pass the time.. but in no way feels like part of the "big" MCU, but more like an upgraded Agents of Shield. Better than the underwhelming Scarlet Witch show I already forgot about.. that's for sure.
