Falcon and the winter soldier (E2)
Disney+Hotstar
*ing: Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Erin Kellyman
Rated: 6.5/10
Disney+ dropped the second episode on Friday, March 26, 2021. The fans who were waiting for it with bated breath will not be disappointed with this one. The first episode was only a teaser of what will follow in the coming episodes. While there was not much of Bucky in the prequel, here he is very much in your face — jumping from an aircraft 200 feet in the air with no parachute and no broken bones or even scratch — is just one of the few things that he does while one sits and goes on a ride with the Falcon and him as a team.
Winter Soldier does what he does best, brooding — Falcon gave away Captain America’s shield — and staring.
Then there is Captain America. His struggle to step into the shoes of Steve Rogers is evident. One empathises with John Walker’s (played by Wyatt Russell) predicament of being the new Captain America. Even if the fans may not want to see a new Captain America.
The stunts are off the charts. The scene where Captain America, Winter Soldier and Falcon come together in a fight against an anti-patriotism group the Flag Smashers is amazing even if our heroes lose this round. It goes without saying that they will go back to fight another day.
Given that there are more than one super soldiers running, episode three promises to bring in more action.
