Part of me can understand a lot of the low scoring reviews of this ep. But for me, it was among the strongest content Marvel has put out.
No, its not action heavy. No, its not superhero heavy. No, it isn't pure entertainment... It's something far subtler, and more pure.
To call it a 'woke' episode, is wrong. The messages it sends are not forced, its kinda realistic. But because its an emotion heavy ep, it's sad that it'll probably go unnoticed.
This ep has more heart than nearly all of the other MCU movies and episodes combined.
I already thought the Falcon and Bucky were awesome. Now I legitimately think they the strongest duo in the MCU. And this episode demonstrated it naturally and realistically.
Slow episode, yes. But its what Marvel has been totally missing for a long time now. To take a step back and just put some emotional investment into its characters is sadly rare. But here, it shines.
