I wonder what they are considering a year/season? I know the Star Wars series The Mandalorian will launch Disney+ in November. But they offered no dates for any other show (that I can recall). So does Year One mean Fall/Winter 2019 or Spring 2020 like TV Seasons? Or does Year One mean November 2019 - October 2020? I know they've already announced a Diego Luna Star Wars Spy series for 2021 so they have long term plans. 1 Link to comment
Valerie April 14, 2019 Share April 14, 2019 I'm honestly going to sub to Disney+ just for these Marvel shows. I don't pay for my Netflix account (I use my mom's) so I can fork out the monthly fee to keep myself happy. 2 Link to comment
festivus April 14, 2019 Share April 14, 2019 Oh those wily fuckers will be getting my money for sure. If it was just Loki and the VisionWitch show I probably could have resisted but Sam and Bucky are two of my favorite characters. They haven't really gotten their due in the movies to my satisfaction so I'm really looking forward to this one. Glad it will be in Year One. 5 Link to comment
Danny Franks April 19, 2019 Share April 19, 2019 If Marvel follow the example of the Winter Soldier and Black Widow comic book (without Black Widow, sadly) then I could be really into this show - A 70s style, espionage thriller, with them trying to get to the bottom of conspiracies around the Soviet programme that created the Winter Soldier. But as Bucky is my favourite Marvel character, whatever format they go for should be something I'll want to watch. I like Anthony Mackie, and I liked the friendship that grew between Bucky and Falcon in the comics. And now that Marvel/Disney own the X-Men, I will be holding out for an X-Factor Investigations show too. 1 Link to comment
Dandesun May 21, 2019 Share May 21, 2019 Zemo could make for a very interesting recurring villain... or even the villain storyline for the mini. Bucky, Sam and Sharon were all in the movie that actually dealt with him. I'm interested. 3 Link to comment

He can definitely run faster than a normal person, going off the chase scene in Civil War. Hydra used some knock off version of the supersoldier serum on him, which may have given him a lesser version of Steve's abilities. But he's got the metal (vibranium, now) arm which gives him a greater strength advantage. Link to comment

TrininisaScorp July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 I LOVE the idea of the buddy cop nature of FalconCap and TWS, but I think there is enough meat in both of their stories to be separate. I also think Seb Stan can have chemistry with broomsticks, but I would like to keep him away from Sharon. They really f'ed up the Sharon character, and I'm not a huge EVC fan (though, I loved her back in the day in Everwood). Look, expectations are high when you aunt is freaking Peggy Carter, and Sharon was soooo boring. Plus, I had my heart set on having a retcon of the White Wolf storyline and keep Buck in Wakanda. That small post-credit of Shuri and Buck chatting had ppl (read: me and some of twitter) feeling it (yes, I know canon Shuri is young, but MCU Shuri is grown). That said, damn them. Take my money. Between this and Loki, they got me. Link to comment

If she wouldn't have been snapped then she would be in her early 20s now but she was so she's still a teenager. I'm not really sure how old we're supposed to consider Bucky to be, what with all the cryo freezing and the fact that he was snapped for those 5 years but I can't see him as being less than 30.

I have been absolutely loving the weirdness of WandaVision from jump when we started getting the first teasers of it. I was all in on Falcon and Winter Soldier because... yes! Sam and Bucky! Woo! But WandaVision grabbed me and I love the way it's developed. I'm not expecting weird in FatWS. Even though I would die of happiness if Sam developed the ability to talk to birds I know this is not remotely likely to happen. Alas. And I have my own personal feelings about Cap's ending to deal with, too. So, yeah... but Zemo and the idea of a legacy of Cap does spark interest and how the two guys closest to him deal with that legacy as well. I do want a deeper dive into Sam, though. I really hope we get that. He deserves it. 3 Link to comment

It's going to be a more straightforward, action/espionage show, and that's fine. One of the best things about comic books as a genre is that there's a book for everyone's taste - dumb action, gory violence, comedy, scantily clad characters of dubious anatomy, cleverly written. I think that's what Marvel are going for with these MCU shows. Which is good, because as compelling as WandaVision is, I don't really want to watch a whole raft of shows that are trying to break the mould in different ways. The writing and content of this show will definitely be less original, but good dialogue and tight plotting should still be on the cards. However, if we end up with something that feels cheap and low rent, like Agents of SHIELD, I will be disappointed. 6 Link to comment

