Falcon
and the Winter Soldier season one’s writing is one of best ever in the
super hero genre especially in tune with what’s going on divisively in the United
States. The theme culminating in bureaucratic nuance brought me back to a quote
from Michelle Obama who said in 2018, “the world’s most powerful people
‘aren’t that smart”. The script’s tackling of race and what our segregationist
history was capable of hits at a core of reconciliation this nation needs as we
face a wide range of misguided extremists. Though not touched upon directly in
the series, a clear comparison can be made with today’s Trumpian Sarah Panilish
alternate reality fooling too many of our people; a different version of which
has historically crept into our system of justice. Although a flawed policeman
in the rise of character U.S. Agent played adeptly by Wyatt Russell, seen in the photo above
disgracing America, taints his honor much like the small group of police
officers who continue to go unchecked in some cases. Falcon’s speech played by Anthony
Mackie at the end was an epic heart felt patriotic act of bravery and a ready
evident antidote for what most ails us. A hero daring us to reach out and help
people, letting their actions speak on the ground. “Make the call, send the
email”, such simplistic dialogue captures the essence of substance
masterfully.
The action was a bit unrealistic on some levels falling to a common plot line
mistake when heroes are isolated, despite dozens or even hundreds of agents
that would be there to help; unlike this past January on Capitol Hill which
caused five people to die because of corrupt motivated deception and outright
mendacity being BROADCAST to people in their homes by people in suits. Who will
stand up on broadcast tv and call them out? No ones reporting what they say
that deceives Americans enough; one exception being the recent Arizona false
flag vote “counting” by so called “cyber ninjas”; the result of which has not
yet been seen but with a potential to subvert democracy even as other contests
won by republicans like in Kentucky continue to go unaudited regardless of the
top federal cybersecurity official who resigned Christopher Krebs’s unexamined assertions that paper trails
existed.
Will the real Captain America please stand up? Here’s hoping Captain Marvel
also comes back strong making use of her cosmic power with brains brawn and
words and, while we’re at it can Mandalorian Director Jon
Favreau be involved in everything.
