You had me at "he can fly".I understand Cap is an icon. But Falcon is so much cooler. He can fly, and has all sorts of cool weapons. The super serum didn't make Steve that much physically superior to many soldiers. And as for his tactical and leadership abilities, no serum can grant that.
Did I mention Falcon can fly?
They never showed the guy in the suit.
Thanks! That's what I was wondering, if we'd seen him somewhere else before. I haven't seen all of the movies so I thought maybe he'd been shown in one of the movies and I'd missed him.

why?Falcon should get a real bird instead of a robotic one.
why?
If you've keep up with stuff then you'll know he's John Walker but it hasn't been stated in the show yet.
He would have an actual animal sidekick and it would make him stand out even more as someone who has an intelligent bird companion who can help him in battle. The bird could even become a character of its own much like how Groot is a character even though he doesn't say much. Mackie and Stan compared this show to Turner and Hooch, but they could make it even more like that if Falcon has a pet falcon that he talks to as well.
And plus it is accurate to the comics anyway.

The bird is cool visually but it's kind of outdated. Like I said before I wouldn't mind a callback episode or two where Falcon needs to rely on a bird but he kind of needs a hitech option when dealing with military level threats and terrorists.
Everyone uses drones these days: the police, the military, terrorist and criminals. A bird would leave Falcon severely handicapped.
Wasn't intending on being rude at all Friend, I apologize if it came across that way. I was mainly just saying if you saw Wyatt Russell was cast as IS Agent then you'd know that's who it is, again my apologies.Not everybody has the time to "keep up with stuff" or the vast knowledge of the Marvel universe that others do. That was kind of a rude reply. Why not just answer the question without the condescension?
FWIW, I remember Feige saying somewhere that Steve in the MCU was, power-level wise, was more on par with Ultimate Cap who was damn near super-strong. Cap in the regular MCU is "as strong as a human being at their peak level could be"
Sam giving the shield to a museum or anyone was stupid and contrived. If Steve wanted it in a museum he would have given it to a museum. Now the show has to waste time getting Sam back to were he already was at the end of Endgame.
I'm already tired of Sam's sister's financial woes. That also feels contrived. Sam works contracts for the military, he helped save the universe, helped kill Thanos and his entire army, and he's the only soldier in the world with mechanical wings and the expertise to use them. But in spite of that he somehow has no regular or comfortable income? BS.
Bravo Marvel, bravo!
Episode 1 is a great step in the direction of restoring my hopes for Marvel streaming. The writing and cinematography team are significantly better than what we got for WV. I loved every second of Bucky with his shrink - the long shot across the room with the forest picture in the background, side angles of Bucky, and the steps - that's the kind of attention to detail I crave. The character arcs here are also infinitely more compelling and I really loved how they structured the opening episode into new Cap's reveal. This show feels adult, whereas WV was aimed a lot more at children. Can't forget an action-packed opening for Falcon!
Only things I didn't like were Torres and the intro for the Flag Smashers. I get that we're going deeper into the rogues here and guys like Winter Solider need equals to fight. It's only going to get better as we learn about Walker and we get the return of Zemo! This is a bit ticky tacky, but the overly square white dude at the bank stereotype is getting kind of tired, albeit the struggle for Wilson's sister is a real one. I've never known celebs to have problems getting loans - as they typically have access to a lot of other non-standard channels.
9/10. This episode felt straight out of the MCU films (especially TWS and Civil War), but we got to let these characters live and breathe without being a gimmick.
Not damn near, he was straight up super strong. He threw punches that the Hulk felt, and kicked a Giant-Man sized Pym's ass like it was nothing.

I dont like her guilt tripping Sam either. She acts like he just dipped out on her for ****s and giggles. "I raised two kids while you were gone." Yeah, a titan erased me from existence, and then a Hulk snapped me back into existence, and then I immediately had to fight for my life and the lives of an entire universe, and there was an army of monsters from space trying their damndest to rip me apart and eat me. But, sure, Im the *******, because you raised two kids, lived in a nice house, and had your own business.
I used to read silver age Captain America comics, and still watch Marvel animation on Disney+, so I slipped for a moment.
You're right, the contemporary MCU Cap is superhuman. Probably, his most exceptional feat of strength was temporarily resisting Thanos' fist in Infinity War.
For a comparison you may or may not find amusing, here's how Cap's strength used to be described.
"Captain America represents the pinnacle of human physical perfection. While not superhuman, he is as strong as a human being can be. He can lift (press) a maximum of 800 pounds with supreme effort." Captain America