They wanted the safe choice first. WandaVision was a huge risk. COVID really saved them. People had to give WandaVision a chance, because there are so many less entertainment options now. I DO wonder if Loki was scheduled when it was to act as a counterpoint out the back side though. I have zero doubt its going to be ambitious and weird. Ultimately Falcon and Winter Soldier is not just the buddy action comedy, it's also character development. If they hadn't already rooted around in Bucky's past so much, we might have had more of that. I'm STILL hoping Marvel is brave enough to truly tell the story with the approach implied by Sam's Comic book Captain America arc. The problem is this was produced before the real world events of last summer and their motives to look in that direction were less before that. The actual comics were inspired by Ferguson, Missouri and stuff around the time of 2014 (they came out about a year later). I'm waiting to see if Disney actually had the balls to do this, basically PRE-BLM marches. 2 Link to comment

I don't think WandaVision was. The old sitcom has been done before. It hasn't been as many eps but a few shows has done it. And the rest was predictable. Spoiler Most of us figured out pretty early that Kathryn Hahn was the bad guy and that Hayward was up to no good. The only new thing we learned in Wanda's backstory was that she liked/watched old sitcoms with her family. Vision's fight against white Vision has been done so many times. I watch shows to be entertained. I watch likable and/or good actors. I love an interesting/charismatic actor or dynamic. Elizabeth Olsen was very good. Kat Denning is interesting but I think Falcon and Winter Soldier is going to be full of interesting/charismatic actors and the chemistry between Sam and Bucky should be great. I hope the show is going to be more like the movies because that is the Marvel that I like. Edited March 5, 2021 by saoirse Spoiler tag added 1 Link to comment

Featherhat March 6, 2021 Share March 6, 2021 (edited) I'm looking forward to this, I'm definitely interested in getting to know more about Sam as I've loved him since his exasperation with "On your left". He and Bucky dealing with the legacy of Cap as a person and a symbol and learning to deal with each other should be great. It will be more traditional MCU and more traditional political/action/identity thriller than WandaVision (which I absolutely adored) but that's okay, there's room for a lot of different projects with "everyone gets a D+ Series". The one thing I'm slightly weary of is the potential retconning of a couple of my favourite MCU secondary characters if rumours are anything to go by, but I'll just wait and see.

Abra March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 (edited) Before we started seeing TV spots about the show, I used to be worried that Anthony and Sebastian had been given too much rein to act like themselves instead of their characters (improv, or being given leave to "flesh out" their characters); I was concerned it would be the MackieStan show instead of Sam and Bucky the characters. Now the more we're seeing I'm really getting the sense it's going to be the Sam and Sebastian show, and I'm not really here for it. Sebastian I think does really well when he's given a character with a strong personality to play; otherwise we end up seeing a lot of his personal ticks. Bucky basically had no personality the last few movies, and now that they have 6 hours to fill it looks to me like they gave him too much rein. I really hope I'm wrong, but I don't want to see jaw-and-mouth acting and fake pouty-faced squinting the whole time.

In all fairness, Bucky has had neither much personality nor agency up until now, and not even that much dialogue. The most personhood he displayed was in The First Avenger, but as viewers we really don't know who Bucky is or how he feels about being back in the world as a real boy. If they've given Sebastian Stan too much rein here, he might be able to bring the character to life for a change so we can see what he's like out of Steve's shadow.

That's what I'm saying; it looks like he's bringing Bucky to life as himself, and I don't care to see that (I'm sure he's a lovey person, but he's rather awkward in most of the interviews I've seen). I think he would have done better if the writer(s?)/director had spelled out Bucky's personality for him so he didn't fall back on his own tics. If I'm lucky all the tic moments are in the trailers and TV spots and it won't be a concern when we can see it balanced by the whole episode. Link to comment

Chris Evans currently has two projects going and one that was just announced, but none of them are Marvel-related. Honestly? I hope not. It would be weird if he doesn't get name-checked, but to me one of the points of the new phase, both this and WandaVision, is to shed some light on characters who haven't gotten as much attention as they deserve. I said a couple of posts ago that we don't have any idea of who Bucky is, that we probably know more about Sam than we do about Barnes, and I don't think Steve's presence would be necessary. 1 Link to comment
