Marvel and its Cinematic Universe are trying out new formats - serial. The decision is still, in my opinion, ambiguous, but it was and is. And even if the first series "Wanda / Vision" proved to be worthy, then the "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" that followed clearly did not live up to expectations.

We need to start with the fact that the minor characters of the previous projects about the Avengers and Captain America, having received the main roles in the new series, as if they were not ready to take these roles on themselves. It seems that the scriptwriters were not ready either, who plunged a couple of cronies into a changed world after the departure of the old heroes and society returning to normal after the Hulk's reverse click. However, it can be seen with the naked eye that the creators did not even try to work out this presented new world, showing how people could really live in it. Well, there is no elaboration of the world in the series, it appears to be some kind of cardboard.

A frankly weak plot does not attract the viewer's attention. It's a little weak for a spy thriller. Attempts to uncover the seemingly important problems of racial discrimination for American society look vague. The creators show how Wilson faces this problem, which existed in the past when there was another super soldier. But he was black-skinned, which means, according to the writers, he was not worthy of becoming the new face of America, as Rogers once was. However, I want to note that Carl Lambley's performance as a black super soldier of the past is worthy of attention. His dialogue with the Falcon makes you feel the very problem of inequality. A worthy moment of the series.

Baron Zemo is supposedly not Zemo at all, but his clone. There is no trace of the dangerous villain from the "Confrontation". And this is the problem of the series. The creators are sometimes ready to completely change the vector of the hero's development in favor of an easy and even comedic representation of the characters on the screen.

The main antagonist, played by the pretty Erin Kelliman, does not inspire confidence. A young girl leads an army ready to fight for her ideas. No. I have no complaints about gender and age. I just generally don't believe in such a development of the plot because of the behavior of this girl. There is no core in it, and therefore people can hardly follow it.

The whole conflict should be built on the idea that they are voiced somewhere in the middle of the series. Bruce Banner's reverse click brought back half of the planet's population. And life became unbearable. It's a great story to really reveal. There have been no missing people for five years. Those who stayed survived a terrible loss, learned to live without relatives, started other families, started a new life. And the sudden return confused all the cards. Here the scriptwriters would like to walk around, show a couple of examples how it can be. But they don't, concentrating on something else. Sadly.

The project clearly loses in originality to the previous Marvel pictures. The current agenda for the American society is submitted, as for me, inarticulately. Various kinds of inequalities, problems of the poor and the rich. All this is there, but the attempt to show the work with these difficulties was not very convincing. Again, Marvel fans should take into account that the topics raised should not only be qualitatively disclosed, but also understandable outside the States. In the modern world of technology, these problems will not be news to people who have access to the Internet and, at least a little, represent various movements for the rights of certain people in North America. But the approach to the implementation of the original idea turned out to be weak.

The series has become a regular passing project for me. Yes. He's not bad, watchable, but no more. We are used to seeing Marvel's much better work.
